CAD/CAM-Assisted Part Programming- (programming)
Previous
definition: The
use of CAD/CAM takes computer-assisted part programming a step further by using a computer
graphics system (CAD/CAM system) to interact with the programmer as the part
program is being prepared. In the conventional use of APT, a complete program
is written and then entered into the computer for processing. Many programming errors are
not detected until computer processing.
When a CAD/CAM system is used, the programmer receives immediate visual verification when each statement is entered, to determine whether
the statement is correct.
When part geometry is entered by the programmer, the element is graphically displayed
on the monitor. When the tool path is constructed, the programmer can see exactly how the motion commands
will move the tool relative to the part. Errors can be corrected
immediately rather than after the entire program has been written.
(Mikell P. Groover,Fundamentals of Modern
Manufacturing,4th Edition,pg.906)
New-better:
CAD
systems are used to build the geometry of the part. Once the component has been
geometrically defined, the CAM software allows the user to pick tools, select
machine speeds, and other parameters. The software then allows the user to
specify the direction of the cut. Once this is done, the CAM software directly
generates the toolpath data as per the instructions.
Higher
level systems use Solid Models for tool path generations. In this case, the
tool paths are automatically linked with the part database. Thus, if there is a
geometrical change, the tool path data would also be automatically updated. These
systems are highly suitable for industries involved in producing complex
components.

Operator Personnel Cost-(Accounting)
Previous
definition: This cost covers all
costs associated with the operation and maintenance support of the system
throughout its product life cycle subsequent to equipment delivery in the
field. Specific categories cover the cost of system operation, maintenance,
sustaining logistic support, equipment modifications, and system/equipment
phaseout and disposal. Costs are generally determined for each year throughout
life cycle. The operations and maintenance is
Co=(Coo+Com+Con+Cop)
where
Coo - cost of system/equipment life cycle operations
where
Coo - cost of system/equipment life cycle operations
Com = cost of system/equipment life cycle
maintenance
Con = cost of system/equipment modifications
Cop = cost of system/equipment phase-out and
disposal

Information-Based Approach, Emad Abouel Nasr,. Ali K. Kamrani ,p 39)
New-better:
Operator
personel cost (Coop); this cost covers the costs of operating personel
as allocated to the system. A single operator may operate more than one system,
but costs should be allocated on an individual system basis. Such costs include
base pay or salary and allowances, fringe benefits, travel, clothing
allowances, etc. The operating personel cost is
Coop
= [(T0)(Cpo)(Qpo)(Npo) *
(%allocation)]
Where
T0 = hours of system operation
Cpo=
cost of operator labor
Qpo=
quantity of operators/system
Npo=
number of operating systems
(Computer-Based Design and Manufacturing An
Information-Based Approach, Emad Abouel Nasr,. Ali K. Kamrani ,p 40)-previous
definition is about the cost of operation.
