Operation Sequencing in CAPP by using Artificial Neural Network

Ajay Singh Rana,Raman Kumar, Mahakdeep Singh, Arun Kumar

Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) is an important interface between Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) in Computer Integrating Manufacturing (CIM) System. Operation Sequencing in Process Planning is concern with the selection of machining operations in steps that can produce each form feature of part by satisfying relevant technological constraints specified in drawing. This paper demonstrates the application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a global for a quick identification of optimal or near optimal operation sequence for rotational parts.
