Method of and apparatus for controlling production process

Abstract

A method of an apparatus for controlling production process which is capable of predetermining a standard production term of every process, of detecting an actual advance situation at a completion time of every process or every predetermined term, of collating the detected advance situation with the predetermined standard production term, and of detecting delay of production at every process over the standard production term. Thereby, a counterplan for recovering delay can be considered in its early stages, delay over the appointed date of delivery can be prevented before it happens, and actual results of orders in the future can be heightened. In addition, as the detection of the production delay is automatically carried out using computers or the like, the apparatus can contribute to reduction of labor.
