Hereinafter, description will be made in the order of pre-registration, login, order information registration processing, card creation processing, process management processing, and progress confirmation processing.

(Pre-registration)
In order for an administrator to use the process management support system, it is necessary to register in advance in the process management support system and log in to the system.

  The administrator transmits information such as the administrator's name and e-mail address from the manager terminal 6 to the process management support server 1 via the communication network 3. When the process management support server 1 (processing control unit 12) receives information such as the name of the manager, the process management support server 1 issues a manager ID and password, and sends the manager ID and password to the manager terminal 6 by e-mail, for example. To do. Further, the process control unit 12 registers the received predetermined information, administrator ID, and password in the administrator information DB 21. Thereby, the advance registration by the administrator is completed.

(Login)
The administrator accesses the Web site provided by the process management support server 1 from the administrator terminal 6 via the communication network 3 and inputs the received ID (login name) and password. If the processing control unit 12 recognizes that the user is an administrator from the transmitted login name and password, for example, the menu control information (HTML format information) as shown in FIG. To the management terminal 6 and a menu screen is displayed on the manager terminal 6. As shown in FIG. 13, the menu screen includes menus such as “order information registration processing” for registering order information, “card creation processing” for creating cards, and “progress status confirmation processing” for confirming the progress of work. The column is arranged. The administrator can perform processing such as order information registration by operating the manager terminal 6 and clicking “order information registration processing” or the like from this menu screen.

(Order information registration process)
The order information registration process is a process in which an administrator of this system registers order information relating to an ordered product. FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the order information registration process.

  First, the processing control unit 12 reads the menu screen shown in FIG. 13 from the image information DB 28 and displays the menu screen on the manager terminal 6 (step S1). The administrator can register the order information by operating the manager terminal 6 and clicking “order information registration processing”.

  Next, the process control unit 12 determines whether or not “order information registration process” is selected from the menu screen (step S2). That is, it is determined whether or not the administrator has clicked “order information registration processing” from the menu screen. If the process control unit 12 determines that the “order information registration process” has not been clicked (step S2; No), the process ends.

  If the process control unit 12 determines that the “order information registration process” has been clicked (step S2; Yes), it reads a registration screen (not shown) from the image information DB 28, transmits it to the manager terminal 6, and manages it. A registration screen is displayed on the user terminal 6 (step S3). The administrator can input necessary contents on the registration screen by operating the administrator terminal 6.

  Subsequently, the process control unit 12 determines whether or not necessary information is registered (step S4). For example, the process control unit 12 determines whether the product number (product name), the number, the delivery date, and the delivery destination are registered in the information transmitted from the administrator terminal 6 using the registration screen. . If the process control unit 12 determines that necessary information is registered (step S4; Yes), the process ends.

(Card creation process)
The card creation process is a process for creating a card (rewritable card) as a work instruction sheet used in a preparation process which is the first process in the product manufacturing process. In the present embodiment, in the card creation process, a card for the preparation process, which is the first process in the product manufacturing process, is created, and other processes are newly created after the completion of each process, as will be described later. Create a card for the next step. FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the card creation process.

  First, the process control unit 12 reads out the menu screen shown in FIG. 13 from the image information DB 28 and displays the menu screen on the manager terminal 6 (step S11). The administrator can register the order information by operating the administrator terminal 6 and clicking “card creation processing”.

  Next, the process control unit 12 determines whether or not “card creation process” is selected from the menu screen (step S12). If the process control unit 12 determines that the “card creation process” has not been clicked (step S12; No), the process ends.

  If the process control unit 12 determines that the “card creation process” is clicked (step S12; Yes), the card is determined from the information stored in the order information DB 26 and the information stored in the image information DB 28. A product list screen showing a list of products to be created, that is, products in which information indicating that a card has not been created is stored in the order information DB 26 is created, and the created product list screen is displayed on the manager terminal 6. The product list screen is displayed on the manager terminal 6 (step S13). The administrator can specify a product for creating a card by operating the administrator terminal 6 and selecting a product.

  Subsequently, the process control unit 12 determines whether or not a product for creating a card has been specified (step S14). If the process controller 12 determines that the product for creating the card is specified (step S14; Yes), it is stored in the product information DB 22, the manufacturing process information DB 23, the component information DB 24, and the jig / tool information DB 25. Necessary information is extracted from the stored information (step S15). Specifically, information relating to the manufacturing process of the specified product, parts necessary for the manufacturing process, jigs / tools, and their storage locations is extracted. In the present embodiment, since the card for the preparation process is created, information on the parts, jigs / tools, storage locations, and the like necessary for the specified product preparation process is extracted.

  Next, the process control unit 12 transmits the extracted information to the manager terminal 6 (step S16). When the administrator receives the transmitted information at the administrator terminal 6, the administrator operates the rewritable device 7 based on the received information to create a card. For example, the administrator operates the administrator terminal 6 to transmit the received information to the rewritable device 7 and causes the processing control unit 72 to control the rewriting unit 75 to write the transmitted information to the card. Thereby, the administrator can create a card that can be used in the preparation process. When the manager creates the card, the manager operates the manager terminal 6 to transmit information indicating that the card has been created to the process management support server 1.

  Subsequently, the process control unit 12 determines whether or not information indicating that a card has been created is received from the manager terminal 6 (step S17). When the process control unit 12 receives the information that the card has been created (step S17; Yes), the process control unit 12 registers the information that the card has been created in the order information DB 26 (step S18), and ends this process.

(Process management process)
The process management process is a process that supports process management by using a card (rewritable card) created by a card creation process or the like as a work instruction form (card). In the process management process, the worker terminal 4 and the rewritable device 5 are used. FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the process management process.

  First, an operator inserts a card into the rewritable device 5 arranged in a work place where the work is performed before performing the work of each process. The control unit 42 of the worker terminal 4 determines whether or not a card has been inserted into the rewritable device 5 (step S21). When determining that the card has been inserted into the rewritable device 5, the control unit 42 determines whether or not the previous step has been completed (step S22). That is, the storage area 82 of the rewritable card 8 stores the previous process and the previous process end time of the product to be manufactured, and whether or not the stored previous process is the previous process of this process. Determine.

  If the control unit 42 determines that it is a previous process of the present process (step S22; Yes), a list of parts, jigs, tools, etc. used in the present process stored in the storage area 82 of the rewritable card 8 is used for the operator. It displays on the display part 44 of the terminal 4 (step S23). The worker collects jigs / tools, parts, and the like stored in the work place or a predetermined storage location, and registers them in the worker terminal 4. For example, the worker reads a barcode attached to a part, jig / tool, etc., and registers the collection of the part, jig / tool, etc. in the worker terminal 4.

  The control unit 42 determines whether or not a barcode has been read (step S24). When it is determined that the barcode has been read (step S24; Yes), the control unit 42 checks the read parts and the like (step S25), and determines whether there are any parts that have not been read (step S26). ). When the control unit 42 determines that there is a component or the like that has not been read (step S26; Yes), the control unit 42 returns to step S24.

  When the control unit 42 determines that there is no unread component or the like (step S26; No), a screen showing a specific work procedure (work content) stored in the storage area 82 is displayed on the worker terminal 4. The information is displayed on the unit 44 (step S27). The worker can work (end) this process by performing work according to the screen displayed on the display unit 44 of the worker terminal 4.

  Next, the control unit 42 determines whether the work has been completed (step S28). For example, the control unit 42 determines whether or not the screen indicating the work procedure stored in the storage area 82 has ended. When it is determined that the work is finished (step S28; Yes), the control unit 42 stores the finish time, and transmits the stored finish time and information indicating that this process is finished to the process management support server 1 ( Step S29).

  When information indicating that this process is completed is transmitted in step S29, the process control unit 12 of the process management support server 1 executes the next process information transmission process shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether or not this information has been received (step S41). If the process control unit 12 determines that this information has been received (step S41; Yes), it is necessary from the information stored in the product information DB 22, the manufacturing process information DB 23, the part information DB 24, and the jig / tool information DB 25. Information is extracted (step S42). Specifically, information on the end time of this process, the next manufacturing process of this product, parts required in the manufacturing process, jigs / tools, storage locations thereof, and the like are extracted. Then, the process control unit 12 transmits the extracted information to the worker terminal 4 (step S43). Moreover, the process control part 12 registers the end time of this process in progress information DB27 (step S44), and complete | finishes this process.

  Subsequently, the control unit 42 operates the rewritable device 5 based on the received information and rewrites the contents of the card (step S30). The control unit 42 transmits the received information to the rewritable device 5 and causes the processing control unit 52 of the rewritable device 5 to control the rewriting unit 55 to write the transmitted information to the card. Thereby, the content of the card is rewritten to the content of the next step. Then, the control unit 42 ends this process.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 42 determines that the previous process of the present process has not ended (step S22; No), information indicating that the previous process of the present process has not ended is displayed on the display unit of the operator terminal 4. The information is displayed on 44 and notified to the operator, and is transmitted to the process management support server 1 and the manager terminal 6 (step S31), and the process proceeds to step S30. In this case, in step S30, the control unit 42 operates the rewritable device 5 based on the information indicating that it is not the previous process of the present process. For example, as shown in FIG. Rewrite to a card (nonconforming card) that clearly states

  In this way, by inserting the card into the rewritable device 5 arranged in the work place where the work is performed, it is possible to easily and reliably determine whether or not the previous process of this process has been completed.

(Progress status confirmation process)
The progress confirmation process is a process for confirming the progress of the ordered product.
The process control unit 12 reads the menu screen shown in FIG. 13 from the image information DB 28 and causes the manager terminal 6 to display the menu screen. Next, the process control unit 12 determines whether or not “progress status check process” is selected from the menu screen. If the process control unit 12 determines that it is selected, it is stored in the progress information DB 27 and the image information DB 28. A screen showing the progress status is created based on the stored information and transmitted to the manager terminal 6, and a screen showing the progress status is displayed on the manager terminal 6.

  In this way, the administrator confirms the current progress status of the ordered product registered in the progress information DB 27 simply by operating the manager terminal 6 and clicking “progress status confirmation processing” from the menu screen. can do.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, whether or not the previous process of this process is completed by inserting a card into the rewritable device 5 arranged in the work place where the work is performed in the process management process. Therefore, it is possible to easily and reliably prevent the process from being lost without imposing a burden on the operator. Thus, process management can be supported.

  According to the present embodiment, in the process management process, a screen showing a specific work procedure (work content) is displayed by inserting the card into the rewritable device 5 arranged in the work place where the work is performed. Therefore, the worker can easily perform the work of this process by performing the work according to the screen displayed on the display unit 44 of the worker terminal 4. Thus, process management can be supported.

  According to the present embodiment, when the previous process is not completed, the pre-process is not completed and the card is rewritten as a nonconforming card that clearly indicates that it is nonconforming. This can be prevented.

  In addition, this invention is not restricted to said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible. Hereinafter, other embodiments applicable to the present invention will be described.

  In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described by taking the case where a rewritable card is used as a storage medium. However, by inserting a card (storage medium), it is determined whether or not the previous process of this process has been completed. I can do it. Further, the worker terminal 4 arranged in the work place of each process may not be connected to the rewritable device 5. In this case, for example, a card reader capable of reading a card is connected to the worker terminal 4.

  In the card creation process, a card for the preparation process, which is the first process of the product manufacturing process, is created, and for the other processes, a card for the next process is newly created after each process is taken as an example. Although the invention has been described, for example, in the card creation process, a card for each manufacturing process may be created.

  In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described by taking the case where the end time is transmitted to the process management support server 1 as an example in the process management process. However, for example, the start time may be transmitted in addition to the end time. The start time is, for example, the time when it is determined that the previous process is completed in step S22 of the process management process as the work start time of the process, and is transmitted to the process management support server 1 together with the end time in step S29. . Thereby, the start time and end time of the process are registered in the progress information DB 27.

  Further, when the start time and end time of the process are registered in the progress information DB 27, the work time of each process is registered. For example, by providing a worker card (ID) that stores information related to a worker and associating the work of each process with the worker, the evaluation for each worker can be facilitated. In addition, for example, for each worker, a reference time for the work of each process is provided, and when the work can be performed in a time shorter than the reference time, a predetermined point is given to the worker to reduce the work time. Can be given.

  In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described by taking as an example the case where a card is inserted into the rewritable device 5 and a list of parts, a work content, etc. are displayed on the display unit 44 of the worker terminal 4. Such a list, work contents, etc. may be printed on the sheet. In this case, by checking the printed sheet with a pen, it is possible to prevent the process from being easily and reliably prevented, and the operation of this process can be easily performed. In this case, for example, if the work information is digitized using a scanner after the work is completed, the information can be stored and used.

  The process management support server 1 according to the present embodiment can be realized using a normal computer system, not a dedicated system. For example, the process management support server 1 that executes the above-described processing by installing the program from a recording medium (such as a flexible disk or a CD-ROM) that stores the program for executing the above-described processing in a general-purpose computer. Can be configured.
