The analysis date data storage unit 12 ′ includes an analysis date data table 41 in which a part name and an analysis date on which the contained substance for each part is analyzed are stored. The part name is the part used for the part, and the analysis date is the analysis date for the so-called ICP data if the chemical substance contained in the part is analyzed using, for example, an ICP analyzer. Or about the data update date. In particular, depending on the customer, there is an increasing number of cases in which the analysis data of contained substances has an expiration date and only requests the submission of data within that expiration date. Therefore, analysis date data for each part is stored in this way. If so, it will be very effective in designing and dealing with customers.

  The storage device 6 also includes a legal regulation value data storage unit 14 as reference data storage means. The legal regulation value data storage unit 14 includes a legal regulation value data table 51 such as the maximum content defined by law for substances that affect the environment. The legal regulation value data storage unit 14 constitutes reference data storage means for storing reference data determined by law.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the legal regulation value data table 51. Each regulation value data is reference data such as the maximum content of each substance subject to regulation in units of parts. In FIG. 5, in the legal regulation value data table 51, substance names a, b, c, d, etc., such as cadmium, are arranged on the horizontal axis as predetermined substances related to the environment, and the vertical axis represents, for example, the European Union (EU). ) Regulations on the use of certain hazardous substances (hereinafter referred to as the RoHS Directive) and laws concerning regulations on the examination and production of chemical substances (hereinafter referred to as the Chemical Substances Control Law) B method etc. are lined up.

  As will be described later, in product design, based on destination information, reference is made to regulation value data regarding a law corresponding to the destination, and it is determined whether or not it is a part that can be used for the product. For this purpose, a destination application reference data storage unit 15 as shown in FIG. 6 is included in the storage device 6.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the destination reference data table 61. The destination reference data storage unit 15 includes a destination reference data table 61 in which destination names and corresponding application criteria are stored. The destination is, for example, the region or country of the sales or export destination. Applicable standards are laws that regulate the environment of regions and countries. Therefore, in FIG. 6, the destination application standard data table 61 describes the standards to be applied, the names of the A method and the B method for each destination Europe (EU), Japan (JP), and the like. . The destination reference data storage unit 15 constitutes destination law correspondence storage means for storing the correspondence between the product destination and the law applied at the destination.

  The storage device 6 also includes a customer regulation value data storage unit 16. The customer regulation value data storage unit 16 includes a customer regulation value data table 71 determined for each company for substances that affect the environment. The customer regulation value data storage unit 16 constitutes a reference data storage unit that is determined by a customer and stores reference data.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the customer regulation value data table 71. The customer regulation value data table 71 is a table in which regulation value data for each customer is stored. Each regulation value data is reference data such as maximum content for each substance subject to regulation. Accordingly, in FIG. 7, in the customer regulation value data table 71, substance names a, b, c, d, etc. such as cadmium are arranged on the horizontal axis as predetermined substances that affect the environment, and the vertical axis indicates the customer name. Names A, B, etc. are lined up.

  As described above, the server device 2 includes the product configuration data storage unit 10, the part data storage unit 11, the part data storage unit 12, the analysis date data storage unit 12 ', the inclusion data storage unit 13, and the legal regulations. The storage device 6 that stores the value data storage unit 14, the destination reference data storage unit 15, and the customer regulation value data storage unit 16 can be accessed, and various inquiries from product designers and customers Data is applied.

  Next, a procedure for a product designer to design a product using the data described above will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of product design processing. 9 may be executed in the in-house terminal 4 that has accessed the server apparatus 2 or may be executed in the server apparatus 2 by designation from the in-house terminal 4.

  First, a designer executes a product design processing program in order to design a product according to a request from a customer. When the product design processing program is executed, the screen of FIG. 9 is displayed on the screen of the in-house terminal 4. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the customer destination input screen 101. FIG. 9 has a customer input field 102 and a destination input field 103.

  The designer inputs the customer name in the customer input field 102 and inputs the destination in the destination input field 103 (step S1). The designer inputs the customer name and destination information of the product to be designed according to the screen of FIG. 9, and presses the confirmation button 105. When the cursor is moved and clicked using a pointing device such as a mouse, the input information is transmitted to the server device 2. The customer name and destination information input here are used as information for designating legal and customer environment reference data, as will be described later. Therefore, step S1 constitutes reference data specifying means for specifying reference data of a predetermined substance related to the environment.

  By using the screen of FIG. 9, the designer can simply apply the destination and customer information without having to input information on applicable laws and customer requests each time. A request from a customer can be specified.

  When the customer name and destination information are input, the product configuration designation screen 111 of FIG. 10 is displayed on the screen of the in-house terminal 4. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the product configuration designation screen 111. FIG. 10 includes a product configuration list display unit 112 that is managed by the PDM system and displays product components, and a check box display unit 113 corresponding to each component.

  When the designer puts a check into a check box corresponding to a component for which product design is performed and presses an OK button 115, information on the designated component is transmitted to the server device 2 (step 2).

  In FIG. 10, the check boxes such as the liquid crystal panel and the printed circuit board unit are checked for the liquid crystal module to be designed this time.

  If the check box of the product configuration designation screen 111 is checked, then the component designation screen 121 of FIG. 11 is displayed on the screen of the in-house terminal 4. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the component designation screen 121. FIG. 11 includes a component list display unit 122 that displays a list of components managed by the PDM system, and a check box display unit 123 corresponding to each component. FIG. 11 shows a component designation screen for a printed circuit board unit that is a component of the liquid crystal module.

  When the designer puts a chuck into a check box corresponding to a part for which product design is to be performed and presses an OK button 125, information on the designated part is transmitted to the server apparatus 2 (step 3).

  In FIG. 11, the printed circuit board, the constant voltage diode, the resistor, the chip multilayer capacitor, and the like are checked for the component list related to the printed circuit board.

  When a part for product design is designated, the server device 2 searches for a usable part (step 4). The usable part is a part related to the part designated by the designer, and from the part group stored in the part data storage unit 12 based on the customer name and destination information input by the designer. This is a part that satisfies the environmental standard data of the designated customer's environmental standard and the environmental standard data of the designated destination.

  Specifically, the server device 2 first searches and extracts the part related to the part designated by the designer from the part data storage unit 12. Next, the server apparatus 2 determines whether or not each extracted part satisfies the environmental standard of the customer and satisfies the environmental standard such as the destination law and the content data of each part of FIG. And the reference data shown in FIG. In the extracted part list data, the part that satisfies both the customer and the legal standards of the law is flagged, and the part that does not satisfy both the environmental standards is not flagged. A part that satisfies the criteria is distinguished from a part that does not satisfy the criteria.

  At this time, if the customer's environmental standards and the environmental standards such as the destination law are part of the data contained in the content data of the part, it is only necessary that some data only satisfy the standard , A part satisfying the criterion is extracted. For example, if the environmental standard of the customer or the destination company's law does not require the purpose of inclusion of the content data, the site is extracted based on the content data excluding the content purpose. If the customer sets up an expiration date for the analysis data of the contained substance and requests only the submission of data within the expiration date, the extraction of the site including the analysis date data in the analysis date data storage unit 12 ′ is performed. Is called.

  When the processing in step 4 is completed, the server device 2 can extract only the parts that are flagged as parts satisfying both environmental standards, classify them into parts, and use them on the screen of the in-house terminal 4 List data is output to display a list of parts (step S5). FIG. 12 is a view showing a display example of the usable part list display screen 131.

  FIG. 12 is a display example of a usable part list in a part designated by the designer. As shown in FIG. 12, in the usable part list display screen 131, usable parts are listed in a list format for each part such as exterior resin, frame, lead wire solder, element, wire, etc. constituting the constant voltage diode. A usable part list display part 132 to be displayed is included. Furthermore, in the usable part list display screen 131, a check box 133 is provided corresponding to each usable part so that a designer can designate a part to be used.

  When the designer checks the check box 133 on the screen of FIG. 12 and designates the part to be used, and presses the OK button 134, the information on the designated part is transmitted to the server apparatus 2 (step S1). S6). That is, the designer can select a part from parts that satisfy a predetermined standard.

  The server device 2 stores and registers the specified part data as part data constituting the component of the product in the PDM system in the product configuration data storage unit 10 of the storage device 6 (step S7). In this way, the part data is registered in the product configuration data storage unit 10 as part data that constitutes a part that is a product constituent element for each product in the PDM system. Since the registered part data is associated with the content data shown in FIG. 3, steps S6 and S7 constitute a constituent part data registration unit.

  As described above, in the product design part selection, if the customer is company A, the environmental standard data of company A in FIG. 7 is used. If the destination is in Europe, the destination application standard table in FIG. Referring to FIG. 5, since the application standard is the A method, the reference data of the A method in FIG. 5 is used. And the site | part designated by the designer from the site | parts which satisfy the environmental reference data of both a customer and a destination is registered into a PDM system.

  The product data registered in the PDM system is linked to the content data, which is the environmental data shown in Fig. 3, for each part. If you specify a product, you can search the environmental data for the part used in that product. Various processing, for example, processing such as aggregation can be performed using the result.

  Therefore, according to the process of FIG. 9, a product that meets each environmental standard can be easily designed.

  Further, when the PDM system is used as described above, it is possible to quickly respond to a request for submitting environmental data about a specific product from a customer, for example.

  Next, another product design processing procedure when the designer performs product design will be described. The product design process may be executed in the in-house terminal 4 that has accessed the server device 2 or may be executed in the server device 2 by designation from the in-house terminal 4.

  In this process, the same process is performed up to step S3 in the flowchart showing an example of the flow of the product design process shown in FIG. That is, when a designer checks a check box corresponding to a part for which product design is performed and presses an OK button 125, information on the designated component is transmitted to the server device 2.

  When the check box of the component configuration designation screen 121 is checked, the usable component list screen 141 in FIG. 13 is displayed on the screen of the in-house terminal 4. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the usable part list screen 141. As shown in FIG. 13, on the usable component list display screen, usable specific components are displayed in a list format for each component such as a printed circuit board and a constant voltage diode constituting the printed circuit board unit. A parts list display unit 142 is included. Furthermore, on the usable part list screen 141, check boxes 143 are provided corresponding to the respective usable parts so that the designer can designate the parts to be used.

  Based on the customer name and destination information input by the designer, the usable parts are selected from the group of parts stored in the part data storage unit 12, and the environmental standard data of the designated customer's environmental standard, It is a part that includes only parts that satisfy the environmental standard reference data of the specified destination.

  Specifically, the server device 2 first extracts parts that satisfy the customer's environmental standards and the environmental standards such as the destination laws based on the content data of each part. Then, a usable part is displayed for each part, with a part composed only of the extracted portion as a usable part.

  When such processing is performed, the storage device 6 is a part name data storage unit that stores specific registration candidate part name data and data related to specific parts constituting each registration candidate part. A part name data storage unit.

  In such a process, when selecting a product, it is only necessary to select a part, and the part that forms the selected part satisfies the environmental standard, so it is easy to design a product that meets the environmental standard. Can be done.

  Next, the processing for the environmental data submission request from the customer will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing when there is a request for submission of environmental data for a certain product from a customer.

  When the submission of environmental data for the designed product is requested, the person who creates the environmental data report calls the screen shown in FIG. The screen of FIG. 15 is also generated in the in-house terminal 4 by transmitting screen data from the server device 2 by a predetermined access from the in-house terminal 4 to the server device 2. The format of environmental data reports is usually different for each customer. The storage device 6 of the server device 2 includes a report format data storage unit 17 for each customer, and the report format for each customer is stored in advance. The format data storage unit 17 constitutes report format storage means for storing a report format including environmental data of products.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the product designation screen 151. The product designation screen 151 in FIG. 15 has a product name input field 152 for designating a product. When the report creator inputs the product name for which the report is to be created in the product name input field 152 according to the screen of FIG. 15 and presses an OK button 155 that is a confirmation button, the input information is stored in the server device. 2 (step S11).

  When the product name is designated, the server device 2 searches for the PDM system (step S12). In the search in step S12, data related to the designated product name is extracted from the product configuration data storage unit 10, and environmental data for each part of the part related to the extracted product configuration is extracted from the substance content data storage means of FIG. Extract. Step 12 reads substance data constituting a part which is a component of the product from the product composition data storage unit 10 for the specified product, and extracts substance data for each part from the substance-containing data storage means The extraction means is configured.

  Then, the server device 2 performs a counting process (step S13). This aggregation process is a process for aggregating environmental data related to data appearing in a report designated by a customer of a designated product into data necessary for creating a report. Each aggregated data is temporarily stored in a data table.

  Next, using the aggregate data, a format process is performed in which each aggregate data is input to the report format read from the format data storage unit 17 (step S14).

  First, in the format process, data corresponding to each item in the format is read from the data table, and the process of fitting the read data to each item in the output format of the report is performed.

  When the data of each item of the format is ready, the report format is output (step S15). Steps S14 and S15 constitute report data output means for outputting report data corresponding to a predetermined format.

  As described above, if the processing of FIG. 14 is executed, it is possible to quickly provide environmental data in a format according to a request according to a customer's request.

  As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, a designer or the like can perform a product design that satisfies a predetermined environmental standard while easily checking the environmental data when designing the environmental data. Furthermore, when a company or the like is required to provide environmental data of a product from a customer or the like, a report according to the request can be prepared quickly and promptly, so that a quick reply can be made.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to realize an environmental data management system that can quickly use environmental data without entrusting an external environmental evaluator with the environmental evaluation of the designed product.

  The system described above can also be used, for example, to check for deficiencies in environmental data submitted by vendors that supply parts, or to evaluate vendors that have found substances that violate environmental standards. is there.

  In the above embodiment, there is one storage device, but various storage units may be distributed and arranged on the network. In that case, the server device performs reading, registration, and the like of data from the distributed storage units as necessary.
