New strategies and requirements for product development imply the equivalent treatment of modelling tasks for product and process. In the present article an approach is described which aims on the flexible adaptation of the product development with respect to product and process specific constraints. This is achieved by the combination of an approach for planning and optimisation of product development, a semantic feature approach which enables the individual integration of system components and a method for quality management accompanying the product development.

Feature modelling systems serve for the integrated processing of geometric, technological and functional information during design. They enable the designer to work with design elements he is accustomed to. Information contained in the feature model can be accessed and processed by other phases involved in the product development. This article describes a feature modelling system and the resulting design environment.
