KW  - OBJECT-ORIENTED DATA MODEL
N1  - The issues involved in forming proper knowledge representation for process planning are discussed. Following a brief review of knowledge representation schemes used in existing reported CAPP systems, the process planning function and its required knowledge are described. Then an object-oriented knowledge representation scheme is presented that allows both upstream and downstream integration of CAPP and makes it easily adaptable for interfacing with other computer integrated manufacturing CIM modules
