Item Optimal Process Sequencing in CAPP Systems.(1988) Ssemakula, M.E.; Nau, D.S.; Rangachar, R.M.; Yang, Q.; ISRAutomated Process Planning forms an important link in CIM Systems. Process Sequencing is one of the most important phases of process planning and is influenced by factors such as part geometry, available manufacturing resources and generated cutting forces. This paper describes a new AI based approach to optimizing this function using heuristic search techniques.Item The Prospects of Process Sequence Optimization in CAPP Systems.(1987) Ssemakula, M.E.; Rangachar, R.M.; ISRAutomated Process Planning forms an important link in the integration of CAD and CAM systems. This paper gives an overview of the main types of computerized process planning systems. It demonstrates that part geometry, available machines and cutting tools as well as required cutting forces are the important factors that influence sequencing of the required machining processes. The paper analyzes feasible method for process sequence optimization, which is an important part of process sequencing.
