Abstract
According to one embodiment, a production support system for supporting a production method for a product to which a model number is allocated in a course of production. The system includes a predicted model number calculation unit which to calculate a predicted model number for a work-in-process to which the model number is not allocated, on the basis of information about the work-in-process to which the model number is not allocated in the course of production, a requirement of the model number that is found in advance, and model number allocation condition information.
Claims20
A production support system that allocates a predicted model number to a work-in-process in a process prior to a process of allocating a model number, the system comprising:
- circuitry configured to calculate the predicted model number for the work-in-process which is not allocated the model number among candidates of the model number to be allocated, wherein
- the circuitry is configured to calculate the predicted model number on the basis of information about the work-in-process which is not allocated the model number in a course of product production, a requirement of the model number that is found in advance, model number allocation condition information which is past record information, and information about a number of remaining required products to be produced in the course of product production,
- the circuitry is configured to allocate the predicted model number calculated to the work-in-process in the process prior to the process of allocating the model number to a finished product of the course of product production, and
- the circuitry is configured to manage the course of product production by controlling at least one of progress management, start control, and input control for one or more product being produced based on the predicted model number calculated that is allocated to the work-in-process.
A production support method that allocates a predicted model number to a work-in-process in a process prior to a process of allocating a model number, the method comprising:
- calculating, with circuitry, the predicted model number for the work-in-process which is not allocated the model number on the basis of information about the work-in-process among candidates of the model number to be allocated in a course of product production, a requirement of the model number that is found in advance, model number allocation condition information which is past record information, and information about a number of remaining required products to be produced in the course of product production;
- allocating, with the circuitry, the predicted model number calculated to the work-in-process in the process prior to the process of allocating the model number to a finished product of the course of product production;
- and
- managing, with the circuitry, the course of product production by controlling at least one of progress management, start control, and input control for one or more product being produced based on the predicted model number calculated that is allocated to the work-in-process.
