Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically prepare a part list stating an equivalent part by providing a memory part storing the data of individual part packaged in a device, a memory part storing the library information of equivalent parts capable of alternative use for a part and an output part outputting a part list from the information of the equivalent part selected with a selection reference. CONSTITUTION:A retrieval part 3 retrieving the device packaged part stored in a part data memory part 1 is provided inside an equivalent part data memory 2. The selection reference of the equivalent part to be output to a part list from the equivalent part data obtd. by the retrieval of this retrieval part 3 is instructed by an equivalent part selection instruction part 4. Based on this selection reference the equivalent part capable of alternate use for a part is selected. From the information of this selected equivalent part, the part list stating the equivalent part by the output part 4 is prepared automatically and simply.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a parts list creation system, and more particularly to a parts list creation system used in a computer-based production management system for electrical, mechanical, and other devices.

(Conventional technology) Conventionally, the management of equipment-mounted parts in a production management system is actually implemented at the manufacturing and assembly stage of the equipment, taking into account the situation such as surplus and shortage of parts, standards, equipment delivery destination, etc. A bill of materials limited to parts from a specified manufacturer was created manually or by computer output.

(Problem B to be solved by the invention) Creation of a parts list using the conventional system described above is highly dependent on the parts used and the circumstances of the equipment delivery destination, and also requires manual creation, which has the following drawbacks: there were.

(1) Since external conditions such as surplus and shortage of parts used and equipment delivery destinations change, it is difficult to create an appropriate parts list with a view to the future.

(2) Creating a parts list requires a considerable amount of manual labor and time.

(3) Repairing and managing the parts list is troublesome, and quality deterioration is likely to occur.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A parts list creation system according to the present invention includes a parts data storage unit that stores data on parts to be mounted on a device, and a plurality of equivalent parts that can be used as substitutes for the parts. an equivalent parts data storage unit that stores library information; an equivalent parts data search unit that searches the equivalent parts data storage unit for the parts stored in the parts data storage unit; an equivalent parts selection instruction unit that instructs selection criteria for equivalent parts to be output to a parts list from the equivalent parts data that has been selected; an equivalent parts data selection unit that selects equivalent parts based on the selection criteria; and an equivalent parts list data output unit that outputs a parts list from parts information, and creates a parts list including equivalent parts that can be used as substitutes for individual parts mounted on the device.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a parts list creation system according to the present invention.

This system includes a parts data storage unit 1 that stores part data such as part numbers and names, and parts information such as manufacturer product names, manufacturer names, standards, prices, etc. related to parts (equivalent parts) that can be used as substitutes for each part. An equivalent parts data storage section 2 that stores information, an equivalent parts data search section 3 that searches the equivalent parts data storage section 2 for the parts stored in the parts data storage section 1, and an equivalent parts data storage section 3 that searches the equivalent parts data storage section 2 for the parts stored in the parts data storage section 1; It is comprised of an equivalent parts selection instructing unit 4 that instructs the selection criteria of the corresponding parts, an equivalent parts selection unit 5 that selects the equivalent parts, and an equivalent parts list data output unit 6 that outputs the parts list.

Next, we will explain the operation of this system by manually inputting the component data stored in the six component data storage sections 1 one after another, and checking whether the component name input by the equivalent component data search section 3 exists in the equivalent component data storage section 2. Find out. If the component name exists, the equivalent component selection instruction section 4 instructs selection criteria for selecting which component from among the plurality of pieces of corresponding equivalent component information and outputting it to the parts list. Examples of this selection criteria include, for example, outputting all multiple equivalent parts to a parts list, or specifying the parts manufacturer's name, standard, etc. in order to select and display only parts of a specific manufacturer or standard. Then, according to this selection criterion, the equivalent parts data selection unit 5 selects the corresponding equivalent part, and passes the selected parts information to the equivalent parts list data output unit 6.
The equivalent parts list data output unit 6 outputs the parts list data based on the information of the selected equivalent parts, or outputs the parts list data to the material management or production management system. This is executed for all parts stored in the data storage unit 1.

In FIG. 2, a 0-component data table 7 in which component data strings stored in the component data storage section 1 are shown includes a component number 8 and a component name 9 for each component mounted on the device. It consists of paired information.

FIG. 3 shows an example of library data of equivalent parts stored in the equivalent parts data storage section 2. The equivalent parts library data table 1° uses the part name 11 to be searched by the equivalent parts data search unit 3 as a key, and stores the manufacturer product names 12 for a plurality of equivalent parts of the part.
, manufacturer name 13, standard 14, price 15, etc. In this example, for the part name 11a, the manufacturer product names 12a+, 12a*, and 12as of the corresponding parts are stored. Furthermore, manufacturer product name 12, manufacturer name 13,
Of course, it is also possible to easily set Standard 14 etc. as a key for data retrieval.

FIG. 4 shows an example of parts list output data from the corresponding parts data output unit 6. Equivalent parts list data table 16
In the unit of part name 9, starting with part number n17, which is a collection of part numbers 8 with the same part name mounted on the device, the number of used parts with the same part name is 18, and the manufacturer product names of multiple equivalent parts of the part. 19, Manufacturer name 20, Standard 21, Price 22
It consists of information such as.

Using the above-mentioned parts data table, equivalent parts library data, etc., the equivalent parts data output section 6 obtains parts list output data as shown in FIG.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention can automatically and easily create a parts list listing equivalent parts that can be used as substitutes for individual parts mounted on a device. Not only is it possible to create a parts list in a short time without depending on external circumstances such as surplus or shortage of equipment or the delivery destination of the equipment, but also it is possible to create a parts list in a short time without depending on external circumstances such as excess or shortage of parts or the delivery destination of the equipment. It becomes possible to select the parts that will actually be used. Furthermore, it has the effect of reducing the man-hours required for creating a bill of materials and improving quality.
