Description

  The present invention relates to a production management system mainly related to the advance notice of basic parts and the ordering of optional parts in the production of semi-mass products.

  There are various systems for procurement of parts in production management, and one of them is a forecast system aiming at shortening of parts procurement L / T (lead time) (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  The forecast system shortens the L / T from parts ordering to delivery by pre-disclosing information about when, how much, and which parts are necessary to parts suppliers. It is intended. The forecast system is intended for mass-produced products (products of the same standard) for which the ordered parts are determined at the time of the expected order because the targeted parts are collectively notified and ordered.

  The forecast system can be applied to a variety of small-quantity production as long as it is a product of the same standard. On the other hand, since semi-mass products have individual specifications for each customer, it is common to place an order after confirming the individual specifications after receiving an order. In other words, because semi-mass products have a part in which arrangements are confirmed after an order is received and specifications are confirmed, advance notice and ordering cannot be applied in the same manner as mass-produced products.

JP 2010-61317 A

  The production of quasi-mass products is also performed based on the production plan. Necessary parts are procured from the expected product order, but the period during which changes in the expected product order can be accommodated is limited by the production L / T required in the stage from parts procurement to manufacturing.

  In addition, semi-mass products often have a short period from receiving an order to shipping, and if all parts are arranged after the order is received, there are many cases where the time is not in time. For this reason, conventional quasi-mass products have a risk of surplus inventory when the order is not expected and orders are placed before the order is received.

  The present invention is an invention for solving the above-described problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a production management system capable of making sequential arrangements for each confirmed part mainly in ordering parts for semi-mass products. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the production management system of the present invention targets a plurality of models of products including common parts independent of product models and optional parts dependent on model specifications. When there is a prior notice of an order, when an ordering device for ordering common parts via a forecast system with a first model code number (for example, E900001) including the model code of the product, and when the order for the product is confirmed When ordering an optional part, it is associated with the customer number (for example, number S01 in FIG. 7), the model code, and the model code of the customer whose order is confirmed from the input unit (for example, the input / output terminal 130). When the number of production numbers is input, the cell design management device having a forecast allocation information management unit for requesting allocation of parts to be ordered by customer number, and accepting the allocation request In this case, the second model code number (for example, E900001, E900002, E900003 which is the model code number S02 of FIG. 7) corresponding to the number of the number assigned to the model code is generated, and the generated second The model code number and the customer number are linked and registered in the first recording unit (for example, the information recording unit 50) of the forecast system, and the first model code number and the second model code number are registered. When the number is the same, a forecast management apparatus for associating the customer model number with the first model code number is provided.

  According to the present invention, when ordering parts mainly for semi-mass products, it is possible to make sequential arrangements for each confirmed part.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, parts arrangement contents and arrangement flow in the semi-mass product according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 17 to 19.

  FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a target product type of a semi-mass product. FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow from the advance notice to the part delivery when the forecast system and the cell design system are linked.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the product assumed in this embodiment is composed of a plurality of models (for example, types C, D, and E shown in FIG. 17), and each model depends on the common parts and the specifications of each model. And optional parts to be configured. The common part is, for example, an electrical part, and refers to a part that does not change even when the product type changes due to a change in specifications. Here, the common part A and the common part B correspond to this. The optional part refers to a part that is determined by determining the product type after the detailed product specification is determined. Here, the option part C, the option part D, and the option part E correspond to this.

  FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of final arrangement in the customer production number. FIG. 19 shows an example of arrangement for customer number. This is an example in which a product of type C of product P in FIG. 17 is arranged in the arrangement number “E900001” corresponding to the model code number. From here, the contents of the arrangement example of FIG. 19 along the flow of arrangement of FIG. 18 are shown.

  In the cell design system related to the production management system, it is easy to specify which work order is the work contents of the individual designer. Therefore, the work order number (common name, work number) is usually assigned to each work. Is used and the cost is tabulated. Designers, etc. estimate the cost for each work number, proceed with the review according to the progress of the work, and finally calculate the profit and loss by combining the budget with the actual results. For this reason, it is important for the production management system to be managed by “Serial number”. In the production management system, the customer production number, the arrangement production number, the model code production number, etc. are used properly in order to identify the production number.

  Before orders # 1 and # 2 in FIG. 18, product orders are expected, and the product and number are known, but the product specifications are not finalized. At this stage, using the ordering device 140 (see FIG. 1), the “common part A” and “common part B” that are common among the product types are notified and ordered via the forecast system FCS (see FIG. 1). . “Common part A” and “Common part B” are parts having component codes “Z001” to “Z007” in FIG. Since the optional items “B005” to “B011” have not been confirmed, the advance notice and ordering by the forecast system FCS cannot be performed at the steps # 1 and # 2.

  Specifically, at the stage of # 2, “common part A” and “common part B” are ordered with an order number “E900001” composed of, for example, the model code “E900” and its branch number “001”. To do. However, at the stage # 2, it is unclear to which customer work number the arrangement work number “E900001” is linked. For example, at the stage of # 4, there is a possibility that the customer numbers “A001”, “A002”, and “A003” are associated.

  At the stage of # 3 in FIG. 18, the order is received and the specification and product type are determined. Since the product type shown in FIG. 17 is determined to be type C, the arrangement target is “optional part C”, and “B005” to “B011” in FIG. 19 are arranged from the cell design system CDS (see FIG. 1).

  In addition, since the customer who has received the order is determined at the stage # 3 in FIG. 18 and the customer production number “A001” is determined, the arrangement production number “E900001” announced by the cell design system CDS at the stage # 4. Need to be associated with the customer work number “A001”.

  Note that FCS is an abbreviation for ForeCast System, CDS is an abbreviation for Cell Designing System, and PMS is an abbreviation for Production Management System.

  The production management system PMS (see FIG. 1) of the present embodiment cooperates with the forecast system FCS and the cell design system CDS in order to link the parts ordered by the forecast system FCS and the parts ordered by the cell design system CDS. Means (forecast allocation information management unit 111) is one of the features. Hereinafter, the production management system PMS according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a production management system including a cell design system and a forecast system according to this embodiment. Here, for the basic parts that are not affected by the change in the detailed specification with the semi-mass product as the target product, the advance notice and ordering by the forecast system FCS from the ordering device 140 of the cell design system CDS (# 1, # in FIG. 18). 2), the optional part determined by the determination of the detailed specification is ordered from the ordering device 140 of the cell design system CDS (see # 5 in FIG. 18), and each ordered part is received (# in FIG. 18). 6) and paying out to the manufacturing site (see # 7 in FIG. 18) will be described as an example.

  In the cell design system CDS of FIG. 1, a cell design system device 110 (cell design management device) is stored in an information recording unit 120 (stored with various information data files described later) via a network 70 such as a LAN (Local Area Network). A second recording unit), an input / output terminal 130 used by a designer to input product specifications, and an ordering device 140 for ordering an ordered component.

  In the forecast system FCS of FIG. 1, the forecast management device 10 includes a parts development device 20 that develops each product into specification parts via a network 70, an inventory management device 30 that manages the loading and unloading of stock parts, and parts to order. Purchased product management apparatus 40 for managing the data, an information recording unit 50 (first recording unit) for storing a data file to be described later, and an input / output used for confirming the number of forecasts at the part ordering source It is connected to the terminal 60. Further, the forecast management apparatus 10 is configured to realize data communication with an input / output terminal 81 used for confirming the number of forecasts at an ordering party via a communication network 80 such as the Internet. .

  In addition, although the input / output terminal 60, the input / output terminal 81, and the input / output terminal 130 are displayed as one terminal, there may be a plurality.

  The configuration of the cell design system apparatus 110 will be described in detail. In the cell design system device 110, a forecast allocation information management unit 111, a product specification information management unit 112, a product hierarchy information management unit 113, and an arrangement parts information management unit 114 are mounted.

  The forecast allocation information management unit 111 has a work number for which an order has been confirmed from the input / output terminal 130 (for example, work number S01 in FIG. 7, equivalent to a customer work number), a model code, and the number of work numbers associated with the model code. Is entered, a request is made to allocate parts to be ordered according to the entered work number.

  In the forecast system FCS, when the allocation request is accepted, the second model code number corresponding to the number of the number assigned to the model code (for example, E900001, E900002, which is the model code number S02 in FIG. 7). E900003), the generated second model code serial number and the customer serial number are linked and registered in the information recording unit 50 (first storage unit) of the forecast system FCS, and the first If the model code number (for example, E900001, which has already been ordered) is the same as the second model code number, the customer model number is linked to the first model code number. The association process or the like may be performed by the forecast management apparatus 10 via the inventory management apparatus 30. Upon receiving the registration result, the cell design system CDS registers and registers the associated (related) customer number and model code number in the information recording unit 120 (second storage unit). A model code number or the like is displayed on the input / output terminal 130.

  The product specification information management unit 112 registers the product specification (see FIG. 14) input by the user from the input / output terminal 130 in the information recording unit 120.

  The product hierarchy information management unit 113 registers the product hierarchy information (see FIG. 8) in the information recording unit 120 from the above-described model code number, number of product numbers, and product specifications.

  Based on the product specification information registered in the information recording unit 120 and the data of the product hierarchy information, the arranged part information management unit 114 selects an arrangement target part from the arrangement master information (see FIG. 6) of the information recording unit 120 described later. The arrangement information is selected and transmitted to the ordering device 140.

  The cell design system CDS is operated by a server. The server includes an input / output terminal 130, an ordering device 140, a central processing unit (CPU), an external storage device (for example, information recording unit 120), and a memory. The central processing unit executes various programs stored in the memory. In the memory, various programs executed by the server (for example, programs in each management unit of the forecast allocation information management unit 111, the product specification information management unit 112, the product hierarchy information management unit 113, and the arranged part information management unit 114) And keep temporary data. The external storage device is a storage device such as a hard disk. In addition, the program of each management part may be operated by one server as a cell design system management program, and may be operated by a plurality of servers.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an information recording unit of the cell design system. The information recording unit 120 includes a product specification item information data file 1201 (see FIG. 3), a specification option information data file 1202 (see FIG. 4), a product mounting information data file 1203 (see FIG. 5), and an arrangement product master information data file. 1204 (see FIG. 6), an order product information data file 1205 (see FIG. 7), and a product hierarchy information data file 1206 (see FIG. 8) are stored. Hereinafter, these files 1201 to 1206 will be described in order.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a product specification information data file. The product specification item information data file 1201 is associated with a mounting key, a specification code, and a specification name. The defined product specification information indicates data items held as product information. The specification name is used for identifying the contents indicated by the specification item, and “Serial number”, “System”, etc. are used here. The specification code is used to identify the product specification. Here, codes such as “S01” and “S01_01” are used. The implementation key is the implementation key shown in FIG.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a specification option information data file. The specification option information data file 1202 associates the above-described specification code (see FIG. 3) with option names and option keys. The option name is for recognizing the option, and “one system” or the like is used here. The option key identifies an option, and a code such as “C01” is used here.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a product mounting information data file. The product mounting information data file 1203 is associated with mounting keys, hierarchies, and arrangement keys. A product configuration for each arrangement is created based on the product mounting information data file 1203. The implementation key is an item to be a key for creating a product configuration, and a code such as “JJ” is used here.

  The hierarchy is an item for associating product mounting configurations, and symbols such as “J **-K **” are used here. Here, “-” means a change in the hierarchy, and “J **-K **” indicates that “K **” is associated with the lower hierarchy of the item “J **”. “**” is assigned a number such as “01” in the configuration creation order, and is, for example, “J01-K01”, “J01-K02”. The arrangement key is a key for associating with items in the arrangement item master information data file 1204 to be described later in each layer, and a code such as “KY01_01” is used here.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an arrangement item master information data file. The arrangement item master information data file 1204 associates the arrangement key described above (see FIG. 5) with arrangement conditions, the number of parts, and the part code. The arrangement condition is for determining whether to arrange parts, and “S01_01 = C01” or the like is set here. The number represents the number arranged at one time, and a number such as “2” is set. The part code is a code for identifying a part to be arranged, and a code such as “B001” is used.

  For example, the arrangement part code “B001” is the arrangement condition “S01_01 = C01”, and when the specification code “S01_01” is the option key “C01” from the specification option information data file 1202 (see FIG. 4), that is, When the number of systems is one, the number “1” is arranged.

  Similarly, the arrangement part code “B010” is the arrangement condition “S01_01 = C01 AND S01_02 = C01”, the specification code “S01_01” is the option key “C01”, and the specification code “S01_02” is the option key “C01”. In other words, when the number of systems is one and the frequency is 50 Hz, the number “1” is arranged.

  In FIG. 6, when the arrangement condition is “ALL”, it means that the arrangement is made if the arrangement key matches regardless of the product specification.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing an order product information data file. The order product information data file 1205 holds the specification code of the product specification item information data file 1201 (see FIG. 3) as a row record for each arrangement unit. That is, the order product information data file 1205 includes “S01” (production number), “S01_01” (system), “S01_02” (frequency), and “S02” (model code number). The specifications of “S01_01” (system) and “S01_02” (frequency) are option keys of the specification option information data file 1202 (see FIG. 4).

  Specifically, in the case of the row 701 (“S01” (product number) is “A001”), “S01_01” is “C01” (one system), “S01_02” is “C02” (frequency is 60 Hz) “S02” (model code serial number), which represents “E900001”, “E900002”, and “E900003”, respectively.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a product hierarchy information data file. In the product hierarchy information data file 1206, the above-described mounting key, hierarchy, parent production number, arrangement production number, arrangement key are hierarchically associated. The product hierarchy information data file 1206 includes one key (line 801) of the parent implementation key “JJ” and the number of model code numbers entered by the user, which will be described later, and the implementation key classification “ KK "rows (rows 802 to 804).

  After the implementation key of the product hierarchy information data file 1206 is determined, the product hierarchy information data file 1206 shown in FIG. 8 is based on the implementation key hierarchy and the arrangement key that match the implementation key of the product implementation information data file 1203 shown in FIG. Registered as At this time, as described above, the layer “J **” is registered as 1206 in the product layer information data file by replacing the “**” part with a serial number as in “J01”.

  As the parent work number of the product hierarchy information data file 1206, the work number registered in S01 of the order product information data file 1205 (see FIG. 7) is set. As the ordering number, the number of the ordering product information data file 1205 is set for the mounting key JJ, and the model code numbering of the ordering product information data file 1205 is set in order for the mounting key KK.

  For example, when the number of model code number is 3, the row of the mounting key classification “KK” is registered in 3 rows (rows 802 to 804). At the time of arrangement, the specification information of the ordered product information data file 1205 (see FIG. 7) and the arrangement item master information data file 1204 (see FIG. 7) are used for each row using this data file. The target arrangement parts are determined from the arrangement information (see FIG. 6).

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an information recording unit of the forecast system. Specifically, the information recording unit 50 is a storage device such as a hard disk. The information recording unit 50 stores a model code assignment information data file 501 (see FIG. 10) and the like.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a model code assignment information data file. The model code assignment information data file 501 is associated with a model code, a branch number, and an assigned work number. A branch number is assigned to each arrangement unit for one model code, and the model code and the model code number assigned by the branch number are managed.

Next, the operation of each management unit will be described.
[Forward product allocation process in the forecast allocation information management department]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the forecast allocation process. FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a forecast allocation screen. FIG. 11 is a procedure related to the forecast product allocation process S110. The process procedure of the cell design system device 110, the information recording unit 120, the inventory management device 30, and the information recording unit 50 in response to an input from the input / output terminal 130 will be described. To do.

  When the specification of the optional product is confirmed in # 3 of FIG. 18, it is necessary to associate with the advance notice which is the common part ordered in # 2 of FIG. 18 in # 4 of FIG.

  When the user logs in to the forecast allocation information management unit 111 of the cell design system apparatus 110 using the input / output terminal 130, the forecast allocation screen W111, which is an input / display screen shown in FIG. Is displayed. The forecast allocation screen W111 includes an input item of a work number 121 (corresponding to a customer work number), a model code 122, a number 123 that is the number of the work number necessary for the model code, and a reserved model code work number 124 (model code and An item for displaying the branch number) is displayed.

  First, the user inputs an operation number 121, a model code 122, and a number 123 (number of operation numbers) using the input / output terminal 130, and executes in the state of the forecast allocation screen W111 shown in FIG. When the button 125 is pressed (process S111), it is transmitted to the cell design system apparatus 110 (process S112). The cell design system device 110 transmits the serial number 121, the model code 122, and the number 123 input by the user to the inventory management device 30 (processing S113).

  The inventory management device 30 registers the model code number for the number based on the number 121, the model code 122, and the number 123 sent from the cell design system device 110 (processing S114), and the information recording unit 50 registers the registration result. Is transmitted to the inventory management apparatus 30 (process S115). Thereafter, the inventory management device 30 transmits the registration result (for example, the model code number “E900001”, “E900002”, “E900003” associated with the number 121) to the cell design system device 110 (processing S116). . The cell design system apparatus 110 registers the received registration result (model code number) in the information recording unit 120 (processing S117), and the information recording unit 120 transmits the registration result (processing S118).

  Specifically, in the process S117, the cell design system apparatus 110 registers the product number 121 in S01 (product number) in the received product information data file 1205, and sets all model code product numbers in S02 (model code product number). ). After that, the cell design system apparatus 110 transmits the registered model code number to the input / output terminal 130 (processing S119), and as shown in FIG. 12B, the cell design system number 110 displays the model code number 124 on the forecast allocation screen W111. indicate.

  In addition, when the inventory management apparatus 30 receives the registration result in the process S115, the inventory management apparatus 30 notifies the forecast management apparatus 10, and the forecast management apparatus 10 arranges the order number (first model) stored in the information recording unit 50. (Corresponding to the code number) and whether or not there is a match with the currently registered model code number (corresponding to the second model code number), and if it matches, the first model code number And the work number 121 (corresponding to the customer work number).

  FIG. 12 illustrates the case where the work number 121 is “A001”. However, an example of input of the forecast allocation screen W111 in the customer work numbers “A002” and “A003” when the specifications of other models are fixed will be described. When the user inputs “A002” as the serial number 121, “E900” as the model code 122, “2” as the number 123 using the input / output terminal 130, and presses the execution button 125 (processing S111), the processing S114 is performed. The inventory management device 30 determines the branch number of the model code number already registered, and registers the model code number “E900004” and “E900005”.

  Similarly, using the input / output terminal 130, the user inputs “A003” as the serial number 121, “E900” as the model code 122, “4” as the number 123, and presses the execution button 125 (processing S111). In step S114, the inventory management apparatus 30 determines the branch number of the model code number already registered, and registers the model code numbers “E900006”, “E900007”, “E900008”, and “E900009”.

  As a result of registration, in the process S117, in the order product information data file 1205 shown in FIG. 7, in the case of the row 702, there are two model code numbers “S01” “A002” and “S02”, and “E900004” respectively. "E900005" is registered. Similarly, in the case of the row 703, there are four model code numbers “S01” “A003” and “S02”, and “E900006”, “E900007”, “E900008”, and “E900009” are registered respectively.

FIG. 20 shows a procedure related to the product hierarchy information registration process S200 of the product hierarchy information management unit 113, and shows a flow related to the creation of the product hierarchy information data file 1206 (see FIG. 8) by the cell design system apparatus 110.

  The product hierarchy information management unit 113 of the cell design system apparatus 110, after the registration of the product number and product specification is completed, the product specification item information data file 1201 (see FIG. 3) and product mounting information stored in the information recording unit 120. The specification information of the data file 1203 (see FIG. 5) and the order product information data file 1205 (see FIG. 7) is referred to (processing S201). The product hierarchy information management unit 113 creates a product hierarchy information data file 1206 (see FIG. 8) from the referenced specification information, and implements a mounting key, hierarchy, production number (parent production number), model code production number (arrangement production number). The arrangement key is registered (process S202).

  For example, the row 701 in FIG. 7 will be described. In the case of the product number “A001”, the implementation key “JJ” of the specification code “S01” of the product specification item information data file 1201 is first acquired for the specification code “S01”. Next, the hierarchy “J **” and the arrangement key “KY01_01” are acquired from the row of the mounting key “JJ” in the product mounting information data file 1203, and the row 801 for the production number “A001” is stored in the product hierarchy information data file 1206. (See FIG. 8). A line is created in the product hierarchy information data file 1206 only for the specification code to which the mounting key of the product specification item information data file 1201 is assigned.

  That is, the implementation key “KK” of the specification code “S02” of the product specification item information data file 1201 is acquired for the specification code “S02”. Next, the hierarchy “J **-K **” and the arrangement key “KY01_02” are acquired from the row of the implementation key “KK” in the product implementation information data file 1203, and the product number “A001” is stored in the product hierarchy information data file 1206. Create rows 802-804 (see FIG. 8) for.

  When lines 801 to 804 are created in the product hierarchy information data file 1206, “**” of the hierarchy (see FIG. 5) assigns serial numbers to items in the same hierarchy. For example, if two lines of “J **” are created, the first line is “J01”, the second line is “J02”, and “J **” and “J **-K **” are 1 When they are created one by one, they are “J01” and “J01-K01”.

Therefore, in FIG. 6, the arrangement condition item that matches the specification is selected with the arrangement key “KY01_01”. That is, the arrangement conditions are “S01 — 01 = C01” and “ALL”, and the selected result corresponds to the reference numeral 1621 in FIG.

  In addition, in the row 802 in FIG. 8, the arrangement key “KY01 — 02” is associated. In the row 701 of FIG. 7, “S01 — 01 = C01” and “S01 — 02 = C02” are linked as specifications. Accordingly, in FIG. 6, the arrangement condition item that matches the specifications is selected with the arrangement key “KY01_02”. That is, the arrangement conditions are “S01 — 01 = C01”, “ALL”, “S01 — 02 = C02”, “S01 — 01 = C01 OR S01 — 02 = C01”, and the selected result corresponds to reference numeral 1622 in FIG.

  Similarly, the arrangement key “KY01_02” is linked in the rows 803 and 804 of FIG. As specifications, “S01 — 01 = C01” and “S01 — 02 = C02” are linked. Accordingly, in FIG. 6, the arrangement condition item that matches the specifications is selected with the arrangement key “KY01_02”. That is, the arrangement conditions are “S01 — 01 = C01”, “ALL”, “S01 — 02 = C02”, “S01 — 01 = C01 OR S01 — 02 = C01”, and the selected results correspond to reference numerals 1623 and 1624 in FIG.

  Next, when the user presses the arrangement execution button 166, the input / output terminal 130 transmits the input result (processing S157). Then, the cell design system apparatus 110 transmits arrangement information displayed in the list of arrangement contents 162 on the parts arrangement screen W114 in FIG. 16 to the ordering apparatus 140 (processing S158). Thereafter, the ordering device 140 places an order from the received information on the arrangement number and the arrangement parts.

The characteristics of this embodiment will be described again as follows.

  The production management system PMS, when there is an advance notice of the order for the product, sends the common part with the first model code number including the product model code via the forecast system FCS at # 2 in FIG. If an order for the product is confirmed at the ordering device 140 for ordering and # 3 in FIG. 18, when an optional part is ordered at # 5 in FIG. 18, from the input unit (for example, the input / output terminal 130). When the operation number 121 (see FIG. 12), the model code 122, and the number 123 of the operation number associated with the model code are input (processing S111), the customer operation number is determined. It has a cell design management apparatus (for example, cell design system apparatus 110) having a forecast allocation information management unit 111 that requests allocation of parts to be ordered.

  When the forecast management apparatus 10 of the forecast system FCS receives the allocation request, the forecast management apparatus 10 generates second model code number corresponding to the number of model numbers linked to the model code, and generates the generated second model. The code number and the customer number are linked and registered in the first recording unit (for example, the information recording unit 50) of the forecast system FCS (processing S114), and the first model code number and the second number are registered. If the model code number is the same, the customer model number can be linked to the first model code number.

  The cell design management device further stores arrangement item master information (for example, arrangement item master information data file 1204) in which an arrangement key at the time of ordering, an arrangement condition for each product specification of each product, and a part code are associated with each other. When the customer number and product specifications (for example, the product specification 142 in FIG. 14) are input from the recording unit (for example, the information recording unit 120) and the input unit (processing S131), the product specification for each customer number. Information (for example, “S01 — 01 = C01”, “S01 — 02 = C02”) is registered in the second recording unit (processing S132). Based on the product specification information management unit 112 and the product specification information, the customer number is the parent product number. The product code information is set as the product code and the product code information including the arrangement key (eg, the product code information file 1206) is created and registered in the second recording unit. When the customer number is input from the management unit 113 and the input unit (processing S151), the arrangement key and arrangement of the arrangement item master information based on the product specification information and the product hierarchy information registered in the second recording unit A part code is selected from the conditions (process S154), and the selected part code is transmitted to the ordering device 140 (process S158).

  The forecast allocation information management unit 111 registers, in the second recording unit, a registration result obtained by associating the second model code number and the customer number registered in the first recording unit of the forecast system FCS. (Process S117).
