ABSTRACT
So far as the MSA/MSD linking process is concerned, the following should be pointed out: (1) The contents of the linking tables may be edited by the users to present their specific knowledge, reflect their past experience and match their particular strategic requirements; (2) The final part of planning the design process, the design task refinement stage, is in effect the first stage of the design task execution. It involves the configuring of the design task with respect to its specific objectives, activities to be carried out, and tools/techniques to be applied.
