FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining information stored in the component management database of the kitting management device shown in FIG.

The kitting management device 2 shown in FIG. 5 includes information on product production plans (hereinafter referred to as “production plan information”), product production status information (hereinafter referred to as “production status information”), and product shipment status. It is connected to the production management device 3 that manages production management information such as information (hereinafter referred to as “shipping status information”), and regularly collects production management information.

The kitting management device 2 includes a parts management database 20, a shelf remaining acquisition unit 21, a production plan acquisition unit 22, a shelf position calculation unit 23, a component configuration information acquisition unit 24, a received component information acquisition unit 25, and a receipt. It has a management unit 26 and a delivery management unit 27. The shelf remaining acquisition unit 21 corresponds to the shelf remaining rotation speed calculation unit. The shelf position calculation unit 23 corresponds to the number-of-units information calculation unit, the in-product common ratio calculation unit, the inter-product common ratio calculation unit, and the arrangement unit.

The inventory remaining acquisition unit 21 acquires the production management information from the production management device 3, and based on the production status information and the shipping status information in the acquired production management information, the inventory that is the number of products remaining in the factory. The number of, that is, the remaining inventory is calculated. The shelf-remaining acquisition unit 21 calculates a period until the calculated target product of the remaining shelf is shipped from the factory based on the shipping status information, and the target product is, for example, 1 based on the calculated period. Calculate the number of shipments per year (hereinafter referred to as "remaining shelf speed"). The remaining shelf rotation speed can be calculated, for example, by dividing the number of products shipped in a certain period by the period. For example, when the number of shipped units for 6 months is K, the monthly remaining shelf rotation speed is K/6. The shelf remaining acquisition unit 21 may calculate the expected number of times the target product is shipped, for example, in one year based on the calculated period. The shelf remaining acquisition unit 21 calculates the remaining shelf rotational speed for each product of a different type, and associates the calculated remaining shelf rotational speed information (hereinafter, referred to as “remaining shelf rotational speed information”) with the remaining shelf rotational speed information. The information is transmitted to the shelf position calculator 23 in association with the product information to be stored.

Send to. The kitting management device 2 should grasp the production plan for each product from the production plan information for each product, such as the planned number of products to be produced at each time, for example, the time when the production of the product is discontinued, the time when the production of the product is discontinued, and the like. Therefore, as will be described later, the shelf position calculation unit 23 can calculate the position of the shelf for storing the parts according to the production plan for each product, based on the production plan information for each product.

The component configuration information acquisition unit 24 acquires a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawing for each product from an external terminal (not shown) and configures the product described in the CAD drawing based on the acquired CAD drawing for each product. The number of parts to be processed is calculated for each product. The component configuration information acquisition unit 24 transmits the calculated number-of-components information (hereinafter referred to as “component configuration information”) to the shelf position calculation unit 23 in association with the product information corresponding to the component configuration information.

The shelf position calculation unit 23 stores the parts based on the concept shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, using the acquired remaining shelf rotation number information for each product, the production plan information for each product, and the component configuration information for each product. The position of the shelf to be used, that is, the shelf number is calculated. Hereinafter, a method of calculating the position of the shelf in which the parts are stored by the shelf position calculation unit 23 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, the shelf position calculation unit 23 indicates the number of products to be produced in a specific period based on at least one of the remaining shelf rotation number information for each product and the production plan information for each product. The number-of-units information is calculated, and the storage location for each product is determined based on the calculated number-of-units information. The number-of-units information may be the shelf remaining rotation number information itself, or may be the planned production number calculated from the production plan information. Specifically, the shelf position calculation unit 23 determines, based on the number-of-units information, a product that is produced in a large number in a specific period, that is, a product that is shipped a lot, as a first product that preferentially determines a storage location. Information on the selected first product (hereinafter referred to as “maximum shipped product information”) is calculated. The first product is a product that should be preferentially stored in a storage location that is easy for an operator to take out, for example, in the center of a shelf. It is desirable that the first product is a product that has a large number of products produced on average throughout the year, and it is desirable to exclude a product that is often shipped only at a specific time, for example, December. In the present embodiment, the shelf position calculation unit 23 calculates the number-of-units information indicating the number of units produced in a specific period, based on the remaining shelf rotation number information for each product and the production plan information for each product. However, by selecting the first product based on the number-of-units information, for example, a product with a large number of remaining rack revolutions but a small shipment during the year is calculated as maximum shipment product information, and a shipment through the year is performed. However, it is not necessary to calculate the maximum shipped product information for a product that has a large number of products but has a biased shipment timing. In the present embodiment, a product with a large shipment is selected based on the remaining shelf speed information for each product and the production plan information for each product, but based on only the remaining shelf speed information for each product. Alternatively, you may select products that are shipped a lot.

For example, the shelf position calculation unit 23 calculates and calculates the average number of products manufactured for each product for a specific period, for example, for one year or every six months, based on the production plan information for each product. A value obtained by multiplying the number of products produced by the remaining shelf rotation speed of the corresponding product is used as the number of products information. The shelf position calculation unit 23 calculates, as the maximum shipped product information, the information of the product having the largest value among the values obtained by the multiplication. The average production volume of products is not limited to the average production volume of the annual shipment volume of products over a specific period, but may be the production volume calculated by statistical processing such as moving average. .. By calculating the number of manufactured units by statistical processing such as moving average, for example, a product whose shipment is large only in December is not selected as the first product.

The shelf position calculation unit 23 may calculate the number-of-units information by multiplying the remaining shelf rotation speed or the number of manufactured units by a coefficient. The shelf position calculation unit 23 multiplies the remaining shelf rotation speed by a coefficient to calculate the number-of-machines information, and thereby weights the remaining shelf rotation speed to determine the storage location for each product. The shelf position calculation unit 23 can determine the storage location for each product by giving a weight to the number of products produced by multiplying the number of products produced by a coefficient and calculating information on the number of products produced.

Further, the shelf position calculation unit 23 is different from the ratio of the same parts in all the parts forming the same product for each part (hereinafter, referred to as “in-product common ratio”) based on the acquired part configuration information for each product. The ratio of the number of parts commonly used between products (hereinafter, referred to as “product common ratio”) is calculated. In other words, the product-to-product common ratio refers to the degree of closeness of products when viewed from the viewpoint of the components that make up the products.

When the maximum shipment product information is calculated, the shelf position calculation unit 23 determines, as shown in FIG. 7, the parts constituting the first product indicated by the maximum shipment product information to a specific position on the shelf 6, for example, the center of the shelf 6. Place it in the position. The center position of the shelf 6 is a position where components can be easily taken out. The shelf position calculation unit 23 calculates the in-product common ratio for each part that constitutes the first product indicated by the maximum shipped product information. The shelf position calculation unit 23 arranges the part having the highest in-product common ratio among the parts constituting the first product indicated by the maximum shipped product information at the center of the central position of the shelf 6, and the periphery from the center. Parts are arranged in order of the parts with the highest common ratio in the product. The center of the central position of the shelf 6 is the position where the parts are most easily taken out. Shelf numbers are set in advance at the positions of the shelves of the shelves 6. The shelf position calculation unit 23 calculates a shelf number to be associated with a component according to the arrangement result of the component by referring to the shelf number preset for the shelf 6.

The shelf position calculation unit 23 determines a storage location for each product of the second product that is a product other than the first product based on the inter-product common ratio. Specifically, the shelf position calculation unit 23 selects the product having the highest inter-product common ratio among the second products with respect to the first product indicated by the maximum shipped product information. The shelf position calculation unit 23 calculates the in-product common rate and the inter-product common rate for each second product before performing the selection. The shelf position calculation unit 23 further selects a product having a high product-to-product common ratio with respect to the newly selected product.

The shelf position calculation unit 23 continues to select products having a high product-to-product common ratio with respect to the products selected as described above, centering on the products indicated by the maximum shipping product information, and products from the center to the periphery. The products are arranged in the order of the products having a high commonality ratio, and the products are arranged such that the newly arranged products are arranged in the order of the products having a high commonality ratio among the products. For example, when the product indicated by the maximum shipping product information is the product A, the products A1, A2, and A3 having a high product-to-product common ratio are arranged around the product A. When the product-to-product common ratio of the product A1 to the product A2 is higher than the product-to-product common ratio of the product A2 to the product A2, the product A2 is arranged in the vicinity of the product A1 and is arranged at a place apart from the product A3. To do.

After arranging the products on the shelves 6 as described above, the shelf position calculating unit 23 arranges the components of the products in the area of the place where the products have been previously arranged based on the following priority order. The shelf position calculation unit 23 calculates the shelf number of the component according to the placement result of the component.
(Priority 1)
If the product to be newly placed includes the component already placed on the shelf 6, the component is placed on the shelf 6 having the assigned shelf number.
(Priority 2)
If there is a part that is commonly used among products between the parts of the product already placed on the shelf 6 and the parts of the product to be newly placed, a new part will be added around the parts of the already placed product. Place the product parts to be placed in.
(Priority 3)
Among the parts of the product to be newly arranged, the parts that have not been arranged are arranged in the center of the area of the shelf 6 where the parts having a high common ratio in the product are newly arranged based on the common ratio in the product of the product Place the parts in the vicinity.
(Priority 4)
Among the parts of the product to be newly arranged, the non-arranged parts are arranged in the area where the product is arranged and where the arrangement of the parts has not been decided yet.

As shown in FIG. 8, the shelf position calculation unit 23 associates the parts information with the shelf number for each part of the product and records the parts information and the shelf number in the parts management database 20.
