In order to solve the management problems such as low efficiency of process planning

lack of process design verification

poor production and configuration management

a digital process planning and manufacturing management system was established based on analyzing the current situation of aircraft wire harness factory. In this system

process design

production visualization

configuration management for wire harness are realized. Computer aided support was realized by using information technology to provide rule checking and planning suggestion for process design. The ability of process planning and manufacturing management has been improved efficiently

and the configuration management has been strengthened by the help of the system. Finally

the practicability of the system is illustrated by an example.
