Design of Computer Aided Process Planning System for Holster Mold at PT. Carnegie Universal Industries

Abstract

PT. Carnegie Universal Industries manufactures holster products and magazine carrier. Holsters have the most variants and the highest demand. To produce a holster, a mold is needed for each type of handgun. A mold uses wooden mold and blue gun. Mold making takes the longest time compared to other stages in the holster production process. The mold making process does not yet have standards, therefore it takes a long time and high cost. The purpose of this study is to develop a process planning to facilitate the making of molds with automated systems using the Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) method, speed up production time, and reduce production costs. The CAPP generative approach is generated through decision logic, formulation, search, algorithm and geometric based data. Database programs are created to store detailed information on each print that has been created. This approach design proved that the mold making procedures are simplified and speeded up and have standards, so that the time and costs are used more effectively and efficiently.
