US 2009/0024239 A1 · Work management apparatus and work management method

Abstract

A work management apparatus of the present invention includes bar-code readers that detect the input and output of target objects to and from each facility in each facility, a process management device that obtains, as workpiece information, information of date and time when the target objects enter into each facility and information of date and time when the target objects come out from each facility for every target object and every facility based on the detection results of the bar-code readers, sensors that detect operating conditions of each facility, and an analysis device that analyzes and outputs the operating conditions of each facility and the work progress of the target objects in each facility based on the obtained workpiece information and the information indicating the detected operating conditions of each facility.
