| Family-of-parts programming | Computing | An efficient means of creating new parts on the system. Instead of starting from scratch, the designer makes slight changes in the design of existing parts, or uses identical parts, subassemblies, or structures designed earlier. Once the desired parameters are specified to a family-of-parts programme, the system generates the new part. Source: European Union. (references) | |
