  • work-in-process inventory refers to the amount of the product of the first process that is ready to be taken into the second process.
  • the prediction unit 112 predicts the timing when the amount of work-in-progress inventory for the second process can be determined based on the time when delivery is possible, using the information indicating the production quantity acquired by the acquisition unit 111.

  • the amount of the item produced in the first process at 11:00 can be made into the work-in-process inventory in the second process at 14:00, three hours after it is produced.
  • the timing is predicted using the travel time from the manufacturing machine performing the first process to the manufacturing machine performing the second process, so it is possible to shorten the waiting time that occurs when the product of the first process has not yet arrived at the manufacturing machine performing the second process. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the waste of energy in the manufacturing process.
  • the time available for delivery may be a time that takes into consideration the travel time, the production capacity of the second process, the setup time for the travel, and the amount of energy consumed during the travel, or may be a time calculated by any combination of these.

In this way, the timing when the production quantity in the manufacturing machine in the first process can become the work-in-process inventory amount in the second process is displayed, allowing the user to understand the amount of product that can be taken into the second process at that timing.
  • the display unit 2 shows the display information for each manufacturing machine, the manufacturing status of each manufacturing machine is visualized. This makes it easier for users to manage the manufacturing process. Furthermore, because the display information is in the form of a graph, users can grasp the changes in the amount of work-in-process inventory over time. This makes it easier for users to manage the manufacturing process.
  • Fig. 5 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing in the production management device 1.
  • the production management device 1 first acquires the production quantity at a predetermined time for the first process of the manufacturing process from a control unit (not shown) that manages the production of the first process (step S11, acquisition step).

  • the inventory amount of the second process is displayed in real time, making it possible to present the accurate inventory amount of the second process at each time.
  • FIG. 7 an example of display information that the display information generating unit 114 causes to be displayed on the display unit 2 in the first modification example is shown.
  • the display unit 2 displays graphs 201 to 203, which are display information displayed on the display screen 20A.

  • the user can easily understand the production quantity for the first process and the inventory amount for the second process. This makes it easier for the user to manage the manufacturing processes. This prevents a situation from occurring where the display shows a work-in-process inventory amount, but the actual usable inventory amount differs from that work-in-process inventory amount.

  • the determination unit 115 may determine whether or not to adjust the operation of the manufacturing machine for the first process based on the relationship between the amount of work-in-progress inventory for each of the multiple manufacturing machines and the timing. Examples of adjustments to operation include changing the production volume and stopping production. When changing the production volume, for example, the production volume of a manufacturing machine that is far from the second process can be increased and the production volume of a manufacturing machine that is close to the second process can be decreased. By making such adjustments, it is possible to further shorten the waiting time caused by the product of the first process not reaching the manufacturing machine that performs the second process.
