Production management system, production management method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A production management method comprising:

• acquiring operational data regarding a production element produced in a target production process, wherein the target production process is one of a plurality of production processes for producing a product;
• acquiring feedback data for evaluating the production element in the target production process on a basis of quality of a downstream product from a downstream production process, wherein the downstream production process is downstream from the target production process, wherein the feedback data is quality data indicating quality of a target product which is a product of the target production process, wherein the feedback data is output from a downstream production management system that manages the downstream production process, and wherein the downstream production process produces the downstream product using the target product as an input material to the downstream production process;
• analyzing the operational data and the feedback data to generate an analysis result;
• determining control information for controlling the target production process on a basis of the analysis result;
• and
• controlling the production element in the target production process on a basis of the control information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a production management program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to function as:

• an operational data acquisition unit configured to acquire operational data regarding a production element produced in a target production process, wherein the target production process is one of a plurality of production processes for producing a product;
• a quality data acquisition unit configured to acquire feedback data for evaluating the production element in the target production process on a basis of quality of a downstream product from a downstream production process, wherein the downstream production process is downstream from the target production process, wherein the feedback data is quality data indicating quality of a target product which is a product of the target production process, wherein the feedback data is output from a downstream production management system that manages the downstream production process, and wherein the downstream production process produces the downstream product using the target product as an input material to the downstream production process;
• an analysis unit configured to analyze the operational data and the feedback data to generate an analysis result;
• a control information decision unit configured to determine control information for controlling the target production process on a basis of the analysis result;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the production element in the target production process on a basis of the control information.
