Manual Process Planning in Manufacturing

Process planning involves preparing for the manufacturing of products by selecting processes to transform raw materials into the desired shape. This includes interpreting product designs, selecting materials and machines, determining setup requirements, designing tools and fixtures, selecting machining methods and sequences, choosing cutting tools and conditions, planning tool paths and generating NC programs and route sheets. Traditionally, this was done manually by experts but was time-consuming and inconsistent, so computer-aided process planning has become increasingly important.

Process Planning

Process planning involves the preparation for the manufacture of products.

Process planning deals with the selection and definition of the processes that have to be
performed in order to transform raw material into a given shape

Interpretation of the product design data to identify major features to be produced.

Determination of raw material Selection of machine tools.

Determination of set-up requirements.

Design of tools, dies, fixtures and gauges.

Determination of machining methods (production tolerances) and machining sequences.

Selection of cutting tools and cutting conditions.

Determination of tool paths (tool path planning) and generation of NC programs.

Generation of route sheet.


Manual Process Planning:

Manual process planning relies heavily on the expertise of a process planner.

Long lead time: complicated activities and decisions require more time and labour

Non-optimized and inconsistent process plan

Due to the rapid reduction in experienced process planner in industry and shorter product
life cycle, the importance of CAPP cannot be overlooked.
