US 7,801,634 B2 · Manufacturing management method, manufacturing management apparatus, and mounter

Abstract

A mounter for a manufacturing management method suppresses an occurrence of inventory shortage or excess inventory as much as possible, and provides energy savings when manufacturing is not performed at full capacity. A throughput determining step acquires manufacturing information included in a manufacturing plan while manufacturing equipment is manufacturing mounted boards and determines a throughput of the manufacturing equipment for the mounted boards based on the manufacturing information while the manufacturing equipment is manufacturing a sequence of the mounted boards. A manufacturing condition determining step determines a manufacturing condition for decreasing power consumption of the manufacturing equipment within a range of throughput not lower than the determined throughput in the case where the throughput determined in the throughput determining step is equal to or lower than a current throughput of the manufacturing equipment.

Dependent claims

A manufacturing management method for managing board manufacturing performed by a mounter which mounts a component onto a board, the method comprising:

a manufacturing information acquiring step of acquiring manufacturing information included in a manufacturing plan during a period when the mounter is mounting the component onto the board;
a throughput determining step of determining a throughput of the mounter for the board during the period when the mounter is mounting the component onto the board, based on the manufacturing information;
and
a manufacturing condition determining step of determining a manufacturing condition so that power consumption of the mounter decreases with a throughput within a range which is not lower than the throughput determined in said throughput determining step, when the determined throughput is lower than a current throughput of the mounter.

A manufacturing management apparatus which manages board manufacturing performed by a mounter which mounts a component onto a board, the apparatus comprising:

a manufacturing information acquiring unit operable to acquire manufacturing information included in a manufacturing plan during a period when the mounter is mounting the component onto the board;
a throughput determining unit operable to determine a throughput for the board during the period when the mounter is mounting the component onto the board, based on the manufacturing information;
and
a manufacturing condition determining unit operable to determine a manufacturing condition so that power consumption decreases within a range of the determined throughput, when said throughput determining unit determines to decrease the throughput.
