Process planning detennines how a product is to be manufactured and
is therefore a key element in the manufacturing process. It plays a
major part in detennining the cost of components and affects all
factory activities, company competitiveness, production planning,
production efficiency and product quality. It is a crucial link
between design and manufacturing. In spite of the importance of
process planning in the manufacturing cycle, there is no fonnal
methodology which can be used, or can help to train personnel for
this job. Process planning activities are predominantly labor
intensive, depending on the experience and the skill and intuition
of the planner, and therefore often precludes a thorough analysis
and optimization of the process plan which nearly always results in
higher than necessary production costs, delays, errors and
non-standardization of processes. Process planning is regarded as
an art and not a science. Research in the field of process planning
has indicated that all experts have their own expertise and one
expert's experience might be different from that of another. It is
rare, therefore, for two planners to produce the same process. Each
process will produce the part as specified, although different
processes will result in different processing times and costs. The
question is, who is an expert? By definition an expert is one
'having or manifesting the knowledge, skill and experience needed
for success in a particular field or endeavor', or 'one who has
acquired special skill in or knowledge and mastery of something'.
