Process Planning and Concurrent Engineering T. Ramayah and Noraini Ismail The product design is the plan for the product and its components and subassemblies. To convert the product design into a physical entity, a manufacturing plan is needed. The activity of developing such a plan is called process planning. It is the link between product design and manufacturing. Process planning involves determining the sequence of processing and assembly steps that must be accomplished to make the product. In the present chapter, we examine processing planning and several related topics. Fundamentals of Machining Machining is the manufacturing process in which the size, shape, or surface properties of a pert are changed by removing the excess material. Therefore, machining is a relatively expensive process that should be specified only when high accuracy and good surface finish are required, which, unfortunately, are necessary for almost all mating parts. There are five basic types of machine tools to perform machining: lathe or turning machine, drilling or boring machine, milling machine, shaper or planer, and grinder. The first four, referred to as the basic machine tools, are similar in that they use cutting tools that are sharpened to a predetermined shape, whereas, the cutting edges on a grinding wheel are not controlled. The machining operation is chip formation process which is accomplished through the relative motion of a tool and the work piece, as is done with machine tools. However, the material removal mechanism my be chemical, electrical, or thermal as in the case of the unconventional processes such as electrochemical machining (ECM), electrical discharge machining (EDM), and laser-beam machining (LBM). The cutting conditions in machining with NC machines usually refer to those variables that are changed by the part programmer and that affect the rate of metal removal. They are the cutting speed and the size of cut, which refers to the feed and depth. Process Plan
