Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a manufacturing industry that performs assembling work, where parts are purchased from suppliers, and parts are delivered from suppliers in an industry that supplies parts according to assembly schedules while having parts inventory. Applies to the technical field of inventory management and serving methods.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When requesting parts production from a supplier or purchasing purchased parts, the minimum delivery time and delivery cycle of parts differ depending on the supplier in the manufacturing process of the supplier. It is necessary to keep the parts for the delivery cycle of the supplier in stock and distribute them to each workplace according to the assembly schedule. Conventionally, the inventory management method of this part is to manage the inventory by storing parts delivered from suppliers using an automatic warehouse, a rotary rack, etc. This operation method uses the barcode of the delivered parts Yomi Automatic warehouses and rotary racks are stored sequentially in vacant designated locations. Next, according to the sub-assembly for each model number or the small schedule of the total assembly, on the day before the assembly, each part is taken out from the automatic warehouse and rotary rack in order of the serial number, picked, loaded on the serving truck, Once all parts are available, they are delivered to the designated subassembly or total assembly department.

[0003]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the storage space for an automatic warehouse and a rotary rack for parts inventory management must be increased as production increases, resulting in a high investment price. . On the contrary, if the production is reduced, the space is wasted. Also,
When the volume space of automatic warehouses and rotary racks becomes large, the time required to store parts delivered from suppliers, or the time required to prepare parts to be delivered to each workplace, in order to arrange parts on a serial number basis to load parts on delivery tables It takes a lot of time for picking time for automatic warehouse, transportation in rotary rack, and idle running of rotation. In addition, in the case of an increase in production, there is a problem that a great deal of cost is required when an automatic warehouse and a rotary rack are added. In addition, the operations of entering and exiting the automatic warehouse and the rotary rack are not necessarily required, and it is necessary to reduce the inventory to zero. Originally, the delivery from the supplier was delivered to the required department according to the sub-assembly or the small assembly schedule, but the inventory management itself was lost, but at present the safety stock is necessary evil, so this time it is safe The main task is to save labor in stocking and unloading operations with inventory.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] To solve the problem sections such as an increase in storage space, an increase in the number of delivery trucks, and an increase in the number of serving trucks, storage in an automatic warehouse, a rotary rack, etc. as in the past is performed. This time, from the method of inventory management, this time, we will adopt a method of storing and managing inventory on a serving cart determined by the serial number unit. After the completion of the inspection, the parts delivered from the supplier are transported to the serving truck by the automatic carrier every time and loaded, and the parts using the parts are aligned with the schedule of the department that uses the parts when all the parts with the serial numbers are prepared on the serving truck. And transport it to that department.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The outline of the present system will be described with reference to the system flow of FIG. System configuration is serving truck NO
Confirmation 1, serving truck position designation 2, serving truck production number designation 3, parts production number collation 4, delivery truck instruction to automatic delivery vehicle 5, parts loading status confirmation by production number 8, parts configuration transfer 9, and serving truck file 100, It is composed of a serial number-specific component configuration file 101.

Next, the details of the business contents will be described with reference to the business flow of FIG. 2 and the hardware configuration diagram of the serving room of FIG. Serving trolley 1
4 is a carrier 1 when each sub-assembly and total assembly workplace is empty
9 is transported from the workplace to the serving room. Fig. 3
The space 13 where the serving truck is placed is determined like
A serving bar location bar code 1 at each location
0 is set. Since any number of locations can be designated by the number of production units, it can be increased or decreased depending on the production situation. Next, the actual daily work procedure will be described with reference to the work flow diagram 2 and the files in the serving room hardware configuration diagrams 3, 4, and 5. The serving truck 14 transported from each workplace transports the serving truck to a vacant place in each location and places it. The serving bar location barcode 10 and the serving truck barcode 11 are read by the wireless barcode reader 17 and the control center 18. The system sends the data to the system, and confirms the number of the serving truck at each location and the position of the serving truck. The information is stored, for example, as X2 and Y10 in the record position XY of the serving truck NO in the truck file 100 in FIG. Also, as shown in FIG. 5, a part number for each product type is input and stored in advance in the serial number file, and is transferred to the truck file by the part structure transfer 7, and each serving truck NO is set as shown in Table 1. Are stored in the part loading status of the truck file. After the parts delivered from the supplier are accepted by inspection and accepted, the barcodes 12
Is read by the wireless barcode reader 17. Based on the data, the parts configuration for each part number in the serial number file is compared, the part number of the part is read out, the serving table file and the serving table location 13 in the serving room are read out from the serving table file, and the data is sent to the automatic carrier. Send information. The parts are loaded on an automatic carrier, which transports the parts to the serving truck, and transfers the parts to the serving truck. This work is performed at any time after parts are received and inspection is completed. Inventory management of each part is performed on the serving truck for a required period of time. Next, follow the small schedule of sub-assembly and total assembly, follow up at the delivery lead time of the parts of the supplier and follow up if it is not received, reminder, load from the serving truck file on the previous day or two days before A parts inventory distribution system in which the carrier transports the distribution trolley to the required department if the situation is confirmed and all the items are ready.

[0007]

The effects of the present invention are as follows:
It took a lot of man-hours to store the rotary racks and other items, to deliver to the serving truck for serving at each workplace, and to perform the picking work, but this time, the incoming parts were delivered to the serving truck each time and placed on the serving truck. By using a system that performs inventory management, the man-hours for warehousing, warehousing, and picking operations can be significantly reduced. In addition, since the serving space of the serving room can be arbitrarily changed according to increase or decrease in production, there is no extra stock, and there is a great merit in the use of the space.
