The current planning and advanced design systems of the products and processes require a higher complexity and this necessitates more than a single designer to accomplish it. The collaboration and teamwork represent the optimal way by which all the activities linked to the decision process can be realized. The current decision-assistance systems are designed to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the decision-makers by facilitating the information exchange, the way the information is accessed and used, the diminution of the specific deficiencies related with the design activities, the key-presence of some members, the social pressure, the inhibition of expression and so on. The IDDesign project presented in this paper aims at improving the decision – making process in advanced product and process quality planning and design, from identifying customer requirements, product / process planning, to prototype validation and production. It is our purpose to use modern tools that are related to intelligent decision support systems, and integrate them in process / product planning in order to reduce or eliminate the existing deficiencies, such as the geographical distribution of meeting participants, the subjectivism, and the dominant characters of some members, the social pressure, and the constraints.
