Process and Operation Planning - G.Halevi - 2003



Process and Operation Planning: Revised Edition of The Principles of Process Planning: A Logical Approach

Springer Science & Business Media, 2003 - Business & Economics - 335 pages

Process planning determines how a product is to be manufactured and is therefore a key element in the manufacturing process. It plays a major part in determining the cost of components and affects all factory activities, company competitiveness, production planning, production efficiency and product quality. It is a crucial link between design and manufacturing. In spite of the importance of process planning in the manufacturing cycle, there is no formal methodology which can be used, or can help to train personnel for this job. 

Process planning is based on knowledge of manufacturing processes. But the practice depends on the experience and the skill and intuition of the planner. There is methodology so far, for a thorough analysis and optimization of the process plan which nearly always results in higher than necessary production costs, delays, errors and non-standardization of processes. Process planning is regarded as an art and not a science. Research in the field of process planning has indicated that all experts have their own expertise and one expert's experience might be different from that of another. It is rare, therefore, for two planners to produce the same process. Each process will produce the part as specified, although different processes will result in different processing times and costs. 

The question is, who is an expert? By definition an expert is one 'having or manifesting the knowledge, skill and experience needed for success in a particular field or endeavor', or 'one who has acquired special skill in or knowledge and mastery of something'.

The book tries to systematize the process planning procedure. It provides number of decision steps to be followed in sequence and also presents algorithms for some of the steps.

Basic Types of Material Removal Processes

The planner has the classify the shape as per part drawing to:

a. Round symmetrical
b. Prismatic

Above the basic shape there will be special features like holes, threads, slots, and flats.

Processes used for Round symmetrical parts: Turning, Grinding,
Processes used for Prismatic parts: Milling, Grinding
Holes: Drilling, Boring Reaming
Threads: Tapping, Thread Milling

Selection machining technology also is dependent on surface finish.

Turning provides surface finish in the range of 0.8 microns to 25 microns Ra.
Grinding provides surface finish in the range of 0.1 microns to 1.6 microns Ra.

A basic process is selected first. In case of round symmetrical parts, turning is the basic process. If the basic process does not meet the surface roughness specification, an additional machining process is to be added, in addition to the first basic process. Then check the geometric tolerances (for parallelism, perpendicularity, concentricity and angularity). If the last machining process meets the required geometric tolerances the job can be completed. If it does not meet the specification, one machining process has to be added.

When more than one machining process is used, part drawings have to be prepared for each one.  The working drawing or operation drawings are needed because the material to be left for the subsequent process has to be clearly indicated. Also the cutting parameters will be different for each operation.

Some guidelines in multiple operations;
1. In the first basic process you can specify the maximum capability value of the process as surface roughness.
2. In case of external dimension, increase the tolerance specified by 10 times to match the surface roughness specified above.

10. How to Select a Machine for the Job


1 Parameters to Consider

Consider the size of the workpiece and its accuracy demands and estimate the required parameters, especially the power.

2 Optimization Strategy Two Phase Method

In the first phase, a theoretical process is generated by considering all technical constraints. For each individual operation, the parameters have been defined; depth of cut, feed rate and cutting speed.

In the second phase, the theoretical operations are transformed from available facilities point of view. Now the operation is specified to comply with the available machine specification.

2.1 Definition of the combinatorial problem
2.2 Mathematical definition of the process planning problem
2.3 Solving the problem by dynamic programming procedure

3 Machine Constraints

3.1 Power and force adjustment

Power is a linear function of cutting speed and cutting forces.

Cutting force is a function of feed and depth of cut.

We can calculate the power required to do the job in minimum time subject to technological constraints. If power of the available machine is less, we have to modify cutting parameters.

It is more profitable to reduce cutting speed.

The power adjustment guideline:

If the power has to be reduced by less than 50%.
1. Reduce the cutting speed to its lowest value.
2. Reduce the feed to lower limit.
3. Reduce the depth of cut, take more passes and adjust feed upward as possible.

3.2 Maximum depth of cut constraint

Each machine has d.o.c. constraint. A d.o.c above this value will result in chatter. So d.o.c has to be reduced below this value and more cuts are to be taken.

3.3 Maximum torque constraints

Torque is obtained by multiplication of cutting force by radius of part or tool.  Hence adjustment has to be done appropriately.

3.4 Machine accuracy constraint

Old machines may be used for roughing operations and finish cuts are taken better machines to achieve the required accuracy.

3.5 Spindle bore constraint

If spindle bore is less than the part diameter, the type of holding the work piece will be different from chucking. The allowable bending forces are to be calculated and cutting conditions are to be modified.

3. 6 Time and cost conversion

The optimization criterion can be either maximum production or minimum cost.


4 Preliminary Machine Selection


4.1 First step in machine selection

Selection based on type of machine and its physical dimension.

For round symmetrical work a lathe machine is required. In the first step exclude machines which cannot do the job.

4.2 Second step

Exclude machines who do not have even the minimum power to run a cutting pass on the job.

4.3 Third step in machine selection

In the third step calculate the time require to machine the part of cost incurred in doing the job.


5 Matrix Solution

A matrix is developed with operations as rows and machines that can be used as columns. The time taken is put in each cell.

51 Single machine solution

If the total of operations times on a single machine is less than than the total of the minimum for each machine plus transfer time, single machine solution may be selected.

52 General matrix solution

General matrix solution is required when multiple machines are to be used to complete the job. The dynamic programming method is used for it.

First Edition

Principles of Process Planning: A logical approach

G. Halevi, R. Weill
Springer Science & Business Media, 31-Dec-1994 - Technology & Engineering - 399 pages

Process planning determines how a product is to be manufactured and is therefore a key element in the manufacturing process. It plays a major part in determining the cost of components and affects all factory activities, company competitiveness, production planning, production efficiency and product quality. It is a crucial link between design and manufacturing. There are several levels of process planning activities. Early in product engineering and development, process planning is responsible for determining the general method of production. The selected general method of production affects the design constraints. In the last stages of design, the designer has to consider ease of manufacturing in order for it to be economic. The part design data is transferred from engineering to manufacturing and process planners develop the detailed work package for manufacturing a part. Dimensions and tolerances are determined for each stage of processing of the workpiece. Process planning determines the sequence of operations and utilization of machine tools. Cutting tools, fixtures, gauges and other accessory tooling are also specified. Feeds, speeds and other parameters of the metal cutting and forming processes are determined.

Knowledge-Based Process Planning for Construction and Manufacturing
Carlos Zozaya-Gorostiza
Elsevier, 02-Dec-2012 - Business & Economics - 320 pages

Knowledge-Based Process Planning for Construction and Manufacturing describes a knowledge-based system architecture that is used to develop process planning systems called PLANEX.

This book explains that PLANEX is a domain-independent, knowledge-based process planning system architecture. Starting from a description of the physical artifact to be constructed or manufactured, PLANEX generates the set of activities used to create the artifact. These activities, with their required resources, are linked into a process planning network which can be used in project scheduling or management. This text also reviews the concepts, requirements, and resulting architecture of PLANEX, including detailed descriptions of applications of the system in construction and manufacturing.

This publication is recommended to engineers, architects, and specialists interested in construction and manufacturing process planning.


Process Planning Optimization in Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

Farayi Musharavati
Universal-Publishers, 2010 - Technology & Engineering - 200 pages

To date, reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) are among the most effective manufacturing styles that can offer manufacturers an alternative way of facing up to the challenges of continual changes in production requirements within the global, competitive and dynamic manufacturing environments. However, availability of optimal process plans that are suitable for reconfigurable manufacturing is one of the key enablers - yet to be fully unlocked - for realizing the full benefits of true RMSs. To unlock the process planning key and advance the state of art of reconfigurable manufacturing in the manufacturing industry, a number of questions need to be answered: (i) what decision making models and (ii) what computational techniques, can be applied to provide optimal manufacturing process planning solutions that are suitable for logical reconfiguration in manufacturing systems? To answer these questions, you must understand how to model reconfigurable manufacturing activities in an optimization perspective. You must also understand how to develop and select appropriate optimization techniques for solving process planning problems in manufacturing systems. To this end, Process Planning Optimization in Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems covers: the design and operation of RMSs, optimal process planning modelling for reconfigurable manufacturing and the design and implementation of heuristic algorithm design techniques. The author explores how to: model optimization problems, select suitable optimization techniques, develop optimization algorithms, comparatively analyze the performance of candidate metaheuristics and how to investigate the effects of optimal process planning solutions on operating levels in manufacturing systems. This book delineates five alternative heuristic algorithm design techniques ─ based on simulated annealing, genetic algorithms and the boltzmann machine ─ that are tasked to solve manufacturing process planning optimization problems in RMSs. After reading this book, you will understand: how a reconfigurable manufacturing system works, the different types of manufacturing optimization problems associated with reconfigurable manufacturing, as well as the conventional and intelligent techniques that are suitable for solving process planning optimization problems. You will also be able to develop and implement effective optimization procedures and algorithms for a wide spectrum of optimization problems in design and reconfigurable manufacturing.

Construction Process Planning and Management: An Owner's Guide to Successful Projects
Sidney M Levy
Butterworth-Heinemann, 24-Sept-2009 - Technology & Engineering - 392 pages

By their very nature, construction projects can create seemingly endless opportunities for conflict. Written by a best selling author with over 40 years of experiences in the construction and general contracting business, Construction Process Planning and Management provides you with the necessary tools to save time and money on your construction project. In this book, Sid Levy provides valuable advice for avoiding or working through the common problems that are a result of the long-term nature of construction projects, failure to select a ?project delivery system? appropriate to the project, incomplete drawing and specifications, unrealistic scheduling, poor communication and coordination among participants, and inadequate contract administration.
