Here is an example of a Process Product Resources (PPR)
specification tree for Advanced Machining.
|
 |
Process List is a plan that gives all the activities and machining
operations required to transform a part from a rough to a finished state.
- Part Operation defines the manufacturing resources and the
reference data.
|
- Manufacturing Program is the list of all of the operations
and tool changes performed. The example above shows that:
- Drilling.1 is complete and has not been computed
- Drilling.2 is complete but has been computed (by means of a
replay)
- Drilling.3 does not have all of the necessary data (indicated
by the exclamation mark symbol)
- Drilling.4 has been deactivated by the user (indicated by the
brackets symbol)
- Drilling.5 has been modified and needs to be recomputed
(indicated by the update symbol).

Product List gives all of the parts to machine as well as CATPart
documents containing complementary geometry. |

Resources List gives all of the resources such as machine or tools
that can be used in the program. |
