Abstract
This paper presents a feature based Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) system for rotational components. While developing a feature based CAPP system, a set of flexible process plans were encountered and a population based heuristics namely Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to obtain a most optimal process plan for a defined objective function. The objective function for optimization of process plan is the minimization of manufacturing score. Proposed methodology has been implemented for an example part having different rotational features.
