Conclusions Regarding Goal-Oriented Questions

After having addressed the engineering specific questions we propose the following answers to the goal-oriented questions. 

Question 1. What benefits can be gained from having a more integrated design methodology  

Question 2. What are the practical constraints that need to be considered from a resources point of view, i.e. time, costs, tools and skill levels, when developing and applying a design methodology in a work process  

Question 3. What are the essential ingredients for such a design methodology
