SME has given a more descriptive definition for process planning and that is "the systematic
determination of the methods by which a product is to be manufactured, economically and competitively."
It is considered as the major link between the design and manufacturing. Its input is the product design
and specification and its output is the production steps and instructions. This sequence of interpretation
and planning consists of a series of worksteps. With the interpretation being made on the product design
data, and material, process activities are identified and sequenced. Furthermore, resources such as
machine, tools, and dunnage are selected, and associated time for processes are established and
documented. This task is traditionally done using the experience of the planner and performed manually.
This approach is still true in many industries. Computer technology has greatly impacted the role of
design and manufacturing engineers during life cycle of products. Computer Aided Process Planning
(CAPP) is one tool which frees the process planner from the many decisions which is required during
the process planning task. Although, in many industries, a CAPP system which could replace an
experienced process planner has not been yet developed and therefore available CAPP systems are not
accepted as a solution.
