Description

生産計画調整支援装置および生産計画調整支援方法Production plan adjustment support apparatus and production plan adjustment support method
 本発明は、生産計画調整支援装置および生産計画調整支援方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a production plan adjustment support device and a production plan adjustment support method.
 製品を生産する工場では、市場や顧客の要求納期に応えるために、該当製品を要求納期までに生産する生産計画を立案する。その際、工場の生産計画担当者が利用する生産計画調整システムでは、部品表、品目マスタ、工程間の輸送に関する情報、および、製造時に製造主体にかかる負荷の情報、といった該当工場に関するマスタ情報と、市場や顧客等からのオーダ情報と、部品サプライヤ等に発注済の発注残情報等のトランザクション情報、などに基づき、該当製品の生産に必要な部品や生産能力の引当処理を行い、製品の生産計画を立案、調整する。 In factories that produce products, in order to meet the required delivery date of the market and customers, a production plan for producing the product by the required delivery date is drawn up. At that time, in the production plan adjustment system used by the person in charge of production planning at the factory, the master information about the relevant factory such as the bill of materials, item master, information on transportation between processes, and information on the load on the manufacturing entity during manufacturing, Based on order information from the market, customers, etc., and transaction information such as back-order information already ordered from parts suppliers, etc., the production process of the parts and production capacity necessary for the production of the corresponding products is performed. Develop and adjust plans.
 こうした生産計画に関する業務において、従来では、市場のグローバル化等に由来して増加する需要に対し、生産能力が不足するという問題が存在した。生産能力が不足すると、市場や顧客からの要求納期に対して製品の生産が間に合わない事態が発生する。その場合、生産計画担当者は、工場での残業時間増加を踏まえた生産能力見直しや、あるいは注文主に対する納期延長の交渉などの対策を講じる必要が出てくる。 In such operations related to production planning, there has conventionally been a problem that production capacity is insufficient with respect to increasing demand resulting from globalization of the market. If the production capacity is insufficient, there will be a situation where production of products is not in time for the required delivery date from the market and customers. In that case, the person in charge of production planning needs to take measures such as reviewing the production capacity based on the increase in overtime hours in the factory, or negotiating extension of the delivery date to the orderer.
 そこで、このような生産計画調整に関する従来技術として、例えば、以下の技術が提案されている。すなわち、所定製品に関する生産計画および調整後生産計画の各情報を記憶装置より読み出し、同一工程における作業完了時期の乖離を、生産計画と調整後生産計画との間について算定し、当該算定結果を所定の端末ないし表示装置に出力し、乖離を解消するためのリソースの調整指示を所定の端末ないし入力装置から受け付け、当該調整指示に応じて調整したリソースの情報での生産計画を生成する処理を実行する生産計画調整支援装置(特許文献1参照)などが提案されている。 Therefore, for example, the following techniques have been proposed as conventional techniques related to such production plan adjustment. That is, each piece of information on the production plan and adjusted production plan for a given product is read from the storage device, the difference in work completion timing in the same process is calculated between the production plan and the adjusted production plan, and the calculation result is given Output to the terminal or display device, and receive a resource adjustment instruction for eliminating the divergence from a predetermined terminal or input device, and execute a process of generating a production plan with the resource information adjusted according to the adjustment instruction A production plan adjustment support device (see Patent Document 1) is proposed.

 上述したように、従来は増大する需要に対して生産能力が不足することが問題となっていたため、現状の生産リソースで製品の生産および納入が可能な最も早い日程、すなわち最早日程に応じた生産計画を迅速かつ正確に立案、調整できることが重要であった。 As mentioned above, there has been a problem of insufficient production capacity for increasing demand, so the earliest schedule for producing and delivering products with the current production resources, that is, production according to the earliest schedule. It was important to be able to plan and adjust the plan quickly and accurately.
 一方、近年では、市場の競争激化やサプライチェーンのグローバル化などにより、需要の変動が激しくなり、需要が生産能力を下回る事態も発生するようになってきた。このように需要が生産能力を下回る状況において、従来技術のごとく最早日程に応じた生産計画を立案し、これを実行すると、顧客の要求納期よりも大幅に前倒しされた時期に該当製品の生産が完了することとなる。このような事態は、生産された該当製品が、製品出荷日(基本的には要求納期が示す指定日)まで製品在庫として存在することにつながる。 On the other hand, in recent years, due to intensifying market competition and globalization of the supply chain, fluctuations in demand have become severe, and situations have arisen where demand falls below production capacity. In such a situation where the demand falls below the production capacity, the production plan according to the earliest schedule as in the conventional technology is drawn up and executed, so that the production of the corresponding product is carried out at a time far ahead of the customer's requested delivery date. It will be completed. Such a situation leads to the product produced being present as product inventory until the product shipment date (basically, the designated date indicated by the requested delivery date).
 つまり、製品生産に伴って棚卸資産が増加し、その管理コストも増大するなど、無駄なコストが発生する上に、製品生産用の各種リソースの投入から製品納入後の代金回収までの期間が長期化するためキャッシュフローは減少し、会社経営の根幹に関わる問題となる恐れもある。 In other words, inventories increase with the production of products, and management costs also increase.In addition, there is a wasteful cost, and the period from the input of various resources for product production to the collection of payment after product delivery is long. As a result, cash flow will decrease, which may become a problem related to the foundation of company management.
 そこで本発明の目的は、顧客や市場からの要求納期に可能な限り対応しつつ、該当製品の棚卸資産を効率的に削減する生産計画の立案、調整を可能とする技術を提供することにある。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a technique that enables planning and adjustment of a production plan that efficiently reduces the inventory of the corresponding product while responding as much as possible to the requested delivery date from the customer or the market. .

In addition, the production plan creation unit 130 indicates that the part level related to the child item of the item of the above-described part level “0” is “1”, the part level of the child item is “2”,. 117, that is, a part level value is assigned according to a hierarchy between items in BOM (Bill Of Material).
 また、MRP展開情報132における要求工完日1208は、上述の生産計画情報131(図11)における要求工完日1104の値と同一であり、部品レベル「0」のレコードすなわちMRP情報だけが保持している。 Further, the required work completion date 1208 in the MRP development information 132 is the same as the value of the required work completion date 1104 in the production plan information 131 (FIG. 11) described above, and only the record of the part level “0”, that is, the MRP information is retained. is doing.
 また、MRP展開情報132における最早工完日1206は、該当工程における該当品目の部品の最も早い工完日であり、他方、最適工完日1207は、棚卸資産を抑えるために該当生産計画の再調整を実施して得た工完日である。なお、図12のMRP展開情報132は、本実施形態の生産計画調整支援方法の実行後における状態を示している。少なくとも最適工完日1207の項目は、生産計画の調整処理実行前は空欄となっている。 Also, the earliest work completion date 1206 in the MRP development information 132 is the earliest work completion date of the part of the corresponding item in the corresponding process, while the optimum work completion date 1207 is a re-production of the corresponding production plan in order to reduce inventory. It is the work completion date obtained by adjusting. Note that the MRP development information 132 in FIG. 12 indicates a state after execution of the production plan adjustment support method of the present embodiment. At least the item of optimal work completion date 1207 is blank before the adjustment process of the production plan is executed.
 また、上述の負荷割付結果情報133は、図13にて示す通り、上述のMRP展開情報132における生産計画番号1201と共通する生産計画番号1301をキーとして、品目1302、工程1303、数量1304、最早割付日1305、および最適割付日1306の各項目の値を対応付けたレコードの集合体となっている。この負荷割付結果情報133は、上述のMRP展開情報132の各レコードすなわちMRP情報のうち、その工程1204について、工程能力情報114(図5)で生産能力が定義されたものに関して、生産計画作成部130が負荷割付を実行して生成したテーブルである。この負荷割付結果情報133において、最早割付日1305は、該当工程について最も早い負荷割付が可能な日であり、一方、最適割付日1306は、上述の生産計画の調整後の負荷割付日である。 Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the load allocation result information 133 described above includes the item 1302, the process 1303, the quantity 1304, and the earliest using the production plan number 1301 common to the production plan number 1201 in the MRP expansion information 132 described above as a key. This is a set of records in which the values of the items of the allocation date 1305 and the optimal allocation date 1306 are associated with each other. This load allocation result information 133 is a production plan creation unit for each record of the MRP expansion information 132 described above, that is, MRP information for which the production capability is defined in the process capability information 114 (FIG. 5). A table 130 is generated by executing load allocation. In this load allocation result information 133, the earliest allocation date 1305 is the date when the earliest load allocation is possible for the corresponding process, while the optimal allocation date 1306 is the load allocation date after the adjustment of the above production plan.
 主記憶装置30の生産計画作成部130では、計算過程において、その時点での各工程における日ごとの空き能力の情報を保持するものとする。なお、本実施形態では、この空き能力の情報をテーブル等で図示せず、図24~28、図30~33の展開例の中にて示すことでその代わりとする。 In the calculation process, the production plan creation unit 130 of the main storage device 30 holds information on the free capacity for each day in each process at that time.

Further, as an example, the production plan adjustment support apparatus 1 in the present embodiment adopts a system date as a reference date used for production plan adjustment processing, and sets the date to “4/1”. However, the setting form of the reference date is not limited to an example in which the system date is adopted, and a setting given as an input value from the outside may be set.
--- Example of processing procedure ---
 以下、本実施形態における生産計画調整支援方法の実際手順について図に基づき説明する。以下で説明する生産計画調整支援方法に対応する各種動作は、生産計画調整支援装置1が主記憶装置30に読み出して実行するプログラム100によって実現される。そして、このプログラム100は、以下に説明される各種の動作を行うためのコードから構成されている。 Hereinafter, the actual procedure of the production plan adjustment support method in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Various operations corresponding to the production plan adjustment support method described below are realized by a program 100 that the production plan adjustment support device 1 reads into the main storage device 30 and executes. And this program 100 is comprised from the code | cord | chord for performing the various operation | movement demonstrated below.
 図16は、本実施形態に係る生産計画調整支援方法のフロー例1を示す図である。この場合、生産計画調整支援装置1の生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1600において、オーダ情報121から生産計画情報131を作成する。本実施形態の生産計画作成部130は、図8に示すオーダ情報121におけるオーダ番号801が「Order1」のオーダに対して、図11に示す生産計画情報131における生産計画番号1101が「生産計画1」の生産計画を作成する。勿論、オーダ情報121における他のオーダに対する生産計画も同様の手順にて作成する。 FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a flow example 1 of the production plan adjustment support method according to the present embodiment. In this case, the production plan creation unit 130 of the production plan adjustment support device 1 creates production plan information 131 from the order information 121 in step 1600. The production plan creation unit 130 of the present embodiment sets the production plan number 1101 in the production plan information 131 shown in FIG. 11 to “production plan 1” for the order whose order number 801 in the order information 121 shown in FIG. Create a production plan. Of course, production plans for other orders in the order information 121 are created in the same procedure.
 具体的には、生産計画作成部130は、オーダ情報121における各レコードから、品目802、要求数量803、要求納期804、および優先度805の各値を抽出し、これを、生産計画情報131の品目1102、要求数量1103、要求工完日1104、および優先度1105の値として同値で設定し、生産計画情報131を作成する。 Specifically, the production plan creation unit 130 extracts each value of the item 802, the requested quantity 803, the requested delivery date 804, and the priority 805 from each record in the order information 121, and this is extracted from the production plan information 131. The production plan information 131 is created by setting the items 1102, the requested quantity 1103, the requested work completion date 1104, and the priority 1105 as the same values.
 次に、生産計画調整支援装置1は、ステップ1700において、上述の生産計画情報131における各生産計画(図11の例では、“生産計画1”~“生産計画3”)に対し、それぞれ必要な部品の数量を、部品表情報111の部品表117および生産計画情報131を使って求める。 Next, in step 1700, the production plan adjustment support apparatus 1 is necessary for each production plan (“production plan 1” to “production plan 3” in the example of FIG. 11) in the production plan information 131 described above. The quantity of parts is obtained using the parts table 117 and the production plan information 131 of the parts table information 111.
 具体的には、生産計画作成部130は、生産計画情報131にて定義されている品目1102について、その子部品と員数を部品表情報111の部品表117から特定し、品目1102を構成するために必要な子部品の数を算出する。また生産計画作成部130は、品目情報112において、その子部品の製造ないし調達に関して定義されている工程を特定する。こうして所定の品目について子部品の数と工程の情報を得た生産計画作成部130は、これら情報をMRP展開情報132における該当品目1202の数量1205および該当工程1204の各欄に登録する。生産計画作成部130は、この手順を生産計画情報131における各生産計画について、部品表情報111の部品表117で子部品が定義されていない品目(サプライヤからの購入品)となるまで繰り返す。 Specifically, the production plan creation unit 130 identifies the child parts and the number of items 1102 defined in the production plan information 131 from the parts table 117 of the parts table information 111 and configures the item 1102. Calculate the number of required child parts. In addition, the production plan creation unit 130 specifies a process defined in the item information 112 for manufacturing or procurement of the child parts. In this way, the production plan creation unit 130 that has obtained the information on the number of child parts and the process for a predetermined item registers the information in the columns 1205 and 1204 of the corresponding item 1202 in the MRP expansion information 132. The production plan creation unit 130 repeats this procedure for each production plan in the production plan information 131 until the child parts are not defined in the parts table 117 of the parts table information 111 (purchased from the supplier).
 上述した生産計画作成部130が、図11に示す生産計画情報131の「生産計画1」に対して必要部品数を算出し、MRP展開情報132に登録するまでのより具体的な手順を以下に示す。まず、生産計画作成部130は、生産計画情報131における「生産計画1」のレコードから、「生産計画1」において生産する品目が「製品A」であり、その必要数量が「10」、更には、要求工完日1104が「4/7」であるとの各値を読み取る。 また同様に、生産計画作成部130は、品目情報112において、品目が「製品A」であるレコードを特定し、該当レコードにおける工程302の値として「ショップ1」を読み取る。この場合、生産計画作成部130は、MRP展開情報132において、生産計画番号1201が「生産計画1」であるレコードを生成し、このレコードにおける品目1202に「製品A」、部品レベル1203に「0」、工程1204に「ショップ1」、数量1205に「10」と設定し、最早工完日1206と最適工完日1207は空白、要求工完日1208「4/7」と登録する。 A more specific procedure until the above-described production plan creation unit 130 calculates the required number of parts for “production plan 1” of the production plan information 131 shown in FIG. Show. First, the production plan creation unit 130 determines from the record of “production plan 1” in the production plan information 131 that the item to be produced in “production plan 1” is “product A”, its required quantity is “10”, Each value indicating that the requested construction completion date 1104 is “4/7” is read. Similarly, the production plan creation unit 130 identifies a record in which the item is “product A” in the item information 112 and reads “shop 1” as the value of the process 302 in the record. In this case, the production plan creation unit 130 generates a record in which the production plan number 1201 is “production plan 1” in the MRP expansion information 132, and “product A” is stored in the item 1202 and “0” is stored in the part level 1203. “Shop 1” is set in the process 1204, “10” is set in the quantity 1205, the earliest work completion date 1206 and the optimum work completion date 1207 are blank, and the requested work completion date 1208 “4/7” is registered.
 なお、部品レベル1203に「0」を設定したことは、既に述べた部品レベルの概念“生産計画情報131に定義されている生産計画の品目の部品レベルを「0」とする”に基づいている。 The setting of “0” for the part level 1203 is based on the part level concept “set the part level of the item of the production plan defined in the production plan information 131 to“ 0 ””. .
 次に生産計画作成部130は、部品表情報111より「製品A」を親品目とする部品表117を検索し、その部品表117において子品目202が「半製品B」、その員数203(親品目1つに対する子品目の必要数量)が「1」との値を読み取る。ゆえに、「製品A」を「10」製造するためには「半製品B」が「10」必要であり、その「半製品B」の製造、調達に要する工程は品目情報112より「ショップ2」である、と求められる。 Next, the production plan creation unit 130 searches the BOM 117 having “Product A” as a parent item from the BOM information 111, and the child item 202 is “Semi-product B” in the BOM 117, and its number 203 (parent The value of “1” is read for the necessary quantity of child items for one item. Therefore, in order to manufacture “10” of “product A”, “10” is required for “semi-finished product B”, and the process required to manufacture and procure “semi-finished product B” is “shop 2” from item information 112. Is required.
 従って生産計画作成部130は、MRP展開情報132において、生産計画番号1201が「生産計画1」で品目1202が「半製品B」であるレコードを生成し、このレコードにおいて、部品レベル1203に「1」、工程1204に「ショップ2」、数量1205に「10」の各値を設定し、最早工完日1206と最適工完日1207と要求工完日1208の各項目は空白とする。 Accordingly, the production plan creation unit 130 generates a record in which the production plan number 1201 is “production plan 1” and the item 1202 is “semi-finished product B” in the MRP expansion information 132. In this record, “1 ”,“ Shop 2 ”is set in the process 1204,“ 10 ”is set in the quantity 1205, and the items of the earliest work completion date 1206, the optimum work completion date 1207, and the requested work completion date 1208 are left blank.
 更に、生産計画作成部130は、上述と同様の手順で生産計画番号1201が「生産計画1」、品目1202が「部品C」のレコードを生成し、このレコードにおいて、部品レベル1203に「2」、工程1204に「部品倉庫」、数量1205に「10」の各値を設定し、最早工完日1206と最適工完日1207と要求工完日1208の各項目は空白とする。 Further, the production plan creation unit 130 generates a record in which the production plan number 1201 is “production plan 1” and the item 1202 is “part C” in the same procedure as described above. In this record, the part level 1203 has “2”. Each value of “parts warehouse” is set in the process 1204 and “10” is set in the quantity 1205, and the items of the earliest work completion date 1206, the optimum work completion date 1207, and the requested work completion date 1208 are left blank.
 部品表情報111の部品表117において、「部品C」は末端部品である(部品Cを親部品とする品目がない)ことから、生産計画作成部130による本ステップ1700における、「生産計画1」に関するMRP展開情報132への登録処理は以上で完了となる。生産計画作成部130は、こうした「生産計画1」と同様の手順で、生産計画情報131における残りに生産計画についてもMRP展開情報132への情報の登録を実行することとなる。 In the parts table 117 of the parts table information 111, “part C” is a terminal part (there is no item having the part C as a parent part), so “production plan 1” in this step 1700 by the production plan creation unit 130. This completes the registration process for the MRP expansion information 132 related to the above. The production plan creation unit 130 registers information in the MRP expansion information 132 for the remaining production plans in the production plan information 131 in the same procedure as the “production plan 1”.
 ここで図16のフローの説明に戻る。続いて生産計画調整支援装置1は、ステップ1800において、各オーダの最早納期日を算定する。この算定処理の詳細な手順は図17のフローチャートにて示す。 Returning to the description of the flow in FIG. Subsequently, in step 1800, the production plan adjustment support device 1 calculates the earliest delivery date for each order. The detailed procedure of this calculation process is shown in the flowchart of FIG.
 まず、生産計画調整支援装置1の生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1810において、生産計画情報131中で未処理の生産計画のうち、最も優先度が高い、つまり優先度1105の絶対値が小さい生産計画を選択する。この選択は、優先度が高い、つまり重要な生産計画から順に、部品および生産能力などのリソースを割り当てるためである。このステップ1810の処理は、具体的には、例えば図12で例示するMRP展開情報132において部品レベル「0」のMRP情報の最早工完日1206が空白である生産計画を、未処理の生産計画として特定し、ここで特定した生産計画が複数存在する場合、その優先度を生産計画情報131より読み出し、優先度1105の値が最小、すなわち優先度が最も高いものを選択する。なお、当該フローを最初に実行した際には、MRP展開情報132における全ての生産計画について未処理となっている。よって、図12で例示するMRP展開情報132についてのステップ1810の初回実行時であれば、部品レベル「0」のMRP情報の最早工完日1206が空白である生産計画のうち、優先度が高いものとして「生産計画1」が選択されることになる。 First, in step 1810, the production plan creation unit 130 of the production plan adjustment support apparatus 1 has the highest priority among the unprocessed production plans in the production plan information 131, that is, the production with the smallest absolute value of the priority 1105. Select a plan. This selection is for assigning resources such as parts and production capacity in order from the highest priority, that is, the important production plan. Specifically, for example, in the processing of step 1810, a production plan in which the earliest completion date 1206 of the MRP information at the part level “0” in the MRP expansion information 132 illustrated in FIG. When there are a plurality of production plans specified here, the priority is read from the production plan information 131, and the one with the lowest priority 1105, that is, the highest priority is selected. When the flow is first executed, all production plans in the MRP expansion information 132 are not processed. Therefore, at the time of the first execution of step 1810 for the MRP development information 132 illustrated in FIG. 12, the priority is high in the production plan in which the earliest work completion date 1206 of the MRP information at the part level “0” is blank. "Production plan 1" will be selected as a thing.
 次に、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1820にて、上述のステップ1810で選択した生産計画において部品レベル1203が大きい品目から順に、該当工程での最早工完日を算出する。この最早工完日の算出処理に関する詳細な手順は、図18に示すフローチャートを用いて説明する。 Next, in step 1820, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the earliest work completion date in the corresponding process in order from the item having the higher part level 1203 in the production plan selected in step 1810 described above. The detailed procedure regarding the calculation process of the earliest work completion date will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
 この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1821において、上述のステップ1810で選択した生産計画における未処理品目のうち、部品レベルが最大の工程を選択する。つまり未処理品目のうち最も末端部品に近い品目が定義された工程を選択し、処理対象とする。上述の未処理品目として、生産計画作成部130は、MRP展開情報132における最早工完日1206が空白の品目を特定するものとする。また当然ながら、当該ステップ1821の初回実行時において、MRP展開情報132の各レコードにおいて最早工完日1206は空欄となっている。よって上述の例では、「生産計画1」の未処理品目として、「製品A」、「半製品B」、および「部品C」のうち、部品レベルが「2」で最大の「部品C」の調達に要する「部品倉庫」の工程を処理対象として選択することになる。 In this case, in step 1821, the production plan creation unit 130 selects a process having the maximum part level among the unprocessed items in the production plan selected in step 1810 described above. That is, the process in which the item closest to the terminal part is defined among the unprocessed items is selected and set as the processing target. As the above-mentioned unprocessed item, the production plan creation unit 130 specifies an item in which the earliest work completion date 1206 in the MRP expansion information 132 is blank. Further, as a matter of course, the earliest work completion date 1206 is blank in each record of the MRP development information 132 when the step 1821 is executed for the first time. Therefore, in the above-mentioned example, among the “Product A”, “Semi-finished product B”, and “Part C” as the unprocessed items of “Production plan 1”, the maximum “Part C” with the part level “2” The process of “parts warehouse” required for procurement is selected as a processing target.
 続いて生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1822において、上述のステップ1821で選択した工程について、該当工程で製造、調達する未処理品目の部品の最早充足日を算出する。この最早充足日の算出処理の詳細については、図19に示すフローチャートを用いて説明する。 Subsequently, in step 1822, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the earliest fulfillment date of the unprocessed item parts to be manufactured and procured in the corresponding process for the process selected in step 1821 described above. The details of the earliest satisfaction date calculation process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
 この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1891において、上述の未処理品目の部品に関して在庫情報123(図10)にて検索を実行して、その在庫数量1003の値を取得し、在庫引当可能か判定する。勿論、上述の検索により該当レコードの登録自体が無い場合、該当部品の在庫数量はゼロである。この判定の結果、該当部品に関して在庫引当可能である場合(1891:Y)、生産計画作成部130は処理をステップ1892に進める。他方、上述の判定の結果、該当部品に関して在庫量が不足していて引当不可能である場合(1891:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1893へ進める。 In this case, in step 1891, the production plan creation unit 130 executes a search in the inventory information 123 (FIG. 10) for the above-described unprocessed item parts, acquires the value of the inventory quantity 1003, and can reserve the inventory. To determine. Of course, when there is no registration of the corresponding record by the above search, the inventory quantity of the corresponding part is zero. If the result of this determination is that inventory can be allocated for that part (1891: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to step 1892. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the inventory amount is insufficient for the relevant part and allocation is impossible (1891: N), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to Step 1893.
 ステップ1892において、生産計画作成部130は、該当部品の最早充足日として基準日を採用し、最早充足日の算出処理を終了する。なお、ここでの基準日は上述したように「4/1」である。在庫部品を部品倉庫での保管場所から取り出す作業は基準日中に可能である故である。 In step 1892, the production plan creation unit 130 adopts the reference date as the earliest satisfaction date of the corresponding part, and ends the earliest satisfaction date calculation process. The reference date here is “4/1” as described above. This is because it is possible to take out the stock parts from the storage location in the parts warehouse during the base day.
 また、ステップ1893において、生産計画作成部130は、上述の該当品目に関して発注残情報122(図9)にて検索を実行して、その発注数量903の値を取得し、サプライヤに発注済みであるが未受領の数量、すなわち発注残の引当が可能か判定する。この判定の結果、発注残の引当可能である場合(1893:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1894に進める。他方、上述の判定の結果、発注残が足りず引当不可能である場合(1893:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1895に進める。 In step 1893, the production plan creation unit 130 executes a search with the remaining order information 122 (FIG. 9) for the above-mentioned corresponding item, obtains the value of the order quantity 903, and has already been ordered from the supplier. Determines whether it is possible to reserve the unreceived quantity, that is, the remaining order. As a result of this determination, if the remaining order can be allocated (1893: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to step 1894. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if there is not enough remaining ordering and cannot be allocated (1893: N), the production plan creating unit 130 advances the process to Step 1895.
 ステップ1894において、生産計画作成部130は、最早充足日として、引き当てる発注残の入庫予定日904を採用し、最早充足日の算出処理を終了する。他方、ステップ1895において、生産計画作成部130は、該当部品の部品レベルが、ステップ1810で選択した生産計画の各品目中で最大か、つまりBOMにおいて末端部品か否か、MRP展開情報132における該当生産計画の各レコードの部品レベルに基づいて判定する。この判定の結果、該当部品の部品レベルが最大である場合(1895:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1896に進める。他方、上述の判定の結果、該当部品の部品レベルが最大でなかった場合(1895:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1897に進める。 In step 1894, the production plan creation unit 130 adopts the scheduled remaining warehousing date 904 as the earliest fulfillment date, and ends the earliest fulfillment date calculation process. On the other hand, in step 1895, the production plan creation unit 130 determines whether the part level of the corresponding part is the maximum among the items of the production plan selected in step 1810, that is, whether it is a terminal part in the BOM. Judgment is made based on the part level of each record of the production plan. As a result of this determination, if the part level of the relevant part is the maximum (1895: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to step 1896. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the part level of the relevant part is not the maximum (1895: N), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to Step 1897.
 ステップ1896において、生産計画作成部130は、上述した部品レベルが最大、つまり末端部品をサプライヤから購入する場合の最早充足日を算出する。具体的には、生産計画作成部130は、上述の基準日に対し、購買に必要な日数(購買LT)を足しこんだ日付を最早充足日と算定する。なお、購買LTの定義方法は品目ごと、サプライヤごと、あるいは全て共通で与えるなど方法は様々であり、本実施形態でもその手段は特定しない。 In step 1896, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the earliest satisfaction date when the above-described part level is the maximum, that is, when the end part is purchased from the supplier. Specifically, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the date when the number of days required for purchase (purchasing LT) is added to the reference date described above as the earliest satisfaction date. Note that there are various methods for defining the purchase LT for each item, for each supplier, or for giving all in common, and this means is not specified in this embodiment.
 一方、ステップ1897において、生産計画作成部130は、該当部品を他の工程で製造する場合の最早充足日を算出する。具体的には、生産計画作成部130は、該当部品を製造する工程すなわち供給元工程をMRP展開情報132にて検索して、該当工程における最早工完日(部品レベルが大きい品目、工程から処理するため、必ず算出済であり、その結果がMRP展開情報132に登録されている)を特定し、更に、該当工程すなわち供給元工程とステップ1821で選択している工程すなわち使用先工程との間について規定されている供給LTを工程間情報113で特定し、上述の最早工完日に対して供給LTを足し込んだ日付を最早充足日と算定する。 On the other hand, in step 1897, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the earliest satisfaction date when the corresponding part is manufactured in another process. Specifically, the production plan creation unit 130 searches the MRP expansion information 132 for a process for manufacturing the corresponding part, that is, a supplier process, and completes the earliest work completion date in the corresponding process (from the item or process having a high part level) Therefore, it has been calculated and the result is registered in the MRP development information 132), and further, between the corresponding process, that is, the supply source process and the process selected in step 1821, that is, the use destination process. The supply LT specified for is specified by the inter-process information 113, and the date when the supply LT is added to the above-mentioned earliest work completion date is calculated as the earliest fulfillment date.
 なお、上述の例における「生産計画1」の「部品C」に関しては在庫情報123より在庫引当が可能となるため、最早充足日は基準日「4/1」となる。 It should be noted that because “part C” of “production plan 1” in the above example can be allocated from the inventory information 123, the earliest fulfillment date is the reference date “4/1”.
 ここで図18のフローの説明に戻る。次に、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1823において、上述のステップ1821で選択した該当工程に関し、工程能力情報114(図5)を参照して、生産能力が定義されているか判定する。この判定の結果、生産能力が定義されている場合(1823:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1824に進める。他方、上述の判定の結果、生産能力が定義されていない場合(1823:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1827に進める。例えば、該当工程が「部品倉庫」である場合、図5に示す工程能力情報114において、この「部品倉庫」に関するレコードが存在しない、つまり「部品倉庫」には生産能力は定義されていないことがわかる。よってこの場合は処理はステップ1827へ進むことになる。 Here, it returns to the description of the flow of FIG. Next, in step 1823, the production plan creation unit 130 refers to the process capability information 114 (FIG. 5) and determines whether the production capability is defined for the corresponding process selected in step 1821 described above. As a result of the determination, if the production capacity is defined (1823: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to Step 1824. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the production capacity is not defined (1823: N), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to Step 1827. For example, if the corresponding process is “parts warehouse”, there is no record regarding “parts warehouse” in the process capability information 114 shown in FIG. 5, that is, no production capacity is defined in “parts warehouse”. Recognize. Therefore, in this case, the process proceeds to step 1827.
 続いてステップ1827において、生産計画作成部130は、最早工完日として、上述のステップ1822、すなわち図19のフローにて算出した最早充足日を採用し、その結果をMRP展開情報132における最早工完日1206の項目に登録する。よって本実施形態のMRP展開情報132に対し、例えば「生産計画1」の「部品C」の「部品倉庫」における最早工完日1206を「4/1」として登録することとなる。なお、ここでの「生産計画1」の「部品C」に関する最早工完日等の計算結果52は、詳細は後述する図24にも示している。 Subsequently, in Step 1827, the production plan creation unit 130 adopts the earliest fulfillment date calculated in Step 1822 described above, that is, the flow of FIG. 19 as the earliest work completion date, and the result is the earliest work in the MRP development information 132. Register in the item of complete date 1206. Therefore, for example, the earliest work completion date 1206 in “part warehouse” of “part C” of “production plan 1” is registered as “4/1” in the MRP development information 132 of the present embodiment. The calculation result 52 such as the earliest work completion date for “part C” of “production plan 1” here is also shown in detail in FIG.
 次に生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1828において、上述のステップ1821での選択工程における品目の部品レベルが「0」、すなわち製品かそれ以外の半製品や部品であるか判定する。この判定の結果、該当品目の部品レベルが「0」であった場合(1828:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、本フローの処理を終了する。他方、上述の判定の結果、該当品目の部品レベルが「0」でなかった場合(1828:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1821に戻す。本実施形態におけるここまでのフローにて選択している工程である「生産計画1」の「部品C」の部品レベルは「2」であるから、このステップ1828での判定結果は「NO」であり、処理はステップ1821に戻ることとなる。 Next, in step 1828, the production plan creation unit 130 determines whether the part level of the item in the selection process in step 1821 described above is “0”, that is, a product or other semi-finished product or part. As a result of the determination, when the part level of the corresponding item is “0” (1828: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 ends the process of this flow. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the part level of the corresponding item is not “0” (1828: N), the production plan creation unit 130 returns the process to step 1821. Since the part level of “part C” of “production plan 1”, which is the process selected in the flow so far in the present embodiment, is “2”, the determination result in this step 1828 is “NO”. Yes, the process returns to step 1821.
 以下、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1828で判定が「Y」になるまでステップ1821からステップ1828を繰り返す。本実施形態では、引き続き「生産計画1」の例で説明する。なお、重複する説明は省略し、結果だけを記述する。 Hereinafter, the production plan creation unit 130 repeats Step 1821 to Step 1828 until the determination becomes “Y” in Step 1828. In the present embodiment, an example of “production plan 1” will be described. Note that duplicate descriptions are omitted, and only the results are described.
 ここまでのフローの説明における再度のステップ1821にて、生産計画作成部130は、MRP展開情報132の「生産計画1」に関するレコードのうち、上述したとおり部品レベルが「2」の「部品C」以外のレコードを参照し、そのうちで部品レベルが「1」で最大の品目「半製品B」、その工程「ショップ2」を選択する。 In step 1821 in the description of the flow so far, the production plan creation unit 130 among the records related to “production plan 1” of the MRP expansion information 132, “part C” whose part level is “2” as described above. A record other than is referred to, and the item “semi-finished product B” having the component level “1” and the process “shop 2” is selected.
 次なるステップ1822において生産計画作成部130は、上述の「半製品B」の最早充足日を図19のフローに従って上述同様に算出する。この「半製品B」は、在庫情報123(図10)によると在庫無し、また発注残情報122(図9)によるとサプライヤからの入庫予定も無い品目であり、その部品レベルは最大でない。従って生産計画作成部130は、「半製品B」の最早充足日を、在庫も発注残もなく、また部品レベルも最大ではないと認識し(図19のフローにおいて、ステップ1891:N→1893:N→1895:N)、当該「半製品B」を構成するための「部品C」の最早工完日「4/1」に、「部品C」の工程から「半製品B」の工程までの供給LTを加算し、「半製品B」のための「部品C」の最早充足日を算出する。 In the next step 1822, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the earliest fulfillment date of the above-mentioned “semi-finished product B” according to the flow of FIG. The “semi-finished product B” is an item that is out of stock according to the inventory information 123 (FIG. 10) and that is not scheduled to be received from the supplier according to the remaining order information 122 (FIG. 9). Accordingly, the production plan creation unit 130 recognizes that the earliest fulfillment date of “semi-finished product B” is that there is no inventory, no remaining orders, and the part level is not the maximum (in the flow of FIG. 19, Step 1891: N → 1893: N → 1895: N), from the process of “part C” to the process of “semi-finished product B” on “4/1”, the earliest completion date of “part C” for composing the “semi-finished product B” The supply LT is added, and the earliest satisfaction date of “part C” for “semi-finished product B” is calculated.
 上述の例の場合であれば、生産計画作成部130は、「部品C」の出庫元である供給元工程「部品倉庫」から入庫先である使用先工程「ショップ2」への供給LTを、工程間情報113(図4)より「1」日と特定し、この1日を、「半製品B」を構成するための「部品C」の最早工完日「4/1」に加算し、「4/1」+「1日」=「4/2」を算出することとなる。 In the case of the above-described example, the production plan creation unit 130 supplies the supply LT from the supply source process “parts warehouse” that is the delivery source of “part C” to the use destination process “shop 2” that is the receipt destination. From the inter-process information 113 (FIG. 4), specify “1” day, and add this one day to the earliest work completion date “4/1” of “part C” for configuring “semi-finished product B”. “4/1” + “1 day” = “4/2” is calculated.
 続いてステップ1823において、生産計画作成部130は、上述の「半製品B」の工程「ショップ2」が生産能力を有するか、工程能力情報114(図5)を参照して判定する。この判定の結果、該当工程について工程能力情報114にて生産能力が定義されていた場合(ステップ1823:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、部品生産を該当工程に設定すべき負荷割付処理対象であると認識し、処理をステップ1824に進める。他方、上述の判定の結果、該当工程について工程能力情報114にて生産能力が定義されていない場合(ステップ1823:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1827に進める。図5の例であれば、「ショップ2」なる工程に対して生産能力が「6」と定義されている。よって生産計画作成部130は、この「ショップ2」なる工程は生産能力を有していると判定することとなる。 Subsequently, in Step 1823, the production plan creation unit 130 determines whether or not the above-described “semi-finished product B” process “shop 2” has a production capacity with reference to the process capability information 114 (FIG. 5). As a result of this determination, if the production capability is defined in the process capability information 114 for the corresponding process (step 1823: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 is a load allocation process target that should set the part production to the corresponding process. It is recognized that there is, and the process proceeds to Step 1824. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the production capability is not defined in the process capability information 114 for the corresponding process (step 1823: N), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to step 1827. In the example of FIG. 5, the production capacity is defined as “6” for the process “shop 2”. Therefore, the production plan creation unit 130 determines that the process “shop 2” has a production capacity.
 次に生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1824において、山積み対象となる総負荷量を、「(品目の)単位負荷量×生産数量」で算出する。なお、生産計画における負荷とは、生産にかかる作業量を意味している。また、山積みは、各品目を製造するために必要な工程に作業量を割り振ることを意味している。本実施形態では、図6に示す品目負荷情報115より、「ショップ2」における「半製品B」の単位負荷量は「0.5」であり、MRP展開情報132より「半製品B」の生産数量は「10」と特定できることから、「半製品B」を「10」生産する際の総負荷量は0.5×10=5と算出されることとなる。 Next, in step 1824, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the total load amount to be piled up by “unit load amount (of item) × production quantity”. In addition, the load in a production plan means the work amount concerning production. In addition, stacking means allocating work amounts to processes necessary for manufacturing each item. In the present embodiment, from the item load information 115 shown in FIG. 6, the unit load amount of “semi-finished product B” in “shop 2” is “0.5”, and the production of “semi-finished product B” from MRP development information 132 is shown. Since the quantity can be specified as “10”, the total load amount when “10” is produced for “semi-finished product B” is calculated as 0.5 × 10 = 5.
 続いて生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1825において、負荷の最早割付日として、最早充足日以降で、上述の総負荷量以上の空き能力を有する最早の日を探索する。すでに述べたように、各工程の各日の空き能力については主記憶装置30にて管理している。本実施形態における各工程の空き能力の値については、図24~28、30~33で簡易的に示した。こうした本実施形態の場合、上述のステップ1822にて「部品C」について算出した最早充足日「4/2」以降で、ステップ1824にて算出した負荷量「5」を割付できる最早の日を探索すると、生産能力「6」を有する「4/2」に割付可能であることが判明する。よって生産計画作成部130は、「部品C」を用いて「半製品B」を生産する場合の最早割付日を「4/2」と特定することになる。 Subsequently, in Step 1825, the production plan creation unit 130 searches for the earliest day having the free capacity equal to or greater than the total load amount after the earliest fulfillment date as the earliest allocation date of the load. As already described, the free capacity of each day of each process is managed in the main storage device 30. The vacancy values of the respective steps in this embodiment are simply shown in FIGS. 24 to 28 and 30 to 33. In this embodiment, the earliest date on which the load amount “5” calculated in step 1824 can be allocated after the earliest satisfaction date “4/2” calculated for “part C” in step 1822 described above is searched. Then, it is found that the allocation can be made to “4/2” having the production capacity “6”. Therefore, the production plan creation unit 130 specifies “4/2” as the earliest allocation date when “semi-finished product B” is produced using “part C”.
 生産計画作成部130は、ここまでで得た各値を、負荷割付結果情報133(図13)における、生産計画番号1301が「生産計画1」、品目1302が「半製品B」、工程1303が「ショップ2」、数量1304が「10」、最早割付日1305が「4/2」として登録する。また、この結果を踏まえて「ショップ2」における「4/2」の空き能力を「5」減らして「1」とする。こうした「ショップ2」における空き能力の変遷は図24~図25に示す。 The production plan creation unit 130 uses the values obtained so far in the load allocation result information 133 (FIG. 13) as the production plan number 1301 is “production plan 1”, the item 1302 is “half-finished product B”, and the process 1303 is “Shop 2”, quantity 1304 is registered as “10”, and earliest allocation date 1305 is registered as “4/2”. Based on this result, the free capacity of “4/2” in “Shop 2” is reduced by “5” to “1”. The transition of free capacity in “Shop 2” is shown in FIGS.
 次に生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1826において、最早工完日を、上述のステップ1825で得た最早割付日に「製造LT-1」の日数を加算して算出する。製造LTから1日を引くのは、製造開始日を1日と数え上げるためである。つまり、製造LT=1日の場合は、製造開始日=製造終了日となる。 Next, in step 1826, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the earliest work completion date by adding the number of days of “manufacturing LT-1” to the earliest allocation date obtained in step 1825 described above. The reason for subtracting one day from the production LT is to count the production start date as one day. That is, in the case of manufacturing LT = 1 day, the manufacturing start date = the manufacturing end date.
 本実施形態の場合、図3に示す品目情報112において「半製品B」の製造LTは「1」日である。よって、最早工完日は、早割付日「4/2」+製造LT「1」日-1日=「4/2」と算定できる。生産計画作成部130は、この算定結果を、MRP展開情報132における「生産計画1」、「半製品B」のレコードの、最早工完日1207の項目に登録する。なお、ここでの「生産計画1」の「半製品B」に関する最早工完日等の計算結果53は、詳細は後述する図25にも示している。 In the case of the present embodiment, the production LT of “semi-finished product B” in the item information 112 shown in FIG. 3 is “1” day. Therefore, the earliest work completion date can be calculated as early allocation date “4/2” + manufacturing LT “1” date−1 day = “4/2”. The production plan creation unit 130 registers the calculation result in the item of the earliest work completion date 1207 in the records of “production plan 1” and “semi-finished product B” in the MRP development information 132. The calculation result 53 such as the earliest work completion date for “semi-finished product B” of “production plan 1” is also shown in detail in FIG.
 続くステップ1828において、生産計画作成部130は、今回のステップ1821で選択した工程「ショップ2」の「半製品B」の部品レベルは「1」であるため、「0」でないと判定し(1828:N)、処理をステップ1821に戻す。 In subsequent step 1828, the production plan creation unit 130 determines that the part level of “semi-finished product B” in the process “shop 2” selected in step 1821 this time is “1” and is not “0” (1828). : N), the process returns to step 1821.
 上述した本実施形態での3回目となるステップ1821において、生産計画作成部130は、MRP展開情報132の「生産計画1」に関するレコードのうち、上述したとおり部品レベルが「2」の「部品C」、および部品レベルが「1」の「半製品B」以外のレコードを参照し、残り1つのレコード、すなわち部品レベルが「0」で最大の品目「製品A」、その工程「ショップ1」を選択する。 In step 1821 which is the third time in the present embodiment described above, the production plan creation unit 130 among the records related to “production plan 1” of the MRP expansion information 132, as described above, “part C” whose part level is “2”. ”And a record other than“ semi-finished product B ”whose part level is“ 1 ”, and the remaining item, that is, the item“ product A ”whose part level is“ 0 ”and the largest process“ shop 1 ”is selected. select.
 次なるステップ1822において生産計画作成部130は、上述の「製品A」の最早充足日を図19のフローに従って上述同様に算出する。この「製品A」は、在庫情報123(図10)によると在庫無し、また最終製品であるから当然ながら、発注残情報122(図9)によるとサプライヤからの入庫予定も無い品目であり、その部品レベルは最大である。従って生産計画作成部130は、「製品A」の最早充足日を、在庫も発注残もなく、また部品レベルが最大でないと認識し(図19のフローにおいて、ステップ1891:N→1893:N→1895:N)、当該「製品A」を構成するための「半製品B」の最早工完日「4/2」に、「半製品B」の工程から「製品A」の工程までの供給LTを加算し、「製品A」のための「半製品B」の最早充足日を算出する。 In the next step 1822, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the earliest fulfillment date of the above-mentioned “product A” in the same manner as described above according to the flow of FIG. According to the inventory information 123 (FIG. 10), this “product A” is out of stock, and since it is a final product, of course, according to the remaining order information 122 (FIG. 9), there is no planned entry from the supplier. The component level is maximum. Therefore, the production plan creation unit 130 recognizes that the earliest fulfillment date of “product A” is neither in stock nor in order, and that the part level is not the maximum (step 1891: N → 1893: N → in the flow of FIG. 19). 1895: N), the supply LT from the process of “semi-finished product B” to the process of “product A” on the “4/2” earliest completion date of “semi-finished product B” for constituting the “product A” And the earliest fulfillment date of “semi-finished product B” for “product A” is calculated.
 上述の例の場合であれば、生産計画作成部130は、「半製品B」の出庫元である供給元工程「ショップ2」から入庫先である使用先工程「ショップ1」への供給LTを、工程間情報113(図4)より「1」日と特定し、この1日を、「製品A」を構成するための「半製品B」の最早工完日「4/2」に加算し、「4/2」+「1日」=「4/3」を算出することとなる。 In the case of the above example, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the supply LT from the supply source process “shop 2”, which is the delivery source of “semi-finished product B”, to the use destination process “shop 1”, which is the receipt destination. The inter-process information 113 (FIG. 4) specifies “1” day, and this one day is added to the earliest work completion date “4/2” of “semi-finished product B” for constituting “product A”. , “4/2” + “1 day” = “4/3” is calculated.
 続いてステップ1823において、生産計画作成部130は、上述の「製品A」の工程「ショップ1」が生産能力を有するか、工程能力情報114(図5)を参照して判定する。図5の例であれば、「ショップ1」なる工程に対して生産能力が「10」と定義されている。よって生産計画作成部130は、この「ショップ1」なる工程は生産能力を有していると判定し、処理をステップ1824に進める。 Subsequently, in step 1823, the production plan creation unit 130 determines whether or not the process “shop 1” of the above “product A” has a production capacity with reference to the process capability information 114 (FIG. 5). In the example of FIG. 5, the production capacity is defined as “10” for the process “shop 1”. Therefore, the production plan creation unit 130 determines that the process “shop 1” has a production capacity, and advances the process to step 1824.
 次に生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1824において、山積み対象となる総負荷量を、「(品目の)単位負荷量×生産数量」で算出する。本実施形態では、図6に示す品目負荷情報115より、「ショップ1」における「製品A」の単位負荷量は「1」であり、MRP展開情報132より「製品A」の生産数量は「10」と特定できることから、「製品A」を「10」生産する際の総負荷量は1×10=10と算出されることとなる。 Next, in step 1824, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the total load amount to be piled up by “unit load amount (of item) × production quantity”. In the present embodiment, from the item load information 115 shown in FIG. 6, the unit load amount of “Product A” in “Shop 1” is “1”, and the production quantity of “Product A” is “10” from the MRP development information 132. Therefore, the total load amount when “10” is produced for “Product A” is calculated as 1 × 10 = 10.
 続いて生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1825において、負荷の最早割付日として、最早充足日以降で、上述の総負荷量以上の空き能力を有する最早の日を探索する。本実施形態の場合、上述のステップ1822にて「半製品B」について算出した最早充足日「4/3」以降で、ステップ1824にて算出した負荷量「10」を割付できる最早の日を探索すると、生産能力「10」を有する「4/3」に割付可能であることが判明する。よって生産計画作成部130は、「半製品B」を用いて「製品A」を生産する場合の最早割付日を「4/3」と特定することになる。 Subsequently, in Step 1825, the production plan creation unit 130 searches for the earliest day having the free capacity equal to or greater than the total load amount after the earliest fulfillment date as the earliest allocation date of the load. In the case of the present embodiment, the earliest date on which the load amount “10” calculated in step 1824 can be allocated after the earliest satisfaction date “4/3” calculated for “semi-finished product B” in step 1822 described above is searched. Then, it becomes clear that it can be assigned to “4/3” having the production capacity “10”. Therefore, the production plan creation unit 130 specifies “4/3” as the earliest allocation date when “product A” is produced using “semi-finished product B”.
 生産計画作成部130は、ここまでで得た各値を、負荷割付結果情報133(図13)における、生産計画番号1301が「生産計画1」、品目1302が「製品A」、工程1303が「ショップ1」、数量1304が「10」、最早割付日1305が「4/3」として登録する。また、この結果を踏まえて「ショップ1」における「4/3」の空き能力を「10」減らして「0」とする。こうした「ショップ1」における空き能力の変遷は図25~図26に示す。 The production plan creation unit 130 uses the values obtained so far in the load allocation result information 133 (FIG. 13) as “production plan 1” for the production plan number 130, “product A” for the item 1302, and “product A” for the process 1303. “Shop 1”, quantity 1304 is registered as “10”, and earliest allocation date 1305 is registered as “4/3”. Based on this result, the free capacity of “4/3” in “Shop 1” is reduced by “10” to “0”. The transition of the free capacity in “Shop 1” is shown in FIGS.
 次に生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1826において、最早工完日を、上述のステップ1825で得た最早割付日に「製造LT-1」の日数を加算して算出する。本実施形態の場合、図3に示す品目情報112において「製品A」の製造LTは「1」日である。よって、最早工完日は、早割付日「4/3」+製造LT「1」日-1日=「4/3」と算定できる。生産計画作成部130は、この算定結果を、MRP展開情報132における「生産計画1」、「製品A」のレコードの、最早工完日1207の項目に登録する。なお、ここでの「生産計画1」の「製品A」に関する最早工完日等の計算結果51は、詳細は後述する図26にも示している。以上で、図17のフローチャートにおけるステップ1820の処理が終了する。 Next, in step 1826, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the earliest work completion date by adding the number of days of “manufacturing LT-1” to the earliest allocation date obtained in step 1825 described above. In the present embodiment, the production LT of “Product A” in the item information 112 shown in FIG. 3 is “1” day. Therefore, the earliest work completion date can be calculated as early allocation date “4/3” + manufacturing LT “1” date−1 day = “4/3”. The production plan creation unit 130 registers this calculation result in the item of the earliest work completion date 1207 in the records of “production plan 1” and “product A” in the MRP development information 132. The calculation result 51 such as the earliest work completion date for “Product A” in “Production Plan 1” here is also shown in detail in FIG. Thus, the process of step 1820 in the flowchart of FIG. 17 ends.
 ここで図17のフローにおけるステップ1830以降の説明に戻る。生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1830において、部品レベル「0」の要求工完日<最早工完日、となっているか判定する。この判定の結果、部品レベル「0」の要求工完日<最早工完日、すなわち、部品レベル「0」の要求工完日が最早工完日より早い場合(ステップ1830:Y)、生産計画作成部130は処理をステップ1840に進める。他方、上述の判定の結果、部品レベル「0」の要求工完日<最早工完日、すなわち、部品レベル「0」の要求工完日が最早工完日より遅い場合(ステップ1830:N)、生産計画作成部130は処理をステップ1860に進める。 Here, the description returns to step 1830 and subsequent steps in the flow of FIG. In step 1830, the production plan creation unit 130 determines whether the required work completion date of the component level “0” is less than the earliest work completion date. As a result of this determination, if the required work completion date of the part level “0” <the earliest work completion date, that is, if the required work completion date of the part level “0” is earlier than the earliest work completion date (step 1830: Y), the production plan The creation unit 130 advances the process to Step 1840. On the other hand, as a result of the determination described above, the required work completion date of the part level “0” <the earliest work completion date, that is, the required work completion date of the part level “0” is later than the earliest work completion date (step 1830: N). The production plan creation unit 130 proceeds with the process to step 1860.
 図12で例示する本実施形態のMRP展開情報132において、「生産計画1」の部品レベル「0」、つまり「製品A」の要求工完日は「4/7」、最早工完日は「4/3」である。よって、この場合、要求工完日より最早工完日の方が早い。よって生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1860へ進めることとなる。 In the MRP development information 132 of this embodiment illustrated in FIG. 12, the part level “0” of “Production Plan 1”, that is, the required work completion date of “Product A” is “4/7”, and the earliest work completion date is “4/7”. 4/3 ". Therefore, in this case, the construction completion date is earlier than the requested construction completion date. Therefore, the production plan creation unit 130 proceeds with the process to step 1860.
 生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1860において、調整後オーダ情報142(図15)における調整後納期1404の項目に、要求工完日「4/7」を登録する。要求工完日を調整後納期とするのは、最早工完日「4/3」が要求工完日「4/7」以前であるため、顧客からの要求納期を満たすことができるからである。 In step 1860, the production plan creation unit 130 registers the requested work completion date “4/7” in the item of the adjusted delivery date 1404 in the adjusted order information 142 (FIG. 15). The reason that the requested work completion date is the adjusted delivery date is that the earliest work completion date “4/3” is before the requested work completion date “4/7”, so that the requested delivery date from the customer can be satisfied. .
 次に生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1870において、MRP展開情報132の全レコードにおける最早工完日1206の値が設定されている参照して、全ての生産計画に対して最早工完日の算出処理済か判定する。この判定の結果、MRP展開情報132の全レコードにおいて最早工完日1206の値が設定されている、すなわち全ての生産計画に対して最早工完日の算出処理済みである場合(ステップ1870:Y)、生産計画作成部130は当該フローの処理を終了する。他方、上述の判定の結果、最早工完日の算出処理が済んでいない生産計画が残っている場合(ステップ1870:N)、生産計画作成部130は処理をステップ1810に戻す。上述までの本実施形態に関するフロー説明では、「生産計画2」および「生産計画3」が最早工完日算出に関して未処理のため、ステップ1810へ処理が戻されることとなる。 Next, in step 1870, the production plan creation unit 130 refers to the value of the earliest work completion date 1206 set in all records of the MRP expansion information 132, and calculates the earliest work completion date for all production plans. Judge whether processed. As a result of this determination, when the value of the earliest work completion date 1206 is set in all the records of the MRP development information 132, that is, the calculation process of the earliest work completion date has been completed for all production plans (step 1870: Y ), The production plan creation unit 130 ends the process of the flow. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if there is a production plan that has not been subjected to the calculation process for the earliest work completion date (step 1870: N), the production plan creation unit 130 returns the process to step 1810. In the flow description related to the present embodiment up to the above, since “production plan 2” and “production plan 3” are not yet processed regarding the calculation of the earliest work completion date, the processing is returned to step 1810.
 こうして生産計画作成部130は、生産計画情報131での優先度1105の値に従い、優先度の高い「生産計画3」から「生産計画2」の順で、ステップ1810~1870を実行する。「生産計画3」は「生産計画1」と同じフローをたどって最早工完日が計算されることなる。 Thus, the production plan creation unit 130 executes Steps 1810 to 1870 in the order of “Production Plan 3” to “Production Plan 2” having the highest priority according to the value of the priority 1105 in the production plan information 131. “Production plan 3” follows the same flow as “production plan 1”, and the earliest work completion date is calculated.
 例えば、生産計画作成部130は、「生産計画3」の「部品C」に関し、在庫情報123(図10)の在庫数量1003の値(すでに生産計画1の部品Cに全て引当済み)から、在庫引当不可と判定し、発注残情報122(図9)の発注数量903の値から、発注残「10」の引当が可能と判定し、最早充足日を入庫予定日「4/1」とする。また、該当工程の「部品倉庫」について、工程能力情報114にて生産能力は定義されていないため、最早工完日として最早充足日「4/1」を採用し、MRP展開情報132における最早工完日1206の項目に登録する。以降、生産計画作成部130は、「生産計画3」の他の品目である、「半製品B」、「製品A」についても最早充足日、最早工完日の算定を実行し、ステップ1830~1870の処理を実行するのである。そうした一連の処理の結果を図27に示す。図27で例示するように、「生産計画3」に関して、最早工完日は、「部品C」が「4/1」、「半製品B」が「4/3」、「製品A」が「4/4」となる。 For example, with respect to “part C” of “production plan 3”, the production plan creation unit 130 determines the inventory from the value of the inventory quantity 1003 of the inventory information 123 (FIG. 10) (already allocated to part C of production plan 1). It is determined that allocation is not possible, and it is determined from the value of the order quantity 903 in the remaining order information 122 (FIG. 9) that it is possible to allocate the remaining order “10”, and the earliest fulfillment date is set as the scheduled receipt date “4/1”. In addition, since the production capacity is not defined in the process capability information 114 for the “part warehouse” of the corresponding process, the earliest fulfillment date “4/1” is adopted as the earliest work completion date, and the earliest work in the MRP development information 132 is performed. Register in the item of complete date 1206. Thereafter, the production plan creation unit 130 executes the calculation of the earliest fulfillment date and the earliest work completion date for “half-finished product B” and “product A”, which are other items of “production plan 3”. The process 1870 is executed. The result of such a series of processing is shown in FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 27, regarding “production plan 3”, the earliest work completion date is “part C” is “4/1”, “semi-finished product B” is “4/3”, and “product A” is “ 4/4 ".
 一方、「生産計画2」について上述の各処理を実行すると、図28で例示するように、最早工完日は、「部品C」が「4/7」、「半製品B」が「4/8」、「製品A」が「4/9」となる。よってステップ1830における判定の結果、部品レベル「0」の要求工完日が最早工完日より小さい、すなわち要求工完日より最早工完日が遅いことが判明する(ステップ1830:Y)。よって生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1840に進める。 On the other hand, when the above-described processes are executed for “production plan 2”, as shown in FIG. 28, “Part C” is “4/7” and “Semi-finished product B” is “4 / 8 ”and“ Product A ”become“ 4/9 ”. Therefore, as a result of the determination in step 1830, it is found that the requested work completion date of the part level “0” is smaller than the earliest work completion date, that is, the earliest work completion date is later than the requested work completion date (step 1830: Y). Therefore, the production plan creation unit 130 proceeds with the process to step 1840.
 この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1840において、「生産計画2」の元となっているオーダ「Order2」の最早納期に最早工完日を採用する。よって生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1850において、調整後オーダ情報141における「Order2」に関する調整後納期1404の項目に、上述の「生産計画2」の最早納期である「4/9」を登録する。この「生産計画2」に関する一連の処理が終了した時点で、ステップ1870(図17)において、全ての生産計画が処理済みである(ステップ1870:Y)と判定され、生産計画作成部130は、図17のフローを終了し、つまりは図16のフローにおけるステップ1800の処理を終了する。 In this case, in Step 1840, the production plan creation unit 130 adopts the earliest work completion date for the earliest delivery date of the order “Order2” that is the basis of “Production plan 2”. Therefore, in step 1850, the production plan creation unit 130 registers “4/9”, which is the earliest delivery date of the above-mentioned “production plan 2”, in the item of the adjusted delivery date 1404 related to “Order2” in the adjusted order information 141. . When a series of processes relating to this “production plan 2” is completed, it is determined in step 1870 (FIG. 17) that all production plans have been processed (step 1870: Y), and the production plan creation unit 130 The flow of FIG. 17 is terminated, that is, the processing of step 1800 in the flow of FIG. 16 is terminated.
 ここで図16のフローにおけるステップ1900以降の説明に戻る。生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1900において、最適工完日を算出する。本ステップの詳細な処理手順を図20に示すフローチャートを用いて説明する。 Here, the description returns to step 1900 and subsequent steps in the flow of FIG. In step 1900, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the optimal work completion date. The detailed processing procedure of this step will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
 この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1910において、MRP展開情報132(図12)の各生産計画のレコードのうち、部品レベル「0」の品目(つまり製品)に関するレコードで、最適工完日1207の項目が空白のものを、工完日未調整の生産計画として検索し、更に、そのうち優先度がもっとも低いものを、生産計画情報131(図11)の優先度1105の値に基づき、再調整対象として選択する。本実施形態に関するここまでの説明においては、まだ全ての生産計画が工完日未調整であるため、優先度がもっとも低い「3」である「生産計画2」を選択することとなる。 In this case, in step 1910, the production plan creation unit 130 is a record related to the item (ie, product) at the part level “0” among the records of each production plan of the MRP expansion information 132 (FIG. 12). If the item 1207 is blank, a production plan that has not been adjusted for completion of construction is searched, and the one with the lowest priority is searched again based on the value of the priority 1105 in the production plan information 131 (FIG. 11). Select as adjustment target. In the description so far regarding the present embodiment, since all production plans have not yet been adjusted for the completion date, “production plan 2” having the lowest priority “3” is selected.
 次に、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1920において、上述のステップ1910で選択した生産計画「生産計画2」について、部品レベルが最小の品目、つまり部品レベルが「0」の品目から順に最適工完日を算出する。その詳細な手順を、図21に示すフローに従って説明する。 Next, in step 1920, the production plan creation unit 130 optimizes the production plan “production plan 2” selected in step 1910 described above in order from the item with the lowest part level, that is, the item with the part level “0”. Calculate the completion date. The detailed procedure will be described according to the flow shown in FIG.
 生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1921において、上述のステップ1910で選択した工程に関する品目のうち部品レベル最小のものを選択する。本実施形態の場合、まずステップ1910で選択した「生産計画2」における部品レベル「0」、すなわち「製品A」に対応する工程として「ショップ1」を選択することとなる。 In step 1921, the production plan creation unit 130 selects the item at the part level minimum among the items related to the process selected in step 1910 described above. In the present embodiment, first, “shop 1” is selected as the process corresponding to the part level “0” in “production plan 2” selected in step 1910, that is, “product A”.
 生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1922において、上述のステップ1921で選択した部品レベルが「1」以上か否か判定する。この判定の結果、ステップ1921で選択した部品レベルが「1」以上であった場合(ステップ1922:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1924に進める。他方、上述の判定の結果、ステップ1921で選択した部品レベルが「1」以上でなかった場合、つまり部品レベル「0」であった場合(ステップ1922:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1923に進める。 The production plan creation unit 130 determines in step 1922 whether or not the part level selected in step 1921 described above is “1” or higher. If the result of this determination is that the part level selected in step 1921 is “1” or higher (step 1922: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the processing to step 1924. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the part level selected in step 1921 is not “1” or higher, that is, if the part level is “0” (step 1922: N), the production plan creation unit 130 performs processing. To step 1923.
 生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1923において、上述のステップ1921で選択した工程について、その要求工完日と最早工完日を、MRP展開情報132の該当値を参照して比較し、要求工完日より最早工完日の方が早いか判定する。この判定の結果、要求工完日より最早工完日が早ければ(ステップ1923:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1924に進める。他方、上述の判定の結果、要求工完日より最早工完日が遅ければ(ステップ1923:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1925に進める。本実施形態では、MRP展開情報132において、「生産計画2」の部品レベル「0」のレコードにおける要求工完日は「4/7」であり、最早工完日は「4/9」である。よってこの場合、最早工完日の方が要求工完日より遅く、処理はステップ1925へ進むこととなる。 In step 1923, the production plan creation unit 130 compares the required work completion date and the earliest work completion date with reference to the corresponding values in the MRP expansion information 132 for the process selected in step 1921 described above, Determine whether the earliest completion date is earlier than the day. If the result of this determination is that the earliest work completion date is earlier than the requested work completion date (step 1923: N), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to step 1924. On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the earliest work completion date is later than the requested work completion date (step 1923: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to step 1925. In the present embodiment, in the MRP development information 132, the requested work completion date in the record of the part level “0” of “production plan 2” is “4/7”, and the earliest work completion date is “4/9”. . Therefore, in this case, the earliest work completion date is later than the requested work completion date, and the process proceeds to Step 1925.
 生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1925において、最適工完日として最早工完日を採用し、MRP展開情報132における、該当生産計画の部品レベル最小のレコードの最適工完日1207の項目に登録する。本実施形態であれば、「生産計画2」の部品レベル「0」の最適工完日1207の値として、「4/9」を登録することとなる。 In step 1925, the production plan creation unit 130 adopts the earliest work completion date as the optimum work completion date, and registers it in the item of the optimum work completion date 1207 of the record of the minimum part level of the corresponding production plan in the MRP expansion information 132. . In the present embodiment, “4/9” is registered as the value of the optimal work completion date 1207 of the part level “0” of the “production plan 2”.
 続いて生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1926において、MRP展開情報132における該当生産計画の各工程全てについて最適工完日の処理済か判定する。この判定は、MRP展開情報132の該当生産計画の各レコードにおいて、最適工完日1207の項目に値が登録されていれば、該当生産計画について最適工完日の処理済と判定する処理となる。この判定の結果、該当生産計画の各工程全てについて最適工完日の処理済であれば(ステップ1926:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、この最適工完日算出処理を終了する。 Subsequently, in step 1926, the production plan creation unit 130 determines whether or not the optimal work completion date has been processed for all the processes of the production plan in the MRP expansion information 132. This determination is a process of determining that the optimal work completion date has been processed for the corresponding production plan if a value is registered in the item of the optimal work completion date 1207 in each record of the corresponding production plan of the MRP development information 132. . If the result of this determination is that the optimal work completion date has been processed for all the processes of the production plan (step 1926: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 ends this optimal work completion date calculation process.
 他方、上述の判定の結果、該当生産計画の各工程のうち最適工完日の処理が未だ完了していないものがある場合(ステップ1926:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1921に戻す。本実施形態の場合、上述の「生産計画2」の全ての工程について最適工完日1207の値が登録されておらず、処理はステップ1921へ戻ることとなる。 On the other hand, as a result of the above-described determination, if there is a process for which the optimal work completion date has not been completed among the processes of the corresponding production plan (step 1926: N), the production plan creation unit 130 performs the process at step 1921. Return to. In the case of the present embodiment, the value of the optimal work completion date 1207 is not registered for all the processes of the above-mentioned “production plan 2”, and the process returns to step 1921.
 再び実行することとなったステップ1921において、生産計画作成部130は、「生産計画2」の各工程のうち既に最適工完日に関する処理を終えた部品レベル「0」の工程「ショップ1」以外の工程のうち、部品レベル最小の部品レベル「1」の工程を選択する。また、続くステップ1922における生産計画作成部130は、該当工程の部品レベル「1」以上であると判定し(ステップ1922:Y)、処理をステップ1924に進める。 In step 1921 to be executed again, the production plan creation unit 130, except for the process “shop 1” at the part level “0” that has already completed the process related to the optimal work completion date among the processes of “production plan 2”. Among the processes, the process of the component level “1” with the minimum component level is selected. In addition, the production plan creation unit 130 in subsequent step 1922 determines that the level is “1” or higher in the corresponding process (step 1922: Y), and the process proceeds to step 1924.
 このステップ1924において、生産計画作成部130は、最適工完日を算出する。この算出方法に関する詳細は図22に示すフローチャートを用いて説明する。 In step 1924, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the optimal work completion date. Details regarding this calculation method will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
 この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2210において、該当工程に生産能力が備わっているか、すなわち工程能力情報114(図5)で生産能力が定義されているか判定する。この判定の結果、該当工程に生産能力が備わっている場合(ステップ2210:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ2220に進める。他方、該当工程に生産能力が備わっていない場合(ステップ2210:N)、生産計画作成部130は処理をステップ2250に進める。本実施形態の場合、該当工程である「生産計画2」の部品レベル「1」の工程「ショップ2」について、工程能力情報114にて生産能力「6」が定義されており、処理はステップ2220へ進むこととなる。 In this case, the production plan creation unit 130 determines in step 2210 whether the corresponding process has a production capacity, that is, whether the production capacity is defined by the process capacity information 114 (FIG. 5). If the result of this determination is that the relevant process has production capacity (step 2210: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the processing to step 2220. On the other hand, if the production process does not have a production capacity (step 2210: N), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the process to step 2250. In the case of the present embodiment, the production capability “6” is defined in the process capability information 114 for the process “shop 2” of the part level “1” of the “production plan 2” that is the corresponding process, and the process is step 2220. It will go to.
 生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2220において、総負荷量を算出する。総負荷量の算出方法は図18のステップ1824と同一である。よって、ここでの総負荷量は「5」となる。 In step 2220, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the total load amount. The method for calculating the total load amount is the same as step 1824 in FIG. Therefore, the total load amount here is “5”.
 また、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2230において、負荷山積みの最遅割付日を算出する。この最遅割付日は、「最早割付日」から「上位品目(1つ小さい部品レベルの品目)の最早割付日-供給LT-製造LT+1日」の間で、最も遅い割付可能な日付のことである。ここで、上位品目とは、MRP展開情報132において、処理対象の工程の品目と比較し、部品レベルが1つ小さい品目である。本実施形態では、部品レベルが小さいものから順に処理しているため、上位品目の最早割付日は必ず求められている。なお、製造LTの後に1日加算しているのは、最早割付日から最早工完日算出の際に1日減算していたのと同様に、製造LT=1日の場合は製造開始日=製造終了日とするためである。 Further, in step 2230, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the latest allocation date of the load pile. This latest allocation date is the date that can be allocated the latest from the “early allocation date” to the “early allocation date of the upper item (one smaller part level item) −supply LT−production LT + 1 day”. is there. Here, the upper item is an item whose component level is one smaller than the item of the process to be processed in the MRP development information 132. In the present embodiment, since the parts are processed in descending order, the earliest allocation date of the upper item is always obtained. Note that the one day added after the manufacturing LT is the same as the one day subtracted from the earliest allocation date when calculating the earliest work completion date. This is for the production end date.
 本実施形態では、部品レベル「1」より部品レベルが1つ上、すなわち部品レベル「0」の品目に対応する工程は、MRP展開情報132において、「製品A」が定義されている「ショップ1」である。また、この「製品A」の「ショップ1」における最早割付日は、図13に示す負荷割付結果情報133において、「4/9」である。よって、最遅割付可能日は、上位品目の最早工完日-供給LT-製造LT+1=「4/9」-1日-1日+1日=「4/8」となる。生産計画作成部130は、この最遅割付可能日を、負荷割付結果情報133における最適割付日1306の値として登録する。 In the present embodiment, the process corresponding to the item that is one level higher than the part level “1”, that is, the item level “0” is “shop 1” in which “product A” is defined in the MRP development information 132. Is. Further, the earliest allocation date of “Product A” in “Shop 1” is “4/9” in the load allocation result information 133 shown in FIG. Therefore, the latest assignable date is the earliest completion date of the upper item—supply LT—manufacturing LT + 1 = “4/9” −1 day−1 day + 1 day = “4/8”. The production plan creation unit 130 registers the latest assignable date as the value of the optimum assignment date 1306 in the load assignment result information 133.
 また、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2240にて、最適工完日を、最遅割付日+製造LT-1、と算出する。ここで1日減算している理由は、最早割付日から最早工完日を算出する式で1日減算している理由と同様である。上述のステップ2230での例であれば、最適工完日を、最遅割付日の「4/8」+製造LTの「1日」-1日=「4/8」と計算される。生産計画作成部130は、この最適工完日の算定結果を、MRP展開情報132における該当レコードの最適工完日1207の項目に登録する。 Further, in step 2240, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the optimal work completion date as the latest allocation date + production LT-1. Here, the reason for subtracting one day is the same as the reason for subtracting one day from the formula for calculating the earliest work completion date from the earliest allocation date. In the example in step 2230 described above, the optimum completion date is calculated as “4/8” of the latest allocation date + “1 day” of the manufacturing LT—1 day = “4/8”. The production plan creation unit 130 registers the calculation result of the optimum work completion date in the item of the optimum work completion date 1207 of the corresponding record in the MRP development information 132.
 他方、上述のステップ2210における判定の結果、該当工程に生産能力が備わっていない場合(ステップ2210:N)、ステップ2250において、生産計画作成部130は、部品要求日(該当工程における該当品目が上位品目の製造に求められる日)を最適割付日と計算して、これを最適工完日とし、MRP展開情報132における該当レコードの最適工完日1207の項目に設定する。上述までの本実施形態の場合、このステップ2250の処理は、上述した「生産計画2」の「ショップ2」に関する最適工完日の算定処理後、図21のフロー中のステップ1921を再実行した結果、「品目C」の「部品倉庫」工程が選択された場合にステップ1924に伴って実行される処理となる。 On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step 2210 described above, if the corresponding process does not have a production capacity (step 2210: N), in step 2250, the production plan creation unit 130 determines that the part request date (the corresponding item in the corresponding process is higher). The date required for manufacturing the item) is calculated as the optimal assignment date, and this is set as the optimal work completion date, which is set in the item of the optimal work completion date 1207 of the corresponding record in the MRP expansion information 132. In the case of the present embodiment up to the above, the processing of this step 2250 is the execution of step 1921 in the flow of FIG. 21 after the above-mentioned calculation process of the optimal work completion date for “shop 2” of “production plan 2”. As a result, when the “parts warehouse” process of “item C” is selected, the process is executed in accordance with step 1924.
 例えば、「生産計画2」における「部品C」は、「半製品B」を上位品目とする。また、最適工完日の算定対象である「部品C」の工程「部品倉庫」は生産能力が無い。また、「半製品B」の工程「ショップ2」の最適工完日は上述したように「4/8」と算定されている。この場合、「部品倉庫」と「ショップ2」の工程間に関する供給LTは、工程間情報113において「1」日であり、上述の部品要求日は「4/8」の1日前の「4/7」、すなわち工程「部品倉庫」に関する最適工完日は、「4/7」となる。以上により、「生産計画2」に対する最適工完日に関する調整結果は図28の状況のままとなった。 For example, “part C” in “production plan 2” has “semi-finished product B” as the upper item. In addition, the process “parts warehouse” of “part C”, which is a target for calculating the optimum completion date, has no production capacity. Further, the optimum completion date of the process “shop 2” of “semi-finished product B” is calculated as “4/8” as described above. In this case, the supply LT related to the process between “part warehouse” and “shop 2” is “1” day in the inter-process information 113, and the above-described part request date is “4/1” one day before “4/8”. 7 ”, that is, the optimum completion date for the process“ parts warehouse ”is“ 4/7 ”. As described above, the adjustment result related to the optimal work completion date for “production plan 2” remains as shown in FIG.
 ここで図21のフローにおけるステップ1926以降の説明に戻る。ステップ1926において、生産計画作成部130は、MRP展開情報132における該当生産計画の各工程全てについて最適工完日の処理済か判定する。上述までの本実施形態の場合、「生産計画2」について未処理工程は無いため(すなわち1926:Y)、生産計画作成部130は、以上にて、図22のフロー、すなわち図21におけるステップ1924の処理が終了する。 Here, it returns to the description after step 1926 in the flow of FIG. In step 1926, the production plan creation unit 130 determines whether the optimal work completion date has been processed for all the processes of the production plan in the MRP development information 132. In the present embodiment up to the above, since there is no unprocessed process for “production plan 2” (ie, 1926: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 has completed the flow of FIG. 22, ie, step 1924 in FIG. This process ends.
 図20のフローのステップ1930において、生産計画作成部130は、全ての生産計画について再調整済、すなわち最適工完日の算出済か判定する。この判定の結果、再調整済でない計画が残る場合(ステップ1930:N)、生産計画作成部130は処理をステップ1910に戻す。他方、判定の結果、全ての生産計画について再調整済であった場合(ステップ1930:Y)、生産計画作成部130は本フローを終了する。上述までの本実施形態の場合、「生産計画1」及び「生産計画3」が再調整済でないため、処理はステップ1910へ戻ることとなる。 20, in step 1930 of the flow in FIG. 20, the production plan creation unit 130 determines whether all the production plans have been readjusted, that is, whether the optimal work completion date has been calculated. As a result of this determination, when a plan that has not been readjusted remains (step 1930: N), the production plan creation unit 130 returns the process to step 1910. On the other hand, as a result of the determination, when all the production plans have been readjusted (step 1930: Y), the production plan creation unit 130 ends this flow. In the case of the present embodiment described above, since “production plan 1” and “production plan 3” have not been readjusted, the processing returns to step 1910.
 本実施形態の場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1910において、より優先度が低い「生産計画3」を選択する。この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1920において、部品レベルが「0」で最小の「製品A」を選択し、図21のフローを実行する。図21のフロー中、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1921にて上述の「製品A」の工程である「ショップ1」を選択し、ステップ1922において、上述のステップ1921で選択した部品レベルが「1」以上でない、つまり部品レベル「0」であると判定し(ステップ1922:N)、ステップ1923において、工程「ショップ1」について、その要求工完日「4/7」と最早工完日「4/4」を比較する。 In the case of the present embodiment, the production plan creation unit 130 selects “Production Plan 3” having a lower priority in Step 1910. In this case, the production plan creation unit 130 selects the smallest “Product A” with the part level “0” in Step 1920 and executes the flow of FIG. In the flow of FIG. 21, the production plan creation unit 130 selects “Shop 1” as the process of “Product A” described above at Step 1921, and at Step 1922, the part level selected at Step 1921 described above is “ It is determined that it is not 1 or more, that is, the component level is “0” (step 1922: N), and in step 1923, the required work completion date “4/7” and the earliest work completion date “ 4/4 "is compared.
 上述の場合、要求工完日より最早工完日の方が早いため(ステップ1923:N)、生産計画作成部130は、処理をステップ1924に進める。このステップ1924において、生産計画作成部130は、図22で例示したごとく最適工完日を算出する。この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2210において、該当工程「ショップ1」に生産能力が備わっているか工程能力情報114に基づき判定して、生産能力が備わっていると判定し(ステップ2210:Y)、処理をステップ2220に進める。生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2220において、総負荷量を算出する。総負荷量の算出方法は図18のステップ1824と同一である。よって、ここでの総負荷量は「10」となる。 In the above case, since the earliest work completion date is earlier than the requested work completion date (step 1923: N), the production plan creation unit 130 advances the processing to step 1924. In step 1924, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the optimal work completion date as illustrated in FIG. In this case, the production plan creation unit 130 determines in step 2210 whether the corresponding process “shop 1” has the production capacity based on the process capability information 114 and determines that the production capability is provided (step 2210: Y) The process proceeds to step 2220. In step 2220, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the total load amount. The method for calculating the total load amount is the same as step 1824 in FIG. Therefore, the total load amount here is “10”.
 また、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2230において、負荷山積みの最遅割付日を算出する。本実施形態では、「製品A」より部品レベルが1つ上のものは存在しないため、「製品A」の生産に用いる「ショップ1」が、他の生産計画に割付済みとなっている日以外の日で、要求工完日「4/7」と同じか最も近い早い日付を最適工完日と特定し、この最適工完日を、MRP展開情報132における該当レコードの最適工完日1207の項目に登録する。図30にて示す通り、「生産計画3」における部品レベル「0」の「製品A」の最適工完日として要求工完日「4/7」を採用する。 Further, in step 2230, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the latest allocation date of the load pile. In the present embodiment, there is no item that is one level higher than “Product A”, so “Shop 1” used for production of “Product A” is other than the day that has already been assigned to another production plan. The date that is the same as or closest to the requested work completion date “4/7” is identified as the optimum work completion date, and this optimum work completion date is set as the optimum work completion date 1207 of the corresponding record in the MRP development information 132. Register in the item. As shown in FIG. 30, the requested work completion date “4/7” is adopted as the optimum work completion date of “product A” at the part level “0” in “production plan 3”.
 この場合、「生産計画3」について「ショップ1」が最早工完日「4/4」に用いるとして割付していた生産能力は不要なる。よって該当日「4/4」における「ショップ1」の生産能力は当初の「10」に戻る。 In this case, the production capacity assigned to “Production Plan 3” by “Shop 1” as the earliest work completion date “4/4” becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the production capacity of “Shop 1” on the corresponding day “4/4” returns to the original “10”.
 その後、図21のフローに戻り、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1921において、次なる部品レベル「1」の品目「半製品B」に対応する工程、「ショップ2」を選択し、続くステップ1922にて、部品レベルが「1」以上と判定し(ステップ1922:Y)、ステップ1924において、図22で例示したごとく最適工完日を算出する。 Then, returning to the flow of FIG. 21, the production plan creation unit 130 selects a process “shop 2” corresponding to the item “semi-finished product B” of the next part level “1” in step 1921, and continues to step 1922. Thus, it is determined that the part level is “1” or more (step 1922: Y), and in step 1924, the optimal work completion date is calculated as illustrated in FIG.
 この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2210において、該当工程「ショップ2」に生産能力が備わっていると判定し(ステップ2210:Y)、処理をステップ2220に進める。生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2220において、総負荷量を算出する。総負荷量の算出方法は図18のステップ1824と同一である。よって、ここでの総負荷量は「5」となる。 In this case, the production plan creation unit 130 determines in step 2210 that the process “shop 2” has a production capacity (step 2210: Y), and advances the process to step 2220. In step 2220, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the total load amount. The method for calculating the total load amount is the same as step 1824 in FIG. Therefore, the total load amount here is “5”.
 また、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2230において、負荷山積みの最遅割付日を算出する。本実施形態では、部品レベル「1」より部品レベルが1つ上、すなわち部品レベル「0」の品目に対応する工程は、MRP展開情報132において、「製品A」が定義されている「ショップ1」である。また、この「製品A」の「ショップ1」における最適割付日は、図13に示す負荷割付結果情報133において、「4/7」である。つまり、同じ生産計画における上位品目の工程に関して、既に最適工完日が算定されている場合、このステップ2230の最遅割付日の算出式には、最早工完日ではなく最適工完日を採用する。また、カレンダ情報116(図7)によれば、「製品A」の「ショップ1」における最適割付日「4/7」の直前期にあたる「4/5」、「4/6」が休日であるため、供給LTは、通常の「ショップ1」と「ショップ2」の間の「1」日に2日を加えた「3」日となる。また、製造LTは品目情報112(図3)により「1」日である。よって、「生産計画3」における「半製品B」の工程「ショップ2」に関する最遅割付可能日は、上位品目の最適工完日-供給LT-製造LT+1=「4/7」-3日-1日+1日=「4/4」となる。 Further, in step 2230, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the latest allocation date of the load pile. In the present embodiment, the process corresponding to the item that is one level higher than the part level “1”, that is, the item level “0” is “shop 1” in which “product A” is defined in the MRP development information 132. Is. Further, the optimum allocation date of “Product A” in “Shop 1” is “4/7” in the load allocation result information 133 shown in FIG. In other words, when the optimal work completion date has already been calculated for the process of the higher-level item in the same production plan, the optimal work completion date is adopted instead of the earliest work completion date in the formula for calculating the latest allocation date in this step 2230. To do. Further, according to the calendar information 116 (FIG. 7), “4/5” and “4/6”, which are immediately before the optimal allocation date “4/7” in “Shop 1” of “Product A”, are holidays. Therefore, the supply LT is “3” days, which is obtained by adding 2 days to the “1” between the normal “shop 1” and “shop 2”. Further, the manufacturing LT is “1” day according to the item information 112 (FIG. 3). Therefore, the latest assignable date for the process “shop 2” of the “semi-finished product B” in the “production plan 3” is the optimal completion date of the upper item—supply LT—manufacturing LT + 1 = “4/7” —3 days— 1 day + 1 day = “4/4”.
 また、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2240にて、最適工完日を、最遅割付日の「4/4」+製造LTの「1日」-1日=「4/4」と計算する。生産計画作成部130は、この最適工完日の算定結果を、MRP展開情報132における該当レコードの最適工完日1207の項目に登録する。このように、部品レベル「1」の「半製品B」の最適工完日として「4/4」を採用した状況を図31にて示している。 In step 2240, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the optimum completion date as “4/4” of the latest allocation date + “1 day” of the manufacturing LT—1 day = “4/4”. . The production plan creation unit 130 registers the calculation result of the optimum work completion date in the item of the optimum work completion date 1207 of the corresponding record in the MRP development information 132. Thus, FIG. 31 shows a situation where “4/4” is adopted as the optimum completion date of “half-finished product B” at the part level “1”.
 この場合、「生産計画3」について「ショップ2」が最早工完日「4/3」に用いるとして割付していた生産能力は不要なる。よって該当日「4/3」における「ショップ2」の生産能力は当初の「6」に戻る。 In this case, the production capacity assigned to “Production Plan 3” by “Shop 2” as the earliest work completion date “4/3” becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the production capacity of “Shop 2” on the corresponding day “4/3” returns to the initial “6”.
 その後、図21のフローに戻り、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1921において、次なる部品レベル「2」の品目「部品C」に対応する工程、「部品倉庫」を選択し、続くステップ1922にて、部品レベルが「1」以上と判定し(ステップ1922:Y)、ステップ1924において、図22で例示したごとく最適工完日を算出する。 Thereafter, returning to the flow of FIG. 21, the production plan creation unit 130 selects a process corresponding to the item “part C” of the next part level “2”, “part warehouse” in step 1921, and continues to step 1922. Thus, it is determined that the component level is “1” or higher (step 1922: Y), and in step 1924, the optimal work completion date is calculated as illustrated in FIG.
 この場合、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2210において、該当工程「部品倉庫」に生産能力が備わっていないと判定し(ステップ2210:N)、処理をステップ2250に進める。生産計画作成部130は、ステップ2250において、部品要求日(「部品倉庫」工程における品目「部品C」が上位品目「半製品B」の製造に求められる日)を、最適割付日と計算して、これを最適工完日とし、MRP展開情報132における該当レコードの最適工完日1207の項目に設定する。「生産計画3」における「半製品B」の工程「ショップ2」の最適工完日は上述したように「4/4」と算定されている。この場合、「部品倉庫」と「ショップ2」の工程間に関する供給LTは、工程間情報113において「1」日であり、上述の部品要求日は「4/4」の1日前の「4/3」、すなわち工程「部品倉庫」に関する最適工完日は、「4/3」となる。このように、部品レベル「2」の「部品C」の最適工完日として「4/3」を採用した状況を図32にて示している。 In this case, the production plan creation unit 130 determines in step 2210 that the process “parts warehouse” has no production capacity (step 2210: N), and advances the process to step 2250. In step 2250, the production plan creation unit 130 calculates the part request date (the date “item C” in the “parts warehouse” process is required for the production of the upper item “semi-finished product B”) as the optimum allocation date. This is set as the optimum work completion date, and is set in the item of the optimum work completion date 1207 of the corresponding record in the MRP development information 132. As described above, the optimum completion date of the process “shop 2” of “semi-finished product B” in “production plan 3” is calculated as “4/4”. In this case, the supply LT related to the process between “parts warehouse” and “shop 2” is “1” day in the inter-process information 113, and the above-described part request date is “4/4” one day before “4/4”. 3 ”, that is, the optimum completion date for the process“ parts warehouse ”is“ 4/3 ”. Thus, FIG. 32 shows a situation in which “4/3” is adopted as the optimal work completion date of “part C” at the part level “2”.
 同様に、ステップ1910において「生産計画1」を採用し、図21および図22の各処理を上述の「生産計画2」、「生産計画3」同様に実行すると、図33に示すように、「製品A」の最適工完日を「4/4」、「半製品B」の最適工完日を「4/3」、「部品C」の最適工完日を「4/2」と算出出来る。生産計画作成部130は、これら各生産計画に関する最適工完日の算出結果をそれぞれ、MRP展開情報132における該当レコードに登録する。上述の「生産計画1」の処理後に、図20のフローにおけるステップ1930で、全生産計画の再調整済み(ステップ1930:Y)となり、生産計画作成部130は、ステップ1900(図16)の処理を終了する。 Similarly, when “production plan 1” is adopted in step 1910 and each process of FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 is executed in the same manner as the above-mentioned “production plan 2” and “production plan 3”, as shown in FIG. The optimal work completion date of “Product A” can be calculated as “4/4”, the optimal work completion date of “Semi-Product B” can be calculated as “4/3”, and the optimal work completion date of “Part C” can be calculated as “4/2”. . The production plan creation unit 130 registers the calculation result of the optimum completion date regarding each production plan in the corresponding record in the MRP development information 132. After the above-described “production plan 1” processing, the entire production plan is readjusted (step 1930: Y) in step 1930 in the flow of FIG. 20, and the production plan creation unit 130 performs the processing in step 1900 (FIG. 16). Exit.
 ここで図16のフローにおける説明に戻る。この場合、出力データ作成部140は、ステップ2000において、調整結果情報を適宜な出力装置等に出力する。ここでの出力内容は調整後オーダ情報142である。また、出力データ作成部140は、ユーザ指示などに応じてMRP展開情報132から調整結果差分情報141を作成し、出力するとしてもよい。MRP展開情報132から調整結果差分情報141を作成するロジックは、MRP展開情報132から、例えばユーザ指定により差分抽出対象とされた、該当生産計画における最適工完日と最早工完日または要求工完日の各項目の各値を抜き出し、項目間で日付の差分を算出し、これを調整結果差分情報141とするといったものを採用できる。以上により、生産計画調整の全フローが終了し、最適な生産計画は求められた。 Here, the description returns to the flowchart of FIG. In this case, the output data creation unit 140 outputs the adjustment result information to an appropriate output device or the like in step 2000. The output content here is the adjusted order information 142. The output data creation unit 140 may create and output the adjustment result difference information 141 from the MRP development information 132 in accordance with a user instruction or the like. The logic for creating the adjustment result difference information 141 from the MRP development information 132 is based on the optimum work completion date and the earliest work completion date or the requested work completion in the corresponding production plan, which is a difference extraction target by, for example, user designation from the MRP development information 132 It is possible to adopt a method in which each value of each item of the day is extracted, a date difference is calculated between the items, and this is used as the adjustment result difference information 141. With the above, the entire flow of production plan adjustment was completed, and an optimal production plan was obtained.
 本実施形態における生産計画調整支援技術による効果に関して、再調整前の生産計画を示す図29と、最適工完日に関する再調整後の生産計画を示す図34とを用いて説明する。図29は、図16のフロー中におけるステップ1800終了時点での生産計画とオーダの引当関係を示している。また、図34は、図16のフローにおける全ステップ終了時点での生産計画とオーダの引当関係を示している。 The effect of the production plan adjustment support technology in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 29 showing a production plan before readjustment and FIG. 34 showing a production plan after readjustment related to the optimal work completion date. FIG. 29 shows the allocation relationship between the production plan and the order at the end of step 1800 in the flow of FIG. FIG. 34 shows the allocation relationship between production plans and orders at the end of all steps in the flow of FIG.
 「Order2」と「生産計画2」の関係は、図29と図34のどちらの結果も同一である。これは、最早の生産計画ですらオーダからの要求に間に合わないため、再調整結果が変わらなかったことに起因している。一方で、「Order1」に対して「生産計画1」は、図29では「製品A」の完成(「生産計画1」の工完日「4/3」)から、「製品A」の出荷(「Order1」の要求納期「4/7」)まで「4」日ある。つまり、「製品A」が4日間棚卸資産となることを意味する。同様に「Order3」に対する「生産計画3」の調整結果より、「製品A」が3日棚卸資産となる。本実施形態では、数日単位であるため、棚卸資産増大などによる影響は小さいように見えるかもしれないが、これが数週間、数ヶ月単位であったり、また期末をまたぐような場合であったりすると、影響が大きくなる。 The relationship between “Order 2” and “Production plan 2” is the same in both the results of FIG. 29 and FIG. This is due to the fact that the readjustment result did not change because even the earliest production plan was not in time for the request from the order. On the other hand, “Production plan 1” for “Order1” is “Product A” in FIG. 29 (from “Completion date“ 4/3 ”of“ Production plan 1 ”) to“ Product A ”( There is "4" days until the requested delivery date of "Order1" (4/7)). That is, “Product A” becomes an inventory for 4 days. Similarly, from the adjustment result of “Production plan 3” with respect to “Order3”, “Product A” becomes a 3-day inventory. In this embodiment, since it is a unit of several days, it may seem that the impact of an increase in inventory assets is small, but this is a case where it is a unit of several weeks or months or crosses the end of the term. , The effect will be greater.
 一方で、図34では「Order1」に対する「生産計画1」の結果より、棚卸資産期間は3日であり、再調整前と比べて1日短縮される。また、「Order3」に対する「生産計画3」の結果からは、棚卸資産期間は0日、つまり再調整前と比べて3日短縮される。重要なのは、再調整後の生産計画でもオーダの要求納期は守られており、顧客要望通りに納品することが可能ということである。さらに、期をまたぐような再調整ができ、期末在庫の削減に繋がった場合などは、その分のキャッシュフローを確保することができ、納期遵守だけに限らない効果を生み出すことが可能になる。 On the other hand, in FIG. 34, from the result of “Production Plan 1” for “Order 1”, the inventory period is 3 days, which is shortened by 1 day compared with before the re-adjustment. Further, from the result of “Production plan 3” for “Order3”, the inventory period is 0 days, that is, 3 days shorter than before the readjustment. What is important is that the requested delivery date of the order is kept even in the production plan after re-adjustment, and it is possible to deliver the product as requested by the customer. In addition, when re-adjustment across periods is possible, leading to a reduction in inventory at the end of the period, it is possible to secure the corresponding cash flow, and it is possible to produce an effect that is not limited to observing deadlines.
 また、本実施例の最大の特徴は、図20のフロー中におけるステップ1910に示すように、再調整を優先度が低い生産計画から実施することにある。生産計画に対して最早工完日を求めるのは、生産を平準化するためであり、リソースを有効活用し、また顧客からの要求納期に可能な限り応えるためである。従来は根本的な能力不足に悩まされるユーザが多く、生産平準化によるリソースの有効活用だけで十分であったが、昨今の激しく変動する需要への対応により、能力が過剰となる場面が生じるようになってきた。能力が過剰となると必要以上の生産計画の前詰めが発生し、棚卸資産を増やす結果に繋がっていた。 そこで本実施形態では顧客からの要求納期を満たしながらも、棚卸資産となる期間を短縮することを可能とする。また、優先度が低い生産計画、これは計画が入った時点では確定していないなどキャンセルされる可能性が高い計画などが該当し、それをなるべく要求工完日に近づけて生産計画を実施することで結果的にオーダがキャンセルされた場合に、無駄が発生する可能性を低くすることになる。一方で、優先度が高い生産計画には優先的にリソースを充て、さらに後詰め優先度を下げ、できるときに作っておくことで、顧客の要求納期を確実に満たし、特急注文の増加や不測の事態による納期遅延などの問題を起こす可能性を減らすことができる。 Further, the greatest feature of this embodiment is that the readjustment is performed from a production plan with a low priority, as shown in step 1910 in the flow of FIG. The reason why the earliest work completion date is requested for the production plan is to level the production, to effectively use the resources, and to meet the requested delivery date from the customer as much as possible. In the past, there were many users who suffered from a fundamental shortage of capacity, and it was sufficient to use resources efficiently through production leveling. However, due to the recent demands for fluctuating demand, there may be a situation where the capacity becomes excessive. It has become. Excessive capacity led to more production plans than necessary, leading to increased inventory. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to shorten the period of inventory while satisfying the requested delivery date from the customer. Also, low-priority production plans, such as plans that have not been finalized at the time the plan is entered, are likely to be canceled, etc., and implement the production plan as close as possible to the required work completion date. As a result, when the order is canceled as a result, the possibility of waste is reduced. On the other hand, by preferentially allocating resources to high-priority production plans, further lowering the back-packing priority, and creating it when possible, it will ensure that the customer's requested delivery date is met, and the increase in express orders and unexpected The possibility of causing problems such as delays in delivery due to the situation can be reduced.
