The approaches to preproduction planning, notably developing CNC programmes, are presented in this article. The specifics of that particular work are that it takes place within the information and technology medium (technologist + PLM/CAD/CAE/CAPP/CAM-systems + local network + control equipment + CNC equipment), and is based considerably upon accumulated knowledge.
Keywords: CNC equipment, PLM/CAD/CAE/CAPP/CAM-systems, CNC programmes, information technological environment.
