Process Designer

Problem

Process plans often stall when drawing details, production constraints, and equipment realities are scattered across files, chat threads, and tacit operator experience. This skill takes mechanical drawings, circuit drawings, or part descriptions as input, parses the sheet, asks targeted questions, and produces an executable Word process plan instead of a rough sequence of operations.

How It Works

• Drawing parsing: Reads title blocks, views, sections, enlarged details, dimensions, tolerances, and technical requirements, using different paths for mechanical and circuit drawings.
• Targeted questions: Asks 3–5 constraints that cannot be inferred from the sheet, such as annual volume, available equipment, and whether critical tolerances can be held consistently.
• Structured lookup: Uses the 6D Filtering Engine to build queries across technical domain, document category, object type, material/process, metrics, and task stage for tolerances, cutting parameters, and standards.
• Document generation: Outputs a .docx containing a process flow diagram, operation plan, equipment and tooling, three-level inspection, labor time, risk notes, and DOE suggestions for critical processes.

Limits

This skill is best suited for drafting machining, assembly, welded-structure, and PCB assembly process plans. Ambiguous drawings, unclear detail-view relationships, or missing material and heat-treatment requirements require user confirmation. Scans or CAD files may rely on OCR or CAD viewer support. It produces engineering documentation and parameter guidance, not a substitute for formal process review, equipment validation, or quality-system approval.
