Process Planning
Process planning is the set of product development activities that determines how
a part will be manufactured given product and production specifications.

Some Operational-Level Models
For straight turning operations…
• Cutting energy (kWh)
– Cutting force
– Machining time
• Coolant lost from machined part (gals)
– Density of cutting fluid
– Surface tension of cutting fluid
– Cross-sectional area of workpiece
• Oil mist generated from straight turning (mg/m3)

Summary Main Points
• Showed how to estimate environmental
loads of straight turning operation
• Similar approach should be applicable to
other manufacturing processes (e.g.,
milling, cleaning, etc.)
• By estimating environmental loads &
impacts a process engineer can
(quantitatively) tradeoff cost, quality and
productivity objectives and make better
process planning decisions
