In a strict theoretical perspective, a report generation module in a CAPP system should be capable of<br />

providing the process plans in one or all of the above formats. This becomes possible only when the<br />

basic process plan information is represented in a structured format. In this context, the role of PPIR<br />

and Report-GIFTS in the proposed system can be appreciated.<br />

It is to be noted that PPIR alone cannot provide all the details that should appear on the process<br />

planning sheets. This is because some fields in PPIR are pointed to other models of GIFTS. These pointers,<br />

adopted from the concept of relational data base managements systems (RDBMS), can be thought of as<br />

the mechanisms providing meaningful relationships among models. For ex<strong>amp</strong>le, using the machine<br />

code and tool code (which are stored in PPIR) as the pointers, the machine tool and cutting tool details<br />

can be obtained from the data bases (MRIR). Similarly, the part name, drawing number, batch size, etc.<br />

are available as global data in PDIR.<br />

In the current implementation of the system, several macros are developed in Report-GIFTS for<br />

automatic translation of PPIR details to predetermined textual formats. Once translated, these are stored<br />

in a text file. This file consists of the process planning details (description of setup, machine, and<br />

operations, tools to be used, and the process parameters) in a comprehensible form. This file can be<br />

retrieved into any word processor for editing the plan if desired and to take the printout of the process<br />

plan. Graphical simulation of the plans is also attempted by representing the tool shapes symbolically,<br />

the details of which can be found in the next chapter. The process (PPER) generated by Report-GIFTS<br />

for the ex<strong>amp</strong>le part shown in Figure 5.18 is given in Table 5.7.<br />
