Code Contents

When using a code to represent an engineering design, this is significant that it represents the basic features of the design such as, size, tolerance, shape, critical dimensions, material, and so forth. For process planning, this is desired to have codes that might distinguish unique production families. Since a coding system transforms the properties & requirements of a design into a code, the aforementioned information's must be provided to the process planning system.

The length of a part code dictates the detail that is captured by the code. Generally, the longer the code, the more detail that might be extracted. However, length & details of the code based on the specific application, in industrial utilization for product mix.
