The paper describes hierarchical morphological multicriteria design (HMMD) of decomposable systems HMMD consists of an hierar chical model for the designed system, design alternatives (DAs) for system components, interconnection (Is) among DAs, estimates of DAs and Is, and composite DAs An hierarchical composition of composite DAs from the best DAs at the lower hierarchical level is the key problem of HMMD Ordinal Is are used The composition process is based on a morphological clique problem An example demonstrates the design and improvement
