JP7309170B2 - PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM, PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT METHOD AND PROGRAM - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a product development support system, product development support method, and program used in product development processes.

The product development flow during the development period generally includes product planning - design - production technology design - mold design and production - mold and production trial production. For product development, it is necessary to transfer production information (molds and equipment) to the production team (mass production) within a set period for product sales. The so-called production preparation period is considered to be the development period.

The problem in development is that the examination work returns to the previous process due to insufficient examination called "rework" between each process from design to mold prototyping. The rework greatly affects the development period, design quality, and mass production quality. Of course, there is a risk of serious problems such as profits, productivity, quality evaluation in the market, or market complaints, and each company is making various efforts to improve the "quality" and "period" of product development.

The authority management screen is a screen for defining functions that can be operated by a user, and is a screen for setting and defining so that only functions used by system administrators, designers, and on-site users can be seen.

<Launch list screen 110>
The launch list screen 110 is a screen for displaying a list of information on examination items for a plurality of examination items, information on the process of examining the examination items, and information on the end of examination of the examination items. Also, the launch list screen 110 functions as a launch information input section at the time of launch. That is, at the time of launch, the user inputs information on the above-mentioned study items, information on the process of studying the study items, and information on the end of study of the study items from this launch list screen.
Here, the consideration item typically refers to an item to be considered (for example, a gate) that may be a concern or a problem. Launching is typically what the user raises when discovering such considerations.

An example of the launch list screen 110 is shown in FIG. The launch list screen 110 typically displays one line per consideration. Display items for one consideration item include status, EMD, event, occurrence process, comment, image, person in charge of countermeasures, delivery date, countermeasure details, countermeasure result, countermeasure confirmation person, countermeasure completion date, launch date, product name, They are part code, part name, event, factor, and manufacturing requirements.

The status displays unaddressed, confirmed response, waiting for confirmation of response, etc. for the item to be considered.
EMD has determined that a problem was raised and no problem occurred before the product was released (E), a problem was raised and a problem was raised before the product was released (M), or the product EMD information indicating either (D) that a problem occurred because the problem could not be raised before the drawing was issued.

When the user selects one line from the list and presses the send mail button 113, the e-mail is activated by the mailer, and the e-mail address of the storage unit 11 of the server 10 corresponding to the item to be considered in that line is inserted into the text of the e-mail. be. The user puts the e-mail address of the person in charge in the destination of the e-mail and sends the e-mail. For example, when the user is in charge of the prototyping process, the user enters the address of the person in charge of product design or mold design and sends an e-mail.
When the user selects one line from the list and presses the manufacturing requirements button 114, the manufacturing requirements screen 130 corresponding to that line is activated.

<Launch details screen 120>
An example of the launch details screen 120 is shown in FIG.
On the launch details screen 120 shown in FIG. 4, product name, part code, part name, status, EMD, event, occurrence process, event, factor, launch date, delivery date, countermeasures person in charge of one launch item are displayed. , countermeasure confirmation person, and countermeasure completion date are displayed.
The launch details screen 120 displays a comment column 121, a registration button 122, and a manufacturing requirements button 123 in addition to the above input items.

In the comment column 121, a pull-down menu 121a displays the position of the comment or image data, such as problem presentation, countermeasure content, or result confirmation, and reference numeral 121b displays image data such as drawings. 121c displays the registration date of the comment, 121d displays the name of the user who entered the comment, and 121e displays the input comment.

When the user adds a comment or the like and presses the registration button 122 , the information in the comment field 121 is registered in the storage unit 11 .

A comment column 121 is displayed in chronological order on the launch detail screen 120 . For example, the comment column 121 is displayed from top to bottom in the order in which comments are entered, and different columns are displayed according to the person who entered the comment. In the example of FIG. 4, the comment field 121 (C1) and the comment field 121 (C3) are from the comment input person X, and the comment 121 (C2) is from the comment input person Y. First, comment input person Y responds to the input in comment field 121 (C1) as a comment by comment input person X in comment field 121 (C2). answering. As the number of comment input persons increases, the number of columns of vertical comments increases.

When the user presses the manufacturing requirements button 123 on the launch details screen 120, the manufacturing requirements screen 130 corresponding to the consideration item is activated.

<Manufacturing requirement screen 130>
The manufacturing requirements screen 130 displays manufacturing requirements. Manufacturing requirements are knowledge (design standards) that users refer to in product design and mold design. An example of the manufacturing requirements screen 130 is shown in FIG. In the manufacturing requirements screen 130 shown in FIG. 5, an event 131 represents the current stage.

Event 131 is selected from a pull-down menu. Options include, for example, inquiry, design, release of drawings, trial production, and mass production.
Tree 132 is the category positioning of tree 133 in the center of the screen. In the figure, "mold" is displayed because the design standard for "mold" is currently being viewed. Tree 132 is selected by a pull-down menu. Options include, for example, molds, parts, moldings, and painting.
Confirmation item 134 is a kind of check item. When the trees 132 and 133 are selected, check items are displayed in the confirmation item 134 . For example, when designing a submarine gate, if "submarine gate" is selected in the trees 132 and 133, the confirmation item 134 displays "set at a position where the gate marks are not conspicuous". While looking at the CAD model 135, the user confirms whether or not the gate marks are set at inconspicuous positions. Then, when the user determines that the gate mark is not set at an inconspicuous position, it is launched as an item for consideration.
In the knowledge 136, the confirmation items 134 are represented by file names instead of characters. For example, when the user selects "submarine gate" in the trees 132 and 133, the knowledge 136 registers a gate installation manual and the like.
In the current tiger 137, when the problem of the same event occurs, the details of the launch are registered here. This is to make it clear that, for example, if we were to consider gates at the design stage, problems related to the gates would arise from mold manufacturing, prototyping, or later on. In other words, the current tiger 137 displays knowledge and raw information in real time before it becomes a past trouble.

The user examines the CAD model 135 while looking at the data of the knowledge 136 at the time of product design or mold design. At that time, when the user judges that there are matters to be examined, such as points of concern during designing and the possibility of defects, the matter to be examined is launched. Specifically, the launch registration button 138 on the manufacturing requirements screen 130 is pressed. The terms are converted based on the medical record data, which will be described later, and the consideration items are added to the launch list screen 110 . In other words, items to be considered are added to the input items of the launch list screen 110 in a state in which launch information has already been entered. Therefore, when the launching party (for example, the superior) finds consideration items such as points of concern and the possibility of malfunction regarding items to be examined (for example, gates) while looking at the CAD model 135, he/she selects the corresponding tree 133. Then, if the launch registration button 138 is pressed, the examination item is launched on the launch list screen 110, and as will be described later, the launch list screen 110 has already been replaced with terms that can be understood in mold manufacturing, prototyping, or subsequent sites. ing.

<Collaboration screen 140>
FIG. 6 shows an example of the medical chart joint screen 140. As shown in FIG.
The medical chart joint screen 140 displays the processes launched from the launch list screen 110, for example, the process D of manufacturing the designed mold, the process E of the first prototype using the manufactured mold, and the process F of the second prototype. , production preparation process G, mass production process H, and the first term used in the same meaning as the first term, the process launched from the manufacturing requirement screen 130, for example, the product design process B, used for the product This is a screen in which a second term used in the mold design process C is associated. The data of the medical chart joint screen 140 is created by, for example, a user and accumulated in the accumulation unit 11 of the server 10 .

For example, when the user selects "Structure", "Gate", and "Direct Gate" in the tree 133 in the center of the screen of the manufacturing requirements screen 130 and registers the launch, the Based on the data of reference numeral 142, "formation", "sink" and "gate position setting" are selected for the items of "occurrence process", "event" and "factor" on the launch detail screen 120, respectively.

Also, when registering a launch from the launch list screen 110, select "formation", "sink" and "gate position setting" for the input items of "occurrence process", "phenomenon" and "factor" respectively. When the manufacturing requirements button 114 is pressed, the user can change the tree 133 in the center of the manufacturing requirements screen 130 to "structure" and "gate" based on the data 141 corresponding to the data 142 shown on the medical record screen 140. , and "direct gate" are selected, the manufacturing requirement screen 130 is activated.

As a result, each item on the manufacturing requirements screen 130 is displayed in terms used by the designer, and the launch details screen 120 is displayed in terms used in the field. Discrepancies in considerations can be eliminated.

<Graph screen 150>
The graph screen 150 is typically a screen that displays statistical data in graph form based on the data for displaying the launch list screen 110 accumulated in the accumulation unit 11 of the server 10 .

On the graph screen 150, for example, the number of launches by event is displayed by age as shown in FIG. 7, the number of launches by generation process is displayed as shown in FIG. 8, and the launch ranking is displayed as shown in FIG. or the number of launches by period as shown in FIG. For example, the administrator can view the items to be examined from these graphs displayed on the graph screen 150, and can easily grasp the overall situation regarding the items to be examined.

<How to use each screen>
FIG. 11 shows how the launch list screen 110, the launch detail screen 120, and the manufacturing requirements screen 130 are used in each of the steps A to H.

As shown in FIG. 11, in process A, a launch list screen 110 is used to examine functions at the time of design.
In the product design process B, the manufacturing requirements screen 130 is used to examine functions during design.
In the mold designing step C, requirements for manufacturing are examined using the manufacturing requirements screen 130 . Further, communication is established between the mold manufacturing process D, the first prototype process E, and the production preparation process G via the launch detail screen 120 .
In the mold manufacturing process D, defect information is confirmed using the launch list screen 110, and when the defect is registered, communication is established between the mold design process C via the launch detail screen 120. be done.

In the first prototyping process E, when a defect is registered using the detailed launch screen 120, communication is established between the detailed launch screen 120 and the mold design process C.
In the second prototype process F, the launch list screen 110 is used to confirm defect information, the launch detail screen 120 is used to register countermeasures, and the manufacturing requirements screen 130 is used to confirm the grounds for the countermeasures.
In the production preparation process G, past defect information is confirmed using the launch list screen 110, details of countermeasures are confirmed using the launch details screen 120, and the mold design process is performed via the launch details screen 120. Communication is made with C.
In the mass production process H, the launch list screen 110 is used to confirm defect information, the launch detail screen 120 is used to register the defect, and the manufacturing requirement screen 130 is used to confirm the grounds for countermeasures.

<Summary>
(1) Rework between processes In many cases, items to be examined that span between processes are roughly decided, but in actual development, individual issues arise in product development. We ask the production engineering and mold departments to provide knowledge that the design does not know. Production engineering and molds sometimes issue unreasonable product specifications, unsatisfactory requirements, and design change requests to reduce manufacturing costs. This was not shared between the people in charge or between departments, and development proceeded with insufficient consideration over time.

In the product development support system 1 according to the present embodiment, the comment column 121 of the launch details screen 120 is used to record, for example, QA (questions and answers) between processes and between departments so that information can be shared. As a result, rework between steps can be prevented.
In a predetermined column of the launch detail screen 120, who in the process (department) sent the content and when, similarly, who in which process (department) responded and when was recorded. intuitively and include a response due date to prevent delays.
In addition, on the launch list screen 110, all consideration items are covered and can be stratified by element, department, and person in charge. can.
At the time of DR (design review), a list of examination results and remaining issues can be compiled into information related to the launch list screen 110 and reported.

(2) Consensus building at development events Product development usually proceeds according to the development event schedule. In the meantime, an evaluation meeting such as DR will be held to ensure consistency with each department/process. Commonly called development management. However, it frequently happens that the review is not in time for the DR set during the development event. The reason for this is that the opinions of the participating processes are not gathered before the DR, and the process proceeds. This is because development events and DR holdings have not been managed, and the progress of the DR consideration elements has not been managed.

In the product development support system 1 according to the present embodiment, management of study information between each development process and departments/persons can be consolidated, managed and shared by information related to the launch details screen 120 and the manufacturing requirement screen 130 . Further, from the launch list screen 110, DR examination items are compiled and displayed and managed along with the DR event. Further, in each development event management, development progress and pending matters are managed based on the DR information.

From the above, it is possible to build a consensus at the development event.

(3) Insufficient examination within the process Design, examination, production, and evaluation within the manufacturing process are inconsistent among veterans, mid-career workers, and young workers. Fluctuation occurs. It is ideal to consolidate the know-how of all processes, but even if it is collected, it is necessary to consider each process because the roles and purposes are different. However, if we look at the study items for each process, we see that they are common as study items, just with different perspectives. In short, even if the study items are the same, it can be seen that the judgment for each process is different. If this can be done synchronously, the problem is solved.
In each process/department, there are skilled designers/engineers called veterans and non-skilled workers called mid-career/young people. Hundreds of millions of methods have been proposed to fill the skill gap. Many design support systems are an attempt to organize them as "standards" and share them. In this case, there is a big problem that the standard does not keep up with changes such as new products, manufacturing methods, and material changes.

In the product development support system 1 according to the present embodiment, new standards and standard items are extracted from the information related to the launch list screen 110, the launch details screen 120, and the manufacturing requirements screen 130, and new Anyone can know the latest information by accumulating the information in the knowledge database (accumulation unit 11) as the necessary knowledge. It is also happening now from the production information in the mass production stage as well. In the product development support system 1 according to the present embodiment, a circuit that feeds back defects and countermeasures to design standards and production technology standards is provided, and information related to the launch list screen 110 and the launch details screen 120, such as defect cases, is provided. The production information is incorporated into the knowledge database (storage unit 11) and automatically updated.

As described above, insufficient consideration in the process can be resolved.

Next, application examples of the present invention will be described.
The product development support system according to the present invention can examine not only parts but also assemblies. A typical company handles over 15,000 assembly parts per year, and each of those parts has about 60 considerations. Thus, in a typical company, there are on the order of 15,000 x 60 considerations. Moreover, the number of people in the production engineering department is usually about 200 compared to 1000 people in the design department, and it is not possible at this stage to consider all the matters to be examined. In addition, when considering the future where there will be a shortage of personnel due to the declining birthrate and aging population, it is possible to consider all of them. Therefore, in the product development support system according to the present invention, by extracting and tabulating examination items for each element, it is possible to display knowledge organized for each element.
More specifically, the data constituting the launch details screen 120 shown in FIG. 4 exist for the number of items to be examined, for example, about 15000×60, and these data are extracted and tabulated on an element-by-element basis. For example, these data are extracted and aggregated for each process, such as the mold manufacturing process, the molding process, the coating process, and the assembly process. display.

Such extraction/aggregation is performed as follows.
The occurrence process corresponding to the event on the launch detail screen 120, for example, "sink" in FIG. Here, the process corresponding to the "sink" is the "mold". All considerations, ie the data that make up the launch details screen 120, are grouped by process. Then, a launch detail screen 120, which is the classified data, that is, the extracted and aggregated data, is displayed for each person in charge of each process. Even if the process is performed by an external contractor, that is, outsourced, if the outsourced can display this data, it can be considered to be the same as the person in charge in the factory.
