However merely ensuring that the product meets the design specification and is of the requứed quality is not enough. The manufacture of the product must be cost-effective that is maximize the added value and meet the agreed deadlines that is be completed on time. Therefore through process planning the manufacturing engineer is responsible for ensuring that the product is manufactured to the correct specification at the lowest possible cost and completed on time. Aims and objectives The main aim of this chapter is to define process planning including the identification of the main tasks undertaken in process planning. On completion of this chapter you should be able to identify the functions involved in product design and manufacture define the process planning activity identify and describe the main tasks undertaken during process planning identify and describe the various data used in process planning identify and describe the main process planning documentation identify and describe the relationship between process planning and other manufacturing functions. Design and manufacture cycle In Chapter 1 the functions incorporated into a manufacturing organization were identified. One of these was engineering which has the responsibility for product design and R D. In organizations that design and manufacture products these two functions must work together to ensure the products manufactured meet the customer s requừements. Although there are numerous models of the design and manufacture cycle a number of common stages can be identified from each model. These stages are illustrated in Fig. which is in essence a blend of several of these models Hawkes and Abbinett 1984 Mair 1993 Chase et al. 1998 . Within this model marketing is responsible for the .
