GONZALEZ, F.; GUTIERREZ, S.C.  y  MESEGUER, A.. General and Flexible Methodology and Architecture for Computer-Aided Process Planning. Inf. tecnol. [online]. 2004, vol.15, n.4, pp. 3-8. ISSN 0718-0764.  doi: 10.4067/S0718-07642004000400001.

The present study proposes a methodology and architecture appropriate for the generation of flexible systems for computer-aided process planning systems (CAPP) for mechanized parts. The method proposed gives importance to the following factors: system architecture, planning methodology, and information modules used for storage of data and knowledge. The results have been applied to the GF-CAPP system. It is concluded that the development of the GF-CAPP prototype, based on the present proposal and applied over a great variety of parts and production media, has proven to be viable and to have useful characteristics
