Further, instead of replacing all processes, operations, processes, roles, etc. with hardware, only a part may be replaced with hardware. Processes, operations, processes, roles, etc. performed by humans may be replaced with, for example, the systems shown in FIG.

Although the details will be described later, according to the consolidated value chain support system described below, the market value needs to be innovated from a product-out type to a market-to-market (BTO: Build-to-Order) type value chain. It is possible to respond promptly in advance. In other words, the market stock can be grasped and an appropriate stock can be set.
In addition, according to the consolidated value chain support system of this embodiment, PSI (Production / Sales / Inventory) operation in which a sales company (overseas sales company) or domestic sales front that is closer to the customer and the production base directly cooperate with each other. Can innovate.
In addition, by taking a series of product cycles as one flow and linking each process with information technology (IT), the product flow can be tracked, and the design lead time can be shortened by a new product launch process. , Develop products based on market needs, and shorten the introduction cycle to the market.
In addition, the system can be managed by group management of factories and the like so that a series of product cycles will not be divided while recovering from any emergency such as a disaster. In addition, 2nd source conversion of parts is maintained and managed.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a linked value chain in the linked value chain support system of the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the steady-state cycle, new product launch process, termination process, and emergency response process are connected all at once, and this is a consolidated value chain that links customer information and management decision-making. It is a consolidated value chain that can respond to all kinds of environmental changes. The outline of the linked value chain shown in FIG. 1 will be described below.

(Overview of consolidated value chain)
First, features related to PSI will be described. The linked value chain shown in FIG. 1 is a linked value chain that captures a market-in type (BTO type) sell-out rather than a product-out type that is often used in the past. In other words, by performing regular PSI operations (production start instructions) directly at the sales front (sales company / domestic sales) and the production base, the market inventory can be grasped and an appropriate inventory can be set. Sales companies (overseas sales companies) and domestic sales are collectively referred to as sales fronts as appropriate.

In addition, the current situation is visualized in the event of market fluctuations or emergencies, so that the supply and demand status between the sales front and the production base can be seen from any process (so that it can be tracked).
For example, an order number at the time of placing an order is associated with a lot number in a factory so that the sales front as an orderer can refer to the stage of the ordered product. In this way, by associating various management numbers for managing products, it is possible to quickly respond to emergencies or to realize market-in. In other words, information is linked as a whole system, and information can be referred to in real time at any time and anywhere with security common to the system.
Details will be described later, but the plan number (lot number), orderer (sales company / domestic sales), model name, quantity, sales date, production order date, assembly start date, factory shipment date, transportation invoice number, Information such as ETD (Estimate Time of Departure), ETA (Estimate Time of Arrival), and the date of arrival at the sales front is associated and managed. Thereby, all information can be extracted and referred to from any one information.

  Next, features related to the role at each site will be described. In the consolidated value chain shown in FIG. 1, the PSI is responsible for the sales front in the stationary period, and the business division is responsible for the management, monitoring, and performance verification of the macro PSI (medium term PSI). Players are used as sales fronts and production bases. PSI is managed by direct operation of sales fronts and production bases, and the roles and responsibilities of sales fronts, production bases, and divisions are clarified to realize market-in. . In the start-up period, end period, and contingency, the division will take the lead in managing PSI. In other words, each base management system is responsible for supply (PSI management, monitoring, performance verification responsibility, etc.) during normal times, and in the case of an emergency, a group of multiple base management systems at multiple bases. The site management system in the leader and the division management system are responsible for supply (PSI management, monitoring, performance verification, etc.).

Next, features related to emergency response will be described. The consolidated value chain of the present embodiment has a system that can be promptly restored in any emergency. Specifically, it is a consolidated value chain with a factory group management system, 2nd source of parts, and linking (association) of parts. In addition, in order to smoothly switch production bases in the event of an emergency, the operations at each base are integrated in units of multiple groups.
In addition, as another feature, the sales and production, development, procurement, and inventory information scattered throughout the corporate group is collected in one place, and cloud services are used to ensure the security of the in-house group. This information can be used from anywhere inside the terminal. This makes it possible to make strategic decisions and make various decisions on the front lines of sales and manufacturing. Note that not only products and products but also service parts (including service units) information can be used.

(System Configuration)
Next, the configuration of the linked value chain support system of this embodiment will be described using the block diagram of FIG.

The technical information management system TI is hardware that can be replaced by the technical department or the like in the present embodiment. That is, the technical information management system TI executes processes, operations, processes, roles, and the like executed by the technical department in the present embodiment.

Next, the production management system will be described. In the present embodiment, bases and suppliers belonging to the same group use the same series of systems that are compatible with each other. Here, an example in which the A group uses an A system and the B group uses a B system will be described.
The headquarters production management system CPMa, the base production management system SPMa, the headquarters production management system CPMb, and the base production management system SPMb are hardware that can be replaced with the production base, purchasing, manufacturing department, and the like in this embodiment. That is, the headquarters production management system CPMa executes processes, operations, processes, roles, and the like executed by the production base, purchase, manufacturing department, and the like in the present embodiment.

First, the A system will be described.
The headquarters production management system CPMa performs production management in the headquarters. Specifically, information related to M-BOM (manufacturing bill of materials) management, unit production planning, manufacturing cost management, global requirement management, OS (outsourcing) product arrangement, prototype material arrangement, etc. are stored. Output or display the information.

Further, the headquarters production management system CPMa outputs information indicating that the design has been completed and information related to the design change to the base production management system SPMa.
The base production management system SPMa performs production management at the base. Specifically, information related to material requirement planning (MRP), inventory management, inventory management, actual / standard unit price management, production performance management, and the like is stored, and the information is output or displayed.
Information stored in the base production management system SPMa is also distributed to each supplier belonging to the group A via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).

Next, the B system will be described.
The headquarters production management system CPMb performs production management in the headquarters. Specifically, it stores information related to M-BOM (manufacturing bill of materials) management, unit production planning, manufacturing cost management, global requirements management, OS (outsourcing) product arrangement, prototype material arrangement, etc. Output or display the information.

Information stored in the site production management system SPMb is also distributed to each supplier belonging to the group B via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).

In the central management system (consolidated value chain support system) CMS, all the information stored in each system described above can be acquired, and the information can be displayed.
The above is the configuration of the linked value chain support system of the present embodiment.

Here, with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, group management of bases, factories, suppliers, and the like in this embodiment will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, management is performed in groups for each related base. For example, bases that manufacture the same type of products are grouped together. The information shown in FIG. 3 is stored, for example, by the central management system CMS so that a quick decision can be made when an emergency occurs.
In FIG. 3, group A is a group to which the bases A1 to A3 related to the navigation device belong, and the information (base name) indicating each base is associated with an emergency (risk) that can occur at each base. Yes. Further, information (base name) indicating each base, location (location) of the base, production product, information on production capacity (for example, the number of lines), and the name of the production management system employed are associated with each other.
In addition, each site operates using the same compatible system. For example, group A uses the headquarters production management system CPMa and the base production management system SPMa described above.

By unifying the system in this way, it is possible to share information related to design and production such as E-BOM, M-BOM, work instruction DB, and machine DB. In addition, it is possible to share information related to parts suppliers and unit prices. Furthermore, information related to equipment such as manufacturing equipment (jigs, measuring instruments), line layout, building layout, etc. can be shared.
Also, in the same group, parts are also shared, and each base has a purchasing function, so that when one of the bases has an emergency, other bases can supply the parts. . In the product design stage, the technical department selects alternative parts, thereby realizing the 2nd source of the parts. At this time, the substitute parts do not have to be completely the same part. Store information that associates substitute parts with each other, and refer to the information when an emergency occurs to extract the substitute parts. Also good.

Further, the headquarters production management system CPMa is installed, for example, at the base A2 set as a leader of the A group. Since the role of the leader is to prepare for alternative production in case of an emergency and to deal with an actual emergency, it is preferable that the location has the least risk. However, it is more preferable to be able to play the role of a leader at any base.
The technical information management system TI and the PSI management system PSIM are shared by each group.

  As will be described in detail later, when an emergency occurs at a certain base, the central management system CMS extracts and displays the bases that belong to the same group as that base and can be used for alternative production. Specifically, information related to PSI and information regarding the production capacity of each base are acquired, and based on the acquired information, bases capable of alternative production are extracted and displayed. It should be noted that the locations that are geographically farthest from the locations where the emergency occurred may be extracted, or all the locations that can be produced alternatively may be extracted.

(Overall flow of consolidated value chain)
Next, the overall operation flow of the linked value chain support system in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, the product sales start timing is assumed to be N, and the relative monthly unit time from N will be described. For example, N-3 indicates that it is three months before the start of product sales, and N + 7 indicates that seven months have elapsed since the start of product sales.
Further, a product cycle in which the period from N to N + 2 is the new product launch period, the period from N + 3 to N + 9 is the stationary period, and the period from N + 10 to N + 12 is the end period will be described as an example.
The start-up period is the time when the product input quantity is determined from the size of the market, competitors, product strength, pricing, and the termination status of the old product, and production is started. In addition, the stationary period is the time for production in line with demand, and the final period is the time for final production and quantity to be determined based on market trends and pricing and launch times for competitors and their successor models. It is. These times vary depending on the business model.

  First, a flow D related to development and design in a new product launch process (hereinafter referred to as development design flow D) and a flow C related to start-up management in a new product launch process (hereinafter referred to as start-up management flow C). ). Development design flow D and start-up management flow C are linked. For example, the number of new product launches is changed based on the progress of product development, or the end of the old model is changed. Conversely, the development of new products is accelerated based on the termination of the old model. Such linkage is determined based on inventory status and market conditions.

  First, in step D1, the product concept is determined 10 months before the product sales start. Here, the basic operation specifications and architecture specifications of the product are determined by the system design.

  Next, in step D2, the basic design of the product is completed 8 months before the start of product sales. Here, system basic specifications, hardware basic design specifications, software basic design specifications, etc. of the product are determined.

  Next, in step D3, the detailed design of the product is completed 6 months before the product sales start. In this step D3, the parts used for the product are determined, and the parts table is completed. This parts table indicates the type and number of parts used in the product, and information on the parts table is stored in the technical information management system TI shown in FIG.

Next, in step D4, the product is prototyped from 5 months before the product sales start to 4 months before the product sales start.
At this stage, start-up management is also started (step C1), and initial demand management is started by the strategy PSI (long-term PSI) (step C2).

  Next, in step D5, the final product design review is completed three months before the start of product sales, and in step C3, between four months before the start of product sales and two months before the start of product sales. Determine the items to be prepared for when the new product launch quantity and sales volume increase. The initial demand will be reviewed at the timing two months before the start of product sales, and the quantity will be finalized.

  In step D6, the shipping examination is completed for the mass-produced product, and the process proceeds to the cycle SC at the normal time. Details of the regular cycle SC will be described later with reference to FIG.

The next step PE1 and step PE2 are termination processes PE. In step PE1, it is determined whether or not to end the product (whether or not to end production).
In addition, the timing to determine the end is the timing when a certain time (for example, 7 months) has passed since the start of product sales, the timing when the deviation from the sales plan becomes large, the timing when product defects occur, or the occurrence of an emergency such as a disaster Timing.
If it is determined in step PE1 that it will not be terminated, the process returns to step S, and the cycle SC at the normal time is repeated.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step PE1 that the process will be terminated, the process proceeds to step PE2, where the final production time of the product and the remaining production quantity are determined based on the market needs and the occurrence of an emergency, and it becomes a successor model. Consider new product concepts.
In addition, the market inventory is managed from the cycle SC at the normal time, and the final production time of the product and the remaining production quantity are determined so that the cost for product disposal is minimized. In consideration of the launch of the successor product, the final production time of the product and the remaining production quantity are determined.

  Then, the production of the finished product (old model) is terminated (step PE3), and the process proceeds to step D1 where a development design flow D for a new successor product is started. In addition, the process proceeds to step C1, and a startup management flow C for a new successor product is started.

  The above is the overall operation flow of the linked value chain support system in this embodiment, but there is also an emergency response process E. In the emergency response process, when an emergency occurs (step E1), the emergency response process described later is executed (step E2), and as a result, the decision items of other processes are corrected or the process stage is returned. Or end the product. As described above, the matter determined in the emergency response process E affects all other processes. Details of the emergency response process E will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

  Next, details of main cycles and processes in FIG. 1 will be described individually.

(Cycle SC during normal operation)
First, the steady cycle SC will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Every day, an order is placed from each dealer to the dealer or domestic sales (S1), and the delivery from the dealer or domestic sales that received the order (S2) is delivered to the dealer (S3). In addition, in the regular cycle SC shown in FIG. 5, the sales front (sales company or domestic sales) creates a PSI plan (S4). At that time, the sales front creates a PSI plan in consideration of not only the order status but also information on the market inventory at the store (selling out information).

  Then, the sales front places an order for production to the production base based on the PSI plan that also considers sell-out information (S5). In this way, an order based on a market-in type (BTO type) sell-out is performed.

  Here, the business division makes a PSI plan based on the status of the ordered production order (S6), inventory information, and the like (S7). Specifically, long-term PSI (strategic PSI) and medium-term PSI (macro PSI) are planned. The long-term PSI is, for example, PSI 3 to 5 months ahead, and is PSI on a monthly basis. The medium-term PSI is, for example, a PSI up to three months ahead, and is a weekly PSI.

  The production base plans a steady PSI, which is the latest PSI, based on the long-term PSI and the medium-term PSI. The steady PSI is determined weekly based on the latest production order status, inventory information, and the like.

  Then, the production base and the sales front arrange long-lived parts based on the long-term PSI (S8). Further, based on the steady PSI, it is determined that production is finally performed (S9).

The purchasing department at the production site receives the main unit plan (production unit plan) and unit plan based on steady PSI, calculates the type and quantity of required parts based on MRP (Material Requirements Planning) (S10), and orders parts. And accepting (S11).
Long delivery parts are managed separately from short delivery parts, and are ordered based on long-term PSI.

  Here, the launch of new products and the end of products are planned mainly by the division. In addition, long-term PSI and medium-term PSI are fixed on a monthly basis mainly by the division.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the purchased parts are received into the production department (S12). The production management person in the production department manages the inventory status and issues a production instruction to the production person in the production department (S13). Then, the manufacturer in charge manufactures the product based on the manufacturing instruction (S14).

  The logistics department ships the finished product (FA: Final Assembly) manufactured by the production department (S15). The logistics department also manages sales, estimated time of delivery (ETD: Estimate Time of Departure), and inventory at the sales front. The finished product is stored in the warehouse (S16) and stored in the respective sales front (S17). Depending on the distribution route, the goods are received through customs.

The above is the cycle SC at the steady state. As explained above, according to the consolidated value chain support system of the present embodiment, the product value type is changed to a market-in (BTO) type value chain that captures sell-out, and the market needs are quickly anticipated. Can respond. In other words, the market stock can be grasped and an appropriate stock can be set.
In addition, according to the consolidated value chain support system of the present embodiment, the PSI operation is not the division-sponsored PSI operation, but the sales front closer to the customer and the production base are linked to reflect customer needs. It is a cycle.

(Emergency response process E)
Next, the emergency response process E will be described. First, an outline of the emergency response process E will be described.

  The emergency response process E is a process of grasping the occurrence of an emergency, determining the situation and the degree of influence, and determining the level of response to the emergency, and the process is performed centering on an emergency response meeting that is always held.

  The features of the emergency response process E in the linked value chain support system of the present embodiment include a “group” management system of factories and the like, and the 2nd source maintenance of parts. It is also characterized by linking parts to final products and customers, and prior linking (from both customers and parts) regarding alternative means. Thus, a mechanism for preventing the sales from being affected by the emergency is provided by the emergency response process E described in detail below. Further, the emergency response process E is a process that can respond not only to the normal cycle SC but also to the new product launch process and the termination process.

Next, details of the emergency response process E will be described with reference to FIG. 6 by taking an emergency response related to a production site as an example.
First, when an emergency occurs in step E1 in FIG. 6, the situation is first arranged. For example, confirm and organize the location of the emergency, the content of the emergency, the scale of the emergency, etc.

  In the next step E21, categories (department, base, supplier, etc.) affected by the emergency are extracted based on the situation arrangement performed in step E1. For example, when information indicating an emergency is input, the central management system CMS extracts a base affected by the occurrence of the emergency based on the group management table shown in FIG. The central management system CMS extracts, for example, bases existing within a predetermined range from the location where the emergency occurred, among the bases associated with the emergency that occurred. Note that the categories to be extracted are not limited to production bases, but include various categories such as suppliers and design bases.

  In the next step E22, problems that may occur at the extracted emergency location are extracted. The problems assumed for each category are examined in advance, and the problems are associated with each category and stored in the central management system CMS. In this way, the central management system CMS can extract the problems associated with the category extracted in step E21 when an emergency occurs. For example, if it is extracted in step E21 that the production base is affected by an emergency, the possible problems are as follows: stoppage of the production plant, reduction of production capacity (supply shortage, delivery delay), recall or market recovery, Etc. are extracted.

  In the next step E23, the central management system CMS extracts a countermeasure for dealing with the extracted problem, and determines and executes the countermeasure in the next step E24. Note that the countermeasures described in steps E23 and E24 in FIG. 6 are examples, and include countermeasures to be taken before an emergency occurs. Of the countermeasures described in steps E23 and E24, the measures that are not underlined are examples of measures that are taken before the occurrence of an emergency, and the measures that are underlined are examples of measures that are taken after the occurrence of an emergency. .

As shown in steps E22 and E23 of FIG. 6, by storing the problem and the countermeasure in association with each other, the countermeasure associated with the problem extracted in step E22 is extracted in step E23. be able to.
As described above, by associating the emergency, the category, the problem, and the countermeasure, it is possible to respond immediately when an emergency occurs.

Next, the countermeasure shown in step E24 will be described. Here, first, the outline of the countermeasure is determined, and based on the determined items, the individual countermeasure shown in Step E23 and other specific countermeasures are executed.
First, in step E24, a customer to be preferentially delivered is determined. For example, the production status of products to be delivered for each customer is confirmed, priorities are given to the customers so as to affect only as few customers as possible, and the production plan is corrected.

In step E24, it is determined whether to continue production, terminate production, or pause production for the current product affected by the emergency.
In the case of continuing production, if a design change such as a part change is necessary due to the supply status of the part, etc., start a new product launch process (development / design) D from any of steps D1 to D6 in FIG. Try again.
In addition, when the production is terminated for the affected current product, the termination process PE of FIG. 4 is executed.

  In step E23, it is determined whether or not to postpone the sales of the affected new product. When postponing sales, the new product launch process (launch management) C is reviewed and the new product launch quantity, etc. is reviewed, and the final production period and production quantity, etc., are reviewed in the current model termination process.

  In step E23, it is also determined whether or not to switch production to an alternative means. When it is decided to switch to the alternative means, the central management system CMS executes the following processing.

First, in order to switch to an alternative means, the central management system CMS is selected from the bases that belong to the same group as the emergency-affected bases, from the bases that are not associated with the emergency that occurred, or from the place where the emergency occurred. Bases that are more than a distance away are extracted and displayed as alternative bases. It is more preferable that the alternative base is a base that is not associated with the occurrence of the emergency and that is away from the place where the emergency has occurred by a predetermined distance or more.
Also, only the locations that are geographically farthest from the locations where an emergency has occurred may be extracted, or all the locations that can be produced alternatively may be extracted.

  In addition, the central management system CMS prioritizes alternative production sites so that the higher the priority is, the higher the priority is, the higher the production capacity is, the higher the priority is. Or you may. And based on the priority, it may be arranged and displayed in order of increasing distance from the emergency occurrence point, or may be arranged and displayed in descending order of production capacity.

The above is the emergency response process E in this embodiment. As described above, according to the linked value chain support system of the present embodiment, alternative production or the like can be started immediately due to a normal response and a quick response to an emergency. In addition, inventory and production can be adjusted so that sales are not affected. In addition, in case of any emergency, the factory can be managed by group management so that a series of product cycles is not interrupted.
Further, in order to realize the operation described above, the central management system CMS extracts a storage unit for storing the group management information shown in FIG. 3 and information for extracting an alternative base based on the input emergency information. And a display control unit that rearranges the extracted information and displays the information on the display unit. For example, a hard disk or the like can be used as the storage unit. In addition, a CPU, a memory, a microprocessor, a DSP, a video card, or the like can be used as appropriate for the extraction unit and the display control unit.

(Product tracking management)
Next, tracking management of products in the linked value chain system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the linked value chain system of this embodiment, in order to construct a more preferable value chain, information is linked as a whole system, and information can be referred to in real time at any time and anywhere with security common to the system.

First, considering the order status from the customer and the market situation, the sales front determines a steady PSI plan such as the number of orders. In this steady PSI plan, a plan number is assigned for each arbitrary number of units. At this time, information specifying the sales company (or domestic sales) that created the steady PSI plan is associated with the plan number. At this time, the sales time (scheduled sales time) is also associated.
Then, based on the steady PSI plan, the model name, the number of units, and the sales time are input to the sales company / domestic sales system SS. When the model name and the number of units are input, the sales company / domestic sales system SS associates information identifying the sales company (or domestic sales), the plan number, the model name, the number of units, and the sales period with the PSI management system PSIM. Output production order information, which is information (production order). At this time, the date when the production order information is output to the PSI management system PSIM is further associated with the production order information as the production order date.

  When the production order information is input, the PSI management system PSIM selects the production site based on the model name, the location of the sales company (or domestic sales), the inventory status, the parts status, and the emergency occurrence status, The production order information is output to the production management system PM (the headquarters production management system or the site production management system) of the selected production base to request the production order.

  Upon receiving the production order information, the production management system PM determines whether production is possible by the delivery date based on the production status and the like, and if production is possible, determines the production start. Then, production information, which is information in which the assembly start date and the factory shipment date are associated with each other, is created.

Thereafter, when the product is completed and information indicating that the product is completed is input from the production management system PM to the distribution management system DM, the distribution management system DM finally determines a means for transporting the completed product. Confirm and create an invoice for the invoice. The distribution management system DM generates shipping information that is information in which the invoice number for identifying the invoice, the ETD, and the ETA are associated with the production information.
Then, when the product is received in the warehouse on the sales front, the sales company / domestic sales system SS associates the sales company arrival date with the production information, and generates product tracking information in which all the information is related.

  As described above, plan number (lot number), orderer (sales front), model name, quantity, sales time, production order date, assembly start date, factory shipment date, transportation invoice number, ETD, ETA , Information such as the date of arrival at the sales front is associated and managed. Thereby, all information can be extracted and referred to from any one information. For example, it is possible to grasp the whole by displaying in order of history and date. Further, the product tracking information for each group can be displayed by filtering for each group.

  In addition, it is possible to grasp the supply status with respect to the total demand on the sales front, such as when the goods are received in the warehouse on the sales front and by which transportation means. It is also possible for the sales front to determine the number of production orders while confirming the latest on-hand inventory and receipt schedule when the PSI plan is formulated, and it is possible to build a market-in type connected value chain that captures sell-out. Each scheduled date is initially set to a value derived from a lead time or an operating calendar, but it is preferable to replace the actual scheduled date or result when the completion of each process approaches.

As described above, according to the consolidated value chain support system of this embodiment, the order from the final customer is directly connected to the production base, and the number of production is determined in cooperation with sell-out information indicating actual sales at the dealership. In addition to shortening the product supply period and preventing out-of-stock inventory, the company has a new product launch process that determines the number of units planned for product development information and sell-out information that anticipates market needs. Further, it is possible to execute an operation in which sell-out information is associated with a product or a component.
In addition, the business unit management system determines the planned number of new products based on at least sell-out information and market inventory in the preceding model, and establishes the new product based on the determined planned number, sell-out information and market inventory. The production volume is determined, and a production order based on the determined startup production volume is made to the production base management system.
In addition, the sales front management system determines the number of units produced in the steady state and the number of units produced at the end based on the market inventory, sell-out information, and the standard inventory that takes into account the fluctuation risk in case of emergency. A production order based on the determined production quantity is directly made to the production base without going through the business unit management system.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the functions of the central management system CMS may be realized by making a part of the configuration of the central management system CMS separate and communicating with the separate configuration via a network or the like.
