Description

  The present invention relates to a parts ordering system and the like for ordering parts.

In a product manufacturing site, there may be a case where a product of a predetermined quantity cannot be manufactured due to a product manufacturing failure or the presence of defective parts. In such a case, the person in charge of the manufacturing department or the person in charge of the parts procurement department confirms the type and number of parts that are missing so that a product of the expected quantity can be manufactured. A new order for the parts in stock was being made.
As a related technique, a system for predicting the yield of products has been developed (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP-A-5-135068 (first page, FIG. 1 etc.)

  However, it is a very complicated task for a person in charge in the manufacturing department or the like to check the type and quantity of parts that are lacking due to a product manufacturing failure or the like. For this reason, the more types and quantities of parts used in the manufacturing process, the more likely mistakes will be made to make mistakes in the types and quantities of the missing parts. In such cases, it was assumed in advance. There arises a problem that a quantity of products cannot be manufactured, or an excessive quantity of parts is supplied.

On the other hand, according to Patent Document 1, it is possible to predict the yield in product units. Therefore, by placing an order for parts that are predicted to be insufficient in advance in units of products, it is possible to avoid a situation where parts are insufficient in the manufacturing process. However, if there is a defective part, or if a manufacturing failure of a semi-finished product occurs in the middle of manufacturing, even if you have ordered parts that are predicted to be insufficient, For parts other than defective parts, parts that have not yet been used for semi-finished products, etc., surpluses may occur. Specifically, when a product is manufactured from part A, part B, and part C, if there is a defective product in part A, only one part A is missing. If the manufacture of a semi-finished product composed of A and part B fails and the semi-finished product is discarded at that stage, the parts A and B are only insufficient one by one. On the other hand, if the parts are ordered together as part A, part B, and part C, the parts B and C are left in the former case, and the parts C are left in the latter case. It becomes. In addition, since the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is a prediction, if the prediction is lost, naturally, there is an excess inventory of parts or a shortage of inventory.
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a parts ordering system or the like that can be made into an appropriate stock.

In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a parts ordering system including a scrap information processing apparatus and a parts ordering apparatus, wherein the scrap information processing apparatus receives the scrap information that is information regarding the scrap. An information receiving unit, a failed part information storage unit that stores information on a failed part that is information related to the part of the damaged part, and the failed part based on the received failure information received by the failed information receiving part. A failed part information update unit that updates information; and a failed part information transmission unit that transmits the failed part information to the parts ordering apparatus. A failed part information receiving unit that receives the sent damaged part information, a storage part that stores the failed part information received by the failed part information receiving unit, and the lost part information stored by the storage unit; And an ordering department for placing an order on a part that has been scrapped , It is intended.
With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately place an order for a lost part in response to the occurrence of a lost part in the manufacturing process. As a result, inventory can be managed appropriately.

  In the component ordering system according to the present invention, the component ordering device further includes a production plan information storage unit that stores production plan information that is information related to a product production plan, and the ordering unit includes the storage unit. May place an order for parts on the basis of the failed parts information accumulated by the manufacturer and the production plan information.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to place an order based on the damaged part information and an order based on the production plan information in a single order, and the processing at the ordering party can be facilitated. Further, according to such a configuration, for example, when a certain number of minimum order units (for example, 1000 units) are set, a small amount (for example, 20 units) of damaged parts can be ordered. Then, a large amount of orders (for example, 800 pieces) based on the production plan are made together. Here, in the case of placing an order separately based on the lost parts information and the production plan information, the order of 1000 parts, which is the minimum order unit, is made only by the occurrence of 20 lost parts. Then, 1000 parts are ordered again for 800 parts necessary for the production plan, and 1180 extra parts are generated in total. On the other hand, when placing an order based on the failed part information and the production plan information, 1000 parts are ordered for 820 necessary parts, and the surplus parts are limited to 180 parts. be able to. In this way, it is possible to avoid placing an order for parts in the minimum order unit only by placing a small amount of damaged parts, and it is possible to avoid a situation in which a large amount of surplus inventory occurs.

  According to the parts ordering system and the like according to the present invention, it is possible to appropriately place an order for a damaged part in response to the occurrence of a damaged part in the manufacturing process. As a result, inventory can be managed appropriately.

(Embodiment 1)
A parts ordering system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a parts ordering system according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 1, the parts ordering system according to the present embodiment includes a manufacturing apparatus 1, a scrap information processing apparatus 2, and a parts ordering apparatus 3 that are connected to each other via a wired or wireless communication line 4.

The manufacturing apparatus 1 is an apparatus that manufactures a product from a plurality of parts, and transmits defect information to the defect information processing apparatus 2 at a predetermined timing. Here, the predetermined timing may be every predetermined period (for example, every day at 2:00 am, etc.), and a predetermined event (for example, a case in which a certain amount of waste information has accumulated or a failure information) It may be triggered by receiving a transmission request from the processing device 2), or may be at another timing. The failure information is information regarding the failure, for example, information indicating the number of failed components, or information indicating that a failed component has occurred. For example, the defective parts are (1) a part that was defective before the product was manufactured in the manufacturing apparatus 1, and (2) it was defective at the manufacturing (assembly) stage (cannot be used for manufacturing). These are parts, (3) products that have failed to be manufactured, or parts that have been used in semi-finished products (those before the completion of manufacturing). As the case of (1), for example, there is a case where defective parts are mixed in the parts supplied to the manufacturing apparatus 1. As a case of (2), for example, there is a case in which a part is damaged when the part is incorporated in the manufacturing stage. In the case of (3), the semi-finished product may be damaged due to malfunction of the manufacturing apparatus 1 during the manufacturing. In addition, the occurrence of a defective part may be a case where a defective part occurs in the manufacturing process, or a part that was originally a defective part (defective part) is a defective part in the manufacturing process. You may be the case where it recognizes. Although FIG. 1 shows a case where the number of manufacturing apparatuses 1 is one, the parts ordering system may include a plurality of manufacturing apparatuses. The product manufactured by the manufacturing apparatus 1 may be any circuit board or injection molded product.

  In FIG. 1, communication between the manufacturing apparatus 1 and the scrap information processing apparatus 2 and communication between the scrap information processing apparatus 2 and the parts ordering apparatus 3 are performed via the same communication line 4. Although the case where it performs is demonstrated, the communication between the manufacturing apparatus 1 and the scrap information processing apparatus 2 and the communication between the scrap information processing apparatus 2 and the parts ordering apparatus 3 are respectively different. It may be performed via a wired or wireless communication line.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the scrap information processing apparatus 2. The defective information processing apparatus 2 includes a defective information receiving unit 21, a defective component information storage unit 22, a defective component information update unit 23, and a defective component information transmission unit 24.

  The failure information receiving unit 21 receives the failure information transmitted from the manufacturing apparatus 1 via the communication line 4. The defect information receiving unit 21 passes the received defect information to the defective part information update unit 23. Note that the failure information receiving unit 21 may or may not include a receiving device (for example, a network card) for receiving (in this case, the failure information receiving unit 21 and the communication line). 4), a receiving device (not shown) is present. Further, the failure information receiving unit 21 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives the receiving device.

  The lost parts information storage unit 22 stores lost parts information. Here, the lost part information is information related to a lost part. This lost part information indicates, for example, how many lost parts of which type have occurred. The storage in the part information storage unit 22 may be temporary storage of the part information updated by the part information update unit 23 in a buffer memory or the like, or may be a long-term storage in a magnetic disk or the like. It may be memory.

  The failed part information updating unit 23 updates the failed part information stored in the failed part information storage unit 22 based on the failed information received by the failed information receiving unit 21. This update is performed, for example, as accumulation of a new record when there is no record included in the part information stored in the part information storage unit 22 or when an additional record is created. Or, when only the values of some of the fields of the failed parts information (for example, the number of lost parts indicating the number of failed parts) are changed based on the lost information, It may be done as a change.

The failed part information transmitting unit 24 transmits the failed part information stored in the damaged part information storage unit 22 to the part ordering apparatus 3 at a predetermined timing. This timing may be every predetermined period (for example, 2:00 am every day), a predetermined event (for example, reception of a transmission request from the parts ordering device 3 or a record of a predetermined number or more). It may be triggered by the fact that it is included in the damaged part information), or at other timing. Note that the damaged part information transmission unit 24 may or may not include a transmission device (for example, a modem or a network card) for performing transmission (in this case, the defective part information transmission unit). 24 and a communication device (not shown) exist between the communication line 4). Further, the failed part information transmission unit 24 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives the transmission device.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the part ordering apparatus 3. The part ordering device 3 includes a failed part information receiving unit 31, a storage unit 32, a storage unit 33, an ordering unit 34, and an information management unit 35.

  The lost parts information receiving unit 31 receives the lost parts information transmitted from the lost information processing apparatus 2. Then, the received damaged part information is transferred to the storage unit 32. Note that the damaged part information receiving unit 31 may or may not include a receiving device (for example, a network card) for receiving (in this case, the damaged part information receiving unit 31 A receiving device (not shown) exists between the communication line 4). Further, the failed part information receiving unit 31 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives the receiving device.

The accumulating unit 32 accumulates the defective part information received by the defective part information receiving unit 31 in the storage unit 33.
The storage unit 33 stores defective part information. The storage unit 33 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The ordering unit 34 places an order for a damaged part based on the damaged part information stored in the storage unit 32. This ordering is performed, for example, by transmitting ordering information, which is information indicating the contents of ordering, to a device that receives an ordering from an unillustrated ordering party (for example, a parts manufacturer) via the communication line 4. . The ordering unit 34 may or may not include a communication device (for example, a modem or a network card) for performing communication relating to ordering (in this case, the ordering unit 34 and the communication line 4 are not connected). There will be a communication device (not shown) between them). The ordering unit 34 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives a communication device.

  The information management unit 35 performs management related to lost part information and the like stored in the storage unit 33. For example, an administrator who manages the part ordering device 3 can correct the number of defects in the damaged part information stored in the storage unit 33 by the information management unit 35.

Next, the operation of the parts ordering system according to the present embodiment will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the scrap information processing apparatus 2. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the parts ordering apparatus 3.
First, the flowchart of FIG. 4 regarding the operation of the scrap information processing apparatus 2 will be described.

  (Step S101) The failure information receiving unit 21 determines whether or not the failure information has been received. If the defect information is received, the defect information is transferred to the defect part information update unit 23 and the process proceeds to step S102. If not, the process proceeds to step S103.

  (Step S102) Upon receiving the defect information from the defect information receiving unit 21, the defective component information updating unit 23 stores the defective component stored in the defective component information storage unit 22 based on the defect information. Update information. Then, the process returns to step S101. Details of the update operation will be described later.

(Step S <b> 103) The failed part information transmission unit 24 determines whether it is time to transmit the failed part information stored in the failed part information storage unit 22 to the part ordering device 3. Then, if it is time to send the failed part information, the process proceeds to step S104. If not, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S104) The failed part information transmission unit 24 determines whether or not one or more records are included in the failed part information stored in the failed part information storage unit 22. If one or more records are included, the process proceeds to step S105. Otherwise, it is determined that there is no information to be transmitted, and the process returns to step S101. Here, the record is a unit of information included in the failed part information. For example, the record indicates the site code indicating the site to which the manufacturing apparatus 1 in which the failed part has belonged and the number of damaged parts. The number of losses is included.

(Step S <b> 105) The defective part information transmission unit 24 reads one or more records of the defective part information from the defective part information storage unit 22 and transmits the records to the part ordering apparatus 3.
(Step S106) The failed part information transmitting unit 24 passes information indicating the record transmitted in step S105 to the failed part information updating unit 23. Based on the information received from the failed part information transmitting unit 24, the failed part information updating unit 23 deletes the record indicated by the information from the failed part information stored in the failed part information storage unit 22. . Then, the process returns to step S101.

  In this flowchart, the case where the transmitted record is deleted in step S106 is described. However, this is only an example. For example, a predetermined flag is assigned to the transmitted record. May be distinguished from unsent records. In this case, it may be determined in step S104 whether there is an untransmitted record, and only an untransmitted record may be transmitted in step S105. In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the process is terminated by power-off or a process termination interrupt.

Next, the flowchart of FIG. 5 regarding the operation of the component ordering apparatus 3 will be described.
(Step S201) The damaged part information receiving unit 31 determines whether or not the lost part information has been received. If the damaged part information is received, the lost part information is passed to the storage unit 32 and the process proceeds to step S202. If not, the process proceeds to step S203.

(Step S <b> 202) The accumulation unit 32 accumulates the defective part information received from the defective part information receiving unit 31 in the storage unit 33. Then, the process returns to step S201.
(Step S203) The ordering unit 34 determines whether it is time to place an order based on the damaged part information stored in the storage unit 33. If it is time to place an order, the process proceeds to step S204; otherwise, the process returns to step S201.

(Step S204) The ordering unit 34 determines whether the unordered record is included in the damaged part information stored in the storage unit 33. If an unordered record is included, the process proceeds to step S205. If not, the process returns to step S201.
(Step S <b> 205) The ordering unit 34 places an order for parts based on the damaged part information stored in the storage unit 33.

  (Step S <b> 206) The ordering unit 34 records the order date and the like in the record corresponding to the part for which the part has been ordered in the damaged part information stored in the storage unit 33. Then, the process returns to step S201. The specific information to be recorded will be described later.

In the flowchart of FIG. 5, in step S206, the order date and time are recorded for the record corresponding to the ordered part so that the ordered record and the unordered record can be distinguished. However, this is only an example. For example, a record that has been ordered by deleting the ordered record or by giving a predetermined flag indicating that the ordered record has been placed to the ordered record. And unordered records may be distinguished. Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the process is ended by powering off or interruption for aborting the process.

  Next, the operation of the component ordering system according to the present embodiment will be described using a specific example. In the following specific examples, description will be given on the case where the defect information is information indicating the number of defective parts (specific example 1) and the case where the defect information is information indicating occurrence of the defective parts (specific example 2). To do.

[Specific Example 1]
Assume that the manufacturing apparatus 1 transmits the defect information to the defect information processing apparatus 2 every day at 2 am. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the configuration of the failure information. The scrap information includes a header 1001 indicating that the information is “strip information”, a site code 1002 indicating a site to which the manufacturing apparatus 1 belongs, a line code 1003 indicating a line of the manufacturing apparatus 1 at the site, It consists of a part code 1004 for identifying a failed part and a lost number 1005 indicating the number of failed parts.

  Here, at 2:00 am on January 13, 2004, the site code is “rice cooker”, the line code is “SL1”, the part code is “AAA1”, and the number of scraps is “20”. Assume that certain pieces of defect information are transmitted from the manufacturing apparatus 1 to the defect information processing apparatus 2. Then, the defect information is received by the defect information receiving unit 21 (step S101) and transferred to the defective part information update unit 23.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing details of the process of updating the failed part information by the damaged part information updating unit 23 (the process of step S102). FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the damaged part information updated as described above.

  The failed part information updating unit 23 accumulates the received damaged information in the rejected part information storage unit 22 (step S301). Then, an input date, that is, “2004/1/15” is set for the accumulated records (step S302). The record of the failed part information accumulated in this way is the first record of the failed part information shown in FIG. In this way, the failed part information is accumulated sequentially.

  It is assumed that the information processing apparatus 2 is set to transmit the information on the damaged parts every Friday at 11:00 pm. Then, when it is 11:00 pm on Friday, January 16, 2004, it is determined that it is time to transmit the failed part information (step S103). Further, when the failed part information storage unit 22 stores the failed part information shown in FIG. 8, it is determined that there is one or more records (step S104). Then, each record of the failed part information is transmitted to the part ordering apparatus 3 (step S105). Thereafter, the lost part information transmission unit 24 passes an instruction to the lost part information update unit 23 to delete each record of the lost part information stored in the lost part information storage unit 22. As a result, each record of the sent damaged part information is deleted (step S106). In this way, the failure information processing apparatus 2 receives the failure information and transmits the damaged parts information.

The defective part information transmitted from the defective information processing apparatus 2 is received by the defective part information receiving unit 31 of the part ordering apparatus 3 (step S201), and stored in the storage unit 33 by the storage unit 32 (step S202). ). FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the failed part information accumulated in this way. Each record of the failed part information stored in the storage unit 33 includes a planned order number indicating the number of parts to be ordered, an order date indicating the order date, and a candidate delivery date of the ordered part. Are associated with the delivery date candidate field. Among the fields, as for the planned order quantity, the same quantity as the number of lost items is set by the storage unit 32 when the lost part information is stored. The planned number of orders can be changed by the information management unit 35. For example, if a person who manages ordering of parts knows that there are a large number of predetermined parts at the manufacturing site, the planned number of parts ordered is less than the number of scraps. Operations and the like are performed via the information management unit 35.

  Assume that the parts ordering device 3 is set to perform ordering processing at 5 am on Monday. Then, when it is 5:00 am on Monday, January 19, 2004, it is determined that it is the timing of ordering (step S203). Further, when the information shown in FIG. 9 is stored in the storage unit 33, it is determined that there is an unordered record (step S204), and the ordering unit 34 is a defective part stored in the storage unit 33. An order corresponding to each record of information is made (step S205). Specifically, a candidate for delivery date of the part to be ordered is determined, and order information including the delivery date candidate and the site code, line code, part code, and planned order quantity read from each record is transmitted to the ordering party. The ordering unit 34 has a table in which the part code and the address of the ordering party are associated with each other so that the address of the ordering party corresponding to the part to be ordered can be known using the table. Also good. In addition, the delivery date candidate may be determined by inquiring about the delivery date to the information processing apparatus of the supplier, and the desired delivery date in the parts ordering system may be set as the delivery date candidate. It may be determined by other methods.

  After placing the order, the ordering unit 34 enters the ordering date associated with the defective part information stored in the storage unit 33 and the delivery date candidate field with the year and month ( In this case, “2004/1”) and the determined delivery date candidate are recorded (step S206). As a result, the failed part information stored in the storage unit 33 is as shown in FIG. By recording the ordering date and the like for the record after ordering in this way, the ordering unit 34 determines whether there is an unordered record (determination process in step S204). It can be determined that a record in which the year / month field is blank is an unordered record.

  In this manner, when a damaged part is generated in the manufacturing apparatus 1, an ordering process for the damaged part is performed. After that, the parts ordered by transmitting the order information are supplied to the manufacturing apparatus 1 indicated by the site code and the line code.

[Specific Example 2]
In this specific example, it is assumed that, every time a failed part is generated, the manufacturing apparatus 1 transmits the lost information indicating that the failed part is generated to the lost information processing apparatus 2. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the configuration of the failure information. The defect information includes a header 2001 indicating that the information is “defect information”, a manufacturing apparatus code 2002 for identifying the manufacturing apparatus 1, and a component code 2003 for identifying the defective part.

  Here, on January 14, 2004, it is assumed that the defect information having the manufacturing apparatus code “P002” and the part code “AAA2” is transmitted from the manufacturing apparatus 1 to the defect information processing apparatus 2. Then, the defect information receiving unit 21 determines that the defect information has been received (step S <b> 101), and passes the defect information to the defective part information update unit 23.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing details of the process of updating the failed part information by the damaged part information update unit 23 (the process of step S102). FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a correspondence table of manufacturing apparatus codes, site codes, and line codes. Further, FIG. 14 shows the failed part information (FIG. 14A) before being updated based on the lost information, and the lost part information after being updated based on the lost information (FIG. 14B. )) Is a diagram showing an example.

  From the manufacturing device code “P002” included in the received scrap information, the scrap parts information updating unit 23 obtains the site code “rice cooker” and the line code “SL2” corresponding to the scrap information from FIG. Is obtained by referring to the table indicated by (step S401). Then, it is determined whether there is a record corresponding to the received defect information in the deteriorated part information stored in the deteriorated part information storage unit 22 (step S402). Here, assuming that the part information stored at that time is as shown in FIG. 14A, the field code, line code, and part code of the second record are updated as part information. Since the unit 23 corresponds to the received failure information, it is determined that there is a record corresponding to the received failure information. Then, the lost part information update unit 23 increments the number of lost parts in the record by 1 (step S403). Further, the input date of the record is updated to the date at that time (step S404). Here, since the preset input date is the same date as when the number of failures is incremented, there is no change in the field value of the number of failures. In this way, the lost part information updated by the lost part information update unit 23 is as shown in FIG. In this way, the failed part information is updated.

Note that when the part information update unit 23 receives the part information, if there is no record corresponding to the part information, the part information update unit 23 stores the part information in the part information. A new record is created (step S405), and the site code, line code, and part information included in the scrap information are input to the record. Further, “1” is set as the number of failures (step S406). Then, the date at that time is set as the input date (step S407).
Subsequent processing for transmitting information on defective parts and processing for ordering parts in the part ordering apparatus 3 are the same as those in the first specific example, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  As described above, according to the part ordering system according to the present embodiment, the scrap information processing apparatus 2 receives the scrap information transmitted from the manufacturing apparatus 1 and the scrap parts information. , A part information update unit 23 that updates part information based on the part information received by the part information reception unit 21, and part information. And a failed parts information transmitting unit 24 for transmitting the information to the parts ordering device 3, and the parts ordering device 3 for receiving the failed parts information transmitted from the failed information processing device 2. The storage part 32 for storing the part information received by the part information receiving unit 31 and the ordering part 34 for placing an order based on the part information stored by the storage part 32 are provided. Damaged parts due to manufacturing failures or the presence of defective parts in the manufacturing process Respect of occurrence, it is possible to appropriately perform an order of the scrap parts. As a result, an appropriate stock can be obtained.

(Embodiment 2)
A parts ordering system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the parts ordering system according to the present embodiment, parts are ordered based on damaged parts information and production plan information.

In the configuration of the parts ordering system, the scrap information processing apparatus 2 and the parts ordering apparatus 3 according to the present embodiment, the production plan information is stored in the storage unit 33, and the faulty part information and production are stored in the ordering unit 34. Except for the part ordering based on the plan information, it is the same as FIGS. 1 to 3 according to the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
Next, the operation of the part ordering system according to this embodiment will be described. The operation other than the part ordering device 3 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation of the part ordering apparatus 3 according to this embodiment. The processes other than steps S501 to S505 are the same as those in the flowchart of FIG. 5 according to the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  (Step S501) The ordering unit 34 determines whether or not the corresponding production plan information and damaged part information are stored in the storage unit 33. This determination is made, for example, based on whether there is a record with the same field code or part code in the production plan information stored in the storage unit 33 and the damaged part information. If it is determined that the corresponding production plan information and damaged part information are stored, the process proceeds to step S502. If not, the process proceeds to step S503. The production plan information is information related to a product production plan and includes, for example, information on how much a predetermined part is required at which site and line.

  (Step S502) The ordering unit 34 integrates the records of the corresponding production plan information and defective parts information. For example, the records are integrated by adding the planned order number of records of production plan information and the planned order number of records of damaged parts information.

(Step S503) The ordering unit 34 orders parts based on the damaged part information and the production plan information stored in the storage unit 33. In this case, if each record of the production plan information and the failed part information is integrated in step S502, an order is placed using the integrated record.
(Step S <b> 504) The ordering unit 34 records the order date and the like in a record corresponding to the ordered part in the damaged part information stored in the storage unit 33.

  (Step S <b> 505) The ordering unit 34 stores order result information in the storage unit 33. Then, the process returns to step S201. Here, the ordering result information is information indicating an ordering result, and includes, for example, the ordering date, the ordering party, the number of orders, and the like. Details of this information will be described later.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 15, in step S504, the order date and the like are recorded for the record corresponding to the ordered part so that the ordered record and the unordered record can be distinguished. However, this is only an example. For example, a record that has been ordered by deleting the ordered record or by giving a predetermined flag indicating that the ordered record has been placed to the ordered record. And unordered records may be distinguished. Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 15, when the order result information is not necessary, the order result information need not be accumulated in step S505. In the flowchart of FIG. 15, the process is ended by powering off or interruption for aborting the process.

  Next, the operation of the component ordering system according to the present embodiment will be described using a specific example. This specific example is also the same as that of the first embodiment except for the processing related to the ordering unit 34, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As a result of receiving the lost part information (step S201) and the storage part 32 storing the lost part information in the storage part 33 (step S202), the storage part 33 is shown in FIG. Assume that the information shown is stored. Here, the information shown in FIG. 16 is information including production plan information and defective parts information. A record whose “classification” field is “production plan” is a record of production plan information, and a record of “stained part” is a record of failed part information. The field “quantity” is a field corresponding to the “number of lost items” of the lost component information in the first embodiment. Other fields are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  As in the specific example of the first embodiment, it is assumed that the parts ordering device 3 is set to perform ordering processing at 5 am on Monday. Then, when it is 5:00 am on Monday, January 19, 2004, it is determined that it is the timing of ordering (step S203). If the information shown in FIG. 16 is stored in the storage unit 33, it is determined that there is an unordered record (step S204), and the ordering unit 34 determines the corresponding production plan information and damaged part information. It is determined whether there is any (step S501). In the information of FIG. 16, the two records whose part code is “AAA1” have the same field code and line code, and therefore are determined to be corresponding records. Then, these records are integrated, and an order for a part corresponding to “820” part codes “AAA1” is made (step S503). Here, it is assumed that the parts with the part code “AAA1” are specified to be ordered in units of 1000 pieces. Then, the ordering unit orders 1000 parts as the quantity closest to the quantity 820. Further, an order for a part code “AAA3” or the like is also made. The order date and delivery date candidate are recorded (step S504), and the information stored in the storage unit 33 is as shown in FIG.

  Further, the ordering unit 34 accumulates the order result information in the storage unit 33 (step S505). FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the order result information. In FIG. 18, the order result information includes an order date and time indicating an order date, an order number for identifying a record of the order result information, an ordering party that is information indicating where the order is placed, a site code, The line code, the part code, the number of orders indicating the quantity of the ordered parts, and a delivery date candidate are included. The first record in FIG. 18 shows the result of placing an order by integrating the two records of the part code “AAA1” in FIG.

  In this specific example, as shown in FIG. 16, the production plan information is information indicating the number of necessary parts, and the production plan information and the damaged part information are included in the same table. However, the production plan information and the failed part information may be information managed separately, and may be stored in separate storage units. Further, the production plan information may be information indicating how many predetermined products are to be produced on which site and on which line, as in the information shown in FIG. When the production plan information is the one shown in FIG. 19, the ordering unit 34 refers to the part configuration information shown in FIG. 20 stored in the predetermined storage unit, so that the corresponding production plan information and Judgment is made as to whether there is any part information that is lost. Here, the part configuration information shown in FIG. 20 indicates a part code for identifying a part to be used and its number (number) in association with a model code for identifying a product to be manufactured. For example, when the production plan information shown in FIG. 19 and the failed part information shown in FIG. 9 exist, the ordering unit 34 converts the production plan information shown in FIG. 19 into the part configuration information shown in FIG. By using it, it is expanded to information on which parts are produced, and at what site and line, and the corresponding production is performed using the production plan information after the development and the failed parts information in FIG. It is determined whether there is plan information and damaged part information.

As described above, the ordering unit 34 places an order for parts based on the damaged part information and the production plan information, so that it is possible to place an appropriate order in addition to the same effects as in the first embodiment. There is a merit that can be done. Specifically, as described in the above specific example, the minimum order unit of each part is 1000 pieces, and when placing an order based only on damaged part information, 20 parts are required. In addition, an order for 1000 pieces, which is the minimum unit, is made. Furthermore, when ordering separately based on the production plan information, 1000 parts are ordered again for the necessary 800 parts. As a result, a total of 2000 parts are ordered, and 1180 surplus parts are generated. On the other hand, when placing an order based on the production plan information and the failed part information as in the above specific example, 1000 parts are ordered for the required 820 parts, and the surplus The number of parts can be reduced to 180. In this way, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of surplus parts by placing an order for parts based on the failed part information and the production plan information.

  In the above specific example, the case where an order is made for each minimum order unit has been described. However, this is an example, and a required number of parts (820 in the above specific example) may be ordered. Even in this case, by placing an order based on the production plan information and the damaged part information, it is possible to avoid the situation where the same part is ordered twice, and the processing for the order at the ordering party is performed. There is an advantage that becomes easier.
