Method and system for making production plan

A method for making a production plan, used for connecting a manufacturer to a system for making a production plan through a network, wherein the system constructs a production plan according to a product request from a client for allowing the manufacturer to acquire latest conditions in product manufacture and exportation, and includes a stock database for storing raw material data, a request database for storing data relating to the product request from the client, a production plan database for storing data relating to the production plan, and an export database for storing data relating to the product exportation, wherein the system for making a production plan analyzes and assigns product items in the product request with respective model categories and provides the model categories each with an identification number corresponding to a product request containing the model category, so as to construct the production plan according to the model categories and store the production plan in the production plan database;

• the method for making a production plan comprising the steps of
• (1) analyzing via the system for making a production plan product items possibly requested from the client, so as to allow a purchase unit of the manufacturer to purchase in advance raw materials for the product items according to the raw material data stored in the stock database;
• (2) determining via the system for making a production plan if a product request is received from the client, wherein if the product request is received, then step (3) is followed;
• if no product request is received, then the step (2) is followed;
• (3) determining via the system for making a production plan if a constructed production plan with incomplete product manufacture is present in the product plan database, wherein if it is, then step (4) is followed;
• or else, product items in the received product request are analyzed and assigned with respective model categories, which are each provided with an identification number corresponding to a product request containing the model category and are used for constructing a production plan to be stored in the production plan database;
• and then performing step (9);
• (4) analyzing via the system for making a production plan product delivery time and model categories for products requested by the client in the constructed production plan in the production plan database, and determining if any model category in the constructed production plan is identical to that in the received product request, wherein if at least one model category is identical, then step (5) is followed, or else step (6) is followed;
• (5) determining via the system for making a production plan if necessary to rapidly complete product manufacture for the received product request, wherein if the rapid product manufacture is necessary, then step (7) if followed, or else step (8) is followed;
• (6) providing via the system for making a production plan the model categories of the product items in the received product request with respective identification numbers corresponding to product request containing the model categories, and constructing a new production plan according to the model categories and the product delivery time, so as to store the new production plan in the production plan database;
• and then performing step (9);
• (7) incorporating via the system for making a production plan the identical model category in the constructed production plan with that in the received product request, so as to change product quantity of the model category in the pre-constructed production plan, and to record a new identification number in the model category;
• and then performing step (9);
• (8) adjusting flexibly via the system for making a production plan an identification number of the identical product category in the constructed production plan for assigning the adjusted identification number to the received product request, so as to construct a new production plan and correct the constructed production plan;
• and then performing step (9);
• (9) reading the production plan stored in the production plan database via a manufacture unit of the manufacturer for performing a process for manufacturing products, and storing data relating to the process in the production plan database;
• (10) determining via the system for making a production plan if a message for completing the manufacturing process is received from the manufacture unit, wherein if the message is received then step (11) is followed;
• if no message is received, then the step (10) is followed;
• and
• (11) searching for corresponding product requests in the production plan database via the system for making a production plan according to identification numbers of the manufactured products, and processing the products for assemblage, packaging and exportation according to the corresponding product requests.

A system for making a production plan, used for constructing a production plan according to a product request from a client for allowing the manufacturer to acquire latest conditions in product manufacture and exportation, wherein each product item is pre-assigned with a model category, so as to determine model categories for product items in the product request and provide each of the model categories in the product request with an identification number;

• the system for making a production plan comprising:
• a stock database for storing raw material data which are used for a purchase unit of the manufacturer to determine if to purchase in advance raw materials for subsequent use in product manufacture;
• a request database for storing data relating to the product request from the client, wherein the product request is provided with an unique order number;
• a production plan database for storing data relating to the production plan, wherein the production plan allows a manufacture unit and a sale unit of the manufacturer to acquire latest conditions in manufacture, and has model categories each including a plurality of identification numbers, which each is used to identify a product request to which the model category belongs and corresponds to the order number of the belonged product request;
• a planning module for constructing a new production plan according to a newly stored product request in the request database, wherein model categories are determined for product items in the newly stored product request so as to assign each of the model categories with an unique identification number corresponding to a product request containing the model category;
• it is determined if a constructed production plan with incomplete product manufacture is present in the production plan database, if no constructed production plan is present, a new production plan is constructed according to the newly stored product request, if the constructed production plan is present, the constructed production plan is compared with the newly stored product request for an identical model category, if no identical model category is present, the planning module constructs a new production plan according to the model categories of the product items in the newly stored product request and stores the production plan in the production plan database;
• if the identical model category is present, the planning module determines if necessary to rapidly complete product manufacture for the newly stored product request, if the rapid product manufacture is necessary, the planning module flexibly adjusts an identification number of the identical model category in the constructed production plan and assigns the adjusted identification number to the newly stored product request, so as to construct a new production plan and correct the constructed production plan;
• if the rapid product manufacture is not necessary for the newly stored product request, the planning module incorporates the identical model category in the constructed production plan with that in the newly stored product request, so as to change product quantity for the model category in the constructed production plan and record a new identification number in the model category as well as store the changed production plan in the production plan database;
• an integrating module for determining conditions in manufacture according to production plans in the production plan database, wherein if the manufacture unit transfers a message for completely manufacturing products, the integrating module searches corresponding order numbers of product requests according to identification numbers for the manufactured products, so as to process the manufactured products for assemblage, packaging and exportation according to the product requests;
• and
• an export database for storing data relating to a product export sheet, which is constructed by integrating the identification numbers corresponding to the order numbers of the product requests from the integrating module.
