Summary:
The future of manufacturing industry is extending from the high profile systems like CAD and CAM, to a system that provides real time knowledge towards the manufacturing process. Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) is such a system. The computer provides the CAPP system a means to store and search previously developed process plans to find a similar process for a current part. In this research a CAPP application was developed using dBase IV, to provide a link between manufacturing process plans and engineering data. The relational database used provides an effective way to manage and manipulate manufacturing process information. The application uses engineering and manufacturing data from Curt G. Joa, Inc., to verify its operation. The development of the application, its corresponding computer programs, and literature survey are discussed in this thesis.
