What is Computer Aided Process
Planning (CAPP)?
A set of inter related work activities that are
characterized by a set of specific inputs and value added tasks that produce a
set of specific output is called ‘process’ and ‘process planning’ refers to a
set of instructions that are used to make a component or a part so that the
design specifications are met.
The manual
experience based process planning method is most widely used. The biggest
problem with this approach is that it is time consuming and the plans developed
over a period of time may not be consistent.
Computer aided process planning (CAPP) is able to handle
comfortably the complex task of viewing the total operation as an integrated
system. In CAPP, all the individual operations and steps involved in making
each part or component are coordinated with each other and are performed
efficiently and reliably. CAPP is a powerful tool for efficiently planning and
scheduling manufacturing operations.
