 Introduction
 methods of process planning
 Drawing interpretation
 Material evaluation
 steps in process selection
 Production equipment and tooling selection
 Introduction
 Input and output for process planning
 Process planning activities
 Method of process planning
 Manual process planning
 Computer aided process planning
 process planning is defined as the systematic
determination of the methods by which a product is
to be manufactured economically and competitively

 Process planning comprises the selection and


sequencing of processes and operations to transform
a chosen raw material into a finished component.

 It is the act of preparing detailed work instructions to


produce a component.

 This includes the selection of manufacturing


processes and operations, production equipment,
tooling and jigs and fixtures.
 Marketing team identify the potential market gap

 Market need for a new product and idea will generated

 R&D Team a product design development will be developed

 Concept design stage and the best solution is finalized after

evaluation

 Detail design stage all the necessary information are required

 Prototype of the product will be made upon final part

 Process plan provides detail set of work instruction


 drawing interpretation
 Material evaluation and process selection
 Selection of machine and tool work holding
 Setting process parameter
 Selection of quality assurance methods
 Cost estimating
 Prepare the process planning documentation
 Communicating the manufacturing
knowledge to the shop floor
MANUAL PROCESS PLANNING
Traditional approach
 This experience of manufacturing methods, combined
with knowledge of the types of resource available;
 in some cases previously developed plan for a similar
part forms the basis of the new plan. For each
element of each operation,
 he refers to manuals to ascertain the company's
recommended tools, feeds and speeds for the
particular material on the selected machine. Also
using manuals,
 the planned times for all the handling and machining
elements involved in the process.
Workbook approach

 This is considered a more efficient approach to process


planning.

 It involves developing workbooks of pre-determined


sequences of operations for given types of workpiece.

 pre-determined sequence of operations can be selected from


the workbook and incorporated into the process plan.
Advantages
 it is a low-cost task and is flexible,
 system can be changed easily.
Disadvantages
 Excessive clerical content
 Lack of consistency in planning
 Late design modifications
 Changing technology
 The standard plan is usually for a composite part
that incorporates all the features for a particular
group or family of parts.

 The parts are usually grouped according to how


they are made using a GT classification and coding
system.

 The process plan for the part under consideration


is compiled by retrieving those parts of the
standard plan that are relevant.

 the major disadvantage of variant systems is that


plans can be developed only for parts that have
previously been classified as one of the part
families.
 computer uses the stored manufacturing and design data to generate a
complete list of all possible process plans that could be used to
manufacture the current part.

 It then exhaustively searches this list for the one which optimizes the
cost function. This method always yields the optimum process plan for
manufacturing a particular part.

 The computations required to provide even a single process plan for an


arbitrary part design can be enormously complex.

 To repeat this for every feasible process plan or a part can become very
costly.

 It can be enhanced through the application of AI (Artificial Intelligence)


in the form of expert systems.
