Information management system

An information management system for production management of products produced in multiple cooperating factories,

• each of the factories holding a manufacturing plan created based on a production management plan and a manufacturing achievement of the manufacturing plan, and including an existing manufacturing management system configured to independently manage plans and achievements of manufacturing in the factory,
• the information management system comprising:
• a storage apparatus configured to store, for each of the factories, a data model serving as a region for accumulating the plans and the achievements of manufacturing in the factory, the data model being a production instruction data model corresponding to the manufacturing plan;
• a data accumulation management apparatus configured to structure the plans and the achievements of manufacturing acquired thorough the manufacturing management systems in the factories into the production instruction data model according to a data structure definition template constituting of predetermined items and to accumulate the data model;
• and
• an information management apparatus configured to refer to the plans and the achievements of manufacturing in the cooperating factories from each of the data models in the factories.

An information management system for manufacturing management of products manufactured through multiple manufacturing processes,

• each of the manufacturing processes holding a manufacturing plan including a manufacturing schedule and a manufacturing instruction based on a production management plan and achievements of the manufacturing plan, and including an existing manufacturing management system configured to independently manage plans and achievements of manufacturing in the manufacturing process,
• the information management system comprising:
• a storage apparatus configured to store, for each of the manufacturing processes, data models serving as regions for accumulating the plans and the achievements of manufacturing, the data models including a production request data model corresponding to the production management plan and a production instruction data model corresponding to the manufacturing plan;
• a data accumulation management apparatus configured to structure the plans and the achievements of manufacturing acquired thorough the manufacturing management systems into the data models according to a data structure definition template constituting of predetermined items and to accumulate the data models;
• and
• an information management apparatus configured to refer to information about the plans and the achievements of manufacturing in at least one of the other manufacturing processes via the data models.
