Conventional process planning in manufacturing operations presents fixed process means and process tolerances for all operations and allows actual outputs to be distributed around these fixed values, as long as the final outputs fall within acceptable specifications. Some approaches attempt to maxim

โฆ Synopsis
Producing high-quality products at low cost is one of the key factors to survival for manufacturing sectors in today's intense global competition environment. One way to gain competitiveness is to integrate product design and process planning into one activity. This study attempts to determine optimal process parameters for a manufacturing process under given design parameters. The process parameters to be determined in this study include process means and process tolerances for particular manufacturing process sequences. The problem is formulated in constrained non-linear optimization, considering both quality-and manufacturing-related costs. The proposed application evaluates alternative product designs and process sequences so that the best associated process parameters can be determined during the early stages of design and planning. This makes the link between CAD and CAM systems more useful and effective. As a result, optimal integration of product design and process planning with minimal production costs and maximal product quality is possible.
