What does CAPP stand for?

The author has written this text for students and researchers in the fields of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided process planning (CAPP), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer numerical control (CNC) as well as engineers working in industrial R&D facilities.

computer-aided process planning (CAPP) and configuration management); heavy-duty infrastructure stuff (database management systems (DBMS) and data communications); and plenty of behind-the-scenes infrastructure utilities, such as web-based user interfaces and application programming interfaces (API).

At its heart is HMS Software's Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) system.

In computer-aided process planning (CAPP), an application program stores prior plans and standard sequences of manufacturing operations for families of parts coded using the group technology concept, which classifies parts based on similarity of geometric shape, manufacturing processes, or some other part characteristics.

It does, and the common denominator is multimedia work instructions in all the amazing varieties: * Shop-floor travelers * Inspection reports * Assembly instructions * Materials management documents * Tool setup sheets * Factory data collection forms * Requests for expenditures and justifications * Methods and process sheets * Job tracking sheets Successful users Cummins Engine Co, Columbus, IN, a manufacturer of diesel engines, uses this approach for computer-aided process planning systems for both of its major new programs for the 1990s: high-pressure fuel injectors and a new mid-range engine factory.

Cincinnati, Ohio, is the developer of MetCAPP computer-aided process planning software and the CUTDATA machinability database.

To improve efficiency of its jobrouting operations, IMM installed a computer-aided process planning (CAPP) system.

Using past experience Next, a computer-aided process planning (CAPP) system goes to work, using several databases.
