Ak. Kamrani et al., CRITICAL ISSUES IN DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING SYSTEMS, Computers & industrial engineering, 29, 1995, pp. 619-623
In this article an overview of the techniques and the role of process
planning within today's modern manufacturing industry is identified. C
haracteristics and critical issues associated with the evaluation and
selection of a CAPP system are also discussed. Finally, the stages ass
ociated with the design and implementation of a Knowledge-Based Comput
er-Aided Process Planning is identified. The developed system is struc
tured based feature-based modeling, geometric dimensioning and toleran
cing, and group technology.
