Introduction of Computer Aided Process Planning

The document discusses production management and computer aided process planning. It defines production as converting materials into useful products for users through processes. Production management deals with decision making related to production processes so that goods or services are produced according to specifications, amounts, and schedules with minimum cost. Computer aided process planning uses computers to facilitate planning and management of the production process from beginning to end.
