ABSTRACT
The role of parts engineering is to assure the use of parts qualied for the application and to standardize on the fewest possible number of different parts. This is accomplished by development of a standard parts list from which designers may select parts. Any suggestions for additions to the list by designers are reviewed to determine if a suitable part has already been identied or an existing listing can be applied to the new application. Some parts may require a company parts specication written by someone from parts engineering and someone from the requesting team. The parts list should be a responsibility of the program integration team (PIT) when the program is organized as discussed in this book.
