ISO 10303-240:2005 specifies the use of the integrated resources necessary for the scope and information requirements for the exchange, sharing and long term data retention of computer-interpretable process plan information for both numerical control (NC) and manually operated applications and associated product definition data. The following are within the scope of ISO 10303-240:2005:

• information out of the planning activity that is contained in the process plans for machined parts which includes:
  • numerical controlled machines;
  • manual operations.
• the manufacture of a single piece mechanical part, and assemblies of single piece parts for manufacturing purpose which includes:
  • process data for part routing which includes manufacturing process and setup sequencing;
  • process data for operation.
• interface for capturing technical data out of the upstream application protocols which includes:
  • product definition data, including tracking a design exception notice of a part;
  • initial material definition data.
• technical data for and/or out of the process planning for machined pats which includes:
  • machining features for defining shapes necessary for manufacturing;
  • machining feature classification structure;
  • geometric and dimensional tolerances of the parts being manufactured;
  • materials, and properties of the parts being manufactured.
  • references to standards and specifications declared in the process plan;
• work instructions for the tasks required to manufacture a part, using which include:
  • references to the resources required to perform the work;
  • the sequences of the work instructions;
  • relationships of the work to the part geometry.
  • information required to support NC programming of processes specified in the process plan;
  • shop floor information specified in the process plan;
  • information for production planning specified in the process plan;
