The steps belonging to a group indicated by the same group identification information are mutually exchangeable steps, and certain steps included in the plurality of steps. When the processing of all the steps earlier in execution step than the certain steps has been completed, or when all the steps among the steps earlier in execution order than the certain steps, the processing of which is yet to be completed, belong to the same group as that to which the certain steps belong, the certain steps are determined to be steps permitted to be executed next.

Description

  The present invention relates to production management technology for products manufactured through a plurality of processes, and more particularly to technology for performing flexible production management with high production efficiency.

  With the progress of information communication technology in recent years, production management utilizing network infrastructure, for example, collecting progress results in a timely manner and making quick plan changes based on it, etc. Yes.

  For example, a work management system has been proposed in which work instructions based on a work plan are transmitted to a worker via a communication unit, and the progress of the work is acquired from the worker via a communication unit (Patent Document). 1 etc.). Such a system has an advantage that even if an abnormal situation such as a shortage or a quality defect occurs, the plan can be changed immediately, and the produced production plan and process instructions can be observed.

JP 2002-328716 A

  However, in practice, there may be a case where the formulated production plan or process instruction cannot be executed depending on the state of the equipment or the like, or it is not always necessary to execute it as it is.

  For example, a production plan for parts processing and assembly of a large industrial machine close to individual production. In such fields, unlike the electronic device manufacturing process and mass production assembly process, although there are general restrictions such as the quality inspection process performed for each series of work groups, detailed plan changes can be made based on on-site judgment. In some cases, the production efficiency is better. Specifically, it determines on-site the progress of other work, the maintenance of equipment, etc., changes the execution order of partial processes, or replaces the equipment to work on.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for performing production management capable of achieving both a change in process based on on-site judgment and compliance with a process rule that should be kept at a minimum.

  In one aspect according to the present invention, the production management system stores the order of execution of each process of members to be processed by a plurality of processes and the group identification information indicating the group to which each process belongs in association with each other. And when the processes of all the processes in the plurality of processes whose execution order is earlier than the certain process have been completed, or the execution order is more than the certain process. If all of the previous processes that have not been processed belong to the same group as the group to which the certain process belongs, it is determined that the certain process can be processed next. And a start determination unit that includes the same group identification information of the groups to which the start group determination unit belongs.

  In the production management method according to another aspect of the present invention, the order of execution of each process of the member processed by a plurality of processes is stored in association with the group identification information indicating the group to which each process belongs. A production management method used in a production management system having a plan storage means, wherein a process of a plurality of processes in which the execution order is earlier than the certain process is completed. If all the processes that have not been processed among the processes prior to the certain process belong to the same group as the group to which the certain process belongs, A start determination step for determining that the certain process is a process that can be processed next is provided, and the processes having the same group identification information of the group to which the process belongs can be interchanged with each other.

  According to the production management system apparatus and the production management method having such a configuration, not only when processing of all processes before a certain process is completed, but also the order of execution is before this certain process. If all the processes that have not been processed belong to the same group as the certain process, it is determined that the certain process is a process that can be processed next. . In other words, it is determined that processes that belong to the same group, that is, processes that can be interchanged with each other, can be started even if they are not in the planned execution order. At the same time, it is possible to observe the minimum order of groups to be protected.

  Moreover, in the above-described production management system, the production management system further associates with the content of the process of the process, and substitute facility storage means for storing one or more facilities capable of processing the content; Equipment acquisition means for acquiring equipment for performing processing of a certain process, and the start determination means is further configured such that the equipment acquired by the equipment acquisition means is associated with the contents of the processing of the certain process in the substitution. In the case where it is the same as one of the facilities stored in the facility storage means, it is preferable to determine that the certain process is a process that can be processed next.

  According to this configuration, since facilities capable of performing the same processing are stored, it is possible to determine whether or not the facilities can be replaced. Therefore, the equipment can be changed based on the field judgment, and more flexible production management is possible. In addition, when the operator himself selects the equipment, the operator may select the equipment by mistake, so it is possible to confirm whether or not the equipment can be changed on the system side.

  Further, in the above-described production management system, the production management system further includes warning means for giving a warning to a user, and the plan storage means further performs processing of each process in association with each of the processes. The facility to be stored is stored, and the start determination unit determines that the certain step is a step that can be processed next, and the facility acquired by the facility acquisition unit and the certain step If the equipment stored in the plan storage means is not the same as the above, it is preferable to cause the warning means to issue a warning.

  According to this configuration, since the planned facility for processing the process is stored, it is possible to give a warning when the actual processing facility is different from the planned facility.

  Further, in the above-described production management system, the production management system further includes warning means for giving a warning to the user, and the start determination means is a process capable of processing the certain process next. In the case where it is determined that there is, it is preferable to cause the warning means to issue a warning when the next order is different from the order stored in the plan storage means as the execution order of the certain process.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to issue a warning when the process order is processed in a different order from the planned order.

  Further, in the above-described production management system, the production management system further includes a display unit that displays a process that can be started, and the plan storage unit further associates each process with each process. The start determination means is a process in which processing is not completed among the plurality of processes, and processing of all processes whose execution order is earlier than the process is completed. If all the processes that have not been processed among the processes prior to the process in the execution order belong to the same group as the group to which the process belongs, the process is processed next. Preferably, it is determined that the process can be performed and displayed on the display means.

  According to this configuration, since only the processes that can be started are displayed, the operator can easily select the process to be performed next.

  In the above production management system, the member has member identification information for identifying the member, and the production management system further acquires member identification information acquisition means for acquiring the member identification information of the member. Preferably, the start determination unit determines a step that can be processed next among a plurality of steps of processing the member indicated by the member identification information acquired by the member identification information acquisition unit.

  According to this configuration, since each member has identification information and can be acquired by the production management system, the operator can easily check the member process without inputting the member number.

  The production management system according to the present invention can perform production management while achieving both process change based on on-site judgment and compliance with process rules to be kept at a minimum.

Each target member 2002 is issued a unique member number by the production plan formulation system 4000. Before the first process starts, basic information such as the member name, member number, and complete delivery date is identified along with the barcode. An ID identification tag 2003 printed with an ID is issued and attached to the member. The identification tag 2003 moves with the member during the production process and is used for the actual recognition of the member.

  In FIG. 1, three work terminal devices 2000A, B, and C are described, but more work terminal devices may be provided, and two radio base stations 120A and B are described. However, more may be provided. Also, a large number of devices such as the planned distribution result collection server device 1000 may be provided. Hereinafter, the work terminal devices 2000A to 2000C are collectively referred to as a work terminal device 2000, and the radio base stations 120A to 120B are collectively referred to as a radio base station 120. In addition, the equipment 2001A to C, the target members 2002A to C, and the identification tags 2003A to C are collectively referred to as the equipment 2001, the target member 2002, and the identification tag 2003, respectively.

  The plan distribution result collection server device 1000, the plan formulation terminal device 3000, the production plan formulation system 4000, and the radio base station 120 are connected to each other via the network 101, and the work terminal device 2000 includes the network 101 and the radio base station. Through 120, it is connected to the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000. The network 101 is a factory network, for example, a network that conforms to the IEEE 802.11 standard, and the wireless base station 120 is a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) base station that conforms to the IEEE 802.11 standard.

  Next, the configuration of the plan distribution result collection server device 1000, the work terminal device 2000 plan formulation terminal device 3000, and the production plan formulation system 4000 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a functional block configuration of the production management system.

  The plan creator formulates a production plan (process plan) for each member by using the plan formulation terminal device 3000 and the production plan formulation system 4000. The produced production plan is managed by the plan distribution result collection server apparatus 1000. Specifically, the plan distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 distributes the production plan to the work terminal apparatus 2000. Using the work terminal device 2000, the worker confirms the process to be performed in the facility 2001 and inputs the start of the process. Work is performed accordingly, and the completion of the process is input using the work terminal device 2000. The planned distribution result collection server device 1000 collects work results related to start and completion from the work terminal device 2000 and stores them.

  The production plan formulation system 4000 is a system that formulates a schedule for the entire factory in accordance with product orders, and includes, for example, a plurality of computers and networks. In the embodiment, only the communication unit 4100 and the production management information storage unit 4200 that are necessary functional units in the production management system 100 are illustrated.

  The communication unit 4100 has a function of communicating with the plan development terminal device 3000 via the network 101.

  The production management information storage unit 4200 stores the schedule of the entire factory formulated in the production plan formulation system 4000, and various data necessary for the production plan, for example, the capacity of equipment, the delivery date of orders, and the like. It should be noted that the production plan formulation method performed by the production plan formulation system 4000 is formulated by any conventional method such as a method of assigning objects to be processed to each facility by post-scheduling scheduling.

  The plan development terminal device 3000 is, for example, a personal computer configured with a microprocessor and its peripheral circuits, and functionally includes a communication unit 3100, a control unit 3200, an operation unit 3300, a display unit 3400, and a production plan creation. Unit 3500 and production plan storage unit 3600.

  The communication unit 3100 has a function of communicating with the production plan formulation system 4000 and the plan distribution result collection server device 1000 via the network 101.

  The control unit 3200 has a function of controlling each functional unit included in the plan formulation terminal device 3000 and performing a production plan formulation process.

  The operation unit 3300 is a device that inputs various commands such as a command for starting a program for creating a production plan and various data necessary for formulating a production plan to the plan formulation terminal device 3000. For example, a keyboard or a mouse.

  The display unit 3400 is a device that outputs (presents) the command and data input from the operation unit 3300 and the schedule created in the plan development terminal device 3000. For example, a display device such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, a plasma display, or a printing device such as a printer.

  The production plan creation unit 3500 has a function of formulating a production plan for each member. Specifically, a schedule for each member for a predetermined period is extracted from the schedule of the entire factory created by the production plan formulation system 4000, and a production plan is formulated for each member. At this time, the process is grouped. In grouping, processes that can change the processing order are grouped into one group.

  In the process targeted by the production management system 100, although the order of execution is determined as a plan, there is a plan that can be replaced by judgment at the site. For example, if it is a process of cutting each of the upper, lower, left and right surfaces of the member in the cutting process, the finished state will not change even if it is cut from any surface as long as they do not interfere with each other. Therefore, it is only necessary to cut from a convenient surface while observing the availability of on-site equipment. However, for example, if there is a finish polishing process etc., it does not make sense unless the related surfaces are cut, and if there is a process such as overall dimension inspection, all surfaces will be cut. It must be done after polishing.

  That is, all the processes are grouped as a group of process groups that can be interchanged. Then, when starting the process, it is determined whether or not the process can be started based on the information of the process group and the progress results at that time. The start determination unit 1400 of the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 described later performs the process of determining whether or not the start is possible.

  The production plan storage unit 3600 has a function of storing the production plan created by the production plan creation unit 3500 for each member.

  The planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 is, for example, a personal computer configured with a microprocessor and its peripheral circuits, and functionally includes a communication unit 1100, a control unit 1200, a result information setting unit 1300, and a start determination unit. 1400, a plan distribution unit 1900, a plan / result storage unit 1600, an alternative facility storage unit 1700, and a facility terminal information storage unit 1800.

  The communication unit 1100 has a function of communicating with the planning terminal device 3000 via the network 101 and communicating with the work terminal device 2000 via the network 101 and the wireless base station 120.

  The control unit 1200 has a function of controlling each functional unit included in the planned distribution result collecting server apparatus 1000 to perform a production plan transmission process, a result reception process, and the like.

  The result information setting unit 1300 indicates that the process has been started by the worker for each process of the production plan stored in the plan / result storage unit 1600, the process has been completed, and the process has been completed. It has a function to set the effect. In addition, the record information setting unit 1300 also has a function of inquiring the start determination unit 1400 as to whether or not the worker is about to start a process to be started, and notifying the work terminal device 2000 of the result.

  The start determination unit 1400 is requested from the performance information setting unit 1300, and when the requested process is started, the start determination unit 1400 determines whether or not a process that needs to be protected is protected. If it is not observed, it is determined that it is impossible to start, and the result information setting unit 1300 is notified. In this determination, the record information setting unit 1300 determines whether the process can be changed and whether the equipment can be changed. The reason for determining whether or not the equipment can be changed is that a certain change may be permitted at the site. In other words, there may be a plurality of facilities in the same factory that can carry out the process instructed by the operator, such as in the case of facilities used for cutting, etc. In such a case, check the progress of other facilities. However, change the equipment at the site's discretion.

  Whether or not the process can be changed is determined using a group. More specifically, the worker uses the work terminal device 2000 to designate a process that is about to start. Whether the start determination unit 1400 has completed all the processes in the order prior to the process specified by the operator or is the same process group as the process to be started. Judging. Only when all the processes are completed or when the uncompleted processes are in the same group, it is determined that the processes can be performed. That is, it is possible to skip an unfinished process and perform the next process, but this is possible only when all these processes belong to the same group. For example, if the cutting process, the finish polishing process, and the inspection process are registered as different groups, the order within each group can be changed, but the order can be changed across the groups, for example, the cutting process. It is impossible to start a final polishing process when all the processes are not completed.

  Whether or not the equipment can be changed is determined based on the data of the alternative equipment stored in the alternative equipment storage unit 1700 described later and the data of the equipment corresponding to the work terminal device 2000 stored in the equipment terminal information storage unit 1800. Judge based. More specifically, when an operator designates a process that is about to start using the work terminal device 2000, the equipment associated with the work terminal apparatus 2000 is equipment that can perform processing contents of the process. Determine whether or not.

  The plan distribution unit 1900 has a function of reading out necessary data, for example, a production plan of a certain member from the plan / result storage unit 1600 and transmitting it to the work terminal device 2000 in response to a request from the work terminal device 2000.

  The plan / result storage unit 1600 has a function of storing the production plan and the result of the equipment 2001 supported by the work terminal device 2000 managed by the plan distribution result collection server device 1000.

  The alternative equipment storage unit 1700 has a function of storing equipment that can perform processing of a certain process, in other words, equipment that can be replaced in association with process contents.

  The equipment terminal information storage unit 1800 has a function of storing the correspondence between the work terminal device 2000 and the equipment 2001.

  Details of data stored in the plan / result storage unit 1600, the alternative facility storage unit 1700, and the facility terminal information storage unit 1800 will be described in the section <Data>.

  The work terminal device 2000 is, for example, a personal computer configured with a microprocessor and its peripheral circuits, etc., and functionally includes a communication unit 2100, a control unit 2200, an operation unit 2300, a display unit 2400, and a warning notification unit 2500. And a member ID detector 2600.

  The communication unit 2100 has a function of communicating with the work terminal device 2000 via the network 101.

  The control unit 2200 has a function of controlling each functional unit included in the work terminal device 2000 to perform a process of detecting an identifier of a member that the worker wants to perform processing, a process of accepting a process to start, and the like.

  The operation unit 2300 is a device that inputs various commands such as a command for starting a program for displaying a production plan, a process to start, and the like to the work terminal apparatus 2000. For example, a keyboard or a mouse.

  The display unit 2400 is a device that outputs (presents) a command input from the operation unit 2300, a production plan, and the like. For example, a display device such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, a plasma display, or a printing device such as a printer.

  The warning notification unit 2500 has a function of giving a warning to the display unit 2400 when the process to be started is processed by equipment different from the production plan. For example, a warning message is displayed on the display unit 2400, a process number to be started is displayed in a display mode different from other process numbers, for example, a different color is displayed, or a warning sound is output from a speaker (not shown).

  The member ID detection unit 2600 has a function of detecting a member identifier. For example, when the identifier of the target member 2002 is indicated by a barcode on the identification tag 2003, the member ID detection unit 2600 includes a barcode reader, and has a function of converting the barcode read by the barcode reader into an identifier. Have. In addition, it is good also as giving an identifier to a member with another method. For example, the identification tag 2003 is an IC tag or the like. In this case, the member ID detection unit 2600 includes a reading device therefor. Moreover, the member ID detection part 2600 is good also as acquiring the identifier of a member by another method. For example, the identifier of the member keyed in by the worker may be acquired, or the identifier of the member selected by the worker from the list of members displayed on the screen may be acquired.

  As described above, the plan distribution result collection server device 1000, the work terminal device 2000, and the plan development terminal device 3000 of the embodiment can be configured using a computer such as a personal computer and stored in a storage unit such as a hard disk. The performance information setting unit 1300 and the like described above are functionally configured in the computer by executing software programmed with the start determination method and the like.

  Each functional unit may be distributed in a plurality of devices. For example, the plan / result storage unit 1600, the alternative facility storage unit 1700, and the facility terminal information storage unit 1800 of the plan distribution result collection server device 1000 are provided in a server different from the plan distribution result collection server device 1000.

<Data>
Hereinafter, data used in the production management system 100 will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the member-specific production plan data 3610 and a content example thereof.

  The member-specific production plan data 3610 indicates a production plan of a member to be processed (hereinafter referred to as “target member”), and is created by the production plan creation unit 3500 for each target member, and one record is recorded for each process. be registered. The produced member-specific production plan data 3610 is stored in the production plan storage unit 3600 of the plan development terminal device 3000.

  This member-specific production plan data 3610 includes a member name 3611, a member number 3612, a process number 3613, a process content 3614, a plan period 3615, a plan facility 3616, a process group (process Gr) 3617, an actual period 3618, and an actual facility 3619. Consists of.

  The member name 3611 indicates the type of the target member. In the embodiment, the name of the member is set.

  The member number 3612 indicates a member identifier for identifying and distinguishing individual members from a plurality of target members. Therefore, even if the member identifiers indicated by the member numbers 3612 are different, the member names indicated by the member names 3611 may be the same. This member identifier is obtained by converting a barcode or the like written on the identification tag 2003 attached to the target member 2002.

  The process number 3613 indicates the number in the process plan for processing the target member indicated by the member number 3612, and is also the order in the process process plan. A work process which is a target of the production management system 100 includes a plurality of processes. In the embodiment, a plurality of processing steps for one member are assumed, but a step of assembling them for a plurality of members may be used.

  The process content 3614 indicates the content of processing performed in the process having the number indicated by the process number 3613.

  The planned period 3615 indicates a planned period for performing the process having the number indicated by the process number 3613.

  The planned facility 3616 indicates a planned facility for executing processing performed in the process having the number indicated by the process number 3613. Specifically, an equipment identifier for identifying and distinguishing individual equipment from a plurality of equipment is set. In the embodiment, for example, “processing machine 1” and “processing machine 2” are set as the equipment identifier.

  The process group 3617 indicates a group to which the process having the number indicated by the process number 3613 belongs. Specifically, a group identifier for identifying and distinguishing individual groups from a plurality of groups is set. Processes having the same group indicate that they can be replaced. In the embodiment, for example, “machining”, “finishing”, and the like are set as the group identifier.

  In a process targeted by the production management system 100, as shown by a process number 3613, an execution order is determined as a plan, but a process group 3617 can be replaced by a judgment at the site. For example, if the cutting process is a process of cutting each of the upper, lower, left and right surfaces of the member (process number 3613 is a process “1”, “2”, “3”), the surface is cut from any surface as long as they do not interfere with each other. However, the finished state remains unchanged. Therefore, these processes belong to the process group 3617 “processing”. However, for example, the finish polishing process (process with the process number 3613 of “4”) must be performed after the related surfaces have been cut. Further, it is necessary to perform a process such as an overall dimension inspection (process having a process number 3613 of “5” or “6”) after cutting and polishing of all surfaces.

  Therefore, in the production plan data 3610 for each member in FIG. 3, after the process group 3617 “machining” is performed, the process group 3617 “finishing” is performed, and finally, the process group 3617 “inspection” is performed. Is supposed to be done. That is, the order of processes within the same group can be changed, but the order of groups cannot be changed.

  The performance period 3618 indicates a period in which the process of the process indicated by the process number 3613 is actually performed. In the case where the same process is replaced in the group indicated by the process group 3617, a period different from the period indicated by the plan period 3615 is set.

  The track record facility 3619 is an identifier indicating the facility that actually performed the process of the process indicated by the process number 3613. In the case where the same process is replaced by the group indicated by the process group 3617, an equipment different from the equipment indicated by the planned equipment 3616 is set.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of plan / result data 1610 and an example of its contents.

  The plan / actual result data 1610 indicates a production plan of all target members that are processed by the equipment 2001 corresponding to each work terminal device 2000 managed by the plan delivery result collecting server device 1000.

<Operation>
Hereinafter, the operation of the production management system 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the production management process of the production management system 100, and FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the start process in the production management process.

  First, the production plan creator inputs the type of member to be produced (member name) and its delivery date into the production plan formulation system 4000. At that time, the member number (member identifier) is assigned and identified. A tag 2003 is issued and attached to the target member 2002.

  The production plan creator uses the plan development terminal device 3000 to formulate a production plan for each target member. Specifically, the production plan creator operates the operation unit 3300 and inputs a command for instructing creation of a production plan for each member scheduled to be produced. Upon receiving a notification that a command for instructing production plan creation has been input, control unit 3200 requests production plan creation unit 3500 to create a production plan. Upon receiving the request, the production plan creation unit 3500 reads out data necessary for creating the production plan from the production management information storage unit 4200 of the production plan formulation system 4000 via the control unit 3200 and the communication unit 3100, and for each target member. Create a production plan. The production plan creation unit 3500 displays information on the display unit 3400 as necessary, and acquires instructions and data from the production plan creator via the operation unit 3300. The production plan creation unit 3500 causes the production plan storage unit 3600 to store the created production plan for each member (see FIG. 3: production plan data for each member 3610).

  The production plan creation unit 3500, which has finished creating the production plan for each target member, generates the production plan data 3610 for each member of the target member processed by the facility corresponding to the work terminal device 2000 managed by the plan distribution result collection server device 1000. , To the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000.

  The control unit 1200 that has received the member-specific production plan data 3610 via the communication unit 1100 creates the plan / actual data 1610 (see FIG. 4) and stores the created plan / actual data 1610 in the plan / actual storage unit 1600. Store (step S10). You are now ready to start production.

  The operator operates the operation unit 2300 of the work terminal device 2000 and inputs a command for displaying the production plan of the facility in charge. When the control unit 2200 detects that a command for displaying the production plan of the facility is input via the operation unit 2300, the control unit 2200 transmits the terminal identifier of the own device (hereinafter referred to as “target terminal identifier”) via the communication unit 2100. Then, it transmits to the plan distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 (step S20). Note that the control unit 2200 stores the terminal identifier of the own device.

  When receiving the target terminal identifier via the communication unit 1100, the control unit 1200 of the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 passes the received target terminal identifier to the planned distribution unit 1900 and requests distribution of the plan. Upon receiving the request, the plan distribution unit 1900 first searches the facility terminal data 1810 (see FIG. 6) stored in the facility terminal information storage unit 1800 for a record in which the target terminal identifier is set as the work terminal name 1811. The equipment identifier set as the equipment name 1812 of the retrieved record (hereinafter referred to as “target equipment identifier”) is read out. Then, a record in which the target facility identifier is set as the planned facility 1616 is searched from the plan / result data 1610. The control unit 1200 that has searched the corresponding record creates data of the facility-specific plan screen 2310 from the searched record. For example, the plan distribution unit 1900 reads out data necessary for configuring the equipment-specific plan screen 2310 from the data set in the retrieved records, and sets the data in the equipment-specific plan screen 2310. Also, as the previous process progress 2317, the record of the process number with the process number 2315 one before is searched, and the data set as the progress 1621 is set. For example, as the previous process progress 2317 of the process number 2315 “2”, a record in which “A00001” is set as the member number 1611 and “1” is set as the process number 1613 is searched from the actual worker 1620, and the progress 1621 Set “Complete” set as.

  The plan distribution unit 1900 transmits the created screen data to the work terminal device 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier.

  The control unit 2200 of the work terminal device 2000 displays the screen data received from the planned distribution result collection server device 1000 on the display unit 2400. The operator can check the members and processes to be processed by himself / herself, and can also check the processes that have already been completed. In the embodiment, the facility-specific plan screen 2310 is displayed first. However, when desired by the operator, the operation unit 2300 can be displayed.

  Next, the worker reads the identification tag 2003 of the target member 2002 using the member ID detection unit 2600 of the work terminal device 2000. The member ID detection unit 2600 converts the barcode of the read identification tag 2003 to generate an identifier of the target member 2002 (hereinafter referred to as “target member identifier”) and passes it to the control unit 2200. The control unit 2200 transmits the passed target member identifier and the terminal identifier (target terminal identifier) of the own device to the planned distribution result collection server device 1000 via the communication unit 2100 (step S20).

  When receiving the target member identifier and the target terminal identifier via the communication unit 1100, the control unit 1200 of the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 passes the received target member identifier and target terminal identifier to the planned distribution unit 1900. Request distribution of the plan. Upon receiving the request, the plan distribution unit 1900 searches the plan / actual data 1610 for a record in which the delivered target member identifier is set as the member number 1611. The control unit 1200 that has searched for the corresponding record creates data for the member-specific plan screen 2320 from the searched record, and transmits the created screen data to the work terminal device 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier (step S11). In the embodiment, data indicating the production plan of the member is transmitted. However, other information related to the member, for example, accompanying information such as design information and progress record information may be transmitted.

  The control unit 2200 of the work terminal device 2000 displays the screen data received from the planned distribution result collection server device 1000 on the display unit 2400 (step S21).

  Next, the operator operates the operation unit 2300 to instruct whether to perform a completion process or a start process (step S22). For example, a button for instructing completion processing or a button for instructing start processing is pressed. The completion process is a process of inputting that the process of the started process is completed, and the start process is a process of selecting a process to be started next.

  When the worker instructs the start processing, the control unit 2200 that has detected the start processing instruction transmits to the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 that the start processing is detected.

  When the received instruction is a start process (step S12: start process), the control unit 1200 of the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 passes the target member identifier and the target terminal identifier to the result information setting unit 1300 to start the process. Request processing. The record information setting unit 1300 that has received the request performs a start process (step S14).

  Here, the starting process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The performance information setting unit 1300 that has received a request for the start process from the control unit 1200 first determines whether there is a process under start among the processes of the target member indicated by the target member identifier, and instructs according to the determination. Is transmitted to the work terminal device 2000 (step S31). Specifically, the record information setting unit 1300 searches the plan / result data 1610 for a record in which the target member identifier is set as the member number 1611 and “in progress” is set as the progress 1621. When the record is found, the record information setting unit 1300 determines that there is a process underway, and the target terminal identifier indicates a message indicating that the target member specified by the worker is being processed and an end instruction. Transmit to the work terminal device 2000. If the record is not found, the record information setting unit 1300 determines that there is no process underway, and sends a message prompting the operator to select a process to the work terminal apparatus 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier. Send.

  When the received instruction is an end instruction (step S41: end), the control unit 2200 of the work terminal apparatus 2000 displays the received message on the display unit 2400 and ends the start process. If the received instruction is not an end instruction (step S41: process selection), the received message is displayed on the display unit 2400 and waits for the operator's input.

  The operator performs an operation of selecting a process from the member-specific plan screen 2320. For example, a process desired to be started is focused with a cursor and a determination button is pressed. The control unit 2200 acquires the number of the process selected by the operator (hereinafter referred to as “target process number”). For example, the control unit 2200 reads the number set as the process number 2323 of the line focused by the cursor as the target process number. The control unit 2200 that has acquired the target process number transmits the target process number and the target terminal identifier to the planned distribution result collecting server apparatus 1000 (step S42).

  The control unit 1200 of the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 receives the target process number and the target terminal identifier, and passes the received target process number and target member identifier to the result information setting unit 1300. The performance information setting unit 1300 that has been given the target process number passes the target process number and the target terminal identifier to the start determination unit 1400 and requests the start determination unit to determine whether or not to start.

  The start determination unit 1400 that has received the request first determines whether or not there is a process that has not been started in the process before the process indicated by the passed target process number (step S32). Specifically, in the start determination unit 1400, the target member identifier is set as the member number 1611, the process number set as the process number 1613 is set to a number smaller than the target process number, and nothing is set as the progress 1621 A record that is not set, that is, a record for which “not started” is set is searched from the plan / actual data 1610. When the record is found, the start determination unit 1400 determines that there is an unstarted process in the previous process (step S32: Yes).

  The start determination unit 1400 that has determined that there is an unstarted process determines whether the group to which the unstarted process belongs is the same as the group to which the process indicated by the target process number belongs (step S33). Specifically, the start determination unit 1400 reads the group identifier set as the process group 1617 in the record in which the target member identifier is set as the member number 1611 and the target process number is set as the process number 1613. Then, the read group identifier is compared with the group identifier set as the process group 1617 in the records of all unstarted processes, and when there is at least one record with a different group identifier, the start determination unit 1400 It is determined that the group to which the unstarted process belongs is not the same as the group to which the process indicated by the target process number belongs (step S33: No). The start determination unit 1400 that has determined that the group to which the process that has not started belongs is not the same as the group to which the process indicated by the target process number belongs is returned to the performance information setting unit 1300 that the start is not allowed.

  The performance information setting unit 1300 that has received the determination that the start cannot be performed transmits a re-input instruction to the work terminal device 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier.

  If it is determined in step S32 that there is no unstarted process in the previous process (step S32: No), or in step S33, the group to which the unstarted process belongs is the group to which the process indicated by the target process number belongs. When it is determined that they are the same (step S33: Yes), the start determination unit 1400 determines whether or not the facility for processing the target member is a planned facility (step S34). Specifically, the start determination unit 1400 first searches the facility terminal data 1810 (see FIG. 6) stored in the facility terminal information storage unit 1800 for a record in which the target terminal identifier is set as the work terminal name 1811. Then, the facility identifier (target facility identifier) set as the facility name 1812 of the retrieved record is read. The start determination unit 1400 that has read the target equipment identifier is a record registered in the plan / actual data 1610, in which the target member identifier is set as the member number 1611, and the target process number is set as the process number 1613. Then, the facility identifier set in the planned facility 1616 is compared with the target terminal identifier.

  When the facility identifier set in the planned facility 1616 is the same as the target terminal identifier, the start determination unit 1400 determines that the facility is a planned facility (step S34: Yes), and the result information setting unit 1300 Returns a decision to start.

  The record information setting unit 1300 that has received the determination that the start is possible performs a start start process (step S37). Specifically, the record information setting unit 1300 is a record registered in the plan / result data 1610, in which the target member identifier is set as the member number 1611, and the target process number is set as the process number 1613. The actual date is set as the start date for the actual period 1618, the target facility identifier is set as the actual facility 1619, and the identifier of the worker who is in charge of the current work of the facility indicated by the target facility identifier Set as worker 1620. The plan / result storage unit 1600 stores the schedule of the worker in charge of the work of each facility, and the record information setting unit 1300 displays the current worker of the facility indicated by the target facility identifier as the plan / result. It is read from the storage unit 1600 and set. Then, the performance information setting unit 1300 transmits a start OK instruction to the work terminal device 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier.

  In step S34, when the facility identifier set in the planned facility 1616 is not the same as the target terminal identifier, the start determination unit 1400 determines that the facility is not a planned facility (step S34: No), and the target facility identifier indicates. It is determined whether the facility is a substitute facility for the planned facility (step S35). Specifically, the start determination unit 1400 first searches the plan / actual data 1610 for a record in which the target member identifier is set as the member number 1611 and the target process number is set as the process number 1613. In the record, the member name set as the member name 1612 and the process content set as the process content 1614 are read. The start determination unit 1400 that has read the member name and the process content stores, in the alternative equipment storage unit 1700, a record in which the read member name is set as the member name 1711 and the read process content is set as the process content 1712. It searches from the alternative equipment data 1710 (see FIG. 5). It is determined whether the target equipment identifier is set as the equipment identifier set as the executable equipment 1713 of the retrieved record.

  If the same equipment identifier as the target equipment identifier is not set as the executable equipment 1713, the start determination unit 1400 determines that the equipment indicated by the target equipment identifier is not an alternative equipment (step S35: No), A determination that the start is impossible is returned to the record information setting unit 1300.

  The performance information setting unit 1300 that has received the determination that the start cannot be performed transmits a re-input instruction to the work terminal device 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier.

  On the other hand, when the same equipment identifier as the target equipment identifier is set as the executable equipment 1713, the start determination unit 1400 determines that the equipment indicated by the target equipment identifier is an alternative equipment (step S35: Yes). ), It returns to the performance information setting unit 1300 whether or not it is possible to start with an alternative facility.

  The record information setting unit 1300 that has received the determination that the alternative equipment can be started transmits a warning display instruction to the work terminal device 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier (step S36), and performs a start start process (step S37).

  In step S42, when the control unit 2200 of the work terminal apparatus 2000 that has transmitted the target process number and the target terminal identifier to the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 receives the instruction from the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000, the control unit 2200 displays the contents of the instruction. Judgment is made (step S43).

  When the received instruction is a re-input instruction (step S43: re-input), the control unit 2200 displays a message prompting the worker to select a process on the display unit 2400 and waits for the operator's input. (Step S42). On the other hand, when the received instruction is a warning display instruction (step S43: warning), the control unit 2200 requests the warning notification unit 2500 to issue a warning. Upon receiving the request, the warning notification unit 2500 displays a warning message on the display unit 2400 that the facility is not a planned facility. When the received instruction is a start OK instruction, the control unit 2200 displays a message on the display unit 2400 that the work can be started.

  In step S22 of FIG. 10, when the operator instructs completion processing, the control unit 2200 that has detected the completion processing instruction transmits to the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 that the completion processing has been performed.

  When the received instruction is a completion process (step S12: completion process), the control unit 1200 of the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 passes the target member identifier and the target terminal identifier to the result information setting unit 1300 and completes the process. Request processing. Upon receiving the request, the record information setting unit 1300 performs a completion process (step S13). Specifically, a record in which the target member identifier is set as the member number 1611 and the target terminal identifier is set as the actual equipment 1619 is searched from the plan / actual data 1610, and the current period as the actual period 1618 of the retrieved record is searched. The date is set as the end date, and “complete” is set as the progress 1621. If “being started” is not set as the progress 1621 at the retrieved stage, the completion process is not performed.

  The control unit 1200 that has finished the start process of step S14 or the completion process of step S13 performs a predetermined end process and transmits a process notification to the work terminal device 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier (step S15). In the work terminal apparatus 2000, the control unit 2200 that has received the end notification performs a predetermined end process and displays a message indicating that the process has ended on the display unit 2400 (step S23).

The member-by-member plan screen 2340 is a process plan for the target member, similar to the member-by-member plan screen 2320, and the operator reads the identification tag of the target member using a barcode reader or the like of the member ID detection unit 2600. Is displayed.

  The items displayed on the member-specific plan screen 2320 and the member-specific plan screen 2340 are the same. However, the displayed processes are different. That is, in the member-by-member plan screen 2320, all processes to be processed for the target material indicated by the member number 2322 are displayed. On the other hand, on the member-by-member plan screen 2340, only the process that is underway among the processes for the target material indicated by the member number 2322, or only the process that can be started by the worker at the time of display is displayed. Therefore, the operator only needs to complete the displayed process or select a process to start from the displayed process. Rather than judging whether or not to perform the operation after selecting the process for the operator to start input, based on the progress results at that time, only the processes that can be performed are presented to the worker in advance and selected from the processes. Therefore, the workability of the operator can be further improved. In FIG. 9, processes that can be started are displayed. However, when there is a process that is underway, only the process that is underway is displayed.

  The operation of the production management system 100 in this modification will be described using the flowchart of FIG. 10 of the embodiment. Here, only differences from the embodiment will be described.

  In the embodiment, in step S11, the plan delivery unit 1900 of the plan delivery result collection server apparatus 1000 searches the plan / result data 1610 for a record in which the target member identifier is set as the member number 1611, and the member from the found record. The data of the separate plan screen 2320 is created, and the created screen data is transmitted to the work terminal device 2000 indicated by the target terminal identifier.

  In the modified example, before creating this screen data, if there is a process that is underway from the records retrieved from the plan / actual data 1610, the process is selected as a process that can be completed, and the process that is underway. If there is no, select a process that can be started. Then, screen data of the member-specific plan screen 2340 is created from the selected record. Specifically, for each record, the start determination unit 1400 performs start processing for the process of the record (processing in step S14). Specifically, first, the plan distribution unit 1900 requests the start determination unit 1400 to determine whether or not there is a process being started. The start determination unit 1400 that has received the request performs the process of step 31 in FIG. In other words, if there is a process being started from the records retrieved from the plan / actual data 1610, the process is selected as a process that can be completed. Then, the plan distribution unit 1900 creates screen data of the member-specific plan screen 2340 from the records selected as processes that can be completed by the start determination unit 1400.

  When there is no process under start, the plan distribution unit 1900 requests the start determination unit 1400 to start the process for all records. Upon receiving the request, the start determination unit 1400 performs the processes of steps S32 to S36 in FIG. That is, it is determined whether the process of each record is a process that can be started, and if it can be started, it is selected as a process that can be started. Then, the plan distribution unit 1900 creates screen data of the member-specific plan screen 2340 from the record selected by the start determination unit 1400 as a process that can be started. Note that an instruction to the work terminal apparatus 2000 as shown in FIG. 11 is not transmitted.

  In step 22, the operator instructs start processing or completion processing while viewing the displayed member-specific plan screen 2340. In the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000, when the start process is instructed, only the process of step S37 in FIG. 11 is performed.

  By determining the processes that can be started in this way, it becomes possible to perform flexible production management that makes it possible to achieve both a process change or equipment change based on on-site judgment and an overall plan that should be kept at a minimum.

  In order to express the present invention, the present invention has been properly and fully described through the embodiments with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art can easily change and / or improve the above-described embodiments. It should be recognized that this is possible. Therefore, unless the modifications or improvements implemented by those skilled in the art are at a level that departs from the scope of the claims recited in the claims, the modifications or improvements are not covered by the claims. To be construed as inclusive.

  In the embodiment, the determination as to whether or not this can be started is performed by the planned distribution result collection server apparatus 1000 and the result is transmitted to the work terminal apparatus 2000. It is good also as transmitting to the distribution performance collection server apparatus 1000. FIG. In this case, for example, a start determination unit 1400, an alternative facility storage unit 1700, and the like are provided in the work terminal device 2000, and it is determined whether each work terminal device 2000 can start a process. 1000.

  In the embodiment, the warning is issued only when the facility that actually performs the work is different from the planned facility. However, the warning may be issued even when the process is switched.

  In the embodiment, the process is selected while viewing the member-specific plan screen 2320. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operator may input the equipment. When an operator selects equipment by mistake, it is good also as giving a warning or making it impossible to start.
