Develop a process plan for a part requiring milling, drilling, turning, and/or grinding.

Development should include

  • formulating a set of strategies to manufacture the part
  • filling out an operation sheet reflecting the chosen strategies
  • including the required speeds and feeds and explaining each of the steps in the process plan
  • identifying all major components and functions of the machine tools, all major hand tools, measuring tools, fixtures, and work materials
  • providing the rationale for the speeds and feeds selected.

Process/Skill Questions

  • Why is it important to follow a process plan?
  • What are some possible consequences of not following a process plan?
