Abstract: Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) system plays an important role in helping manufacturing companies move towards enterprise-wide automation in achieving competitive advantages. Manufacturing process planning plays a significant role by providing concurrent integration capabilities, from design to planning, scheduling and manufacturing. A concurrent manufacturing process planning architecture has been developed to support the integration of process planning with design, manufacturing, Capacity Planning and Scheduling (CPS) for tooling production. A prototype system based on this system architecture has been developed and tested in a tooling job shop, with satisfactory results.

Keywords: collaborative process planning; manufacturing process planning; computer-aided Design; CAD; computer-aided manufacturing; CAM; capacity planning; scheduling; CPS; distributed integration; tooling job shops; CIM; computer-integrated manufacturing. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
