It is well blown that the product development time in manufacturing industry is critical. A new methodology for a product design knowledge management is required to reduce design errors and to optimize a design process. In this paper, Process-Related design knowledge management and Document Template are introduced to provide a design process to prevent previous design errors and a solution for the desist errors. Also the Document Template is more convenient interface in integrating the design knowledge into a system.

Selection procedures of earth retention systems are increasingly complex and directly related to the serviceability of the retaining structure selection systems since significant changes in earth retention technology motivates the review of design, and selection processes of earth retaining structures. Collection and classification of retaining structure selection knowledge are key issues because two expert groups, geotechnical and structural engineers, are mainly involved in the retaining structure selection. The course of natural tendency of expert knowledge are investigated considering the decision factors. The decision factors for selecting retaining structures are divided into four categories: application of the structure, and spatial, behavior, and economic constraints.
