This paper present ProPlanner, a hybrid computer aided process planning (CAPP) system designed to facilitate concurrent product development. ProPlanner automates information acquisition, product design interpretation, manufacturing operation planning, cutting tool selection, set-up planning and operation sequencing. The system employs a hybrid approach utilizing a combination of rule-based reasoning and object-oriented programming. It enables the early detection of design errors during the design stage before manufacturing and incorporates a feedback mechanism for correcting errors and giving suggestions to modify the product design.
