Production planning system
View Patent ↗This invention relates to a production planning system that judges whether or not production can be carried out in accordance not only with a request from a sales side and a demand forecast but also with a production request number or a maximum producible number of sets for each product. In the invention, production request number information of products, parts list information and information about inventory and inventory schedule of each of parts are accepted. When a calculation processing unit calculates a material necessary amount and makes a production plan of the product, it makes the production plan setting a production infeasible number as a new necessary number to a date later than a date designated by the production request information if any production infeasible number of sets exists. Surplus parts information not linked with the production plan is generated and a production addable number is calculated for each product.
1. A production planning system for making a production plan of products by calculating a material necessary amount for at least one product on the basis of production request information containing a necessary number of the products and a date, parts list information of the products and information about inventory and inventory schedule of each parts, comprising at least an input unit; an output unit; a storage unit; and a calculation processing unit;
wherein the input unit accepts production request information of at least one product, parts list information and information about inventory and inventory schedule of each parts; and
when the calculation processing unit generates a production plan of the product by calculating the material necessary amount on the basis of the information inputted from the input unit, the calculation processing unit sets a production infeasible number of sets as a new necessary number to a date later than the date designated by the production request information when the production infeasible number of sets exists for the necessary number of the production request information, calculates the material necessary amount, generates the production plan and outputs the production plan to the output unit.
2. A production planning system according to claim 1 , wherein the calculation processing unit executes:
generation of surplus parts information not linked with the production plan on the basis of link information with inventory and information about inventory and inventory schedule as a result of the calculation of the material necessary amount; and
calculation of an addable production number of sets for each of the products, and outputs the addable production number to the output unit.
3. A production planning system according to claim 2 , wherein said calculation processing unit, when an additional production request number of the product is inputted from the input unit, executes:
judgement as to whether or not the additional production request number so inputted is smaller than the addable production number;
when the additional production request number is smaller than the addable production number, a link processing of the inventory by calculating the material necessary amount on the basis of the additional production request number, the parts list information and the information about inventory and inventory schedule to generate a new production plan, and control an output of the new production plan to the output unit;
generation of surplus parts information not linked with the production plan, from the link result based on the additional product request number, the information about inventory and inventory schedule and the parts list information;
re-calculation of the addable production number for each product on the basis of the surplus parts information; and
control to output the addable production number to the output unit.
4. A production planning system according to claim 2 , wherein said calculation production unit, when a deletion number of the production number of the product is inputted from the input unit, executes:
judgement as to whether the deletion number of the production number so inputted is smaller than the production plan number;
when the deletion number is smaller than the production plan number, release of the link of the inventory on the basis of the deletion number inputted, the parts list information and the information about inventory and inventory schedule, to generate a new production plan, and control an output of the new production plan to the output unit;
generation of surplus parts information not linked with the production plan, from the link release result based on deletion of the production number, the information about inventory and inventory schedule and the parts list information;
re-calculation of the addable production number for each product on the basis of the surplus parts information; and
control to output the addable production number for each product to the output unit.
5. A production planning system according to claim 1 , wherein the production request information contains priority information representing production priority for each product, and the calculation processing unit executes a planning processing of the production plan from products having higher priority in accordance with the priority.
6. A production planning system for making a production plan of products by calculating a material necessary amount for at least one product on the basis of production request information containing a necessary number of the products and a date, parts list information of the products and information about inventory and inventory schedule of each parts, comprising at least an input unit; an output unit; a storage unit; and a calculation processing unit;
wherein the input unit accepts production request information of at least one product, parts list information and information of inventory and inventory schedule of each parts; and
when a production plan of the product is made by calculating a material necessary amount on the basis of the information inputted from the input unit, the calculation processing unit calculates a short number of the products from a producible number obtained from the necessary number in the production request information and a producible number obtained as the result of calculation of the material necessary amount for those products which have a smaller producible number than the necessary number in the production request information as a result of the material necessary amount calculation, calculates necessary parts number necessary for producing the short number of products by looking up the parts list information, calculates a short parts number on the basis of information representing a link result of the material necessary amount calculation and outputs the information about the short parts of the products to the output unit.
7. A production planning system according to claim 6 , wherein the information about short parts outputted to the output unit is information that displays a tree structure generated on the basis of the parts list data on a screen and displays a necessary number, an inventory number, a short number and a date of each parts corresponding to a node of the tree displayed on the screen, and the short number calculation unit retrieves the parts list information of each product, extracts the product containing the parts and outputs information of the product as information of linked products when information designating a parts corresponding to the node of the tree is inputted from the input unit.
8. A production planning system according to claim 6 , wherein the production planning system of the product is connected to a parts production planning system of a parts maker through a network; and
the calculation processing unit gains access to the parts production planning system of the parts maker through the network, acquires an addable production number as to a short number of parts of the product the producible number of which is smaller than the necessary number of the production request information as a result of calculation of a material necessary amount in the production planning system of the product, updates the inventory schedule information on the basis of the addable production number, re-calculates a material necessary amount and makes a production plan.
