As the numerical data 34, data of completion 35 as drawing completion, a delay 37 displayed corresponding to a delay date and time from the scheduled date, a total number of drawings 38 for each model name 31 and the like are displayed. Progress 32 for each model name 31
Are displayed by the graph 33, so that they can be easily compared with each other. In addition, since the numerical data 34 of the delay 37 is displayed by dividing the number of delay days,
The degree of delay can also be ascertained.

The progress status screen 4 for each drawing shown in FIG.
In the case of 0, each stage of the drawing design process is divided into design, drafting, inspection, and approval for each drawing type name 41 as a task. Design and drafting each take a relatively long time, so they are divided into start and completion. Verification work such as inspection and approval is a check by an administrator or supervisor, and can be performed immediately from start to completion. Therefore, start and completion such as design and drafting are not separated. As the specific schedule 43, the schedule 44 and the actual schedule 45 are displayed with reference to the release schedule actual file 25 in FIG. In the progress status screen 40 for each drawing, a column for the number of days until the deadline 46 is provided in the schedule 43. The number of days 46 before the deadline is based on the date on which the progress status screen 40 for each drawing is displayed and based on the scheduled schedule 44 for uncompleted drawings or drawings with an unknown actual schedule 45. The number of days to do is indicated. The minus sign is attached to the days data, for example, as of December 5, 1

FIG. 5 shows the basic concept of the release schedule 60 created by the release schedule creation shown in step s3 of FIG. The release schedule 60 is set based on the schedule data 21 of FIG. 3, and is set so that parts necessary for assembling the product can be procured by the part collection date in the schedule data 21. As the release schedule 60, a release step 61 and a parts procurement period 62 are determined for each component. The drawing process 61
It can be divided into design completion, drafting completion, inspection, and approval. The minimum number of days required at each stage is predetermined. The parts procurement period 62 is set according to the parts procurement standard master 22 shown in FIG. For example, when a die-cast product is a part to be procured, 40 days are required after the drawing is presented to the manufacturer of the die-cast product. In the case of a single-sided printer wiring board, the parts procurement period is 20
Need a day. Release process 61 and parts procurement period 62
Can be automatically determined in this way,
Release schedule 60 based on the parts collection date as shown in FIG.
Can also be set automatically.

A release schedule 60 as shown in FIG. 5 indicates a time limit for procuring necessary components by the component consolidation date.
If each set process is completed by the respective deadlines defined in the drawing process 61, parts procurement can be performed within the deadlines, so that the drawing deadlines that are consistent with the production plan are efficiently managed. be able to.

FIG. 6 shows a configuration for retrieving a change target at the time of setting change shown in step s10 in FIG. When change target part number data 70 is input from a certain design department, the spread search means 71 creates a change target part number drawing list 72 with reference to the product configuration data 23. The product configuration data 23 shows, for each product, the configuration of parts in a hierarchical structure such as an assembly drawing in a final assembly state, a subassembly drawing as an assembly drawing in an intermediate stage, and a part drawing constituting each subassembly. ing. According to this hierarchical structure, a drawing related to the change of the part is retrieved for one product, and the design department related to the drawing is notified of the change target part number drawing list 72. When the change target part number data 70 corresponds to a part commonly used by a plurality of products, a change target part number drawing list 72 is generated for each product.

FIG. 7 shows the operation of the propagation search means 71 of FIG. Based on the product number data 70 to be changed, a ripple analysis function based on the product configuration data 23 having a tree structure,
The change target drawings are extracted at once, and the change notice 73 is automatically generated. The change notification 73 includes a change purpose 74 and a change target drawing list 75. In the list of drawings to be changed 75,
Release status such as release schedule is displayed in real time.
Since the change notification 73 is issued before the actual drawing is completed,
In the related department, preparation can be started before the drawing is actually finished, and the time required for the entire process can be reduced.

FIG. 8 shows the basic concept of deciding the distribution destination of the drawing in step s7 of FIG. 2 and issuing an issuance notice. The distribution master 80, the production place list 81 and the drawing data list 8
2 are formed. The distribution master 80 includes a design department,
A distribution destination is designated according to the type of technical information such as a drawing and a specification, such as a purchasing department or a sales department. The production location list 81 includes data such as the distribution of production locations according to the type of product. In the drawing data list 82,
For each product, a list of drawing data for intermediate sub-assemblies and components from the final assembly is stored as hierarchically structured data. Distribution destination determination means 8
3 determines the distribution destination to which each drawing is to be distributed with reference to the distribution master 80, the production location list 81, and the drawing data list 82, and stores the distribution destination list 84 for each drawing in the storage device 5, 12 in FIG. Formed. The issuance notification unit 85 issues an issuance notification to each distribution destination according to the distribution destination list 84 for each drawing.

FIG. 9 shows an example of an issuance drawing list issued by the issuance notifying means 85 of FIG. Such a list of issued drawings is distributed as an e-mail to the same factory or to other factories including overseas. The drawings listed in the issued drawing list are narrowed down by product type and production location, and are only those related to the notification destination. On the side receiving the notification, the drawing itself can be read out on the display screen at any time based on the drawing number or the like with reference to the issued drawing list, and can be further printed out. In particular, the publishing drawing list 90 is created as a so-called hypertext format HTML document, and by clicking a drawing number or the like, operability is improved by using a Web format that links to actual drawing data. An input error such as a drawing number can be prevented.

By constructing the drawing issuing system as described above, the drawing distribution can be made online, and the trouble of actually printing, copying, storing and distributing the drawing can be saved. Also, distributing all the drawings to the related departments requires a large amount of cost and preparation, and it takes time for each department to select necessary drawings. When distributing only the necessary drawings for each distribution department, it takes time and effort on the issuer of the drawings, and due to an error in distribution, the required drawings may be insufficient or extra drawings may be distributed. Sometimes. In the present embodiment, the drawings are not directly distributed to the distribution destinations, but only the issuance notice of the drawings that may be required is distributed. Therefore, each distribution destination can refer to and use only the necessary drawings.

In the embodiment described above, the technical information is mainly described with reference to the drawings. However, technical documents such as various specifications and instruction manuals, and plans for the manufacturing process and inspection are also handled in the same manner. be able to. In addition, the present invention is not limited to mass production, and the present invention can be similarly applied to a prototype stage prior to mass production. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to mass-produced products but also to individual product production by order production.

The design process management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 is formed using three computers, an application server 2, a Web server 3, and a DB server 4, which mutually form a network via an intranet 6. According to the performance of the computer, the same design process management can be performed with one or a larger number of computers. Such a program for managing the design process is stored in advance in a large-capacity recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM, and is read by each computer device or downloaded via a network. can do.
