This process planning system employs a distributed plan ning architecture. Traditionally the planning of bending sequences and the selection of bending punches are undertaken by a sheet metal process planner who based on his or her own experience repeatedly tests and verifies each bending sequence operation with the required bending punch for each operation in order to determine the usable bending punches.
