Description

  The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for issuing a delivery timing instruction card, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for issuing a more useful instruction card.

  Car assembly factories, engine factories, or automobile dealers that have received repair requests order parts and procure parts from parts manufacturers or in-house parts factories for production and repair. FIG. 4 shows a part manufacturer 20 that produces and delivers parts in accordance with delivery instructions, a dealer 2 that procures parts, a production factory 4 that assembles parts, etc. A parts shipping base 10 for instructing delivery of parts to the parts maker 20 in response to a part ordering request is shown. The flow of information is indicated by solid arrows, and the flow of objects is indicated by broken arrows. The parts shipping base 10 can also be a production factory that procures parts from the parts manufacturer 20 and supplies semi-finished products as parts to the store 2 or the like. The parts shipping base 10 issues parts delivery instructions to a plurality of parts manufacturers 20, but only one company is shown for convenience. An in-house parts factory may be used instead of the parts manufacturer 20.

  Hereinafter, the flow of processing from when a part ordering party places an order for a part to when the part can be procured will be described with reference to FIG.

  For example, in order to assemble products at the production factory 4, parts are ordered from the parts shipping base 10. When a part ordering content from a part ordering source is input, the part ordering device 12 at the part shipping base 10 specifies a part maker 20 as a part ordering destination based on the input data, and delivery instruction information for each part maker 20. Is generated. The delivery instruction information includes information such as the model number and quantity of the parts to be delivered, the delivery timing, and the like that can specify the goods to be produced and delivered and the delivery time of the goods. The generated delivery instruction information is transmitted as part ordering data to the corresponding parts maker 20 via the network.

  The parts ordering data transmitted by the parts shipping base 10 is received by the kanban issuing device 30 installed in the shipping place 22 of the parts manufacturer 20. When receiving the part ordering data, the kanban issuing device 30 issues a delivery timing instruction card generally called “takeover kanban” or simply “kanban” based on the part ordering data (delivery instruction information). In the kanban, the model number, quantity, delivery destination, etc. of the part are clearly specified, and the parts instructed to be delivered are produced on the production line 24 according to this kanban. In other words, Kanban moves with each part in the production line 24, such as gimmick, production, painting and rust prevention, together with the parts to be manufactured, but each worker is instructed with reference to the model number of the parts described in the Kanban. Parts are produced.

  The parts produced on the production line 24 are sent to the pick-up / shipping place of the shipping place 22 and are sent to the parts shipping base 10 at the delivery timing instructed by the delivery instruction information together with the Kanban that has moved together on the production line 24. . When the parts shipping base 10 accepts the parts and kanban produced and delivered as described above, the parts shipping base 10 delivers the parts to be ordered to the parts ordering source.

  In this way, in the parts shipping base 10 which is the subsequent process, the parts ordering data is transmitted to the kanban issuing apparatus 30 installed in the parts manufacturer 20 which is the previous process by the installed parts ordering apparatus 12. In the previous process, parts are produced by flowing the kanban issued by the kanban issuing device 30 through the production line 24, and the parts are shipped to the subsequent process together with the kanban. That is, in the pre-process, the kanban issued by the kanban issuing device 30 is used as a work instruction means to perform the collection work from the production line 24 and the shipment work to the post-process.

  By the way, the parts to be ordered can be roughly classified into part parts procured in large quantities at the production factory 4 and the like and supply parts procured for automobile repairs at the store 2. The parts corresponding to the supply parts are smaller in size than the number parts, and also include parts of the old model, so the number of parts (types) is enormous. For this reason, in the pre-process, the production of the supply parts is often started after receiving a delivery instruction from the post-process.

  However, in the case of replenishment parts, especially parts of the old model, many mistakes have occurred in that the type, color, processing method, packing method, etc. of the parts make mistakes in the production process and are erroneously shipped. In order to prevent this erroneous shipment, conventionally, before packing, a check album in which processing points etc. are described on the external view (photo) of each part is created, or this information is stored on a local terminal device. In some cases, a shipping inspection system managed as image data is used to confirm that the shipped product is not mistaken for a part designated by Kanban.

  However, even if it is possible to prevent erroneous shipment by inspection at the time of shipment, if the product is erroneously produced, the part is eventually wasted. If you install a terminal production instruction system and install a terminal device that displays part production instruction information on the production line, it will be possible to prevent this erroneous production more reliably. Considering space and system costs, it is not always possible to introduce a system.

  In addition, while the parts manufacturer that is the destination of the production instruction system has the above-mentioned problems, from the side of the system provider who intends to introduce the production instruction system to the parts manufacturer, that is, from the parts shipping base side, Since the scale, production form, handling parts, etc. of parts manufacturers differ, the load required for maintenance, maintenance, etc. of the production instruction system to be introduced is great.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to more reliably prevent erroneous production of a product when the product to be produced and delivered is instructed using a delivery timing instruction card. It is an object of the present invention to provide a delivery timing instruction card issuance method and apparatus that can be prevented.

To achieve the above object, delivery timing instruction card issuing method according to the present invention, the computer, in accordance with delivery instruction information issuing delivery timing instruction card information objects to be produced and delivered is recorded A receiving step in which the receiving unit of the computer receives the delivery instruction information, and an information generating unit of the computer generates the delivery timing instruction card information to be recorded in the issued delivery timing instruction card based on the delivery instruction information And a step of issuing a delivery timing instruction card in which the issuing unit of the computer records the delivery timing instruction card information, and whether the determination unit of the computer includes the production instruction information in the delivery timing instruction card information. a step of determining from the delivery instruction information, include production instruction information The acquisition unit of the computer further includes a step of acquiring production instruction information of the delivery based on the delivery identification information included in the delivery instruction information, and the acquired production instruction information is delivered to the delivery A delivery timing instruction card is issued by being included in the timing instruction card information.

A delivery timing instruction card issuance device according to the present invention is a device for issuing a delivery timing instruction card in which information on an object to be produced and delivered is recorded in accordance with the delivery instruction information.

  According to the present invention, not only the delivery instruction information but also the production instruction information can be recorded on the same delivery timing instruction card. It is also possible to give production instructions. As a result, it is possible to prevent erroneous production of an item to be delivered.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component as a prior art example.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram showing a system including a kanban issuing device as an embodiment of a delivery timing instruction card issuing device according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a part shipping base 10 for transmitting delivery instruction information as part ordering data to the parts maker 20 via the network 6 in response to a part ordering request from a dealer or the like (not shown). The parts manufacturer 20 that produces and delivers the parts to be delivered according to the delivery instruction information is shown. The parts shipping base 10 generates delivery instruction information in response to a part ordering request, transmits the parts ordering device 12 to the parts maker 20, and the production instruction for holding and managing the production instruction information of the parts to be delivered to the parts maker 20. An information management server 14 is installed. The production instruction information management server 14 is accessible via the network 6 and provides production instruction information upon request. The delivery instruction information includes information to specify the parts to be delivered and the delivery time of the parts, while the production instruction information includes details of processing such as cutting, specification of paint color, etc. Contains information about typical production instructions.

  The kanban issuing device 30 includes a delivery instruction information receiving unit 32 that receives delivery instruction information transmitted by the parts ordering device 12, a delivery instruction information storage unit 34 that stores the received delivery instruction information, and a part that has been instructed for delivery. A Kanban board based on a part type determination unit 36 that determines whether it is a mouth part or a supply part, a production instruction information acquisition unit 38 that acquires production instruction information of a supply part from the production instruction information management server 14, a delivery instruction information, and an acquired production instruction information A kanban information generating unit 40 for generating kanban information to be recorded in the kanban, and a kanban issuing unit 42 for issuing a kanban 50.

  The kanban issuing device 30 is a normal computer having input / output, calculation, storage, and control functions, and a description of pure hardware is omitted.

  The overall configuration including the component shipping base 10 and the component manufacturer 20 in the present embodiment may be the same as in FIG.

  Next, the kanban issuing method in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  For example, when a dealer wants to procure a part of an old model as a spare part, the spare part is ordered to the parts shipping base 10. When a part ordering content from a part ordering source is input, the part ordering device 12 in the part shipping base 10 specifies a part manufacturer 20 that is a part ordering destination based on the input data. This can be specified by referring to the production instruction information managed by the production instruction information management server 14 or the correspondence table (not shown) between the parts and the parts manufacturer as the supplier. Subsequently, the parts ordering device 12 generates delivery instruction information including the model number and quantity of parts to be delivered, delivery timing, and the like. At this time, the part ordering device 12 recognizes whether the part is a part number or a supplemental part based on production instruction information, a part master (not shown), or an indication from the dealer. If the part is a supply part, an additional instruction flag indicating that is set and included in the delivery instruction information. The parts ordering device 12 generates delivery instruction information for each part if there are a plurality of parts to be ordered from the dealer. The generated delivery instruction information is transmitted as part ordering data to the corresponding part maker 20 via the network 6.

  When the delivery instruction information transmitted from the parts ordering device 12 is received by the delivery instruction information receiving unit 32 (step 101), the kanban issuing device 30 at the parts shipping base 10 stores the delivery instruction information in the delivery instruction information storage unit 34. (Step 102). Subsequently, the part type determination unit 36 determines whether the part instructed to be delivered is a number part or a supply part by referring to the additional instruction flag included in the delivery instruction information (step 103). When the addition instruction flag is set, that is, when the delivery-instructed part is a supply part, the part type determination unit 36 instructs the production instruction information acquisition unit 38 to acquire production instruction information. In response to this instruction, the production instruction information acquisition unit 38 searches the production instruction information management server 14 using the part identification code included in the delivery instruction information as a key, and acquires the production instruction information of the part ( Step 104).

  Subsequently, the kanban information generation unit 40 generates kanban information to be recorded in the kanban 50 based on the delivery instruction information (step 105). At this time, the production instruction information acquisition unit 38 acquires the production instruction information of the part. If so, the acquired production instruction information is included in the kanban information. If the production instruction information has not been acquired because the delivery-instructed part is a front-end part, the kanban information not including the production instruction information is generated as in the conventional case. Then, the kanban issuing unit 42 issues the kanban 50 in which the kanban information generated by the kanban information generating unit 40 is recorded (step 106).

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a layout example of the kanban 50. In the kanban 50 issued by the kanban issuing apparatus 30 in the present embodiment, a delivery instruction information display area 52 and a production instruction information display area 54 are provided. In the delivery instruction information display area 52, delivery instruction information is displayed as in the conventional kanban. In this embodiment, the production instruction information display area 54 is further provided so that not only the delivery instruction information but also the production instruction information can be displayed on the same Kanban 50. It should be noted that the production instruction information display area 54 may be left blank or the delivery instruction information may be enlarged and displayed for a part with no production instruction information displayed. In the present embodiment, the delivery instruction information display area 52 is disposed above the kanban 50 and the production instruction information display area 54 is disposed below the kanban 50. The layout of the areas 52 and 54 in the kanban 50 is shown in FIG. It is not limited and may be determined in consideration of the usage pattern of the Kanban 50, the contents of each information, the amount of information, and the like.

  As described above, the kanban 50 issued by the kanban issuing device 30 is sent to the production line in the same manner as the conventional example, and is moved together with the parts for which production and delivery are instructed. In the production line, parts are produced with reference to kanbans, but unlike in the past, production instruction information on the parts is added to the kanban 50 for the supplementary parts. The instructed part can be produced with reference to the production instruction information of the supplemental part recorded in (1). For example, in the painting process, where the color to be painted has been selected with reference to the part model number, the production instruction, that is, the color to be painted, is clearly designated by the production instruction information. Can be painted with the correct color. In this embodiment, erroneous production can be prevented in this way.

  The parts produced as described above are sent to the pick-up / shipping place in the shipping place as before, and the parts shipping base at the delivery timing indicated by the delivery instruction information together with the Kanban 50 moved together on the production line. 10 is sent. When the parts shipping base 10 accepts the parts produced and delivered as described above and the kanban 50, the parts shipping base 10 delivers the parts to be ordered to the store that is the parts ordering source.

  According to the present embodiment, not only the delivery instruction information but also the production instruction information can be recorded on the same delivery timing instruction card. It is possible to give instructions for production as well as instructions for picking up and shipping goods. As a result, it is possible to prevent erroneous production of an item to be delivered.

  In the present embodiment, since the addition instruction flag is set in the part ordering apparatus 12 and the part type determination unit 36 determines whether the part instructed to be delivered is a front part or a supplemental part. Can be easily performed. However, it is not always necessary to use the additional instruction flag. For example, since the parts instructed to be delivered are parts handled by its own parts maker 20, whether the part instructed to be delivered from the parts shipping base 10 is a front part or a supply part is determined by the parts maker. It can be considered that each component manufacturer 20 can make a determination by searching a component master database held by the component 20. In such a case, the parts ordering device 12 does not need to include the additional instruction flag in the delivery instruction information. If the parts ordering device 12 does not execute the process of including the addition instruction flag for instructing the addition of the production instruction information in the delivery instruction information, the parts ordering device 12 can be realized with the same configuration as before.

  The present embodiment is characterized in that the production instruction information is displayed together with the delivery instruction information on the kanban 50, and the display / non-display of the production instruction information is performed depending on the type of parts, that is, the supply parts and the number. Changed according to parts. The reason why it is not displayed at the entrance part is because it is considered that the possibility of erroneous production is low even if it is not displayed because it is produced on a daily basis. Therefore, production instruction information may be acquired and displayed on the kanban 50 by an instruction from a worker or the like even in the case of a gate part. Furthermore, it is not necessary to limit the method of classifying the types of parts to supply parts and number parts, and it may be appropriately classified in consideration of the possibility of erroneous production.

  Here, the “delivery instruction information” and “production instruction information” included in the kanban 50 may be those that can be seen and understood by humans, such as letters, or those that cannot be understood unless read by a machine, such as barcodes. It suffices as long as information is included in the Kanban 50 to be issued.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the production instruction information management server 14 installed at the parts shipping base 10 is exemplified as the information storage device that stores the production instruction information of the supply parts. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the production factory 4 that orders parts has an information storage device that stores production instruction information, the information may be acquired from the information storage device. Alternatively, a production instruction information input unit may be provided in the component manufacturer 20 or the component shipping base 10.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an explanation has been given by taking an automobile part as an example of an article to be produced and delivered, but it is not necessarily limited to a part for an automobile. Moreover, it is not necessarily required to be a part, and it may be a finished product that starts production by ordering.
