Manufacturing management system, manufacturing management method, and recording medium storing programs for executing the method

A manufacturing management apparatus associated with an enterprise resource planning system for instructing a product manufacturing plan, comprising:

• a database configured to store information generated from the enterprise resource planning system;
• a label issuing device configured to issue to each part a bar code label concerning the each part based on storage information in the database;
• an executing device configured to read a bar code of a bar code label of each part that flows a manufacturing line, to store readout bar code data in the database;
• and
• a display device configured to generate manufacturing information in a manufacturing process based on information stored in the database, and displaying the manufacturing information as management action reference auxiliary information.

A manufacturing management method comprising:

• inputting manufacturing order data from an enterprise resource planning system for performing management concerning a manufacturing product quantity or a manufacturing process;
