Description

  The present invention relates to an evaluation procedure generation method, apparatus, and program, and more particularly, to an evaluation procedure generation method, apparatus, and program for evaluating workability on a virtual model in a design stage before manufacturing a product.

  In the product design stage, a method for evaluating workability on a virtual model using three-dimensional models of products used for design, tools used for assembly, three-dimensional models such as a human body, etc. has been implemented in recent years.

  When evaluating the assemblability of a product, a 3D model of a product, a human body model, and other 3D models such as tools are displayed on a computer display screen (PC screen) on which the 3D model can operate according to the contents of each evaluation. This was done by performing operations such as distance measurement between models and comparing them with judgment values of evaluation items.

  As a conventional technology for realizing an efficient evaluation of product assembly, in the product design specification evaluation system and its method, a defect phenomenon in a past prototype, an evaluation item when analyzing the product, and each design of the product It is known to comprehensively and efficiently evaluate a design specification plan of a new product based on the specifications (Patent Document 1).

  As another conventional technique, in an assembly system that evaluates the assemblability of a product in a pseudo manner, it captures 3D data, records the operation from the user to create an animation, and records the movement of the part by that operation. As a result, evaluation data is created, and the evaluation result is obtained by substituting the evaluation data into a previously created evaluation formula. As a result, after the animation is created, the user can automatically obtain the evaluation result. Therefore, it is known to improve the user's input effort and prevent evaluation items from dropping (Patent Document 2).

Furthermore, as another conventional technology, in the design support device for the control circuit, before the actual assembly of the entire device, the operation verification of the control circuit drive source, etc., and the configuration and operation of the entire device can be easily confirmed. A support device is known (Patent Document 3).

  In the assembly work evaluation work using the virtual model of the conventional product, since the evaluation procedure is not unified, several kinds of evaluation procedures have been considered for each evaluation of the worker. Since workers decided the evaluation procedure based on their own judgment, there were variations in evaluation and evaluation omissions.

  For example, an evaluation procedure example assumed when the evaluation content is “whether there is a space when the operator holds the printed board unit in the assembly process” is described below.

(Evaluation Procedure Example 1)
Procedure 1: An evaluator who evaluates assemblyability places a model of a printed board unit on a PC screen for virtual evaluation.
Procedure 2: Visually confirm the place with the printed board in the virtual space, and determine whether there is space based on the visual information.

(Evaluation procedure example 2)
Procedure 1: An evaluator who evaluates assemblyability places a model of a printed board unit on a PC screen for virtual evaluation.
Procedure 2: Measure the spatial dimension of the place with the printed board in the virtual space.
Step 3: Based on the measurement dimensions, determine whether there is space by hand.

(Evaluation procedure example 3)
Procedure 1: An evaluator who evaluates assemblability places a model of a printed board unit on a PC screen on which virtual evaluation is performed.
Procedure 2: A hand model is placed at a place having a printed board in a virtual space.
Step 3: In the virtual space, visually check the gap between the hand model and the part to determine whether there is a space.

(Evaluation Procedure Example 4)
Procedure 1: An evaluator who evaluates assemblability places a model of a printed board unit on a PC screen on which virtual evaluation is performed.
Procedure 2: A hand model is placed at a place having a printed board in a virtual space.
Step 3: Check for interference between the hand model and parts in the virtual space, and determine whether there is space due to the presence or absence of interference.

  Among the above evaluation procedure examples, the evaluation procedure shown in “Evaluation Procedure Example 4” is appropriate. However, since the evaluator determines an evaluation procedure that the user's own rule of thumb and value judgment are considered good, various evaluation procedures can be assumed for each evaluator. Therefore, various evaluation procedures exist for the evaluation method for one evaluation item, and due to the variation in the evaluation procedure, the evaluation contents are leaked or the evaluation results are varied.

  The fact that the evaluation procedure when performing the evaluation is not constant has caused problems such as omission of judgment due to human checks, judgment mistakes, variation in judgment results, and the like, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of the evaluation results.

  Therefore, the workability evaluation of the product is not sufficient, and feedback information cannot be obtained sufficiently. Therefore, the workability evaluation cannot be reflected in the product design at the product design stage.

  In addition, in the manufacturing stage, problems in operations in each process occur, and various process losses may occur.

  The method of Patent Document 1 of the prior art described above is intended to efficiently and efficiently determine evaluation items and evaluation criteria in a product design specification draft, and to improve design quality and shorten design man-hours. This is different from the purpose of eliminating the variation in the evaluation procedure assumed in the evaluation of workability.

  In the system of Patent Document 2, the user performs a product assembly operation by animation, records the operation movement, and automatically creates an evaluation procedure. However, since the contents of the operation record information depend on each user's operation, the evaluation procedure due to individual differences is not constant, and problems such as variations due to individual differences among users cannot be solved.

  The apparatus of Patent Document 3 described above is intended to improve the efficiency of control circuit design and reduce the number of man-hours. The object and processing of the present invention for efficiently and uniformly generating a workability evaluation procedure. The target of is different.

  In the present invention, in order to improve the objectivity and accuracy of the evaluation result by eliminating the variation in the evaluation procedure used in the workability evaluation by the virtual model of the product in the pre-manufacturing stage, It is an object of the present invention to provide an evaluation procedure generation method for generating a standardized evaluation procedure from information including general differences.

  The replacement table 121 is a data table that stores the word / phrase 203 extracted from the input information in the input format of the evaluation method 201 and the word / phrase associated with the word / phrase.

  FIG. 5 shows a data configuration example of the replacement table 121.

  The replacement table 121 includes items of an evaluation method input phrase 121a and related phrases 121b and 121c.

  The input word / phrase 121a of the evaluation method stores a word / phrase that becomes an input word / phrase in the input format of the evaluation method.

  In the related words / phrases 121b and 121c, related words / phrases reflected in the output term of the output format of the evaluation procedure and related to the input words / phrases are stored.

  In the replacement table 121 shown in FIG. 5, when the word / phrase 203 extracted from the evaluation method 201 matches any word / phrase of the input word / phrase 121 a of the evaluation method, the related word / phrase of the matched word / phrase is associated with the evaluation. This is information set in the input item 105 a of the procedure table 105.

  Specifically, when the phrase “held by hand” 203 is extracted from the character string input to the input item “D” of the input format of the evaluation method 201, the input item “D” of the evaluation procedure table 105 is extracted. In the output item “D2” of the corresponding evaluation procedure, the related phrase “place the hand at the gripping position” is incorporated instead of the phrase 203.

  Further, when the phrase 203 “having a space” is extracted from the character string input to the input item “D” of the input format of the evaluation method 201, the evaluation corresponding to the input item “D” of the evaluation procedure table 105 is performed. The output term “D2” of the procedure includes the related phrase “place the hand at the holding position” instead of the phrase 203, and the output term “E2” of the evaluation procedure corresponding to the input term “E” includes the related phrase “ “Interference with surrounding parts” is incorporated.

  Similarly, when the phrase “carry by hand” 203 is extracted from the character string input in the input item “D” of the input format of the evaluation method 201, it corresponds to the input item “D” in the evaluation procedure table 105. The output term “D2” of the evaluation procedure to be performed includes the related term “measuring the weight of the object” instead of the phrase 203, and the output term “E2” of the evaluation procedure corresponding to the input term “E” is related to The phrase “Weight ** kg or less (confirm)” is incorporated.

  Note that “**” in the related phrase “weight ** kg or less (confirm)” represents a determination value for determining the determination condition, and is determined arbitrarily by the evaluation creator in the evaluation determination condition setting process. Can do. In this case, the set determination value is stored as information related to the evaluation procedure 205.

  The procedure output format extraction unit 123 extracts information related to the output format (model) of the evaluation procedure 205 from the evaluation procedure table 105.

  The phrase replacement unit 125 refers to the setting content of the input item 105a of the evaluation procedure table 105, and incorporates the phrase 203 as it is or incorporates the phrase 203 by replacing it with the related phrase in order to incorporate the phrase into the evaluation procedure 205. When it is determined that the word / phrase 203 is to be replaced with the related word / phrase, the replacement table 121 is searched to extract the related word / phrase.

  When the word / phrase 203 does not correspond to the word / phrase registered in the input word / phrase 121a of the evaluation method of the substitution table 121, the word / phrase replacement unit 125 obtains the word / phrase replacement unit 125 by using notation conversion processing, synonym conversion processing, etc. of the ambiguous word DB 107. , A phrase search in the replacement table 121 is performed using a phrase corresponding to the phrase 203.

  The procedure / phrase synthesis unit 127 incorporates the phrase 203 selected by the phrase replacement unit 125 or a related phrase of the phrase 203 into each output term based on the output format (template) of the evaluation procedure 205 to generate an evaluation procedure 205.

  The evaluation procedure display processing unit 13 of the evaluation system 1A outputs the evaluation procedure 205 generated by the evaluation procedure generation device 10 to the output device 15.

  FIG. 6 shows an outline process flow of the evaluation procedure generation process of the evaluation procedure generation apparatus 10.

  When the evaluation procedure generation process is started in the evaluation system 1A, in the evaluation procedure generation apparatus 10, the evaluation method format selection processing unit 111 outputs the input format (template) of the evaluation method stored in the evaluation method input format DB 101. The information is displayed on the device 15 (step S1).

  When the worker selects the displayed template of the evaluation method, the input format (model) of the selected evaluation method M1 is displayed on the output device 15 (step S3). The evaluation method format selection processing unit 111 reflects the information related to the input format of the selected evaluation method M1 and the information related to the output format of the corresponding evaluation procedure P1 to the evaluation method table 103 and the evaluation procedure table 105, respectively. Let

  When the operator inputs a character string into each input item of the template of the evaluation method M1, the evaluation method input processing unit 113 creates the evaluation method 201 from the character string input to the input format of the evaluation method M1 (step S5). .

  Then, the phrase extraction processing unit 115 and the evaluation procedure generation processing unit 117 perform a phrase replacement process in which the character string of the evaluation method 201 is converted into a phrase used in the output format of the evaluation procedure 205 (step S7). Details of the phrase replacement process will be described later.

  The evaluation procedure generation processing unit 117 creates the evaluation procedure 205 using the words obtained by the word replacement process in step S7 (step S9).

  FIG. 7 is a processing flowchart of the phrase replacement process (FIG. 6: step S7).

  The phrase extraction processing unit 115 extracts a keyword indicating the content of the evaluation method from the character string input to the input format of the evaluation method M1, and stores it as the phrase 203 (step S21).

  After that, the phrase replacement unit 125 of the evaluation procedure generation processing unit 117 performs the phrase replacement process of the phrase 203 using the replacement table 121 (step S23).

  Subsequently, the procedure output format extraction unit 123 extracts information on the output format of the evaluation procedure 205 from the evaluation procedure table 105. The phrase replacement unit 125 determines whether to replace the phrase 203 or the phrase converted from the phrase 203 with the related phrase registered in the replacement table 121 based on the setting content of the input item 105 a of the evaluation procedure table 105. decide. If the input term 105a is set to be replaced with a related word / phrase, the word / phrase 203 or the related word / phrase of the converted word / phrase 203 is extracted using the replacement table 121 (step S25).

  The procedure / phrase synthesizing unit 127 inserts the phrase 203 or the converted phrase 203 as it is into the output term of the setting that does not require replacement for the output term (template) of the evaluation procedure 205, and the setting that requires replacement The related word / phrase 203 is inserted into the output term to generate the evaluation procedure 205 (step S27).

  FIG. 8 shows a processing flow of the phrase replacement process (FIG. 7: step S23).

  The phrase replacement unit 125 determines whether to replace the phrase to be incorporated into the output term of the output format of the evaluation procedure 205 with the phrase 203 or the converted phrase 203 based on the setting contents of the input term 105a of the evaluation procedure table 105. Is determined (step S31). In the case of replacing with an input word, specifically, when the input term 103a (for example, “A”) of the evaluation method table 103 is set in the input term 105a (YES in step S31), a replacement process is performed. Not performed. When substituting with a related phrase without replacing with the input phrase, specifically, when the value (for example, “D2”) of the input term 103a of the evaluation method table 103 is set in the input term 105a. (YES in step S33), referring to the replacement table 121, replaces the input phrase with a related phrase (step S35).

  FIG. 9 shows a processing flow of the word replacement processing in step S35.

  Here, it is assumed that the phrase 203 (input phrase) extracted from the evaluation method 201 is “Let's hold”.

  The phrase replacement unit 125 determines whether there is an input phrase in the replacement table 121 (step S61). If the input phrase does not exist in the replacement table 121 (NO in step S61), the input phrase is divided into words (for example, “te”, “de”, “has”) (step S62).

  Conversion is performed using a known processing function provided in the ambiguous word DB 107, for example, a kana-kanji conversion function, a synonym conversion function, an English translation / Japanese translation function, etc., to obtain “held by hand” (step S63).

  Next, a search is performed in the replacement table 121 for the same phrase as the input phrase that has been converted (step S64). If the same phrase exists (YES in step S64), the converted phrase is replaced with the converted phrase. Are incorporated into the corresponding output term and reflected in the evaluation procedure 205 (step S610).

  On the other hand, when the same phrase as the input phrase that has been converted does not exist in the replacement table 121 (NO in step S64), it is determined whether there is a partially matching phrase in the replacement table 121 (step S64). S65).

  If there is a partially matching word / phrase in the replacement table 121 (YES in step S65), the partially matching word / phrase is displayed on the output device 15 for confirmation by the operator (step S66). Thereafter, it is checked whether or not there is a related word / phrase associated with the displayed word / phrase (partially matched word / phrase) in the replacement table 121 (step S67).

  If there is a related phrase of the displayed phrase (YES in step S67), the related phrase is incorporated into the corresponding output term and reflected in the evaluation procedure 205 (step S610).

  On the other hand, if the related phrase of the displayed phrase does not exist (NO in step S67), the related phrase to be replaced is displayed on the output device 15, and the operator displays the displayed phrase (partly matched phrase). When a related word / phrase to be replaced is set (step S68), the set related word / phrase is additionally registered in the replacement table 121 (step S69).

  The process of searching for a related phrase from the phrase 203 (step S63) will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 10A shows an example in which the word / phrase 203 input by the evaluation method 201 exists in the replacement table 121 and is replaced with a related word / phrase.

  When the character string “held by hand” is input as the input format of the evaluation method 201 and extracted as the phrase 203, the phrase replacement unit 125 is the same as “held by hand” in the replacement table 121 (see FIG. 5). Search for the phrase. Here, since “hold by hand” exists in the replacement table 121, the corresponding related phrase “place the hand at the gripping position” is extracted.

  FIG. 10B shows a case where the character string “Tedetsu” is extracted as the word 203 after being converted into the input format of the evaluation method 201. The phrase replacement unit 125 uses the known kana-kanji conversion function of the ambiguous word DB 107 to identify phrase breaks and convert them to kanji to obtain “hold by hand”. After that, as in the case of FIG. 10A, the phrase replacement unit 125 searches the replacement table 121 for a phrase that is the same as the converted phrase “held by hand”. Since “held by hand” exists in the replacement table 121, the corresponding related phrase “place the hand at the gripping position” is extracted.

  FIG. 11 shows a case where the character string “Tesasamu” is extracted as the word 203 after being subjected to synonym conversion processing in the input format of the evaluation method 201.

  The phrase replacement unit 125 uses the known kana-kanji conversion function of the ambiguous word DB 107 to specify phrase breaks and convert them to kanji to obtain “handsap”. The phrase replacement unit 125 searches the replacement table 121 for a phrase that is the same as the converted phrase “clamped by hand”.

  However, since “clamping with hands” does not exist in the replacement table 121, the synonym “gripping with hands” is further obtained using the known synonym conversion function of the ambiguous word DB 107.

  After that, as in the case of FIG. 10A, the phrase replacement unit 125 searches the replacement table 121 for a phrase that is the same as the converted phrase “held by hand”. Since “held by hand” exists in the replacement table 121, the corresponding related phrase “place the hand at the gripping position” is extracted.

  A specific example of an evaluation procedure generated from input information of a certain evaluation method will be described below.

  The input format (model) of the evaluation method 201 has the contents shown in FIG. 2A, and the output format (model) of the evaluation procedure 205 corresponding to the evaluation method 201 has the contents shown in FIG. Assume.

  Further, it is assumed that the information related to the input format of the evaluation method 201 is the content of the evaluation method table 103 shown in FIG. 3, and the information related to the output format of the evaluation procedure 205 is the content of the evaluation procedure table 105 shown in FIG. .

[Specific Example 1]
As contents for evaluating the workability of the parts, the operator inputs the input items “A”, “B”, “C”, “C” of the evaluation method 201 displayed on the output device 15 by the evaluation method format selection processing unit 111. When “worker”, “printed board unit”, “during assembly”, “gripping”, and “having space” are input to each of “D” and “E”, the evaluation method input processing unit 113 performs this operation. The input information is processed, and an evaluation method 201 having the following contents is obtained.
“If“ A: Worker ”“ B: Printed board unit ”“ C: During assembly ”“ D: Grasping ”,“ E: There is space ”. ”
The phrase extraction processing unit 115 extracts the following phrases 203 for each input term from the evaluation method 201.
“A: Worker”, “B: Printed board unit”, “C: During assembly”, “D: Grasp”, “E: Space available”
Information of the evaluation procedure table 105 is read by the procedure output format extraction unit 123. The phrase replacement unit 125 determines whether or not the replacement process for the phrase 203 to be incorporated into the output term is necessary from the setting contents of the input term 105 a of the evaluation procedure table 105 corresponding to each output term of the template of the evaluation procedure 205.

  Here, since replacement processing is necessary for “D2” and “E2” of the input item 105a of the evaluation procedure table 105, the phrase 203 extracted from the input items “D” and “E” of the input format of the evaluation method 201 is used. ("D: grasp", "E: have space") are related phrases ("D2: place hand at gripping position", "E2: interference with surrounding parts (check)" )).

Thereafter, the procedure / phrase synthesizing unit 127 converts the output items corresponding to the setting contents “A”, “B”, and “C” of the input item 105 a of the evaluation procedure table 105 among the output items of the template of the evaluation procedure 205. The phrase 203 of the input item “A”, “B”, “C” of the template of the evaluation method 201 is incorporated as it is. Further, the output item corresponding to the setting contents “D2” and “E2” of the input item 105a of the evaluation procedure table 105 is replaced with the relation replaced from the word 203 of the input item “D” and “E” of the template of the evaluation method 201. The phrase is incorporated and the following evaluation procedure 205 is output.
“Procedure 1: An evaluator of workability loads and arranges a model of“ A: worker ”on a PC screen on which a virtual model evaluation environment exists.
Procedure 2: The evaluator takes the model of “B: printed board unit” in the process of “C: during assembly” into the virtual model of Procedure 1 and arranges it.
Procedure 3: Set “D2: Place hand at gripping position” for “A: worker” and “B: printed board unit”.
Procedure 4: Confirm “E2: Interference with surrounding parts” for the operation of “D2: Place hand at gripping position” set for “A: worker” and “B: printed board unit”. ”
[Specific Example 2]
As contents for evaluating whether or not a part can be transported, an operator can input the input items “A”, “B”, “C”, and “model” of the evaluation method 201 displayed on the output device 15 by the evaluation method format selection processing unit 111. When “Delivery operator”, “Power supply unit”, “Assembly”, “Transport”, and “Can be mounted on carriage” are input to D and E respectively, The input information is processed, and an evaluation method 201 having the following contents is obtained.
“If“ A: transport operator ”“ B: power supply unit ”“ D: transport ”in the“ C: assembly ”process,“ E: can be mounted on the carriage ”. ”
As described in the first specific example, the phrase 203 extracted from the input items “D” and “E” in the input format of the evaluation method 201 (“D: transport”, “E: can be mounted on a carriage”) Is replaced with the related phrase (“D2: Measure the outer shape of (object)”, “E2: Size (W × D × H) or less (confirm))” in the replacement table 121.

Then, the following contents are output as the evaluation procedure 205.
“Procedure 1: An evaluator of whether or not a part can be transported loads and arranges the model of“ A: transporter ”on a PC screen on which a virtual model evaluation environment exists.
Procedure 2: The evaluator takes the model of “B: power supply unit” in the process of “C: assembly” into the virtual model of Procedure 1 and arranges it.
Procedure 3: Set “D2: Measure the external shape of the power supply unit” for “A: Transport worker” and “B: Power supply unit”.
Procedure 4: “E2: Size (W × D × H) or less for the operation of“ D2: Measure external shape of (power supply unit) ”set for“ A: Transport worker ”and“ B: Power supply unit ” Confirm. ”
[Specific Example 3]
As contents for evaluating whether or not the replacement part can be transported, the operator inputs the input items “A”, “B”, “C” of the template of the evaluation method M1 displayed on the output device 15 by the evaluation method format selection processing unit 111, When “transporter”, “disk unit”, “part replacement”, “transport”, and “can be transported manually” are input to “D” and “E”, the evaluation method input processing unit 113 Thus, this input information is processed, and an evaluation method 201 having the following contents is obtained.
“If“ A: transport operator ”“ B: disk unit ”is“ D: transport ”in the“ C: parts replacement ”process,“ E: can be transported manually ”. ”
As described in the first specific example, the phrase 203 (“D: transport”, “E: transport manually”) extracted from the input items “D” and “E” of the input format of the evaluation method 201. ) Is replaced with a related phrase (“D2: Measure weight of (object)”, “E2: Weight (** Kg) or less (confirm))” in the replacement table 121.

Then, the following contents are output as the evaluation procedure 205.
“Procedure 1: An evaluator of the transportability of parts at the time of replacement work loads and arranges the model of“ A: transporter ”on a PC screen on which a virtual model evaluation environment exists.
Procedure 2: The evaluator captures and arranges the model “B: disk unit” in the process “C: parts replacement” in the virtual model of Procedure 1.
Procedure 3: Set “D2: Measure weight of disk unit” for “A: Transporter” and “B: Disk unit”.
Procedure 4: “E2: Less than weight (** Kg)” for the operation of “D2: Measure weight of (disk unit)” set for “A: Transporter” and “B: Disk unit” Check. ”
As described above, the evaluation procedure generation apparatus 10 can specify the contents of the evaluation method by inputting information into a predetermined input format (model), and the predetermined information related to the evaluation method 201 is replaced with the input information or the input information. The information can be used to generate an evaluation procedure 205.

  Therefore, the contents of the evaluation procedure can be specified by a certain output format, and leakage of the evaluation contents can be prevented.

  Furthermore, because the expression of the evaluation method varies depending on the creator, the evaluation procedure in the evaluation work varied. However, the expression of the evaluation procedure is replaced by a word or phrase prepared in advance, depending on the individual difference of the creator. Expressions that tend to vary can be standardized.

  Therefore, the evaluation procedure created by the evaluation procedure generation device 10 can realize an evaluation operation without variation by the worker, and the evaluation system 1A can perform more objective and accurate evaluation by an evaluation procedure with less variation. Can be done.

  Next, a configuration example of an evaluation system having an evaluation item management function performed using the evaluation procedure 205 will be described.

  An evaluation system 1B shown in FIG. 12 manages a plurality of evaluation items 200 in a database in the configuration of the evaluation system 1A. One or a plurality of evaluation methods 201 and evaluation procedures 205 are associated with the evaluation item 200.

  The evaluation system 1B includes an association information DB (database) 21, an evaluation procedure result DB (database) 23, a phrase extraction processing unit 25, an evaluation procedure alignment processing unit 27, and an evaluation procedure management unit 29.

  The association information DB 21 is a database that stores information such as products, evaluation methods, evaluation procedures, and judgment values related to the evaluation item 200.

  The phrase extraction processing unit 25 extracts a phrase (keyword) indicating the content of the evaluation method from the evaluation method 201 (evaluation methods M1, M2) of the evaluation item C1 input as a processing target by the worker. Specifically, the phrase 203 extracted from the input information to the input format of the evaluation method 201 is extracted.

  Furthermore, the phrase extraction processing unit 25 extracts the phrases of the evaluation method 201 and the evaluation procedure 205 of the existing evaluation item 200 (evaluation item C2, evaluation item C3) in the association information DB 21. Specifically, the phrase 203 extracted from the input format of the evaluation method 201 and the phrase of the input item 105a of the evaluation procedure table 105 as input information to the output format of the evaluation procedure 205 are extracted.

  The evaluation procedure alignment processing unit 27 detects a matching level between the word / phrase extracted from the evaluation method 201 of the evaluation item C1 and the word / phrase extracted from the evaluation method 201 of the existing evaluation items C2 and C3.

  For example, among the five items “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E” of the input item 103 a of the evaluation method table 103 shown in FIG. 3, “A”, “B”, “ If the word “C” matches, it is detected that the matching level is 3/5 item.

  In accordance with the state of the detected matching level, the position where the evaluation method of the evaluation item C1 is added or the position where the evaluation procedure 205 corresponding to this evaluation method is added is specified, and the specified position is stored in the association information DB 21.

  The evaluation procedure management unit 29 manages the display of the information read from the evaluation procedure result DB 23, the information stored in the evaluation procedure result DB 23, and the information of the evaluation procedure 205. The evaluation procedure input unit 291, the evaluation procedure storage unit 293, and the evaluation procedure display Part 295.

  The evaluation procedure input unit 291 reads information on the evaluation procedure 205 to be searched from a plurality of evaluation procedures 205 associated with each evaluation item in the evaluation procedure result DB 23.

  The evaluation procedure storage unit 293 adds / updates information relating to the evaluation procedure 205 to the evaluation procedure result DB 23 after the word extraction processing and the alignment insertion processing are performed for the evaluation method 201 and the evaluation procedure 205 for each evaluation item 200. To do.

  The evaluation procedure display unit 295 displays the information read from the evaluation procedure result DB 23 or the information to be stored for the operator's confirmation.

  FIG. 13 shows a processing flow of the evaluation item addition processing.

  The worker inputs information to the input format of the evaluation method 201 input to the evaluation system 1B (step S71). Then, the phrase extraction processing unit 25 extracts information related to the evaluation item 200 corresponding to the information input to the input format of the new or modified evaluation method 201 from the association information DB 21 (step S72).

  The evaluation procedure alignment processing unit 27 checks the matching level between the information input in the input format of the input evaluation method 201 and the information input in the input format of the existing evaluation method 201 (step S73).

  The evaluation procedure alignment processing unit 27 sets a position where the evaluation method 201 input by the operator is added based on the matching level confirmed in the process of step S73 (step S74).

  The evaluation procedure display unit 295 causes the output device 15 to display the storage position of the evaluation method 201 stored in the evaluation procedure result DB 23, and the operator confirms and determines the set additional position (step S75).

  The evaluation procedure storage unit 293 stores the evaluation procedure 205 corresponding to the input evaluation method 201 in the additional position of the evaluation procedure result DB 23 confirmed by the operator. Further, the stored association information of the evaluation method 201 is reflected in the association information DB 21 (step S76).

  The information of the evaluation method 201 to be stored has the same matching portion among the evaluation methods 201 stored in the evaluation procedure result DB 23 according to the number of portions that match the input information of the existing evaluation method 201. It will be inserted at the end of the evaluation method 201.

  Specifically, the operator inputs the evaluation method M1 of “evaluation item 1: workability” with respect to the information on the item for checking the gripping property of the printed board in “evaluation item 1: workability”. It is assumed that “worker”, “printed board unit”, “process during assembly”, “replace”, and “is there space” are entered in the form. Check the matching status between the input information to the input format of the existing evaluation method and the current input information. From the existing evaluation methods, input information of “worker”, “printed board unit”, “assembly process” "Is common, the evaluation method M1 is additionally registered at a position after the existing evaluation method M2.

  As a result, the evaluation system 1B can extract similar evaluation methods and evaluation procedures based on the evaluation method information input by the operator, and can insert and arrange them in the order of existing evaluation items.

  In addition, since the worker can easily add or change a new evaluation method or evaluation procedure in association with an existing evaluation item, man-hours for addition or correction can be reduced. Furthermore, since the evaluation method and the evaluation procedure corresponding to the existing evaluation items can be confirmed, it is possible to prevent duplicate settings and evaluation item omissions.
