  By the way, in companies where business bases are dispersed, there are many cases where design information and production information associated with product development are managed and operated by different systems. In such a case, based on various design information such as item / BOM information registered at the design stage, information necessary for each production process is added on the production side, and management operation is performed.

  However, if the design information registered as design information includes information on parts that are not necessary for production reasons or information on parts that are replaced with other parts, the design information is used as a basis. Therefore, it is necessary to delete and replace such information in the production process.

  For example, auxiliary material information (eg screws, retaining rings, etc.) required during manufacturing and production is generally procured and managed by the production side. In the design stage, it is necessary to stock parts and whether new procurement is required. In many cases, it is not possible to grasp and judge timely. Therefore, at the design stage, all necessary parts information is registered as items and included in the BOM configuration.

  In addition, it is a part that is recognized as a purchased part (outside work) from the development / design side and is registered as an item in the design information. On the manufacturing / production side, the part itself is produced in-house or production is in time. There are cases where production adjustments are made by replacing with parts from other companies (outside work). In such a case, the item / BOM information in the design information is accompanied by a change operation such as in-house / outside work, etc. each time due to production side convenience.

  As described above, when the design information provided by the design side includes information that is not necessary for the production side or information that does not match the actual situation at the production site, for example, In spite of being able to do so, there is a risk of over-ordering unnecessary auxiliary materials and increasing the inventory management cost and procurement cost of the members. In addition, the production side has sequentially performed detailed checks and changes of design information, and the labor and time required for the work cannot be ignored.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for efficiently generating production information in consideration of production-side convenience based on design information on the design side and suppressing generation of wasteful costs for inventory management and procurement.

  The design information management and operation system of the present invention that solves the above problems includes a communication unit that communicates with other devices, a storage unit that stores various data, and item information and BOM information, which are product design information, information processing of the design department. A process of receiving from the device and storing it in the storage unit and a specification regarding unnecessary information on the production side among the information included in the item information is received from a predetermined terminal, and the data of the specified event is associated with the corresponding information in the item information The unnecessary information associated with the data of the specified event in the item information in the storage unit, and the process of excluding or hiding the unnecessary information from the BOM information, And a calculation unit that executes a process of transmitting the processed BOM information to an information processing apparatus in a production department.

--- Example of processing procedure 1 ---
Hereinafter, an actual procedure of the design information management operation method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Various operations corresponding to the design information management and operation method described below are realized by a program that is read into the memory or the like of the design information management and operation system 102 and executed. And this program is comprised from the code | cord | chord for performing the various operation | movement demonstrated below.

  First, a specific example of the situation in which the BOM configuration in the present embodiment is changed according to the revision will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, in this case, it is assumed that the process when the configuration indicated by the BOM information 124 of “Rev. 1” is changed to the configuration indicated by the BOM information 124 of “Rev. 2” is assumed. ing. For example, the information on the product “S001” in the item information 123 includes the semi-finished product “SA01” as shown in the BOM configuration “Rev. 1” in FIG. The semi-finished product “SA01” is composed of a part “A001”. 4 and 2, the part “A001” is associated with the manufacturer part “ABC001” and the drawing file “F-A001”, and is confirmed as “Rev. 1”. Suppose that

  It is assumed that the product “S001” is changed due to such a BOM configuration, and the semi-finished product “SA02” is newly added. The semi-finished product “SA02” is composed of a part “A002” and a part “A003” as shown in the BOM configuration “Rev. 2” in FIG. Further, as shown in the item information 123 of FIG. 2, the part “A002” is associated with the manufacturer part “ABC002” and the drawing file “F-A002”. Similarly, the part “A003” is associated with the manufacturer part “DEF001” and the drawing file “A003”. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure example 1 of the design information management operation method according to the present embodiment.

  A process for generating new information and a process for changing existing information in design information, that is, item information 123 and BOM information 124 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure example 1 of the design information management operation method of the present embodiment. The item information 123 (FIG. 2A) and the BOM information 124 (FIG. 2D) will be described separately before and after the release process of the design change information 125 (FIG. 3). “Release” means that the content is approved through an appropriate process and the revision is confirmed.In other words, when “Release” is made, the production department, procurement department, etc. operate for the production of the corresponding product. .

  First, each process until the release process of the design change information 125 will be described. In this case, the design information management and operation system 102 determines whether the target item to be changed in the item information 123, the BOM information 124, or the like is a new item (s100). For this determination, the search function of the dedicated viewer of the input unit 103 is used, and the target item is stored in the storage unit 106 using, for example, key information such as the item number to be changed received from the external terminal 115 operated by the user as a search key. It is executed by checking whether or not each information has been registered. If the target item is not registered as a result of the search (s100: Y), the design information management and operation system 102 recognizes that the target item is a new item, and advances the processing to the next step s101. On the other hand, if the target item is registered as a result of the search (s100: N), the design information management system 102 recognizes that the target item is an existing item, and advances the process to step s106.

  In this example, the design information management and operation system 102 in the new item information generation step (s101) relates to the item information 123 related to the product “S001”, each of the semi-product “SA02”, the part “A002”, and the part “A003”. The input of information is accepted from the user, and this information is added.

  Next, the design information management operation system 102 sends a confirmation request to the external terminal 115 regarding whether or not the manufacturer part information and the drawing file are necessary, and receives the instruction from the external terminal 115 (s102). If the received instruction is “necessary” (s102: Y), the design information management and operation system 102 according to the instruction receives the manufacturer part information 121 and the drawing according to the instruction from the external terminal 115. A new record is generated in the file information 122 (s103). At this time, the design information management and operation system 102 extracts the relevant information from the manufacturer part information stored in the storage unit 106 in advance using the name of the manufacturer part indicated by the new item in the item information 123 as a key. It is set in the record of the component information 121 (= item connection). For example, with respect to item information in which a so-called item type is “parts” for purchasing and designing a manufacturer member, a designer or the like registers necessary manufacturer part information in the storage unit 106 of the design information management operation system 102 in advance. deep. In addition, when the user wants to manage so-called “drawings” and “files” such as purchase specifications of manufacturer parts and assembly design specifications of semi-finished products together with the item information 123, the user needs drawing file information 122 required in advance. Can be registered in the storage unit 106 of the design information management operation system 102 to prepare for the item connection.

  If the instruction received from the external terminal 115 is “unnecessary” in step s102 (s102: N), the design information management system 102 advances the process to step s104.

  The design information management and operation system 102 in this example is connected to the information of the manufacturer part “ABC002” connected to the part “A002” and the part “A003” in step s103 of the manufacturer part / drawing file information generation / item connection. Information of the manufacturer part “DEF001” to be added is additionally generated in the manufacturer part information 121. Similarly, information on the drawing file “F-A002” connected to the part “A002” and information on the drawing file “F-A003” connected to the part “A003” are additionally generated in the drawing file information 122. To do.

  Subsequently, the design information management and operation system 102 requests the external terminal 115 to confirm whether or not the new item needs to be added to the BOM information 124 (s104). If the instruction from the external terminal 115 is “necessary” (s104: Y), the design information management operation system 102 generates new BOM information (s105). For example, when the new item is a semi-finished product formed by assembling a plurality of parts, the semi-finished product may be registered as a parent item, and each part constituting the semi-finished product may be registered as a so-called BOM configuration. it can. In step s105, the design information management and operation system 102 in this example adds a BOM configuration in which the parent item is a semi-finished product “SA02” and the child items are a part “A002” and a part “A003” to the BOM information 124. Generate. On the other hand, if the instruction from the external terminal 115 is “unnecessary” in step s104 (s104: N), the design information management operation system 102 advances the process to step s106.

  Next, the design information management operation system 102 generates change information (s106). In step s106, the design information management and operation system 102 of the present case, as the target item setting in the design change information 125, with respect to the product “S001” to be changed, the semi-product “SA02” to be newly added, Each information of the part “A002” and the part “A003” is generated and set. Further, the design information management and operation system 102 newly generates and sets a semi-product “SA02” as a child item of the product “S001” as a BOM change setting in the design change information 125, and further, the semi-product “SA02”. "A002" and part "A003" are newly generated and set.

  Further, the design information management and operation system 102 newly associates the manufacturer part “ABC002” newly associated with the part “A002” and the part “A003” as the manufacturer part change setting in the design change information 125. Information of the manufacturer part “DEF001” to be generated is set.

  Further, the design information management and operation system 102 generates and sets information of the file “F-SA02” newly associated with the semi-finished product “SA02” as the drawing file change setting in the design change information 125, and Information of the file “F-A002” newly associated with the component “A002” is generated and set, and information of the file “F-A003” newly associated with the component “A003” is generated and set. In addition, new Rev information necessary for each setting is generated and set. Naturally, Rev regarding the product “S001” in which a part is newly added and the configuration of the BOM is changed is a value incremented by one from the previous value.

  Next, the design information management / operation system 102 uses the workflow function of the dedicated viewer of the input unit 103 to perform a review process on the design change information 125 (s107). This workflow function has an approval request function that sends an examination request to a predetermined user's terminal when a new registration or design change of an item or the like occurs, and a sign-off function that accepts approval / rejection settings by the requested user .

  In this process, if the generated design change information 125 is requested to be examined in advance by the terminal of the user corresponding to the examination that has been decided in advance and the result of the examination indicates that there is no problem (s107: approval), the design information The management operation system 102 performs the approval process on the corresponding design change information 125 and sets the status in the workflow function to “approval”, thereby enabling the release process (s109) of the design change information 125. To be.

  On the other hand, if the design change information 125 has some trouble such as an error in the part specifications or incompleteness of each registered information, and the examination result from the terminal corresponding to the examination user indicates a problem ( s107: Rejection), the design information management operation system 102 rejects the design change information 125. In this way, when “rejected”, the design change information 125 cannot be released. Therefore, the design information management and operation system 102 sends the indication content indicated by the scrutinization result to the external terminal 115 or the like, and accepts correction regarding the corresponding part (s108). The process of step s108 is repeated until the design change information 125 can be released.

  On the other hand, when the release process of the design change information 125 is possible, the design information management operation system 102 executes the change information release process (s109). By executing this release process, the design information management and operation system 102 determines Rev information for each item information and BOM information as shown in <After release> in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (d). It is.

--- Processing procedure example 2 ---
Next, a process for automatically generating transmission data from the design information management operation system 102 to the production information management system 131 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure example 2 of the design information management operation method according to the present embodiment. Using the above-described step s109 (change information release process) as a trigger, the built-in control unit 110 automatically generates transmission data from the design information management operation system 102 to the production information management system 131, and the output unit 107 has the transmission. The data is stored in the storage unit 105. As described above, the built-in control unit 110 is included in the design information management system 102.

  In this case, the embedded control unit 110 determines the item set as the target item based on the design change information 125 determined in step s109 (change information release process), that is, “S001” and the like in the example of FIG. Is extracted from the item information 123 and stored as transmission data in the transmission storage unit 105 of the output unit 107 (s200).

  Next, the built-in control unit 110 uses the design change information 125 determined in step s109 (change information release process) to determine the BOM configuration information set as the BOM change, that is, “S001” and “SA02”. Information is extracted and additionally stored in the transmission storage unit 105 of the output unit 107 (s201).

  Next, the built-in control unit 110 determines whether or not the item type indicated by each record is the item type to be supplemented, for example, “part”, for the item information extracted in step s200 (s202). If it is not the target (s202: N), the process proceeds to design change information generation (s205).

  On the other hand, when the target is a supplement (s202: Y), the incorporation control unit 110 further determines whether or not the supplementary key information of the record is “Y” (s203). If the auxiliary material key information is “Y” in this determination (s203: Y), the embedding control unit 110 deletes the corresponding record from the transmission data already stored in the transmission storage unit 105, and BOM The connection setting with other items in the configuration is deleted (s204). On the other hand, if the auxiliary material key information is not “Y” (s203: N), the incorporation control unit 110 advances the process to the design change information generation s205.

  Subsequently, the embedded control unit 110 extracts design information necessary for the production process, such as an effective start date set for each item, from the design change information 125 determined in the change information release process (s109). It is additionally stored in the transmission storage unit 105 (s205). Further, the embedded control unit 110 sets a generation completion flag for the transmission data generated by sequentially storing information in the transmission storage unit 105 up to step s205 (s206). The transmission data can be said to be information that comprises the item information 123 and the BOM information 124 by deleting the items included in the design change information 125 that are accompanied by the auxiliary material key in the item information 123.

  On the other hand, a transmission program 111 that mediates data exchange between the design information management operation system 102 and the production information management system 131 constantly monitors the transmission storage unit 105 and is stored in the transmission storage unit 105. The transmission data with the generation completion flag set is periodically transmitted to the production information management system 131. At this time, the production information management system 131 temporarily stores the transmitted transmission data in the temporary storage unit 135. In addition, the production information management system 131 periodically reflects the transmission data held in the temporary storage unit 135 in the production information 132. Note that the transmission program 111 is included in the concept of the design information management and operation system 102. In addition, it is possible to assume a situation where a predetermined terminal that cooperates with the design information management and operation system 102 implements the transmission program 111.

  Thus, automatic generation of transmission data sent from the design information management operation system 102 to the production information management system 131 and automatic transmission to the production information management system 131 are executed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the BOM information 124 generated by the design information management and operation system 102 = the configuration of the design BOM 501 and the production information 132 generated by the production information management system 131 = the configuration of the production BOM 502 Will differ depending on the convenience of the production side. Because of the configuration of the BOM used on the production system side, an unnecessary process of excluding auxiliary material information or the like is unnecessary.

  In the past, for example, in the case of automatically performing a member ordering process in association with item information and BOM information registered at the design stage, the item information and BOM information configured at the design stage are directly connected to the production process. Therefore, depending on the stock status of parts in the production department, there are not a few cases in which item information that does not require ordering is deleted from the BOM information and the procurement plan needs to be adjusted. However, for example, if the design change information 125, the item information 123 at the design stage, and the BOM information 124 are notified in advance to a user such as a production department, the information received as the transmission data is included in the information. Although there is no need, it is also possible to grasp in advance the parts and amounts of necessary supplement information. In this case, before the design information is released, a user in the production department or the like can access the parts ordering system and make a preliminary response to the confirmation / arrangement procurement of the auxiliary material. Therefore, it is possible to control parts stock management / procurement plan according to the original production plan by suppressing over-ordering of supplementary material due to missing leakage of supplementary material information from production information 132 (item information, BOM information, etc.) used by the production system side. To do.

--- Processing procedure example 3 ---
In the present embodiment, a configuration is proposed in which the configuration of the item information 123 and BOM information 124 to be switched and managed for production convenience is incorporated into the design BOM at the design / development stage, and production BOM information is generated by automatic processing. You can also. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a transition example 2 from the design BOM to the production BOM in the present embodiment. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure example 3 of the design information management operation method of the present embodiment.

  In this case, the design information management and operation system 102 designs both information of the item in the case of the external work and the item in the case of the internal work for one part that can be either the external work or the internal work at the time of production or procurement. The information is received from the information processing apparatus of the department, for example, the external terminal 115, and stored in the item information 123 regarding the corresponding product in the storage unit 106 (s300). In the example of FIG. 8, the set of information of “XBCDE002 (outside work)” and “XBCDE003 (inside work)” in the item group (item information 123), and “YBCDE002 (outside work)”, “ Each set of information of “YBCDE003 (internal work)” corresponds to both internal work and external work information on one part.

  In addition, in the BOM information 124 related to the corresponding product, the design information management and operation system 102 selects either the information corresponding to the in-house item or the information corresponding to the outside item for the parent part of the one part. Is also performed (s301). In the example of FIG. 8, in the design BOM (BOM information 124), “XBCDE002 (external work)” and “XBCDE003 (internal work)” are subordinate to the parent part “ABCDE002”. “YBCDE002 (external work)” and “YBCDE003 (internal work)” are subordinate to “ABCDE003”.

  Subsequently, the design information management and operation system 102 designates information relating to unnecessary information on the production side among the information on each item of the internal work and external work related to the one part in the BOM information 124, for example, in charge of the production department. The data of the designated event is stored in the storage unit 106 in correspondence with the corresponding information in the BOM information 124 (s302). In the example of FIG. 8, in the design BOM (BOM information 124), “0” of the “BOM flag” is “BOM flag” for “XBCDE002 (external work)” and “BOM is“ XBCDE003 (internal work) ”. “1” of “Flag” is set, “1” of “BOM flag” is set for “YBCDE002 (external work)”, and “0” of “BOM flag” is set for “YBCDE003 (internal work)” Has been. When this BOM flag is “1”, it means “necessary information”, and when it is “0”, it means “unnecessary information”.

  Next, the design information management and operation system 102 identifies the specified event data in the BOM information 124 of the storage unit 106, that is, unnecessary information associated with the BOM flag “0”. Processing for excluding or hiding unnecessary information is executed (s303). In the above example, “XBCDE002 (external work)” and “YBCDE003 (internal work)” in which “0” of the “BOM flag” is set are subject to the exclusion or non-display processing. Naturally, the above exclusion or non-display process may be executed on the duplicated data of the BOM information 124 so that the BOM information used on the design side does not change. Further, the design information management operation system 102 (the transmission program 111) transmits the transmission data including the processed BOM information 124 (excluded or hidden) to the production information management system 131 (s304). .

  In this way, both the internal / external action item / BOM and maker part information are registered in advance in the BOM information 124 managed by the design information management operation system 102, and in response to an instruction from the production side or a predetermined manager. By setting the BOM flag to a predetermined value and then performing the release process, the production information management system 131 is provided with BOM information that includes only items for which the BOM flag “1” is set. Will be.

  In the situation where development / design and manufacturing / production are performed across multiple bases, the development / design side registers items in the design information as purchased parts (outside work). On the manufacturing / production side, There are cases where the parts themselves are produced in-house or when the production is not in time, the parts are replaced with other companies' parts (outside work) and production is adjusted. Every time such a case occurs, the production side needs to correct the BOM information. However, the subject can be solved by realizing the processing as in the present embodiment.

  Although the best mode for carrying out the present invention has been specifically described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

  According to this embodiment, production information such as BOM data can be automatically generated in consideration of the circumstances in the procurement and production departments based on the design information created in the development and design departments. As a result, for example, the production side does not need to remove data on items that are unnecessary auxiliary material information from BOM data used in the production department or the like. Therefore, excessive ordering of auxiliary material information due to leakage of such unnecessary materials from BOM data is suppressed.

  In addition, from the design stage, it is possible to specify switching between in-house / outside work related to parts, etc. in the design information in consideration of production convenience, reducing waste in operations from design to production and making the entire operation more efficient. .

  Therefore, it is possible to efficiently generate production information in consideration of production convenience based on the design information on the design side, and to suppress generation of useless costs for inventory management and procurement.

  At least the following will be clarified by the description of the present specification. In other words, in the design information management and operation system, the calculation unit determines whether an item for an external work and an item for an internal work for one part that can be either an external work or an internal work at the time of production or procurement. Both pieces of information are received from the information processing device of the design department, stored in the item information related to the corresponding product in the storage unit, and the BOM information related to the corresponding product corresponds to the item of the in-house work for the parent part of the one part Processing to make both the information to be processed and the information corresponding to the item of the external work subordinate, and designation of unnecessary information on the production side among the information of each item of the internal work and the external work related to the one part in the BOM information Receiving from the predetermined terminal, storing the data of the specified event in the storage unit in association with the corresponding information in the BOM information, and in the BOM information of the storage unit The unnecessary information associated with the fixed event data is identified, the unnecessary information is excluded or hidden from the BOM information, and the processed BOM information is transmitted to the information processing apparatus in the production department. The process may be executed.
