Abstract Details

2003, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Industrial Engineering.
Process planning has been imposed by the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) ideology a post-design nature, and researches in Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) have been mistakenly directed to automatic process planning. However, the nature of process planning dictates a successful CAPP system should be a decision support system rather than a decision generation system. Setup planning is an intermediate phase of process planning, and automatic setup planning constitutes a critical component of CAPP. The contradiction between the seemly productive research in the automatic setup planning literature and the reality of a near zero commercial application has to be ascribed to the same misconceived goal of freeing human being from every decision making process. In this thesis, a quantitative setup plan evaluation system driven by multiple attributes utility analysis coupling with manufacturing error simulation is proposed to serve three purposes, 1) to answer what is optimality of setup plans, 2) to build a framework of comparison for setup plans in practice and 3) to incorporate in existing automatic setup planning systems a human interface to fulfill their potential values.
