Configuration matrices are used in the development of products for the documentation of modular product structures. They represent a visual tool for managing configuration knowledge changes, so it can be said that configuration knowledge changes concurrently with the impact of product development on existing products. The presentation of knowledge via such matrices facilitates the management of configuration rules in environment changes. We attempted to provide a presentation that would be easily comprehensible and adapted to human abilities. In addition to matrices, the paper also presents a matrix-based configurator and its design.

Key words: configuration knowledge, configuration matrix, matrix-based configurator.
