Engineering methods come into the design area from different practical and theoretical sources. It has been usually supposed that their efficiency is mostly restricted by their theoretical and terminological inconsistency. However, it has been found that the key problem relates to the three characteristic levels of their use that could be structured very roughly as intuitive, methodical-empirical and flexible systematic. The contribution presents the proven strategy of the effective implementation of engineering methods based on the theory of technical systems to engineering design education and practice. It has even gained very promising results in the area of suppliers for large manufacturers in the automotive industry. These suppliers are in an especially difficult situation because they develop and manufacture components in large series, and these have to fulfil requirements given not only by a contractor but also by remote final customers. There is a substantial increase in the demands made on their flexibility together with the need to maintain a short delivery time and the highest overall quality of their products.
