DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for managing technical documents in a design engineering business, and more particularly to a document change history management apparatus for managing change history data such as a design drawing which emphasizes a change history. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when managing the change history of technical documents such as drawings, it is necessary to maintain the following documents in addition to the drawings to be changed. Issuance / change notice: Indicates what drawings were changed and when. Configuration history table: Indicates what changes have been made to a drawing group.

The issuance / change notice and the configuration history table have almost the same contents, but the issuance / change notification is generated each time a change event occurs. One is generated for each drawing group. For complex system products, one part may be manufactured using many documents.
A configuration history table is essential.

[0004]

As described above, when changing a technical document, two documents having substantially the same contents are created, so that it takes time to create the document. And other problems.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and a document change history management apparatus capable of automatically creating a "configuration history table" using data of a created "issue / change notice". Is to provide.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a document such as a design drawing is collected in order to achieve such an object .
This is a management device for creating and storing a document issuance / change notice, which is a unit of document issuance .
And notification forming unit having the Ku function, and mentioned FIG authorization portion having a function for generating trigger to create a configuration history table at the time of printing a document issued or change notification created by the notification forming unit, the component Create and memorize number-dependent information
And the component information generating unit having a placing function, upon receiving a trigger from the release of drawing approved part, part from the information created by the notice information entered by the creation unit and the component information creation unit
It is characterized by including a history table creation unit having a function of extracting information necessary for creating a configuration history table using a number as a key , and arbitrarily rearranging the information to create a configuration history table.

[0007]

The history table creator extracts necessary information from information on the document issuance / change notice created by the notice creator and information dependent on the parts created by the component information creator, and arbitrarily extracts it. And automatically create a configuration history table. The configuration history table does not need to be handled as a document, and is created each time it becomes necessary.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
FIG. 1 is a configuration block diagram showing one embodiment of a system for realizing a document change history management device according to the present invention. The document creation device 10 includes a key input unit and a display unit (both not shown), and a work including a notice creation unit 11, a release approval unit 12, a history table creation unit 13, and a component information creation unit 14. Station. Documents (also referred to as manufacturing standards) issued by the product design department to related departments such as the manufacturing department include the quality to be built into the product at the manufacturing stage, the manufacturing process and work methods and procedures, and the manufacturing know-how possessed by the design department. And technical matters to be communicated are described. In this embodiment, a description will be given of change history data management for such a document.

The notice creating section 11 sends a document issuance / change notice (which is an FZ2
Has been created and stored as follows . (1) A menu screen as shown in FIG. 2 is called up, and information is input to necessary items to create common information (header part) of FZ2. (2) Input data on a menu screen as shown in FIG. 3 and create a list of drawings to be output in FZ2.

The drawing approval unit 12 creates a configuration history table (referred to as FA1) for the history table creation unit 13 when the FZ2 created by the notice creation unit 11 is provisionally formalized (printing printing). It has a function to generate a trigger. History table creation unit 13
Has a function of extracting information necessary for creating a configuration history table from information input by the notice creating unit 11 in response to a trigger from the drawing approval unit 12, and generating a printed matter. The component information creating unit 14 has a function of creating information depending on a component number.

The operation in such a configuration will now be described. FIG. 4 shows a format example of the document issuance / change notice, and FIG. 5 shows a format example of the configuration history table. Fill in the document issuance and change notification in the notification forming unit 11, and to implement the provisional formalized in the release of drawing approval unit 12, the history list section 13 of the part number as a key FZ2 and parts information generating unit 1
Necessary items are extracted from the information created in step 4, and the information is appropriately rearranged to automatically generate a configuration history table as shown in FIG.

Table 1 shows the items of the main part and the entry method in FZ2, and Table 2 shows the items and the entry method of the main part in FA1. (Blank until next page)

[0013]

[0014]

The part information creating section 14 creates information depending on the part number. The information includes, for example, items shown in Table 3 below. (Blank until next page)

[0016]

The format of input information and output information in the device of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.
The information that depends on the drawing and the revision managed by the document creation device can be arbitrarily rearranged and provided. For example, the drawing list shown in FIG.
2 can be created on the basis of the information of (2).

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, by creating a document issuance / change notice, useful information represented by a configuration history table can be obtained in any format. The following effects are produced. Time for document creation can be reduced. Eliminate inconsistencies between documents. In addition, since data obtained by rearranging data in a document can be created at any time, the composition history table and the like are created each time without being treated as a document, so that the following effects are obtained. Eliminates time for document creation. The amount of documents to manage is reduced.
