In particular, this process information can be efficiently filed and a work process table can be easily output. The present invention relates to an information file and an output device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when a new model is introduced in a factory for assembling vehicles, a process designer who designs a series of work processes in the assembly and inspection line of this factory adapts this work process to the new model. When newly forming
It is important for the workers in the process of actually working the parts necessary for assembling the individual vehicles to recognize them in an easy-to-understand manner, and various process information processing devices for this purpose have been proposed.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory view for explaining an example of a conventional procedure for newly organizing a work process and outputting the process information. In FIG. 10, the conventional procedure is as follows. First, each assembly drawing DW is a partial assembly drawing for each part of the vehicle.
From the parts table PT, the work information 1 is read, and the individual parts information 2 required for assembly is read while referring to each assembly drawing DW.

The work information 1 and the parts information 2 are input from a terminal device (not shown) for each model of the vehicle to describe the element work, and management information 3 for assigning and managing the production line and each assembly drawing is provided to this element. There is a work registration stage in which the element work record W is added to the work to be formed and filed.

The work information 1 has a work content field 11 for describing the work method itself, and a remark article field 12 for the validity period of each assembly and general work precautions, and the part information 2 is a part number. It has a field 21 and a part name field 22. The management information 3 is the process number field 31 which is the smallest unit in the organization of workers on the production line.
And the assembly drawing number field 32 which is the number of each assembly drawing.

The CMD displays processing instructions, messages, etc. on this screen.

[0008]

However, when a work process chart is created using the above-mentioned conventional device for processing process information, there are the following problems. (1) Even though each part number always has a specific name, the name must be added and described each time this number is entered, and multiple different operations can be performed on the same part. Since the work procedure is generally performed and a plurality of different elemental works for the same part are combined, the same part name has to be input many times, which is troublesome and easy to cause an input error. (2) In addition, many remark articles are common to each elemental work, and describing each elemental work not only takes time, but also makes the process chart complicated and difficult to read. (3) In addition, part names and remarks are often long character strings. If these character strings are added to all element work records and filed, a large amount of memory capacity is required and The economy was inefficient. (4) Furthermore, since each process table is created only by the process number and the assembly drawing number, it is difficult for the worker to understand at the assembly site. In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a process information file and an output device capable of immediately outputting a work process table that is easy for a worker to understand by compressing the process information in a memory in a production line of a factory and storing it in a memory. Is an issue.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following means. (1) There is an element work file for organizing and filing a plurality of element works which are constituent units of work based on a work procedure for assembling and inspecting a plurality of types of products on a production line of a factory. In a process information output device that reads and combines a plurality of elemental works in a work file, organizes a work process that is a constituent unit of a production line, and outputs a work process table, the elemental works are classified into identification information and description information. And a file system for forming the explanation information file for forming the explanation information together with the element work file, and a search key for searching by inputting the identification information. A registration process of registering the explanation information in the explanation information file in association with the search key by input, and the detection by inputting the identification information. An output process of forming a search key, searching the explanation information file with the search key, and additionally outputting the explanation information.

[0010]

The explanation information of the element work is filed corresponding to the identification information, and this explanation information can be added to the work process table by the identification information and output immediately.
