With diverse needs of customers, high-mix low-volume products are manufactured more and more. Man-hour required for preparation of such production is increasing accordingly. Design data are electronically processed; however, those data are not effectively applied to actual production. In this project, we developed a database which centrally controls production data such as production process data and a system which automatically creates required NC (Numeric Control) program from CAD (Computer Aided Design) and BOM (Bill of Materials) data in order to significantly reduce man-hour required for production preparation.
