Computer Aided Process Planning CAPP is a highly effective technology for discrete manufacturers with a significant number of products and process steps. Rapid strides are being made to develop generative planning capabilities and incorporate CAPP into a computer-integrated manufacturing architecture. The first step is the implementation of Group Technology (GT) or Features Technology (FT)classification and coding. Commercially-available software tools currently exist to support both GT and CAPP. As a result, many companies can achieve the benefits of GT and CAPP with minimal cost and risk. Effective use of these tools can improve a manufacturer's competitive advantage.
