Managing process groups
A process group is a set of processes that are of the same manufacturing type. For example, the Sheet Metal process group includes processes such as Laser Cut, Bend Brake, and Shear processes, while the Casting process group includes Die Cast and Sand Cast processes. Components may often be completely manufactured using processes in a single process group. Other times, a part or assembly requires multiple process groups, such as Casting, Machining, and Finishing.
The Deployment Data Administration tool allows you to select the default VPE for each process group.
