<br/><br/> This study pertains to the development of a microcomputer-based process  planning system. Based on heuristic rules and metal-working process rules  in mechanics, and using t he rule-based knowledge system as a software  control tool , a metalwork rule-based process planning system is designed and  implemented .  For setting up more efficient system, the micro-PROLOG language is used . The whole system is derived by a menu from which the user can choose the  necessary modules to execute. Each module comprises of major activity in  the process planning. Finally, a report-formatted display can be produced on  the screen .  The system performance is demonstrated in several ways, such as, user's  first impression, comparing the output results with traditional manual  process planning list, and system comparison with similar microcomputer-based  CAPP system.
