AB Design and development (D/D) procedures of mechanical engineering products (MEP-s) are explored as a holistic ones, and are modeling by means of the sets system. The individual sets represent technical, economical, environmental, aesthetic and market requirements. The specific eco-design philosophy is derived from the environmental aspects and requirements. The final result of this process are the environmentally compatible MEP-s. This philosophy is applied for the conceptual phase optimisation of MEP-s. The described procedure is applied as a fundamental core for the software product CoDe-09 and its structure. An application in the automotive industry is described in the paper.
