This was the first telecon for the new Joint Working Group of Digital 
Manufacturing (JWG15). The attached presentation summarizes the role and 
purposes of the new group.

We reviewed the following template for the technical reports that will 
be issued by the new Working Group.

The goal of the reports shall be to explain how the manufacturing 
industry can use STEP to define information for activities such as 
tooling optimization and advanced product quality planning (APQP). The 
first template will explain how to define the kinematics of a machine 
tool (see action items).

We discussed the interface between STEP and MTConnect. An issue raised 
by Okuma was forwarded to System Insights for resolution.

A recording of this conference calls is on the web site at the address
