Application of computer-aided process planning

Learning outcomes

1. After the completion of the learning pathway, professionals can analyze the benefits of computer-aided process planning in manufacturing and formulates a manufacturing strategy that incorporates its significance. They can identify how computer-aided process planning improves efficiency, accuracy, and consistency in production, leading to reduced lead times and enhanced resource utilization.
2. After the completion of the learning pathway, professionals can evaluate the possibilities and limitations of computer-aided process planning and develops an assessment framework to identify potential risks and prevent failure or lengthy processes. They can utilize relevant criteria to assess the status of computer-aided process planning implementation and make informed decisions to mitigate risks and optimize manufacturing processes.
3. After the completion of the learning pathway, professionals can independently applies various methods encompassed within computer-aided process planning to address manufacturing requirements. They can autonomously select and utilize appropriate methods, such as feature-based process planning, variant process planning, or generative process planning, to respond efficiently to manufacturing prompts. Moreover, they can utilize available resources and tools to execute manufacturing processes more effectively.
