Abstract
This paper discusses current weak points in manufacturing planning and the need for more collaboration between process planning and scheduling. It then describes the approach and prototype developments of a new software system (Complan) in which process planning and workshop scheduling are supported as collaborative tasks that operate on the same data base. The system uses net-shaped process plans with manufacturing alternatives to increase planning flexibility in the workshop. The system provides equally manual and automatic planning functions for process planning and scheduling and also provides an interactive interface to CAD.
