Preface

Manufacturing is the oldest process responsible for producing various types of products involving all spheres of human civilization. With the growing demand for variety in products, customization and quality, the need arises to explore innovative ways to meet these challenges. Process planning/setup planning plays a key role in manufacturing process and it essentially paves the way from design phase to manufacturing phase. It bridges the functional gap between design and manufacturing. Process planning and setup planning methods are vital for the functionality, efficiency, cost, and quality of a finished product. It has been an active research area in the last three decades and widely investigated by various researchers. The scope of this book is limited to setup planning in machining context. Setup planning is an intermediate phase of process planning and it is essentially the core of a process planning system. Setup planning includes determ
