Description
Multiple-variant production is not only imposed by variant product structures but also by varying manufacturing process plans. The efficient generation of process plans and the uncomplicated maintenance of process planning knowledge gains in importance.
Process configuration extends the known product configuration principles for use in the process planning task. The approach presents an innovative visual way of representing manufacturing process knowledge which allows to distinguish between different categories of knowledge and hence simplifies knowledge maintenance strongly. The author develops not only the process configuration method but also explains its information technological implementation.
This book presents a rich variety of ideas for production managers who are confronted with increasing variety in the process planning and seek information technological backing.
