Background of the invention: According to this highly competitive industrial society, the ability to adjust the capacity of a factory is an important factor that determines its success. When the industry's economy is weak, the expansion of production capacity should be slowed down to avoid losses caused by idle machines; however, when the economy improves, the demand for products usually increases rapidly, and the factory's production capacity needs to be rapidly expanded. However, most machine manufacturers use the order-to-order production method. The delivery time of the machine (the time required for the factory to place a machine order and the manufacturer to deliver it) usually ranges from 4 months to 6 months. Large-scale machines for semiconductor factories It may even reach more than 8 months. Therefore, the expansion of the factory equipment could not keep up with the rapid increase in product demand, which easily caused the factory to take many orders but was unable to produce, which substantially reduced the grasp of business opportunities and caused the company to suffer considerable losses. Therefore, for a factory, how to establish a good machine forecasting system, which can know the machine's needs and issue orders by the 'purchasing department' within a few months before the machine is needed, has become a very important subject. .
