Description

  The present invention relates to a production management method and system, and relates to a production process for mass production of products manufactured by combining and assembling a wide variety of parts. Production management method and system for managing the production history information at the parts factory and the production number of the product at the production factory in association with the parts to be assembled into the product when being carried in via the complicated parts distribution channel included About.

  In production factories that produce a wide variety of products (product production factories), information such as the date and time of production and the production quantity for each product that is to be produced a certain period before the start of production based on the production planning system. Develop a production plan including In this production plan, necessary parts are determined for each product to be manufactured, and correspondence information between products and parts is created. When the production plan is created, necessary parts are ordered from the parts ordering department of the production factory to the parts factory through the parts ordering system based on the correspondence relationship information between the products and the parts.

  On the other hand, at the parts factory, the required number of various parts is manufactured and delivered to the product production factory by the delivery date. In the product production factory, the parts receiving department provides the delivered parts to each process of the production line at an appropriate timing. In each process of the production line, on the day of production, a worker in charge assembles each part to the product main body flowing through the production line and manufactures the product.

  In the production process described above, when the parts factory is close to the product production factory, the parts are left in their bare state and are put into the parts container for conveyance and are carried into the parts receiving department of the product production factory.

  On the other hand, when the parts factory is located far from the product production factory, the parts are packed and transported, for example, in a packaging factory in order to prevent accidents such as damage during transportation of the parts. . As an example of the case where the parts factory is remote from the product production factory, the production factory is located overseas and the parts factory is located in Japan. In this way, when the parts factory is located far from the product production factory, the quantity unit of parts transported from the parts factory to the packaging factory and the quantity unit of parts transported from the packaging factory to the product production factory are: Even the same parts are inevitably different because of the different packaging and shape of the storage container. In the packing factory, the parts required for transporting the parts to the product production factory are taken out from the parts containers received from the parts factory as they are naked, and are put into the packing containers for packing processing. As a result, when parts are packed in a packing factory, parts taken out from a plurality of parts containers delivered from one or several parts factories are mixed in the packing container.

  Usually, parts that have been transported from a parts factory to a packing factory are attached with manufacturing history information of the parts in units of parts containers. Therefore, even if the packaging process as described above is performed in the packaging factory, as long as the state of the component container is maintained as it is, the manufacturing history information regarding the component can be accurately transmitted to the product production factory. However, in conventional packaging factories, as described above, because of the packaging process, parts are taken out from the parts container at the packing stage, separated, and the relationship with the parts container is cut off. Currently, it is extremely difficult to communicate to the production plant.

  As a conventional production management system related to the above problem, a production management system disclosed in Patent Document 1 can be cited. According to this production management system, when creating a production plan, information on a warehouse in which completed parts are stored, information on a destination warehouse stored when the parts are used on the production line, The information of the movement route connecting the destination warehouse and the destination warehouse is incorporated into the production plan. For this reason, it becomes possible to manage the movement of parts on a computer constituting a production planning system for creating a production plan. However, the part information managed by the production management system of Patent Document 1 is only the number of parts, and the manufacturing history information of the actually manufactured parts and the movement information of the parts cannot be managed.

Furthermore, a management method disclosed in Patent Document 2 can be cited as a conventional part management method related to the above problem. According to the knockdown production parts management method according to Patent Literature 2, in response to a request for shipping parts, etc., from an assembly place (product production factory side) to a remote shipping place (part factory side), When parts are collected at the shipping location, packed in a packing container, packed and transported to the assembly site, the parts type and quantity are shipped without error by attaching a barcode to each part and attaching a shipping instruction to the packing container. The concept of doing is disclosed. However, Patent Document 2 does not disclose or suggest the technique of managing the manufacturing history information of parts and the product manufacturing number in association with each other.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments (examples) of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  First, an overall product production system to which the production management method and system according to the present invention is applied will be described. In the embodiment, an example of an automobile will be described as a product, but the product is not limited to an automobile. The automobile production system of the present embodiment is when the automobile production factory (or assembly factory) and the parts factory (parts manufacturer or domestic in-house processing factory) that manufactures the parts of the automobile are located in remote locations that are separated from each other. Production system. An order for parts manufacture is made to a parts maker. Here, a parts maker or a domestic in-house processing factory will be described as a “parts factory”. A typical example is a case where a production factory for a product is located overseas and a parts factory for producing a part to be assembled in the product is located in the country. In such a case, a parts factory in Japan receives an order for a part based on the production plan, manufactures the ordered part at the part factory, and then puts the part into a packing container at the packing factory for transportation by ship. Packed and transported to overseas production factories. On the side of overseas production factories, packaging containers for parts that have been transported by ship are collected at a logistics base.

  This will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. Fig. 1 shows the overall configuration of an automobile production system that includes a packaging process stage in the transportation of parts, and Fig. 2 shows the stage of packaging and shipment (export) of parts before and after transportation by ship, and the import and unpacking of parts. FIG. 3 shows the contents and flow of information in the automobile production system, information storage unit, information display (instruction) medium and mode, overall management mechanism, main FIG. 4 shows a flow chart showing the flow of information and the flow of goods.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes an automobile production factory (assembly factory). In the automobile production factory, the automobile is completed by sequentially assembling and assembling a wide variety of parts carried in along the production line. Therefore, the production factory 11 is also referred to as an assembly factory 11 here. There are 30 assembly factories overseas. On the other hand, the parts factory 12 is assumed to be in Japan 10. Actually, a large number of various parts are required to complete the automobile, and there are many parts factories. In this example, only one part factory 12 is shown for convenience of explanation. As described above, in the automobile production system according to this embodiment, the parts factory 12 is located away from the assembly factory 11 across the sea, and is located at a position where the sea is interposed in the transportation route. Therefore, in order to transport the parts produced in the parts factory 12 to the assembly factory 11, a transportation process 20 by the ship 13 is included in the middle of the transportation route.

  As described above, when the assembly factory 11 and the parts factory 12 are located at a distance from each other, and the transportation process 20 by the ship 13 exists in the middle of the assembly factory 11, it is necessary to perform the packaging process of the parts for transportation by the ship 13. Therefore, at the next stage of the parts factory 12, a packing factory (packing manufacturer) 14 for performing packing processing is provided in a place relatively close to the parts factory 12. The parts manufactured and completed at the parts factory 14 are accommodated in the parts container 15 for conveyance as they are, sent to the packing factory 14 by a truck, and carried into the packing factory 14. In the packing factory 14, a part is taken out from the carried-in part container 15 and subjected to a packing process to make a packing container 16. The produced packaging container 16 is transported to the ship 13 by truck and loaded on the ship 13. The packaging container 16 is transported by ship 13 to 30 regions overseas where the assembly plant 11 is located, imported into the region, and carried to a logistics base 17 in the region. The distribution base 17 is provided with a warehouse for imported parts, and the parts are taken out from the packing container and stored in the warehouse. The parts are paid out from the warehouse according to the production plan and transported to the assembly factory 11 by truck.

  In the automobile production system described above, the parts production command to the parts factory 12 is given when the automobile (product) production plan 18 is created. Information relating to the production plan 18 is given to the parts factory 12 and the assembly factory 11. Information relating to the production plan 18 given to the parts factory 12 is given via the maritime system 42. In the maritime system 42, information related to packing is created, and the information related to packing is given to the packing factory 14. The location of the department and the system that creates the production plan 18 may be any place in Japan 10 or overseas 30.

  Details of the packing factory 14 and the distribution base 17 will be described with reference to FIG. The parts factory 12 that has received the order for the parts manufactures the parts and delivers the completed parts to the orderer. At this time, the completed component is accommodated in the component container 15 while being bare. The parts container 15 is attached with a product tag 21 in which manufacturing history information such as a manufacturing lot number related to the housed parts is entered (recorded). The parts container 15 to which the actual product slip 21 is attached is mounted on a truck 22 and is transported to the packing factory 14 by the truck 22.

  The packing factory 14 takes out the parts container 15 carried in by the truck 22 and takes out a necessary number of parts from the parts container 15 in the packing place 15 a and packs them in the individual packaging 23. Packing of parts into the individual packaging 23 is performed by a packaging operator in accordance with the instruction of the individual packaging F 25 issued from the individual packaging F issuing machine 24. As will be described later, the individual packaging F 25 is issued by determining the number of parts to be divided based on a packaging instruction sheet 26 created by a packaging plan. Here, “individual packaging F” means part number, part name, quantity, order number. , P / CNo. (Purchase Agreement No.) is an EF (pictograph).

  When the individual packaging 23 is created, the packing operator causes the terminal 27 to read the information entered in the individual packaging F 25 and the manufacturing history information entered in the actual product slip 21. Here, the individually mounted part and the manufacturing lot number of this part are linked (process P11). This association information is input and recorded in a production history management database (manufacturing history management D / B) 28 for production management. At the same time, a manufacturing history F (manufacturing history pictogram or manufacturing history tag) is issued (P12), and a manufacturing history F 31 is issued from the manufacturing history F issuing machine 29. The manufacturing history F 31 is also referred to as a “lot management F”, and is a combination of the contents of each information of the individual packaging F and the actual product slip. The packaging operator attaches the issued manufacturing history F 31 to the individual package 23.

  The individually packaged parts are packed in the packing container 16 having the number indicated by the manufacturing history F31. Further, the packing container 16 is then packed in a container 32 whose unique number is managed and mounted on a truck 33 and carried on the ship 13, and is then shipped to the distribution base 17 of the assembly plant 11. The

  In the above, in the production history management database 28 for production management, information relating to the association between the production history information such as the production lot number of parts and the individual packaging information is recorded.

  In FIG. 2, reference numeral 34 denotes an order receiving system. The order receiving system 34 is provided with the information of the production plan 18, searches for parts on the basis of the production plan, and orders parts from the parts factory 12. Information on the ordered parts is provided to the manufacturing history management database 28 and stored.

  On the assembly factory 11 side in the overseas 30, after receiving the container 32, it is transported to the distribution base 17. At the distribution base 17, the packing container 16 is taken out from the container 32, and the individual package 23 is taken out from the packing container 16 and unpacking is performed. The unpacked individual package 23 is stored in the parts warehouse 17a. Thereafter, the individual package 23 corresponding to the production plan is paid out to the assembly factory 11. The individual package 23 to which the manufacturing history F 31 is attached is transported to the assembly factory 11 by a truck 35.

  In the distribution base 17, the terminal 36 sends information (37) relating to receipt, unpacking, and delivery to the manufacturing history management database 28.

  In the assembly factory 11, a necessary amount of parts received in units of individual packages 23 is provided to each process of the production line, and the parts are assembled in an automobile (product) 38 and used for the production. In the assembly plant 11, automobiles are produced according to the production plan 18. At this time, the car number information (manufacturing number) of the automobile 38 and the manufacturing history information of the parts obtained from the manufacturing history F 31 are linked and recorded through the terminal 39. Information relating to the association between the production number of the automobile and the production history information of the parts assembled thereto is sent to the production history management database 28 and stored therein.

  Next, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 and the like, the assembly factory and the parts factory are separated from each other, and the finished parts are packed in the parts factory, transported and transported to assemble the products in the assembly factory. Details the method and system.

  The production plan 18 that is planned prior to the start of production shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 includes information on the date of production, the date of local delivery, the model, and the number of vehicles produced at the assembly plant 11. This production plan 18 is an overseas production plan for automobiles. FIG. 5 is a table 18 a showing the contents of the production plan 18. As shown in FIG. 5, the production plan table 18a is provided with a production date column 101, a local carry-in date column 102, and columns 103 and 104 for models (for example, “accord” and “CR-V”). . The local delivery date shown in the local delivery date column 102 is the date when the parts are provided to the assembly plant 11. In the model columns 103 and 104, model names and order lot numbers corresponding to the production dates for each model name are shown. And the number is shown. The total number of units for each model is described in units of a certain period with respect to the production date.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the production plan 18 is created, information related to the production plan is provided to an order receiving system 34 and an assembly line control (ALC) 41 of the assembly plant 11. Is done. Information relating to the production plan is given to the host of the order receiving system 34. The order receiving system 34 searches for a list of parts manufactured in Japan and supplied to the assembly factory 11, orders shipped parts to the parts factory 12, and provides shipped parts information to the maritime system 42. Shipped parts are manufactured at a parts factory 12 in Japan, and shipped and transported to an overseas assembly factory 11. In FIG. 3, the component face searched by the order receiving system 34 is created and saved as a global parts table 43.

  FIG. 6 shows a simple example of the required amount development of parts performed by the order receiving system 34. When the model is "Accord", the engine is first disassembled into a body, the engine is then disassembled into a camshaft and a plug, and the body is disassembled into a tire or the like. For each final part, the number of orders depends on the total number of production plans.

  When the component face and the number of orders are determined as described above, a table 105 relating to the part order shown in FIG. 7 is created. In the table 105, on the basis of each part to be ordered, the number, and the production date 106 of the automobile at the assembly plant 11, the delivery date (10 days before the production date) 107 to the assembly plant 11, the loading date of the ship 13 (carry-in) The date of execution (packaging) 108 (7 days before the ship mounting date) 109 is recorded. The part ordering to the parts factory is performed based on the contents of the table 105 including the part contents, the number of parts, and the delivery schedule.

  The parts factory 12 manufactures the ordered parts, and delivers the parts container 15 accommodated with the parts left naked to the manufacturer. In this case, as described above, the parts factory 12 delivers the completed parts to the packing factory 14 in the parts container 15. At this time, the above-described actual product slip 21 is attached to the component container 15, and the manufacturing history information related to the manufacturing lot number of the component is entered in this actual product slip 21. One actual product slip 21 is created and attached to each part lot to be delivered. In the parts factory 12, since the number of delivered parts is determined according to the parts in the parts lot to be delivered, the parts factory 12 is not delivered according to the individual packaging 23 described above.

  The maritime system 42 creates a shipment plan and a packaging plan 44 for the parts ordered from the parts factory 12 to the assembly factory 11 based on an instruction from the production plan 18. The production plan 18 in the overseas production system that manufactures parts in Japan and produces automobiles overseas is a complicated distribution form and includes the transportation process 20 described above. Created. In the packaging plan 44, the packaging procedure is developed in the order of the ship 13, the container 32, the packaging container 16, and the individual packaging 23 described above.

In FIG. 11, the table 60 and the manufacturing history management ledger 45 are shown together so that they can be compared.

  In the table 60, the Japanese side where the parts factory 12 is located is shown as an EXPORT (export) side 61, and the overseas side where the production factory 11 is located is shown as an IMPORT (import) side 62. The EXPPORT side 61 includes a process management cooperation data (manifest data) portion 63, an individual package F information portion 64, and an actual product slip information portion 65. The part 63 of the process management cooperation data (manifest data) is data from the production plan 18, the part 64 of the individual packaging information is data from the maritime system 42, and the part 65 of the actual product slip information is from the actual product slip 21. It is data. On the other hand, on the IMPORT side 62, data of unpacking date, line payout date, and payout number are shown. “Unpacking date” is local delivery result data, and “Line payout date” and “Number of payouts” are assembly payout data. The data included in the table 60 is exactly the same as the data in the manufacturing history management ledger as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 12, an example of the packaging form in the transportation process of the components to the production factory 11 by this embodiment is shown. The direction toward the arrow 71 is the upstream side as the component flow. The most upstream is the above-described parts table 43. This parts table 43 is a parts list sent from Japan where parts are manufactured to the overseas production factory 11. In the next stage group 72, parts are divided according to part characteristics and destinations. The next-stage module 73 is obtained by dividing the number of parts together in consideration of transportation costs. This module 73 corresponds to the packaging container 16 described above. The next stage is the stage of the individual packaging 23 described above. In the individual packaging 23, individual packaging is produced for each part in a specified number according to the individual packaging. In this example, 18 pieces are divided into three pieces for individual packaging. In this example, it is assumed that the delivery from the parts factory is delivered in units of 36, for example, and one actual product slip is attached to the 36 parts. The quantity of parts delivered in the parts container 15 such as a packet is determined by the number of delivery lots depending on the parts, and cannot be delivered according to individual packaging. Therefore, parts other than those to be individually packaged out of 36 are in stock.

  In the above embodiment, the transportation process 20 has been described as transportation by ship, but is not limited to this, and may be an airplane or the like.

  The configurations, shapes, sizes, and arrangement relationships described in the above embodiments are merely schematically shown to the extent that the present invention can be understood and implemented, and numerical values are merely examples. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the technical idea shown in the claims.

  Even if the parts are packaged and transported in parts manufacturing in Japan or production at an overseas production factory, the present invention manufactures the product serial number and the parts assembled to the product at the production factory. It can be used to link history information.
