Vale, "Process planning using a genetic algorithm approach," Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Symposium on Assembly and Task Planning (ISATP'99) (Cat. No.99TH8470), Porto, Portugal, 1999, pp. 338-343, doi: 10.1109/ISATP.1999.782981.0-7803-5104-3http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/31970This paper presents a system for computer aided process planning (CAPP), using a precedence graph representation of the operations and their restrictions. Description of machine and tool selection is described, as well as the operation sequencing. A genetic algorithm is used to generate the sequence of operations and to select the machine and tools that minimize some criteria (machining time).engProcess planningGenetic algorithmsComputer aided manufacturingMachiningManufacturing processesconference object10.1109/ISATP.1999.782981
