In the application condition table 2320, the content of the application condition of the common notation rule is stored. In the application condition table 2320, for example, the guidance ID 2321 of the common notation rule using the application condition, the expression ID 2232 for specifying the expression constituting the application condition, and the application condition are determined. Determination method (2323) indicating how to make, comparison object (2324) indicating the item to be judged, comparison expressions (2325, 2327) indicating the determination content for determining the comparison object and the values (2326, 2328) Etc. are memorized. The common definition term is stored in the comparison target 2324 of the application condition table 2320 of the common notation rule storage unit 230. In addition, the item in which "*" is registered changes a set value for every manufacturing line, and a value is set by an operator when each line processing part 30 produces | generates a guidance rule exclusively.

Since the common notation rule is created based on the guidance rules set in each manufacturing line, the structure of the common notation rule memory | storage 230 is basically similar to the structure of the guidance rule memory | storage part 120. FIG. However, the common notation rule storage unit 230 only needs to store information necessary for creating a common notation rule. For example, a comparison between the relation file 2314 of the common notation rule table, the output timing 2316, and the application condition table is performed. It is not necessary to store the values 2326 and 2328 of the expression.

In the above, the functional structure of the operation support system 1 was demonstrated. Next, an example of the setting method of the guidance rule of each manufacturing line in this operation support system 1 is demonstrated. Although the guidance rule in each manufacturing line can independently set the guidance rule for each manufacturing line, in the operation support system 1 which concerns on this embodiment, you may set the guidance rule exclusively by the guidance rule set in another manufacturing line. have. Hereinafter, an example of the setting method of the new guidance rule by conversion of the guidance rule in the operation support system 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.

<3. How to Set New Guidance Rules by Exclusive Guidance Rules>

In the operation support system 1, three types of processing are largely performed in order to set a new guidance rule for the magnetic line by dedicating the guidance rule set in another manufacturing line. First, in order to collectively manage the terms for each production line used in each production line, registration processing of common definition terms is performed. Then, a common notation rule creation process for creating a common notation rule from the guidance rules set in each production line, and a process of creating a dedicated rule for creating a new guidance rule for its own line using the common notation rule are performed.

[Registration Processing of Common Definition Terms]

First, based on FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the process of registering common definition terms in the common definition term storage unit 220 using the common description management terminal 200 will be described. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a common definition term registration screen 301 for registering common definition terms. FIG. 9: is a figure which shows an example of the setting screen 311 which carries out association of a common definition term and the comparison object name (term for each production line) in each manufacturing line.

In order to divert the guidance rule between a plurality of production lines, first, association of the terms per production line and common definition terms used in each production line is performed in advance. As a result, the common content processing unit 20 manages terms that have different names but are used with the same semantic content.

The common definition terms are set and registered by the operator using the common description management terminal 200, and are recorded in the common definition terms storage unit 220. This operator may be an administrator of the operation support system 1 or another person. At this time, the display processing unit 204 can display the common definition term registration screen 301 shown in FIG. 8 on the display unit 206, for example, so that the operator can easily register the common definition term. In the common definition term registration screen 301, the definition of the common definition term, the data type of the said common definition term, and the definition of the common definition term can be registered. When an operator presses the add button 305 displayed on the common definition term registration screen 301, it becomes possible to register a new common definition term in the list of common definition terms.

The operator may text input arbitrary information into the input definition areas 302, 303, 304 of the common definition terms, data types, and definitions of the common definition terms registration screen 301. In addition, since the data types are generally unified, the contents of the input candidates (for example, "string", "numeric value", etc.) are displayed in the drop-down format in the input area 303, and the input candidates are displayed in the input candidates. You can also let the operator select the desired data type. When the common definition term, data type, and definition are input in the common definition term registration screen 301, the operator presses the registration button 306 displayed on the common definition term registration screen 301. Thereby, the common definition term registration information which consists of the input common definition term, data type, and definition is output to the management calculator 210, and a new common definition term is newly registered in the common definition term storage part 220. FIG.

Next, the operator performs an operation for associating the common definition term registered in the common definition term registration screen 301 with the comparison object name of each manufacturing line. The operation may be performed at the timing of registering the common definition terms together with the registration or at any timing. The association between the common definition term and the comparison target name of each production line can be performed by displaying the setting screen 311 shown in FIG. 9 on the display unit 206, for example. On the setting screen 311, the common definition term registration information 312 of the common definition term registered on the common definition term registration screen 301 is displayed. In addition, on the setting screen 311, an input area 313 of a comparison target name for inputting a comparison target name (term for each production line) of each production line corresponding to each common definition term is displayed. The input area 313 of a name to be compared is provided for each production line like the areas 313A, 313B, and 313C.

In the input area 313 of a comparison target name, the unit of a comparison target name (term per manufacturing line) and the said comparison object name (term per manufacturing line) can be input as the input item. The input area 313 of the name to be compared may be a text input area so that an operator can input these input items arbitrarily. However, it is not necessary to do this. For example, candidates of comparison target names (terms per manufacturing line) similar to the common definition terms may be displayed as the candidate list 314. By displaying the candidate list 314, even when there are a large number of terms for each manufacturing line used in the manufacturing line, the terms for each manufacturing line and the common definition term can be easily related to each other, and the name of the comparison target (manufacturing line) Terminology) can be prevented.

"Comparative object names (terms per manufacturing line) and units thereof" displayed on the candidate list 314 are automatically managed through the network 10 by a higher-level computer managing the operation support system 1. 210 is notified. The common definition terminology registration processing unit 214 of the management calculator 210 differs from the "input area 313 of the comparison target name" for each production line on the setting screen 311 through the interface unit 212. Display the "Comparative target name (term per manufacturing line) and its unit" obtained from the computer, and display "Comparative target name (term per manufacturing line) and its unit" on the common notation management terminal 200. Output to the processing unit 204. According to the instruction | indication from the management calculator 210, the display processing part 204 has the comparison object name (term for each manufacturing line), and its unit for the "input area of a comparison object name with respect to the manufacturing line of the setting screen 311. 313 ", and display them on the display unit 206 in a list format.

The candidate list 314 displays all or part of the comparison target names (terms for each production line) used in the production line. At this time, the comparison target names (terms for each manufacturing line) having a high similarity with the common definition terms are displayed above the candidate list 314 to select the comparison target names (terms for each manufacturing line) from the candidate list 314. This becomes easy, and it is easy to set the comparison target name (term for each production line). The similarity degree between a common definition term and a comparison target name (term by a production line) is a comparison target name in "the ratio including the letter contained in a common definition term" in the comparison target name (term by a production line), for example. Judgment can be made from the arrangement of the characters (terms per production line) or by using an existing method. In addition, the process of determining the display order of the candidate list 314 may be performed by the common definition term registration processing unit 214 or may be performed by the display processing unit 204. The operator inputs a comparison target name (term for each manufacturing line) of each manufacturing line to be associated with the common definition term, and then presses the registration button 315 displayed on the setting screen 311 using the input device. . Thereby, the association between the common definition term and the comparison target name (term for each production line) of each production line is registered in the common definition term storage unit 220. The candidate list may also be displayed for the unit of the comparison target name (the term for each production line) similarly to the comparison target name (the term for each production line).

[Creation processing of common notation rule]

Next, based on FIG. 10, an example of the creation process of a common description rule is demonstrated. 10 is a timing chart showing an example of the flow of processing until a common notation rule is created. In this embodiment, the guidance rule is newly set and registered in the A line of the manufacturing line.

First, it is assumed that the guidance rule for the magnetic line is registered in the A line processing unit 30A of the A line (step S100). The operator uses the line terminal 100A to input information such as guidance application conditions, relationship files, comments, output timings, and the like from the guidance rule registration screen, for example. The guidance rule registration screen can be configured, for example, as described in Japanese Patent No. 4371325. When the registration of the input guidance rule is determined, the guidance calculator 110A records the guidance rule set by the guidance management unit 114A in the guidance rule storage unit 120A. At the same time, the guidance calculator 110A notifies the common content processing unit 20 of the contents of the registered guidance rule and the line specifying information specifying the manufacturing line to which the guidance rule has been registered (step S102).

When the common content processing unit 20 receives a notification that the guidance rule is newly registered on the A line in the interface unit 212, the common content processing unit 20 creates a common notation rule by the common notation management unit 216 (step S104). The common notation management unit 216 refers to the common definition term storage unit 220, and creates a common notation rule in which the comparison target name (term for each production line) of the notified guidance rule is rewritten as common definition terms. . For example, suppose the guidance rule of guidance ID "1" shown in FIG. 3 is newly registered. At this time, the comparison target name (term for each manufacturing line) of the formula ID "1" (refer to FIG. 4) which shows application conditions is "size (thickness)." The common notation management unit 216, which has obtained the registered contents of the guidance rule of the guidance ID "1", refers to the common definition term storage unit 220, and defines a common definition corresponding to the comparison target name "size (thickness)" of the A line. It can be appreciated that the term "material thickness" (see FIG. 5).

The common notation management unit 216 rewrites the guidance rule in which the comparison target name "size (thickness)" of the guidance rule of guidance ID "1" is rewritten in common definition term "material thickness" as a common notation rule. It registers in the notation rule memory | storage part 230 (step S106). Thereby, in the application condition table 2320 of the common notation rule memory | storage part 230, as shown in FIG. 7, the comparison object 2324 of the formula ID "1" of guidance ID "1001" is made into "material thickness". Are recorded.

In this way, when a new guidance rule is registered in each production line, the registration content is notified to the common notation management unit 216 of the common content processing unit 20 via the network 10. The common notation rule is created in the common notation management unit 216 and recorded in the common notation rule storage unit 230. When the common notation rule is newly registered in the common notation rule storage unit 230, the common notation management unit 216 transmits the common notation rule storage unit 230 to each of the line processing units 30A and 30B through the interface unit 212. Notifies you that it has been updated. The line terminal 100 of the line processing unit 30A, 30B which has received the notification notifies the operator that the common notation rule storage unit 230 has been updated by the display unit 106 or the like. As a result, the operator can recognize that the common notation rule is newly registered. In addition, although it was made here to notify the line processing part 30A, 30B of all the manufacturing lines which the common content processing part 20 manages that the common notation rule memory | storage part 230 was updated, it does not necessarily need to do this. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, only the A line processing unit 30A may be notified that the common notation rule storage unit 230 has been updated.

[Creation Processing of Dedicated Rule]

Next, based on FIGS. 11-13, an example of the "process of creating a dedicated rule" which registers the guidance rule of a manufacturing line using a common notation rule is demonstrated. 11 is a timing chart showing an example of the flow of the process of creating a dedicated rule. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a dedicated rule creation screen for creating a dedicated rule. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of updating after creation of a dedicated rule of the common notation rule table 2310 stored in the common notation rule storage unit 230 of FIG. 6. Hereinafter, it demonstrates as creating a guidance rule using a common notation rule using C line as a setting destination (transmission destination) among manufacturing lines. In addition, a dedicated rule shall refer to the guidance rule created using the common notation rule.

Creation of the guidance rule using the common description rule is started by notifying the common description management unit 216 of the registration start of the guidance rule using the common description rule (step S200). For example, when the operator of the line terminal 100C of the C line starts the creation of the guidance rule using the common notation rule, the notification that the operation is started is notified of the interface unit 112C and the management calculator 210. The interface unit 212 is output to the common notation management unit 216.

The common notation management part 216 which received the notification which starts creation of a dedicated rule starts creation of a dedicated rule candidate (step S202). The dedicated rule candidate is created by rewriting the common notation rule stored in the common notation rule storage unit 230 into a description (notation) corresponding to the production line (C line in the present embodiment) in which the dedicated rule is created. When the common notation management unit 216 acquires a common notation rule from the common notation rule storage unit 230, the common notation management unit 216 refers to the common definition term storage unit 220 and corresponds to a comparison target name (common definition term) of the common notation rule. The comparison target name (term for each manufacturing line) of the C line to be acquired is acquired. The common notation management unit 216 rewrites the comparison target name of the common notation rule into the acquired comparison target name (term for each production line) of the obtained C line, and makes it a dedicated rule candidate.

A dedicated rule candidate may be created with respect to all the common notation rules memorize | stored in the common notation rule memory | storage part 230, and may be created only about the common notation rule applicable to a C line. The common notation rule applicable to the C line means that the comparison object name (term for each manufacturing line) of the C line corresponding to the comparison object name (common definition term) of the common notation rule is registered in the common definition term storage unit 220. In this case, it is a guidance rule written by rewriting the said comparison object name (term by a production line) by the said common definition term. In addition, for the common notation rule in which the C line is registered in the registration line 2318 (refer FIG. 6) of the common notation rule table of the common notation rule memory | storage part 230, you may not make a dedicated rule candidate. . If there is already a registration on the registration line 2318, the common notation rule is created based on the guidance rule set on the C line, or a dedicated rule is already created on the C line based on the common notation rule. This is because it corresponds to either.

When the dedicated rule candidate is created in this manner, the common notation management unit 216 transmits the dedicated rule candidate to the C line processing unit 30B (step S204).

The C line processing unit 30B having received the dedicated rule candidate from the common notation management unit 216 of the common content processing unit 20 performs the display process by the display processing unit 104C, and then sends the dedicated rule candidate to the display unit 106C. Display. The dedicated rule candidate is displayed on the dedicated rule candidate display screen 321 shown in FIG. 12, for example. On the dedicated rule candidate display screen 321, the dedicated rule candidates created by the common notation management unit 216 are displayed in the display areas 322a and 322b for each of the dedicated rule candidates. In the dedicated rule candidate display screen 321, registration buttons 323a and 323b are provided in correspondence with the display areas 322a and 322b so that each dedicated rule candidate can be registered as a guidance rule of the C line. .

The content of each item displayed in the display areas 322a and 322b of each dedicated rule candidate can be changed by the operator. Thereby, for example, an operator can change the content of a comment according to a manufacturing line, or can set the item which is not set by a common notation rule because of the setting item which changes for every manufacturing line. The operator moves the cursor to the input area of each item displayed on the dedicated rule candidate display screen 321, and corrects the displayed content and inputs information. In addition, the input area of an item which does not need to be changed, such as a guidance ID, may be made impossible to input.

An operator such as an operator of the C line terminal 100C searches for a dedicated rule candidate to be set on the C line or a dedicated rule candidate similar to the guidance rule to be set from the dedicated rule candidate display screen 321. If the registration can be performed as it is without changing the contents of the dedicated rule candidate, the operator presses the registration button 323 on the dedicated rule candidate display screen 321 corresponding to the dedicated rule candidate, and the own line (in this embodiment). Registration is performed as a guidance rule of C line) (step 208). If the dedicated rule candidate needs processing such as changing the item content for the C line, the operator corrects the item content, creates a guidance rule for the self line (step S206), and then registers the guidance rule. It performs (step S208). When the registration button 323 is pressed, the guidance rule is recorded in the guidance rule storage unit 120C by the guidance management unit 114C.

Here, the number of dedicated rule candidates displayed on the dedicated rule candidate display screen 321 is a large number of other production lines based on, for example, the number of registered lines in the common notation rule table 2310 of the common notation rule storage unit 230. You may display in the order in which it is dedicated. It is because it is thought that it is a guiding rule with high versatility as it is diverted to many manufacturing lines. By displaying the dedicated rule candidates in this order, the dedicated rule candidates can be displayed in the order that they are most likely to be dedicated to the C line, and the useful rule candidates having high usefulness can be given priority to the operator.

Alternatively, by adding an item of classification information indicating a classification of the common notation rule to the common notation rule table 2310 of the common notation rule storage unit 230, and determining the display order of the dedicated rule candidates based on the classification. do. For example, "Position (working place) in a manufacturing line", "purpose of guidance notified by common notation rules (for example, quality control, risk avoidance, etc.)", "importance of guidance", "work From the classification conditions, such as "proficiency of", a common notation rule can be classified. If a plurality of classification items are set, the operator can also set the display order of the dedicated rule candidates. This makes it easy for the operator to find the dedicated rule candidate to be used from among many dedicated rule candidates.

On the other hand, when the guidance rule is newly registered using the dedicated rule candidate, the guidance management unit 114C registers the guidance rule based on the dedicated rule candidate with respect to the common notation management unit 216 of the common content processing unit 20. Information of the effect is notified (step S210). The common notation management unit 216 of the common content processing unit 20 that has been informed of the information is the number of registered lines 2317 of the common common notation rule of the common notation rule table 2310 of the common notation rule storage unit 230. ) And the information on the registration line 2318 is updated (step S212).

For example, in the C line processing unit 30B, it is assumed that a new guidance rule based on the dedicated rule candidate of guidance ID "1001" is registered. The guidance management unit 114C of the C line processing unit 30B outputs the line specification information specifying its own production line and the guidance ID of the dedicated common description rule to the common description management unit 216. The common notation management unit 216 displays the common notation rule table 2310 of the common notation rule storage unit 230 shown in FIG. 6 as shown in FIG. 13, and registers the number of registered lines 2317 of the guidance ID "1001". The number is increased by one and the information indicating that the data is converted to the line of the C line of the registration line 2318 is recorded again.

In this way, by storing and managing the information of the dedicated manufacturing line in the common notation rule storage unit 230, it is possible to prevent the re-display of the already-dedicated rule at the time of creation of the dedicated rule candidate. The display order of the dedicated rule candidates can also be determined from the number of registered lines.

In the above, the setting method of the guidance rule in the operation support system 1 which concerns on this embodiment was demonstrated. According to this operation support system 1, a common definition term is prescribed | regulated about the comparison target name (term for each manufacturing line) used by each manufacturing line, and the term of each manufacturing line which has the same meaning content is related. And when the guidance rule is registered in each manufacturing line, the common notation management part 216 of the management calculator 210 produces | generates the common notation rule represented by a common definition term based on the said guidance rule. On the other hand, in each manufacturing line, when creating a guidance rule by dedicating a common writing rule, the common writing management unit 216 creates a dedicated rule candidate in which the common writing rule is described in accordance with each manufacturing line. It is provided to the line processing part 30. As described above, according to the operation support system 1 according to the present embodiment, the term for each production line used for the description of the guidance rule of each manufacturing line is managed in association with the common definition term, and the guidance rule of each manufacturing line is managed. Manage in general notation. That is, the common content processing unit 20 collectively manages the guidance rules set in any production line. By doing in this way, the guidance rule between two or more similar manufacturing lines can be easily performed.
