Abstract: Based on analyzing the limitations of AssemblytoOrder (AtoO) configuration system, a multilevel configuration design method for complicated EngineeringtoOrder (EtoO) product was presented. According to consumers' needs, based on the product family platform which was defined in advance, aiming at the characteristics of EtoO product's various modules, the multilevel configuration system could conclude a product design plan which would meet the requirements of consumers by using different level configuration rules and checking rules. The plan was the base for EtoO product design.

Key words: configuration design, assemblytoorder, engineeringtoorder, product family model, multilevel configuration
