Parts supply instruction apparatus

A parts supply instruction apparatus, comprising:

• a production schedule system for providing a parts supply schedule for an object assembly factory on the basis of a presumed car production schedule;
• a parts information system, provided at the assembly factory, for providing information about the consumption of parts at the assembly factory, the parts information system including a first sensor for detecting the consumption of parts at the assembly factory;
• an order issue managing system for scanning a parts master file to extract required data therefrom relating to parts to be ordered on the basis of information fed to the order issue managing system from the production schedule system and the parts information system, said order issue management system including:
• a common computer for controlling the production schedule system and the parts information system,
• a common parts master file standardized for the production schedule system and the parts information system, the common parts master file having a column in which an order type designation parameter corresponding to the production schedule system or the parts information system is stored for each entry, and
• a setting device for changing a present order type designation parameter to a different order type designation parameter, thereby changing a present parts supply system to another parts supply system corresponding to said different order type designation parameter;
• and
• a received order managing system, provided at an object parts supply factory, for receiving orders for parts issued by the order issue managing system and transmitted via a communication network and for printing out the required data relating to the ordered parts.

A parts supply instruction apparatus, comprising:

• a production schedule system for providing a parts supply schedule for an object assembly factory on the basis of a presumed car production schedule;
• a car information system, provided at the assembly factory, for providing information about each car brought onto an assembly line of the assembly factory, the car information system including a second sensor for detecting the type of car passing the second sensor;
• an order issue managing system for scanning a parts master file to extract required data therefrom relating to parts to be ordered on the basis of information fed to the order issue managing system from the production schedule system and the car information system, said order issue management system including:
• a common computer for controlling the production schedule system and the car information system,
