Building a morphological table

When all symbolic attributes and their values are identified, we are ready to construct a morphological table. This table will have a number of rows equal to the number of attributes and a number of columns equal to the maximum number of values any attribute may have. For example, if we have five symbolic attributes having two, three, six, four, and seven values respectively, our table will have five rows and seven columns. Such a table is shown below (Table 6.1). The symbols A] to Aj represent our individual 

Usually, a morphological table is gradually built and expanded. In the process, we add more attributes (and sometimes eliminate them) and add values to the individual attributes. This is a dynamic process, and the best practice is to build a morphological table from scratch using a word processor or a spreadsheet.
