Abstract
In spite of the importance of process planning in the manufacturing cycle, it is still predominantly a labor-intensive activity, leaning heavily on experience, skill and intuition. Dependence on practical experience often precludes a thorough analysis and optimization of the process plan and nearly always results in higher-than-necessary production costs, delays, errors and non-standardization of processes.
