Abstract
Much research work has been carried out (and still is) on the development of Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) systems as a means of bridging the gap between design and manufacture, aiming at an increase in production, higher production quality and lower costs. However, most of these works have been developed at research centers outside the factory. This commonly leads to the resulting CAPP system not being of efficient use on the shop-floor. Described within this paper is the architecture of a Manufacturing Support System for Process Planning, referred to as MSSPP, which is being developed as a cooperation between the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and Schneider Logemann Cia. (SLC), a Brazilian company which produces machines for agricultural harvesting and planting. The system will support the process planner in the preparation of consistent and feasible process plans, taking into account the resources available at the shop-floor. It will also provide the simulation of the tool paths for machining.
