공정계획(process planning)이란 제품에 대한 설계정보 및 제한된 가용자원에 대한 정보를 바탕으로 비용, 생산량을 고려하여 원자재를 원하는 형태로 변형시키기 위한 방법의 체계적인 결정과정이라 할 수 있으며, 생산계획(production planning: scheduling)이나 작업계획(operation planning)과 연계하여 설계와 생산을 연결하는 교량 역할을 수행한다. 이러한 공정계획 작업을 컴퓨터에 의해 자동화하기 위한 컴퓨터 원용 공정계획(computer aided process planning : CAPP)은 변환적 방식(variant approach)에서 시작되어 창생적 방식(generative approach)으로 발전되어 왔으며 인공지능 기법을 응용 한 지식기반 CAPP(knowledge based CAPP) 방식에 이르기 까지 CAM-1's CAPP, APPAS, GARE, SIPS, XCUT등 수많은 연구가 행해 졌다. 본 연구에서는 자동차 부품 업체인 K사의 공정계획 사례를 바탕으로 범용성이 있는 개방형 공정계획 시스템의 개발을 목표로 한다. 본 시스템에서 i) 설계정보는 객체지향에 의해 표현된 형상특징을 사용하고 ii) 공정계획은 국부적 공정계 획과 전체적 공정계획 과정(golbal planning)으로 구별하였고 iii) 공정계획을 위한 정보는 지식 베이스(knowledge base : KB) 와 데이타 베이스(data base : DB)로 구분하였다. 또한 iv) 정보의 모듈화를 통하여 임의의 제조라인에 적합하도록 개방형을 추구하였다.

Dynamic characteristic of manufacturing stage is understood and the utilization of each machine is maximized by developing on-line dynamic CAPP system to consider the overloads in the aircraft part manufacturing line. In this paper, a scheme of production planning and scheduling system was proposed through inspection about some predeveloped CAPP system. Developed production planning and scheduling system included process planning module. After precise inspection of some FMS line schema at domestic heavy industry, optimized FMS line was applied to aircraft part manufacturing and repairing factory. By virtue of considering overloads of factory and machine through on-line dynamic CAPP system, the utilization of resources is maximized and manufacturing lead time is minimized.

다품종소량생산의 특징을 갖고 있는 금형공업에서 컴퓨터통합생산시스템(Computer Integrated Manufacturing System;CIMS)의 실현을 위한 중요한 분야의 하나는 부품설계도면으로부터 최종제품을 생산하는데 필요한 공정계획의 자동화, 즉 컴퓨터를 이용하여 공정계획을 자동적으로 생성하는 자동공정계획시스템(Computer Aided Process Planning;CAPP) 기술의 개발이다. 국내외적으로 CAPP분야의 연구는 컴퓨터 지원에 의한 자동화 기술의 급속한 발전과 더불어 지난 20여년 동안에 기계가공품에 관한 CAPP은 약 150여가지가 개발되었으나, 이는 컴퓨터 지원에 의한 설계의 자동화(Computer Aided Design;CAD)나 컴퓨터 지원에 의한 제조의 자동화(Computer Aided Manufacturing;CAM)분야에 비해 상대적으로 저조한 형편이다. 특히 금형을 대상으로 한 CAPP시스템의 개발은 아직 초기단계에 있기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 사출금형을 대상으로 하여 실용성이 있는 공정설계시스템을 개발함을 목적으로 한다. 일반적으로 공정계획은 "소재로부터 제품을 경제적, 효율적으로 생산하는데 필요한 제조공정의 체계적인 결정"이라고 정의할 수 있다. 공정계획은 제품의 종류와 수량, 재료와 부품의 종류, 보유 생산설비와 제조기술의 수준에 따라 다르나, 공정설계(Process Design)와 작업설계(Operation Design)로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 공정계획을 광의의 공정설계로 정의하고, 공정설계와 공정계획을 동의어로 통용토록 한다. 기존의 CAPP시스템의 개발에 관한 기본적인 접근방법은 변성형방법(Variant method), 창성형방법(Generative method) 및 자동화방법(Automatic method)이 있다. 이들 CAPP시스템을 개발할 때 사용하는 기법은 크게 5가지- (1) GT(group Technology) 접근기법, (2) Bottom-up 접근기법, (3) Top-down 접근기법, (4) AI와 전문가시스템(Expert System) 접근기법, (5) 컴퓨터 프로그래밍 언어 - 로 분류할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전문가시스템 기법을 도입해서 사출금형 공정계획전문가의 지식과 경험을 획득하여 지식베이스를 구축하고, 전문가시스템 셀(shell)중 CLIPS를 이용하여 자동공정계획시스템인 Mold CAPP을 개발하였다.PP을 개발하였다.

Process planning is a very complex task and requires the dynamic informatioon of shop foor and market situations. Process plan selection is one of the main problems in the process planning. In this paper, we propose a new process plan selection model considering operation flexibility for the computer aided process planing. The model is formulated as a 0-1 integer programming considering realistic shop factors such as production volume, machining time, machine capacity, transportation time and capacity of tractors such as production volume, machining time, machine capacity, transportation time capacity of transfer device. The objective of the model is to minimize the sum of the processing and transportation time for all parts. A genetic algorithm a, pp.oach is developed to solve the model. The efficiency of the proposed a, pp.oach is verified with numerical examples.

This paper deals with an automated computer-aided process planning system by which designer can determine operation sequences even if they have little experience in process planning of wheel bolt products by a multi-stage former. The approach to the system is based on knowledge-based rules and a process knowledge base consisting of design rules is built. Knowledge for the system is formulated from plasticity theories, empirical results and the empirical knowledge of field experts. Programs for the system have been written in AutoLISP for the AutoCAD using a personal computer and are composed of two main modules. An attempt is made to link programs incorporationg a number of expert design rules to form a useful package. Results obtained using the modules enable the designer and manufacturer of wheel bolt product to be more efficient in this field.

공정설계는 설계와 가공에 대한 지식을 갖고 있는 사람이 부품설계 도면의 정보를 이용, 생산 현장에서 소재를 부품으로 가공하기 위하여 필요한 가공정보들을 수집, 검토하여 상세한 작업지시를 준비하는 일련의 활동이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 공정설계는 제품을 경제적, 효율적으로 생산하는데 필요한 체계적인 결정방식이며, 설계와 가공사이의 정보흐름을 원활하게 하여 제조공정상의 교량역할을 하는 핵심적인 부분이므로, 본 논문에서는 첨단생산시스템을 구현하기 위한 차세대가공시스템의 소과제중 하나인 "지적공정계획기술" 과제에서 기존에 상용화된 CAD/CAM(Compu-ter Aided Design / Manufacturing)시스템을 이용하여 설계와 가공의 정보를 체계화하고 지식 베이스화하여 설계정보가 생산현장까지 이어질 수 있도록 개발중인 컴퓨터를 이용한 공정설계자동화시스템(CAPP : Computer Aided Process Planning)에 대하여 기술하고자 한다.

Computer aided process planning(CAPP) is a key for implementing CIM. It is bridge between CAD and CAM and translates the design information into manufacturing instructions. Generally, manufacturing is an area where intelligent systems will not be able to rely on methods requiring formalized knowledge. Manufacturing lacks a body of knowledge that is specific, formalized, and rigorous, and which can be coded as rules or procedures. Thus expertise in manufacturing is developed over a period of many years. Case-based reasoning(CBR) offers a new approach for developing intelligent system. In the case-based approach the problem solving experience of the experts is encoded in the form of cases. CBR's retrieval process can be divided to two step. The first step is matching step, and the second step is selection step. For selecting base case, new preference heuristics were introduced using similarity concept. Similarity concept has three has three dimensions, i.e. entity similarity, structural similarity, and goal similarity. In this paper, bolt's process planning was selected an application domain. Following the test result, the new preference heuristics were approved as a useful procedure in CAPP.

The role of product model in CIM environemt(where such heterogenous application programs as CAD, CAE, CAM, Database, and Expert Systems are included) is system integration. Product model manages all the information related to manufacuring activities. This information includes shapes, operation, process, scheduling, quality, and mangement. Product model architecture includes product model kernel, object schema, model manipulation language, and user interface. Objects to be shared are defined using the model manipulation luage and the defintions are saved in the object schema. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a prototype. In this prototype, application programs for CAPP(Computer Aided Process Planning) are used.
