Description

Manufacturing control apparatus, method and recording medium

The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method, and a recording medium for performing manufacturing control of an article.

In a factory, the manager generally controls the start and end of the production of articles. In order to control manufacturing, a method of visually expressing process schedule and results by means of a Gantt chart can be used. Patent Document 1 discloses a method in which a schedule scheduled in a process is represented by a bar graph, and superimposed thereon to represent the progress status by a line graph. By such a method, the schedule of the process and the schedule of the performance are visually represented, so that the manager can grasp the status of the process more easily than the case of using only numerical values.

JP, 2015-49710, A

In the manufacture of an article, another article is manufactured using one or more articles manufactured or purchased as materials. Here, the type of the article which is the material is called a child item, and the type of the article manufactured using the child item is called a parent item. Furthermore, manufacturing the article of the next parent item may be repeated, with the parent item as a child item. The product of the parent item manufactured last is the final product.

The child item is used (inputted) at the beginning or during the production of the parent item. At that time, if there is time from the end of production of the child item (in the case of the purchased child item to arrival) to the input to the production of the parent item, no item of the child item is used (ie, the item Stagnation) occurs. When stagnation of articles occurs, the throughput of the entire supply chain may be reduced, or wasteful costs for storage of articles may be incurred. As such, in manufacturing control, analysis and improvement of manufacturing is performed to reduce the retention of articles. In order for the manager to properly control the production, a technique for visualizing the retention of the articles is required.

The greater the value such as the quantity and price of articles generally manufactured, the greater the importance of retention of the articles, as significant waste occurs when the articles are stagnant. However, since the method described in Patent Document 1 merely displays the schedule of processes and the schedule of results, it is not possible to visualize the retention of the article and its importance.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view for explaining the production and retention of the article. In FIG. 3, for each item, the period from the start to the end of the manufacture of the item is represented by a line, and the period of residence is represented by an arrow. In the example of FIG. 3, item A is a parent item, and items B, C, and D are child items. That is, the item A is manufactured using the items B, C, and D as materials. Item B is introduced into the production line at the start of production of item A, and items C and D are introduced into the production line during the production of item A. As can be seen from FIG. 3, in each of the items B, C, and D, time is left between the end of the production of itself and the input to the production of the parent item. That is, the time is a period in which the articles stay. When goods are stagnant, the throughput of the entire supply chain may be low, or wasteful costs may be incurred, so it is required to improve the production of the item so as to reduce the stagnation.

As in the Gantt chart of Patent Document 1, FIG. 3 merely shows the time of manufacture and residence of each item. Therefore, it can not be known from the expression of FIG. 3 which item has what value (quantity or price). On the other hand, the manufacturing control apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment visualizes not only the time of manufacture and retention but also the value of the item relating to manufacture and retention as described later with reference to FIGS. Therefore, it is possible to show the user which item is more important to stay.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the manufacturing display band E displayed by the manufacturing control apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, “display” means to visually indicate to the user such as display by the display 110 and printing by the printer 120. The production band E is generated for each item of the article to be manufactured. When the articles to be manufactured are managed on a lot basis, a production band E is generated for each combination of item and lot. That is, if the items are the same but the lots are different, different manufacturing indication bands E are generated. A plurality of lots may be put together for the same item to generate one production indicator E without distinguishing the lots.

The plurality of generated production indication bands E are displayed stacked from the lower item to the upper item. Here, the item (child item) manufactured first is subordinate, and the item (parent item) manufactured using the subordinate item as a material is superior. The lower and upper relationships between the articles are preset in the manufacturing control apparatus 100. In the example of FIG. 4, since item B is used to manufacture item A, item B is subordinate and item A is superior. A plurality of subordinate items may be associated with one superior item.

One production display band E is a production area F (first area) indicating a period from the start of production to the end of production of an article of an item (here, child item B), A retention area G (second area) showing a period until it is used for the manufacture of A), and a use area H (third area) showing a period after the article is used for manufacture according to a superior item Including.

The production area F is displayed in the period from the start to the end of the production of the article. The manufacturing area F is an area surrounded by two first sides F1 facing each other and two second sides F2 connecting the end points of the two first sides F1. The first side F1 has a length corresponding to the number (the number of uses) of the item used to manufacture the upper item. That is, the length of the first side F1 is set to be larger as the number is larger and smaller as the number is smaller. For example, the length of the first side F1 may be set to be proportional to the quantity, or may be set to change stepwise according to the quantity. The rule of the length of the first side F1 according to the quantity is not limited to the one exemplified here but is arbitrarily determined and recorded in advance in the manufacturing control apparatus 100.

The use of the number of articles rather than the number of articles produced to set the length of the first side F1 means that articles produced in the same lot can be divided and used to produce different superior items It is because there is. Alternatively, the number of manufactured articles (that is, the total quantity of the same item and lot) may be used to set the length of the first side F1.

In order to set the length of the first side F1, the price (ie, the unit price of the item × the quantity) may be used. Using the price of the item makes it easy to compare the manufacturing indication band E of the item having different unit prices. An index that can represent the value of an item, such as the quantity and price of an item, is collectively referred to herein as the value of the item. In other words, the value of the item is calculated based on at least one of the quantity and the price of the item, and the first side F1 has a length corresponding to the value of the item. The length of the first side F1 is set to be larger as the value is higher and smaller as the value is lower.

Of the two first sides F1 facing each other, one first side F1 is arranged at a position indicating the start time of manufacture (in the case of purchased item B, the start time of arrival), and the other first side F1 F1 is placed at a position indicating the end time of production (in the case of purchased item B, the end time of arrival). The production and purchase of goods are collectively referred to as handling of goods. In other words, the two second sides F2 connecting the two first sides F1 are at the time when the item related to item B is handled (ie, the elapsed time from the start time of item handling to the end time of item handling). It has a corresponding length. More specifically, since the item related to item B is managed for each lot in this embodiment, any item included in one lot of item B is purchased or manufactured from the first start time to the last The time until the end time is the time at which the item B is handled.

The length of the second side F2 is set to be larger as the time is longer and to be smaller as the time is shorter. For example, the length of the second side F2 may be set to be proportional to time, or may be set to change stepwise according to time. The rule of the length of the second side F2 according to the time is not limited to the one illustrated here, but is arbitrarily determined and recorded in advance in the manufacturing control apparatus 100.

A staying area G is displayed next to the manufacturing area F along the time series. The stagnant area G is an area surrounded by two first sides G1 facing each other and two second sides G2 connecting the two first sides G1. Of the two first sides G1 facing each other, one of the first sides G1 is a position indicating the end time of manufacture of the item B indicated by the manufacture indication band E (the end time of arrival for purchased item B) , And the other first side G1 is placed at a position indicating the start time of manufacture of the upper item A in which the item B is used as a material. In other words, the two second sides G2 connecting the two first sides G1 are used for manufacturing the item A higher than the time when the item B stays (ie the end time of the handling of the item B) It has a length corresponding to the elapsed time). More specifically, since the item related to item B is managed for each lot in the present embodiment, the item from the last end time at which any item included in one lot of item B was purchased or manufactured Until the time when all the articles included in one lot of B are used to manufacture the superior item A is the time when the articles related to the item B stay.

The first side G1 of the retention area G has the same length as the first side F1 of the manufacturing area F. The first side G1 may coincide with the first side F1 or may be separated by a predetermined length. The end time of handling of the subordinate item and the time used for manufacturing the superior item are close (for example, the elapsed time from the end time of manufacture or arrival of item B to the time used for manufacturing of superior item A is predetermined The dwell region G may not be generated if the time is less than or less than the time of.

The two second sides G2 connecting the two first sides G1 have a length corresponding to an elapsed time (referred to as a residence time) from the end time of handling of item B to the time used for manufacturing upper item A. Have. The length of the second side G2 is set to be larger as the time is longer and to be smaller as the time is shorter. For example, the length of the second side G2 may be set to be proportional to time, or may be set to change stepwise according to time. The rule of the length of the second side G2 according to the time is not limited to the one illustrated here, but is arbitrarily determined and recorded in advance in the manufacturing control apparatus 100.

The use area H is displayed next to the retention area G along the time series. The use area H is an area surrounded by two first sides H1 opposed to each other and two second sides H2 connecting the two first sides H1. Among the two first sides H1 facing each other, one first side H1 is disposed at a position indicating the start time of manufacture of the upper item A in which the item B is used as a material, and the other first side H1 is It is placed at a position indicating the final time of the display range. Here, the display range is from the time when manufacture of item B starts to the time when manufacture of item A ends in time series.

The first side H1 of the use area H has the same length as the first side G1 of the retention area G. The first side H1 may coincide with the first side G1 or may be separated by a predetermined length. The use area H may be omitted or may be displayed as a transparent area.

Although FIG. 4 shows a method for generating and displaying the manufacturing indication band E of the item B, the manufacturing indication band E may be similarly generated and displayed for items higher and lower than the item B. Then, the manufacturing display bands E of the upper item are stacked and displayed in order on the manufacturing display band E of the lower item. The direction in which the manufacturing indicator band E is stacked is not limited to the upward direction as long as it is a direction from the lower item to the upper item, and may be any direction. The boundaries between stacked manufacturing display bands E may be displayed or deleted.

It is desirable that the appearance such as the color and pattern of the stagnant area G be displayed so as to be different from the appearance of the manufacturing area F. Thus, the user can easily recognize the stagnant area G. In addition, characters such as "manufacturing", "dwelling", and "use" may be attached to the manufacturing area F, the staying area G and the use area H in order to distinguish them.

Information for displaying the manufacturing display band E including the manufacturing area F, the staying area G and the use area H is temporarily recorded in the memory 102 after being generated by the CPU 101 and displayed using the display 110 or the printer 120. Ru.

According to such a display method, the retention area G is displayed larger as at least one of the quantity (value) of the article and the residence time of the article is larger. The area of the retention area G is an index based on both the time and the value of the retention of the article, and the larger the value, the more waste is generated. For example, the retention area G can be reduced by changing the production schedule so that the production area F of the child item B is shifted backward or the production area F of the parent item A is shifted forward. As described above, since the user can visually grasp the stagnant area G having a large improvement effect, the importance of each stagnant area G can be easily analyzed.

FIG. 5 is a front view of the display 110 for displaying the manufacturing display band E according to the present embodiment. In the example of FIG. 5, item A is a parent item, and items B, C, and D are child items. The stagnation display information J includes at least one manufacturing display zone E. The vertical axis of the stagnation display information J indicates an item for each lot, and the horizontal axis indicates time. In this embodiment, the unit of time on the horizontal axis is day, but any unit of time such as year, month, day, hour, and minute can be used. The range of time displayed in the stagnation display information J is, for example, from the start of manufacture of the first manufactured item in time series to the end of manufacture of the last manufactured item. Alternatively, specification of a time range to be displayed may be accepted from the user via the input device 105.

The manufacturing display zone E is displayed at the position of the corresponding item and time on the staying display information J. An item name is displayed near the manufacturing display zone E. The output of the stagnant display information J is not limited to screen display by the display 110, and may be performed by any method capable of visually displaying to the user, such as printing by the printer 120.

On the display 110, a selection column K of an item to be displayed and a selection column L of a lot are displayed. When items and lots are selected by the user operating the input device 105, the selected items and lots are regarded as superior items (parent items), and the items used to manufacture the selected items and lots and With the lot as the lower item (child item), the upper item production indication band E is stacked and displayed on the lower item production indication band E as shown in FIG. A method of specifying the upper item on the product side in this way and tracking and displaying in the direction from the specified upper item to the lower item on the material side is called backtrace display. In the back trace display, in addition to the manufacturing indication band E of one designated upper item, the manufacturing indication band E of one or more subordinate items which are materials of the designated upper item is displayed. Although the items B, C, and D, which are the materials of the upper item A, are displayed in the example of FIG. 5, items that are the materials of the items B, C, and D may be displayed.

Thus, by stacking (displaying side by side) the production display bands E of the lower item and the upper item, the user can look from the material to the final product, and there is a room for improvement of retention in any item. It is possible to analyze whether it is large or not.

In the example of FIG. 5, it can be seen that the retention area G of the item B is large. Therefore, it can be determined that retention can be effectively reduced by shifting the production of item B backward or shifting the production of item A forward.

The display mode of the stagnation area G may be changed according to the area of the stagnation area G. More specifically, for example, when the area of the stagnant area G satisfies a predetermined standard (for example, is larger than a predetermined threshold), the stagnant area G satisfying the predetermined standard is emphasized in comparison with other stagnant areas G. It may be displayed (highlighted). Here, the configuration in which the retention area G is highlighted and displayed when the area of the retention area G satisfies a predetermined standard has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The same applies to the following embodiments.

In addition, it is also assumed that the retention area G includes the time taken to transport the article. For example, when the time taken for transportation is managed separately from the residence time, a region (transportation region) different from the residence region G may be displayed. In that case, a transport area (not shown) is displayed next to the manufacturing area F along the time series. The transport region is a region surrounded by two first sides facing each other and two second sides connecting the two first sides. Of the two first sides facing each other, one of the first sides is placed at a position indicating the end time of manufacture of the item indicated by the manufacturing indicator, and the other first side is delivered (stocked). It is placed at a position that indicates the In other words, the two second sides connecting the two first sides have a length corresponding to the time it takes to transport the item (for example, the time from the time the item is manufactured and shipped to the time it is received).

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the manufacturing control method according to the present embodiment. The manufacturing control method is performed by the manufacturing control apparatus 100. The manufacturing control method is started, for example, when the user performs a predetermined operation from the input device 105 of the manufacturing control apparatus 100.

First, the manufacturing management apparatus 100 receives a selection of items and lots to be displayed from the user via the input device 105 (step S101).

Next, the manufacturing control apparatus 100 acquires manufacturing information of the item and lot selected in step S101 from the manufacturing information storage device 20, and manufactures higher-level items and lots in which the item and lot are used as materials. Information is acquired (step S102). The manufacturing information may be read from the manufacturing information storage device 20 each time the manufacturing control method is executed, or read from the manufacturing information read from the manufacturing information storage device 20 in advance and recorded in the manufacturing management device 100. It may be issued.

Next, the manufacturing management apparatus 100 generates information for displaying the manufacturing display band E for each item and lot from the manufacturing information read in step S102 (step S103). Specifically, the manufacturing control apparatus 100, the first side F1 opposite to each other having a length corresponding to the quantity (value) of the item and lot, and the time of handling (that is, manufacturing or arrival) of the item and lot A production area F surrounded by the opposing second sides F2 having a length corresponding to. Next, the manufacturing control apparatus 100 sets the first side G1 opposite to each other having a length corresponding to the quantity (value) of the item and lot, and the upper side from the end of handling (that is, manufacturing or arrival) of the item and lot. A stagnant area G surrounded by mutually opposing second sides G2 having a length corresponding to the time until being used for manufacturing the item is generated. Finally, the manufacturing control apparatus 100 combines the manufacturing area F and the retention area G into a manufacturing display band E. Furthermore, the manufacturing control apparatus 100 may generate a use area H indicating a period after the item and lot have been used to manufacture a higher item, and may add the use area H to the manufacturing indication band E. The manufacturing control apparatus 100 temporarily records, on the memory 102, the information for displaying the generated manufacturing indication band E.

If generation of the manufacturing indication band E has not been completed for all the items and lots acquired in step S102 (NO in step S104), step S103 is repeated for the next item and lot.

When the generation of the manufacturing indication band E is completed for all the items and lots acquired in step S103 (YES in step S104), the manufacturing management apparatus 100 uses the memory 102 to display information for displaying the manufacturing indication band E. Control is performed to read out and display the manufacturing display band E generated in step S103 using the display 110, the printer 120, and the like (step S105). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the manufacturing control apparatus 100 stacks and displays the manufacturing display bands E of the lower item and the upper item. At this time, the manufacturing control apparatus 100 displays the appearances of the manufacturing area F and the retention area G included in the manufacturing display band E so as to be different from each other.

In the present embodiment, the CPU 101 of the manufacturing management apparatus 100 is the main body of each step (process) included in the process shown in FIG. Specifically, the CPU 101 functions as a reception unit that executes step S101, an acquisition unit that executes step S102, a generation unit that executes step S103, and a display control unit that executes step S105. The CPU 101 reads a program for executing the process shown in FIG. 6 from the memory 102 or the storage device 103, and executes the program to control each part of the manufacturing management apparatus 100 to execute the process shown in FIG. In addition, at least a part of the processing illustrated in FIG. 6 may be performed by a dedicated device or an electric circuit instead of the CPU 101.

According to the manufacturing control apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to visualize the stagnation in the manufacture of articles in a parent-child relationship based on the value (quantity or price) of the articles in addition to the residence time of the articles. That is, since at least one of the residence time of the article and the value of the article increases, the area of the area indicated by the residence increases, so the user can easily determine the importance of the residence from the size of the area indicating the residence. Also, by accumulating (displaying side by side) the stagnation of the lower item and the upper item, the user can look from the material to the final product, and in which item there is a large room for improvement of the residence, etc. Analysis can be performed. In addition, since stagnation is displayed for each lot of items, it is possible to distinguish and visualize when there are multiple lots for the same item.

Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, a back trace is displayed to track and display in the direction from the specified upper item to the lower item on the material side. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in addition to the back trace display, a forward trace display for tracking and displaying in the direction from the specified item lower item on the material side to the upper item on the final product side is performed. Furthermore, this embodiment displays the number of uses and the number of remaining items in the same lot. This allows the user to more flexibly manage the item lot.

The manufacturing management apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can switch and display back trace display and forward trace display. FIG. 7 is a front view of the display 110 performing backtrace display according to the present embodiment. In the screen of FIG. 7, in addition to the same information as in FIG. 5, a message M indicating backtrace display, the number N of uses in one lot, and the remaining number P in one lot are displayed.

The usage number N is a quantity used for the upper-order item being displayed in one lot of the items in the production band E. The usage number N is displayed in or near the manufacturing display zone E. As described in the first embodiment, the vertical length of the manufacturing indication band E (that is, the lengths of the first sides F1, G1, and H1) corresponds to the number N of use, so the larger the number N of use, the manufacture The vertical length of the display band E is large. Instead of or in addition to the use number N, the total quantity of one lot of the items of the production display zone E may be displayed. The remaining number P is the total number of one lot of the items in the production band E minus the number N used. The remaining number P is displayed near the item name.

By displaying the usage number N and the remaining number P for each lot in this manner, the user can easily know the usage status of the articles of the same lot.

Furthermore, the remaining number P can be virtually pressed on the display 110 by the operation of the user. When the remaining number P is pressed, the display 110 transits to the screen of the forward trace display of FIG. 8 with the items and lots associated with the remaining number P being displayed.

FIG. 8 is a front view of the display 110 performing the forward trace display according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 8, in addition to the same information as FIG. 5, a message Q indicating that it is a forward trace display, and the number N of uses in one lot are displayed. The usage number N is displayed in or near the manufacturing display band E as in FIG. Moreover, the item and lot of the display object pressed on the back trace screen of FIG. 7 are displayed.

Contrary to the back trace display, in the screen of FIG. 8, a forward trace display for tracking and displaying in the direction from the lower item on the specified material side to the upper item on the final product side is performed. Specifically, when the items and lots to be displayed are specified on the screen in FIG. 7, the specified items and lots are used as subordinate items (child items), and the specified items and lots are used as materials. With the item and the lot as the upper item (parent item), the upper item production indication band E is stacked and displayed on the lower item production indication band E as shown in FIG. 4.

When the designated item and lot are used for multiple parent items, the manufacturing indicator E is stacked and displayed for each parent item. In addition, if at least a part of the specified item and lot is not used yet, the retention area G of the manufacturing display zone E of the item and lot not used is extended to a position indicating the final time of the display range Is displayed. Here, the display range is from the start of manufacture of item D manufactured first in time series to the end of manufacture of item A manufactured last.

The user can track how items of the same item and lot have been used by stacking (displaying side by side) the manufacturing display strips E in the direction from the material side item designated in this way to the final product side. This makes it easy to analyze whether the production schedule can be changed or not.

When designated child items and lots are used for multiple parent items, manufacturing indicator E for only any parent item may be displayed. In that case, the manufacturing management apparatus 100 receives the selection of the parent item to be displayed from the user via the input device 105. FIG. 9 is a front view of the display 110 performing display for receiving selection of a parent item to be displayed according to the present embodiment. The screen of FIG. 9 is displayed when an item and a lot to be displayed as child items in FIG. 7 are designated. At this time, a selection field R of the parent item is displayed on the display 110. In the parent item selection field R, options of the parent item and lot for which the designated child item and lot are used as materials are displayed. In addition, when at least a part of the designated child item and lot is not used yet, the selection item R of the parent item displays the option of the unused part (uninserted part). The options can be virtually pressed on the display 110 by the operation of the user. When one of the options is pressed, the forward trace display of FIG. 8 is performed for the designated child item and combination of lot and parent item and lot (or the unused part of designated child item and lot). .

When the designated child item and lot are used for a plurality of parent items, manufacturing display bands E for a plurality of parent items may be superimposed and displayed. FIG. 10 is a front view of the display 110 performing the forward trace display according to the present embodiment. In the screen of FIG. 10, the staying display information J is generated for each parent item for the designated child item and lot, and the plurality of staying display information J is superimposed and displayed. In FIG. 10, although it has superimposed and displayed in the state which looked at the stagnation display information J from the diagonal, it may superimpose and display in the state seen from the front. In addition, at least a part of the staying display information J may be transmitted, and the staying display information J on the back side may be displayed so as to be seen. When one of the staying display information J is selected by the operation of the user, the display order of the plurality of staying display information J is changed such that the selected staying display information J comes closest to the user.

By the display method as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, even when the designated child item and lot are used for a plurality of parent items, the stagnation of the item can be displayed by the user in an easy-to-understand manner.

Third Embodiment
While the first embodiment displays the manufacturing indicator band E for each lot of articles, the present embodiment displays the manufacturing indicator band E for each item of the article. The other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.

FIG. 11 is a front view of the display 110 that displays the manufacturing display band E according to the present embodiment. Although back trace display is performed in the example of FIG. 11, this embodiment can be applied to forward trace display as in the second embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the articles are managed with a unique serial number for each individual. A serial number selection field S is displayed on the display 110 in place of the lot selection field L of FIG. When an item and a serial number are selected by the user operating the input device 105, the selected item and the serial number are regarded as higher-order items (parent items) and are used to manufacture the selected item and the serial number. As shown in FIG. 4, the production indicator band E of the subordinate item and the manufacturing indicator band E of the superior item are displayed in a stacked manner as the subordinate item (child item) as the subordinate item and the serial number. Further, in FIG. 11, not the day but the time of the horizontal axis is used.

As described in the first embodiment, the length of the second side F2 of the manufacturing area F corresponds to the time when the article is handled. In this embodiment, since the articles are managed for each individual (serial number), the time from the start time to the end time when one individual was purchased or manufactured to the end time is taken as the time when the articles of the individual are handled. In addition, the length of the second side G2 of the stagnation region G corresponds to the time during which the article is stagnant. The time from the end time when one individual was purchased or manufactured to the time when the individual is used to manufacture the superior item is taken as the time when the item of the individual stays.

When back trace display or forward trace display is performed, a display screen of manufacturing display band E for each individual may be displayed from the beginning. Alternatively, on the display screen of the manufacturing display band E for each lot according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment, when the user designates any item and lot, the designated item and the designated item It may transition to the display screen of the manufacturing display band E for each individual included in the lot.

The manufacturing control apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment displays the manufacture and retention of an item for each individual, not for a lot. Therefore, the user can analyze the production and retention of the article in more detail.
