Process Planning, CAPP, GT & Tolerancing in Manufacturing
Q1. Place of Process Planning in the Manufacturing Cycle
Process planning plays a vital role in the manufacturing cycle by acting as a bridge between product design and actual production.

The manufacturing cycle starts with product design, followed by process planning, production planning, manufacturing, inspection, and
Accounting Principles for PPE and Intangible Assets
Selling PPE and Recording Gains or Losses
Key Ideas: Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) is carried on the balance sheet at cost minus accumulated depreciation, which equals the book value (carrying value). When you sell an asset, you must:
- Remove the asset’s cost.
