Introduce students with the definition, importance, goals and function of process planning (PP). 2. Indicate and introduce selection method of the primary process selection, selection of operations and operation sequencing, machine tools and tools machine selection. 3. Explain the assessment of time and material norm, production (process) time calculation, cost estimation.

Student responsibilities:
