Abstract
In a job-shop manufacturing environment where small lot sizes and high product variety dictate the need for fast planning, a CAPP system is needed that offers alternatives in real-time. This paper presents an approach to tool selection that has the ability to generate and rank tooling alternatives for a plan. This system is designed for use as part of the dynamic process planning system, PARIS. The system makes use of object-oriented design and programming in its implementation and extracts the needed data from a product model based on the ISO STEP application protocol, AP224. To illustrate the approach an example is provided.
