Optimization of Pull-Type Production Process with Computer Aided Process Planning

Integrated Approach in Computer Aided Process Planning

The paper presents the conception and achievement of a CAPP module integrated in a CIM system. For the conception of the CAPP module the DB, OOP and OODBMS methods have been integrated in . Thus, a hybride CAPP module (TechCIM) have been realised, which was integrated into a CIM system designed for the manufacturing of the cardanic transmissions from cars. By integrating of the product concepti...

Integration of scheduling with computer aided process planning

Computer aided process planning (CAPP) and scheduling are two major activities in a modern manufacturing system. The existing CAPP systems have not taken account of shop floor conditions while developing process plans. This paper discusses the importance of integration of scheduling and CAPP and proposes a method for the same. There can be several methods to machine a part and several machines ...

Artificial Intelligence Planning for Generative Computer Aided Process Planning

Several approaches and systems have been proposed in generative Computer Aided Process Planning field (CAPP), with different advantages and drawbacks. Most of these works are based on expert systems, production rules or special-purpose planning systems. In expert systems and production rules systems much knowledge representation is required, and special-purpose planning systems, on the other ha...

Computer Aided Process Planning of Machined Metal Parts

Development of a Generic Computer-Aided Process Planning Support System

Although there is significant industrial need for comprehensive computer-aided process planning systems (CAPP), most traditional CAPP solutions have been fragmented in nature. This is because each CAPP domain (assembly, machining, inspection, etc.) has been treated independently. This paper argues in favor of adopting ‘feature-orientation’ as the unifying theme and describes a Generic CAPP Supp...
