The relationship information 25 is displayed separately from the state in which the product corresponding to the order is assigned and the state in which the product corresponding to the order is not assigned. "The state in which the product corresponding to the order is not assigned" means that when a specific raw egg E is sorted to produce the product corresponding to the order, the eggs E of other sizes produced at the same time are included. And the delivery destination is undecided. In FIG. 6, "a state in which a product corresponding to an order is assigned" is normally displayed. On the other hand, "the state in which the product corresponding to the order is not assigned" is indicated by diagonal lines.

The relationship information 25 is displayed with distinction between a state in which the request for the order is being met and a state in which the request for the order is not being met. The "state in which the request for the order is not met" means that the sorting process is not in time by the shipping time of the order, or the quantity of the raw egg E is insufficient with respect to the quantity of the order. In FIG. 6, the "state in which the request for the order is being met" is normally displayed. On the other hand, the "state in which the order request is not met" is indicated by a thick frame. Further, the relational information 25 is, for example, the number of shortages of products calculated by the calculation unit 35 based on the order data.

Next, an example of the procedure of the production planning in the egg sorting apparatus 10 performed by the calculation unit 35 will be described.

When the calculation unit 35 acquires the information to execute the production planning process, first, the optimum source for producing the product is used by using the data of the order data recording unit 32 and the raw egg data recording unit 33. Egg E is extracted. The calculation unit 35 sorts the order data in descending order of priority (for example, in order of earliest shipping time) (S1). For each order, the raw egg data capable of producing the product is acquired (S2). The raw egg data is sorted in descending order of priority (for example, in order of producing more products) according to the volume ratio (quantity by size) (S3).

The calculation unit 35 acquires a list of raw eggs created in S3 for the order sorted in S1 that has an unassigned production plan and has the highest priority (S4). Using the raw egg E of the poultry farm that can produce the most products, the start time and end time of supplying the raw egg E to the chicken egg sorting apparatus 10 and the quantity are calculated (S5). When the quantity of raw eggs E is insufficient in S5, the start time and end time of supplying the raw eggs E to the chicken egg sorting apparatus 10 and the quantity are recalculated for the raw eggs E of other poultry farms (S6). .. Based on the result calculated in S5 or S6, the sorting plan (start time and end time of supplying the raw egg E to the chicken egg sorting device 10 and the quantity) is determined (S7).

Next, the calculation unit 35 allocates a production plan based on the sorting plan (S8). Then, when the raw egg E is supplied to the chicken egg sorting apparatus 10, the ratio of other products produced at the same time is calculated (S9), and the production plans of the other products are assigned (S10).

The calculation unit 35 repeats S4 to S10 until a production plan is assigned to all orders. After that, the surplus that is not tied to the order (corresponding to the "state in which the product corresponding to the order is not assigned") is calculated (S11).

The result calculated by the calculation unit 35 is output from the input / output unit 34 and displayed on the display unit 22 (S12).

When each item of the raw egg plan information 23 or the distribution plan information 24 is changed, the calculation unit 35 recalculates based on the change information input by the input unit 21, and thereafter, for example, S7. ~ S12 is processed. For example, as change information, when any of the start time, end time, and quantity of supplying the raw egg E in the raw egg plan information 23 to the chicken egg sorting device 10 is changed, the chicken egg sorting device 10 in the distribution plan information 24 changes. The display of the start time, end time, quantity, etc. of producing the product for each size is switched in conjunction with the raw egg plan information 23. Further, as the change information, for example, when any one of the start time, the end time, and the quantity of producing the product by size by the chicken egg sorting apparatus 10 in the distribution plan information 24 is changed, the raw egg E in the raw egg plan information 23 is changed. The display of the start time, end time, quantity, etc. of the chicken egg sorting apparatus 10 is switched in conjunction with the distribution plan information 24.

Further, an interrupt order (for example, an order in which the production start time of the product is specified) may be input while the raw egg plan information 23 and the distribution plan information 24 are displayed. In this case, as the change information, the start time for supplying the raw egg E in the raw egg plan information 23 to the chicken egg sorting device 10 or the start time for producing the product by size in the chicken egg sorting device 10 in the distribution plan information 24 is changed. It is given as an example of being done.
