PROCESS PLANNING
PROCESS PLANNING Ø “ Determining the most appropriate manufacturing processes and the sequence in which they should be performed to produce a given part or product specified by designed Engineering”. Ø It can also be defined as “The systematic determination of the processes by which a product is to be manufactured economically & competitively”.
PROCESS PLANNING Ø The system or a process responsible for the conversion of raw material in to finished product by the most economical way within the limit of design specifications. Ø The process parameters which is used to convert the part into the final product. Ø Process planning is the intermediate stage between DESIGNING & MANUFACTURING of the product.
Defining Process Planning In general, the inputs to Process Planning are: Ø Design data Ø Raw material data Ø Facilities data (machining data, tooling data, fixture data etc) Ø Quality requirements data Ø Production type data The output of process planning is the process plan: Ø Process Plan Sheet Ø Process Sheet Ø Operation Sheet Ø Planning Sheet Ø Route Plan Ø Part Program
FUNCTIONS OF PROCESS PLANNING Process Planning has the following important functions: To determine the basic manufacturing process. Ø To determine the sequence of operations. Ø To determine the equipment's and tooling required. Ø
Who does Process Planning ? Ø Tradionally, Process Planning is done by manufacturing engineers who are familiar with the particular processes in the factory and are able to read engineering drawings. Ø Based on their Knowledge, skill and experience, they develop the processing steps in the most logical sequence required to make each part. Ø Some details are often delegated to specialists, such as tools designers.
PROCESS PLANNING CONSITS OF Sequence of operations to be performed Selecting the proper machines Selecting the proper tools Jigs & fixtures Material to be used Specifying the inspection stages Details like speed, feed, depth of cut, etc.
INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR PP The following information is needed to develop a process plan. Knowledge of Various manufacturing processes. Ø Engineering drawing of the component. Ø Knowledge of various tooling and fixtures. Ø Relative costs of various processes, tooling and raw materials. Ø Resources available in the factory. Ø Ability to do computations on machining time and cost. Ø Knowledge to use reference books, such as machinability data handbook. Ø

COMBINED OPERATIONS Ø The cost of processing can be reduced by eliminating unnecessary operations. Ø This can be achieved in number of ways and are accomplished through proper planning. Operations can be performed in two ways: 1. By Simulation 2. By Integration
By Simulation Ø Simulation involves those combinations where two or more elements of an operation, or two or more operations are performed at the same time. Ø Example: series of hole to be drilled simultaneously using a multiple spindle drill press. Cuter are specially designed.
By Integration Ø Where several individual elements of an operation or group of operations are combined in succession but not simultaneously. Ø Example: Taping is done after drilling hole on the same set up by just changing the tool.
ADVANTAGES OF COMBINED OPERATIONS Improved accuracy Ø Reduced labor cost Ø Reduced plant fixed cost Ø Less tooling required Ø Less handling required Ø Fewer setups Ø Smaller in process inventory Ø Less scrap Ø Fewer inspection points required Ø
DISADVANTAGES OF COMBINED OPERATIONS Maintaining tool accuracy Ø� Possible higher tool costs Ø Maintaining dimensions for several baselines Ø More costly setups Ø� Sometimes scrap is increased Ø Compromises on operational speed Ø Chip disposal Ø
INSPECTION Ø Quality related in-process inspection is an essential part of quality control in manufacturing. Ø It includes measuring, examining or testing one or more characteristics of a product or process. Ø Inspection includes separation of defective parts from the non-defective parts.
TYPES OF INSPECTION FLOOR Done at work station itself CENTRALIZE D Special cell located in the industry
DETERMINATION OF INSPECTION STAGES Quality inspection serves three main purposes: Ø Identification of the problem. Ø Preventing its occurrence. Ø Elimination of the problem. Ø Type of production system. Ø Type of layout. Ø Type of machine used.
PURPOSE OF INSPECTION Ø To distinguish good lots from bad lots. Ø To distinguish good pieces from bad pieces. Ø To determine if the process is changing. Ø To rate quality of product. Ø To rate accuracy of inspectors. Ø To measure precision of instruments. Ø To secure products design information.
STAGES OF INSPECTION v Inspection of incoming material. v Inspection during the manufacturing process. v Inspection of Production processes. v Inspection of finished goods when it is completely manufactured. v Inspection of the product before delivery, if material is stored from long time.
