Abstract
The research aims to understand the nature of specification development during the design process including understanding: the development, contents of, and the roles of specification. The study was carried out in a consultancy company. The consultancy company was selected due to their involvement in the development of different types of products (i.e. mechanical, electronic, electro-mechanical), projects (i.e. product development, design review, etc.), dealing with different type of clients and embarking at different stages of a project. These situations provide a bounty of knowledge to the design engineers in the company and their experiences were useful for this research.The results of the case study assist in obtaining an insight into the development of specification in the customer-client context from the consultant viewpoints. It was clear that a specification is a central element in the product development process as it provides vital information for design engineers to execute the design tasks i.e. for concept generation and solution evaluation.
