The communication interface unit 104 has a function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the manufacturing management device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The various data stored in the memory unit 106 may be stored in the server 200, for example.

An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input/output interface unit 108. The output device 114 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that works with a mouse to provide a pointing device function. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as the keyboard 112 or the mouse 112.

The storage unit 106 stores various masters, databases, tables, data, files, and the like. The storage unit 106 records computer programs that work in cooperation with the OS (Operating System) to give instructions to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes. As the storage unit 106, for example, memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), fixed disk devices such as hard disks, flexible disks, and optical disks can be used.

The storage unit 106 stores, for example, a business partner master 106a, an item master 106b, an order category master 106c, a configuration master 106d, a process master 106e, an arrangement condition master 106f, an inventory management table 106g, an order data 106h, a production plan data 106i, a manufacturing instruction data 106j, and an arrangement instruction data 106k. The business partner master 106a, the item master 106b, the order category master 106c, a configuration master 106d, a process master 106e, an arrangement condition master 106f, an inventory management table 106g, an order data 106h, a production plan data 106i, a manufacturing instruction data 106j, and an arrangement instruction data 106k are databases and tables in which various information is registered. In this embodiment, the structures of the databases, tables, data, and files used in this embodiment are described in a simplified manner. The actual structures of these databases, tables, data, and files are more complex, but the parts not directly related to this invention are shown in a simplified form.

Figure 2A is a schematic diagram of an example of the data configuration of the supplier master 106a. The supplier master 106a is a database for managing information about suppliers who are the sources of product orders, i.e., the suppliers who place orders. In the supplier master 106a, for example, supplier CD (code) and supplier name are registered in advance in association with each other. The supplier CD is an example of supplier identification information.

Figure 2B is a schematic diagram of an example of the data configuration of item master 106b. Item master 106b is a database for managing information related to items. In this embodiment, an item represents an article such as a product or a part used in manufacturing the product. In item master 106b, an item CD, an item name, a specification, an item category, and an item category name are registered in advance in association with each other. The item CD is an example of identification information for items such as products and parts that are classified by item category names.

Figure 2C is a schematic diagram of an example of the data configuration of the order category master 106c. The order category master 106c is a database for managing order categories. In the order category master 106c, order categories and category names are associated and registered in advance. Information indicating, for example, unofficial notice or confirmation is registered in the category name. An unofficial notice indicates an order that is expected to be received from a business partner before an officially confirmed order is received. Confirmed indicates an order that has been confirmed. The order category is identification information for the category of the order specified by the corresponding category name.

Figure 2D is a schematic diagram of an example of the data structure of the configuration master 106d. The configuration master 106d is a database for managing, for each product, information about parts used in the manufacture of the product. In detail, the configuration master 106d is a database for managing the correspondence between products and parts used in the manufacture of the product. Specifically, for example, the configuration master 106d pre-registers an item CD, which is the product identification information, a product name, which is the name of the product, the product specifications, a part CD of a part corresponding to the product identified by the product identification information, the part name, and a required number, which is the number of parts required to manufacture the corresponding product, in association with each other. The part CD is an example of part identification information.

Figure 2E is a schematic diagram of an example of the data configuration of the routing master 106e. The routing master 106e is a database for managing information related to factories that are manufacturing bases where products are manufactured. In the routing master 106e, item CD, product name, routing, arrangement content, arrangement category, arrangement destination CD, and arrangement destination name are pre-registered in association with each other. The arrangement destination name indicates the name of the factory that is the manufacturing base of the product identified by the corresponding item CD. The arrangement destination CD is an example of factory identification information. As shown in Figure 2E, information related to the factory that manufactures each product is pre-registered in the routing master 106e.

Figure 2F is a schematic diagram of an example of the data configuration of the arrangement condition master 106f. The arrangement condition master 106f is a database for managing information related to the arrangement of parts. In detail, the arrangement condition master 106f is a database for managing the arrangement conditions of parts. Specifically, for example, the item CD, item name, arrangement content CD, arrangement content, arrangement category, arrangement destination CD, arrangement destination, and minimum order quantity are registered in advance in association with each other in the arrangement condition master 106f.

Figure 2G is a schematic diagram of an example of the data configuration of inventory management table 106g. Inventory management table 106g is a database for managing the number of parts in stock. The inventory management table 106g stores the total inventory of the entire company as of the end of the previous month. The total inventory of the entire company refers to the total inventory of all of the multiple factories that are the multiple manufacturing bases managed by the company that is contracted to manufacture the products.

For example, the inventory management table 106g registers an item CD, a product name, and a stock quantity in association with each other. The inventory management table 106g registers the actual latest stock quantity of parts based on operational instructions from the control unit 102 or a user.

Returning to FIG. 1, the explanation will continue. The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the manufacturing management device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS (operating system), programs that define various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processing operations based on these stored programs.

In this embodiment, the control unit 102 includes an import unit 102a, a display control unit 102b, a reception unit 102c, a generation unit 102f, and an update unit 102g. The reception unit 102c receives operation input by a user. The reception unit 102c includes a production plan quantity reception unit 102d and an additional input reception unit 102e.

The import unit 102a imports the order data 106h. Each time the control unit 102 receives order data related to a product order from a business partner via the network 300 or the like, it converts the received order data into order data 106h in a format that can be used by the manufacturing management device 100, and stores the data in the storage unit 106 in sequence. The import unit 102a checks the storage unit 106 at predetermined time intervals and imports the order data 106h to be processed. For example, the import unit 102a imports the order data 106h selected by a user's operation instruction on the input device 112. The import unit 102a may also import the order data 106h stored in the storage unit 106 that has not yet been processed for various processes described below.

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the order data 106h. The order data 106h is information related to orders for products manufactured at multiple factories. The order data 106h is a database that associates a supplier CD, an item CD, a product name, an order category, a category name, an instructed delivery date, and an order quantity. The instructed delivery date represents a delivery schedule for delivering a product identified by the corresponding item CD to a supplier identified by the corresponding supplier CD. The order quantity registered in the order data 106h is the number of product orders included in the order data received from a supplier. In other words, the order quantity represents the delivery instruction quantity, which is the number of deliveries to be made to the supplier.

Returning to FIG. 1, the explanation will be continued. The display control unit 102b performs display control to display various information on the monitor 114. In this embodiment, the display control unit 102b displays a plan input screen on the monitor 114 based on the order data 106h.

Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an example of the plan input screen 20. The plan input screen 20 is a display screen for accepting input of the production plan quantity for each schedule according to the order quantity of the product included in the order data 106h.

In detail, the plan input screen 20 displays the order quantity and inventory quantity for each product for each date.

For example, the display control unit 102b classifies the number of orders into unofficial numbers, which are the number of unofficial orders, and confirmed numbers, which are the number of confirmed orders, and displays the unofficial numbers and confirmed numbers for each schedule on the plan input screen 20. In detail, the display control unit 102b displays the number of orders corresponding to the category name "unofficial" included in the order data 106h in the corresponding schedule of the instructed delivery date and the corresponding "unofficial number" column on the plan input screen 20. In addition, the display control unit 102b displays the number of orders corresponding to the category name "confirmed" included in the order data 106h in the corresponding schedule of the instructed delivery date and the corresponding "confirmed number" column on the plan input screen 20.

For this reason, for example, the number of orders registered in the order data 106h shown in FIG. 3 is displayed in the corresponding schedule and corresponding order category fields included in the plan input screen 20 shown in FIG. 4. In this embodiment, a form in which the schedule is for each day, that is, a schedule for one day, is described as an example. Note that the schedule may also be divided into more detailed time and date units.

The plan input screen 20 includes an input field 20A for the planned production quantity for each product schedule. In other words, the display control unit 102b displays the planned production quantity for each product schedule so that it can be input by the user.

By operating the input device 112 while viewing the plan input screen 20, the user inputs the desired production plan quantity for the desired schedule of the desired product. For example, the user inputs the production plan quantity for each schedule so that the ordered quantity of products can be manufactured at least one business day before the designated delivery date corresponding to the ordered quantity of each product represented by the tentative quantity and the confirmed quantity. Note that if the schedule one business day before the business day is a holiday, the schedule can be adjusted to be the business day before the holiday.

The production plan quantity receiving unit 102d receives the production plan quantity input by the user through operation of the input device 112. That is, the production plan quantity receiving unit 102d receives input of the production plan quantity for each product schedule via the plan input screen 20.

The display control unit 102b displays the inventory quantity of each product at the end of the previous month in the inventory quantity column on the plan input screen 20. For example, the display control unit 102b reads the inventory quantity of each product for the entire company at the end of the previous month, which is the end of January, from the inventory management table 106g and the configuration master 106d. The display control unit 102b then displays the read inventory quantity of each product as the inventory quantity of the corresponding product at the end of the previous month on the plan input screen 20 (1/31 inventory quantity in Figure 4). The display control unit 102b then uses the following calculation formula (A) to calculate the inventory quantity for each date in February, which is an example of this month, and displays it on the plan input screen 20.

Inventory quantity for each date = inventory quantity from the previous day - (indicated quantity or confirmed quantity) + production plan quantity Formula (A)

The display control unit 102b calculates the inventory quantity each time a new production plan quantity is input in the production plan quantity input field 20A, and displays it on the plan input screen 20. In addition, the display control unit 102b recalculates the inventory quantity each time the production plan quantity displayed in the production plan quantity input field 20A is changed, and displays it on the plan input screen 20.

This allows users to input the planned production quantities for each schedule while checking the order quantities (tentative and confirmed quantities) and inventory quantities for each product ordered for production.

Returning to FIG. 1 for further explanation, the generation unit 102f generates arrangement instruction data 106k based on the production plan quantity for each schedule of the product received by the production plan quantity receiving unit 102d, the configuration master 106d, and the arrangement condition master 106f.

In detail, the generation unit 102f generates production plan data 106i based on the production plan quantity for each product schedule received by the production plan quantity reception unit 102d.

Figure 5A is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data configuration of production plan data 106i. Production plan data 106i is a database for managing production plans for each product. The data format of production plan data 106i is not limited to a database. In production plan data 106i, item CD, item name, production delivery date, and production quantity are registered in association with each other.

The generating unit 102f registers the production plan quantity for each schedule of the product input via the plan input screen 20 shown in FIG. 4 in the production plan data 106i as the production quantity for each production delivery date corresponding to each item CD and item name of the product. Therefore, for example, the generating unit 102f generates the production plan data 106i shown in FIG. 5A from the plan input screen 20 shown in FIG. 4.

Then, the generation unit 102f generates manufacturing instruction data 106j using the production plan data 106i and the process order master 106e.

Figure 5B is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data configuration of the manufacturing instruction data 106j. The manufacturing instruction data 106j is a database for managing data related to manufacturing instructions to each factory that is a manufacturing base. The data format of the manufacturing instruction data 106j is not limited to a database. In the manufacturing instruction data 106j, an item CD, an item name, a manufacturing delivery date, a manufacturing quantity, a supplier CD, a supplier name, and a procurement category are registered in association with each other.

The generating unit 102f registers the item CD, item name, production delivery date, and production quantity included in the production plan data 106i in the production instruction data 106j, associating them with each other as item CD, item name, production delivery date, and production quantity. The generating unit 102f also reads the supplier CD, supplier name, and procurement category corresponding to the item CD registered in the production instruction data 106j from the route master 106e (see FIG. 2E), and registers them in association with the production instruction data 106j. Through these processes, the generating unit 102f generates the production plan data 106i and the production instruction data 106j.

Furthermore, the generation unit 102f generates arrangement instruction data 106k based on the production plan quantity for each schedule of the product received by the production plan quantity receiving unit 102d, the configuration master 106d, and the arrangement condition master 106f.

Figure 5C is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the arrangement instruction data 106k. The arrangement instruction data 106k is a database for managing the number of parts to be arranged for each schedule used in the manufacture of a product. The data format of the arrangement instruction data 106k is not limited to a database. For example, the arrangement instruction data 106k is a database that associates a part CD, a part name, an arrangement delivery date, an arrangement quantity, an arrangement destination, an arrangement destination name, and an arrangement category.

The generating unit 102f identifies, as the arranged delivery date, a schedule that is at least one business day before the production delivery date included in the production plan data 106i generated based on the production plan quantity for each schedule of the product received by the production plan quantity receiving unit 102d. In this embodiment, the arranged delivery date is identified so that it is one business day before the production delivery date (i.e., one business day before). In addition, the generating unit 102f identifies, for each production delivery date included in the production plan data 106i, the part CD, part name, and required quantity of the part used to manufacture the product identified by the item CD corresponding to the production delivery date from the configuration master 106d.

Then, the generating unit 102f associates the dispatch delivery date identified from the manufacturing delivery date, the part CD and part name of the identified part used in the product corresponding to the manufacturing delivery date, and the dispatch quantity obtained by multiplying the manufacturing quantity of the product by the identified required quantity, and registers them in the dispatch instruction data 106k. The generating unit 102f also reads the dispatch destination, dispatch destination name, and dispatch category corresponding to the part CD from the dispatch condition master 106f, and registers them in the dispatch instruction data 106k in association with each other.

Through these processes, the generation unit 102f generates the arrangement instruction data 106k. For example, the arrangement instruction data 106k shown in FIG. 5C is generated.

In FIG. 5C, the order quantity "40" for each of the order delivery dates "February 8, 2021" and "February 22, 2021" is a value calculated because there are multiple types of products manufactured using parts identified by the corresponding parts CD, and a production quantity is set for each of the multiple types of products with the same manufacturing delivery date.

In detail, the production due date "February 9, 2021" of the production instruction data 106j shown in FIG. 5B, which is the basis for calculating the procurement due date "February 8, 2021" of part a of part CD "KK2013" by the generation unit 102f, has two types of product items CD "899THS003" and "899THS004" registered. As shown in the configuration master 106d in FIG. 2D, the production of the products of these two types of items CD "899THS003" and "899THS004" includes the same part a of part CD "KK2013" with a required quantity of "1". Therefore, through the above calculation by the generating unit 102f, the order quantity for the order delivery date "February 8, 2021" is calculated as "40", which is the sum of the production quantity "20" of the product of the item CD "899THS003" corresponding to the manufacturing delivery date "February 9, 2021" and the production quantity "20" of the product of the item CD "899THS004" corresponding to the manufacturing delivery date "February 9, 2021". The generating unit 102f calculates the order quantity for each of the other order delivery dates in the same manner, thereby generating the order instruction data 106k shown in FIG. 5C.

Returning to FIG. 1 for further explanation, the display control unit 102b displays on the monitor 114 an inquiry screen showing the number of parts to be ordered for each schedule, based on the generated ordering instruction data 106k.

Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of an example of the inquiry screen 30. The inquiry screen 30 is a display screen that shows the number of parts to be procured for each schedule.

In detail, the inquiry screen 30 displays the number of parts shipped, ordered, and in stock for each schedule for each part used in manufacturing the ordered product.

For example, the display control unit 102b identifies the number of products to be manufactured for each manufacturing delivery date included in the manufacturing instruction data 106j (see FIG. 5B) generated based on the number of products to be manufactured for each schedule received by the manufacturing plan number receiving unit 102d. The display control unit 102b also identifies the part CD, part name, and required number of parts used to manufacture the product identified by the item CD corresponding to the manufacturing delivery date included in the manufacturing instruction data 106j from the configuration master 106d. The display control unit 102b then sets the identified manufacturing delivery date as the schedule, and calculates the value obtained by multiplying the number of products to be manufactured for the manufacturing delivery date by the required number of parts to be used to manufacture the product as the number of parts to be shipped for the schedule. The display control unit 102b then displays the calculated number of parts to be shipped for each schedule on the inquiry screen 30 for each part. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 6, the number of parts to be shipped for each manufacturing delivery date included in the manufacturing instruction data 106j is displayed in the shipping number column for each part as the number of parts to be shipped for each schedule corresponding to the manufacturing delivery date.

The display control unit 102b also reads the number of orders for each part CD included in the ordering instruction data 106k (see FIG. 5C), sets the order delivery date as a schedule, and displays the read order number on the inquiry screen 30. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, in the order number column for each part, the number of orders for each order delivery date included in 10K is displayed as the number of orders for each schedule corresponding to the order delivery date.

The display control unit 102b also displays the inventory quantity of each part at the end of the previous month in the inventory quantity column on the inquiry screen 30. For example, the control unit 102 manages the inventory quantities of parts in the same way as products. The display control unit 102b then displays the inventory quantity of each part being managed at the end of the previous month as the inventory quantity of the corresponding part at the end of the previous month on the inquiry screen 30 (1/31 of the inventory quantity in FIG. 6). The display control unit 102b then uses the above calculation formula (A) to calculate the inventory quantity for each date in February, which is an example of this month, and displays it on the inquiry screen 30.

The display control unit 102b displays a display field 30A for the number of parts to be ordered for each schedule included in the inquiry screen 30 so that the user can enter the number.

The user operates the input device 112 while viewing the inquiry screen 30 to additionally input the desired order quantity for the desired schedule of the desired part. Figure 6 shows an example of a scene in which the inventory quantity "30" for the schedule "2/11" of part a has been additionally input.

The user may also change the order quantity displayed on the desired schedule for the desired part by operating the input device 112 while viewing the inquiry screen 30.

In this case, the display control unit 102b recalculates the inventory quantity each time a new order quantity is added or a change is made to the order quantity display field 30A, and displays it on the inquiry screen 30.

When the additional input receiving unit 102e receives additional input of the number of arrangements in response to a user's operation instruction on the input device 112, the update unit 102g updates the arrangement instruction data 106k based on the additionally input number of arrangements. Similarly, when the additional input receiving unit 102e receives a change in the number of arrangements in response to a user's operation instruction on the input device 112, the update unit 102g updates the arrangement instruction data 106k based on the changed number of arrangements.

Figure 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the updated arrangement instruction data 106k. For example, assume that an order quantity of "30" for part a on schedule "2/11" is additionally input via the inquiry screen 30 shown in Figure 6, which is displayed based on the arrangement instruction data 106k shown in Figure 5C (see display field 30A1 in Figure 6). In this case, the update unit 102g sets the schedule "2/11" as the order delivery date, and registers the order delivery date, order quantity, part CD, part name, delivery destination, delivery destination name, and order classification in the arrangement instruction data 106k in association with each other. Therefore, the process by the update unit 102g allows the arrangement instruction data 106k shown in Figure 5C to be easily updated in response to the user's additional input or change in the order quantity (see Figure 7).

Next, an example of the flow of information processing performed by the manufacturing management device 100 of this embodiment will be described.

Figure 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of information processing performed by the manufacturing management device 100 of this embodiment.

The import unit 102a imports the order data 106h (step S100). The display control unit 102b displays the plan input screen 20 on the monitor 114 based on the order data 106h imported in step S100 (step S102).

The user operates the input device 112 while viewing the plan input screen 20 to input the desired production plan quantity for the desired schedule of the desired product.
