Abstract:
Integration of design systems and process planning systems is vital to the competitiveness of manufactures and their ability to respond rapidly to market changes. In response to industrial needs, this report provides a state-of-the-art survey in technologies for the integration of product design and process planning. The survey includes high level industrial needs, available system integration architectures, process models, data models, database systems, and interface specifications. From the survey, this report highlights key problems and recommends an approach toward design and process planning.
