At this time, the relationship identifying unit 110 collates the information “part A” included in the information on the changed part with the product configuration table 125 to identify a product or other part associated with the part A, This is stored in the memory 103 (s101). For example, it is assumed that the part A is associated as a part constituting the semi-finished product D of the product C in the product configuration table 125. In this case, the products or other parts associated with the part A are “product C” and “semi-product D”.

  Subsequently, the influence specifying unit 111 of the design department terminal 100 reads and acquires information on the product or other parts specified in the step s101 from the memory 103 (s102). Alternatively, information on the manufacturing process of the product or other parts is received and acquired from the input interface 105. In the above example, information such as “product C” and “semi-finished product D” and information such as “electronic component soldering process on the upper surface of the substrate” are acquired.

  Then, the influence identifying unit 111 collates the information on the product or other parts or the information on the manufacturing process acquired in this way with the specific subsidiary material table 127 (s103). If the use of a specific secondary material is set for a part or manufacturing process subject to design change, in the collating process in this step s103, there is an application relationship to the product or other part or manufacturing process. Since a certain secondary material is identified (s103: YES), the influence identifying unit 111 stores information on this secondary material in the memory 103 (s104).

  That is, when the part A to be changed by design change is attached to the semi-finished product D or used as a target of the “electronic component soldering process to the upper surface of the board”, use is designated, for example, “ In step s103, it is found that a specific auxiliary material such as “solder F” exists. In other words, since it can be said that care should be taken when changing the part A to another part by a design change, the part B (part after the design change) is the part A (the part before the design change). It is necessary to confirm in the manufacturing department whether the specified sub-material can be applied in the same manner as in the case of applying to a component.

  On the other hand, if the use of a specific secondary material is not set for the part or manufacturing process that is the subject of the design change, in the collating process in step s103, the application relation to the product or other parts or the manufacturing process. No secondary material is identified (s103: NO), and the impact identification unit 111 reads the information of the product or other part identified in step s101 from the memory 103, collates with the configuration definition table 126, and identifies A secondary material (for example, cleaning agent G) that has an application relationship with the product or other parts is specified and stored in the memory 103 (s105).

  Next, the component alert processing unit 113 of the design department terminal 100 collates the information on the changed component obtained in the step s100 with the component master table 128, and the changed component (in the above example, after the design change). Information on environmentally hazardous substances contained in the component B) is read (s106). Then, the component alert processing unit 113 adds the amount of environmental load contained in the component B as the changed component and the amount of environmental load contained in other components other than the changed component constituting the product C (s107). . This total value is the amount of environmentally hazardous substances that the product C can contain. The information on the amount of environmental load contained in other parts constituting the product C is also summed by reading the information on the amount of environmental load substance from the parts master table 128 by the parts alert processing unit 113 for the other parts. Shall.

  The component alert processing unit 113 compares the environmental load substance amount related to the product C calculated in this way with a reference value of the environmental load substance quantity stored in advance in the memory 103, for example (s108). In this comparison processing, when the amount of environmentally hazardous substance in the product C is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value (s108: NG), a reconsideration instruction (for example, hard disk drive) that the component change from the component A to the component B should be reconsidered The message data stored in advance 101 is output to the output interface 106 (s109), and the process returns to step s100. Here, the person in charge of the design department can recognize the risk of changing the part A to the part B by browsing the reconsideration instruction on a display device or the like.

  On the other hand, when the amount of environmentally hazardous substance in the product C is equal to or less than a predetermined reference value in the comparison process in step s108 (s108: OK), the design change notification unit 112 of the design department terminal 100 performs steps s103 and s105. The information on the secondary material (in the above example, solder F and cleaning agent G) identified in (1) is read from the memory 103, and the information on the secondary material and the changed part (in the above example, before change: Part A, after change) : Design change notification including part B) is transmitted to the manufacturing department terminal 200 (s110). The design change notification unit 112 obtains information on the amount of environmental load contained in the changed part from the component alert processing unit 113, and includes the information on the amount of environmental load contained in the design change notification in the manufacturing department. It may be transmitted to the terminal 200.

  The manufacturing department terminal 200 receives the design change notification transmitted from the design department terminal 100 and displays it on the output interface 206 (s111). The person in charge of the manufacturing department browses the design change notification displayed on the manufacturing department terminal 200, and the design change information on the part A of the product C in the design department terminal 100 of the design department, It is possible to recognize the information of the auxiliary material set for the part A.

  Further, the person in charge of the manufacturing department changes the design of the part A to the part B, and applies to the part A (part after the design change) to the part A (part before the design change). In addition, it is possible to confirm whether the secondary material used in the part A can be applied. If there is a problem with the application of the secondary material for part A to the part B, an appropriate secondary material to be applied to the part B is searched and selected from the specific secondary material table 226 and the secondary material master table 227. Then, an instruction to set an appropriate secondary material X related to the part B is input from the input interface 205 of the manufacturing department terminal 200. The manufacturing department terminal 200 receives the setting instruction (s112), associates it with the part B (part of the product C) in the configuration definition table 225, and sets the sub-material X (s113). . Further, the manufacturing department terminal 200 transmits an instruction to set the secondary material X for the part B of the product C to the design department terminal 100 (s114).

  The design department terminal 100 receives the instruction and sets the auxiliary material X for the part B of the product C in the configuration definition table 126 (s115).

  When the design change is made at the design department terminal 100 as in the flow example 1 described above, the target parts and the target secondary materials are identified, and the facts and validity of the design change are determined after determining the environmental load standards and the like. Can be notified to the manufacturing department terminal 200. The manufacturing department terminal 200 can receive and output such a notification, and can provide a judgment material regarding the use of the secondary material to the person in charge of the manufacturing department. In addition, the determination result of the person in charge can be acquired from the input interface, and the table can be updated based on the new correspondence between the parts and the auxiliary materials, and the design department terminal 100 can be notified.

--- Processing flow example 2 ---
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a processing procedure example 2 of the design / manufacturing management method of the present embodiment. In the flow example 1 described above, the situation in which the design change is made at the design department terminal 100 has been described, but here, the persons in charge of the production department perform the change setting of the auxiliary material at the manufacturing department terminal 200. Assume the situation. Therefore, for example, the component specifying unit 210 of the manufacturing department terminal 200 receives a change instruction from the sub-material U to the sub-material V from the input interface 205, and information on the changed sub-material included in the change instruction (sub-material U: The secondary material before change) is collated with the configuration definition table 225 (s200).

  Then, the product or other part to which the application of the changed secondary material is associated is specified and stored in the memory 203 (s201). Here, for example, in the configuration definition table 225, if the subsidiary material U is set for the part T of the product S, the part specifying unit 210 obtains information on the product S and part T, and obtains these information. It will be stored in the memory 103.

  In addition, the component identification unit 210 of the manufacturing department terminal 200 collates information on the changed secondary material included in the change instruction with the specific secondary material table 226 (s202), and the change is made in the specific secondary material table 226. Any one of the product associated with the secondary material, the parts constituting the product, and the manufacturing process is specified and stored in the memory 203 (s203). Here, it is determined whether the secondary material to be changed is a specific secondary material associated with a specific product, part, manufacturing process, or the like.

  On the other hand, the subsidiary material alert processing unit 212 of the manufacturing department terminal 200 reads information on environmentally hazardous substances included in the modified subsidiary material from the subsidiary material master table 227 (s204), and the amount of environmentally hazardous substances included in the modified subsidiary material. And the amount of environmentally hazardous substances contained in the parts constituting the product are added together (s205). If the sum is greater than or equal to the predetermined reference value (s206: NG), a secondary material change reconsideration instruction is output to the output interface 206 (s207).

  On the other hand, when the total value is equal to or less than the predetermined reference value (s206: OK), the material change notification unit 211 is information on any of the products, other parts, and manufacturing processes stored in the memory 203 in step s203. Is transmitted to the design department terminal 100 (s208), and a secondary material change notification including any information on the product, other parts and manufacturing process, and information on the changed secondary material is transmitted. The material change notification unit 211 obtains information on the amount of environmentally hazardous substance contained in the changed secondary material from the secondary material alert processing unit 212, and includes the information on the amount of environmentally hazardous substance in the secondary material change notification. It may be transmitted to the design department terminal 100.

  The design department terminal 100 receives this notification, and the manufacturing department terminal 200 displays on the output interface 106 information regarding the change from the secondary material U to the secondary material V regarding the part T of the product S (s209). For viewing. Further, with the change of the secondary material, the secondary material related to the part T of the product S in the configuration definition table 126 is reset to the secondary material V (s210).

  As in the above flow example 2, when the subsidiary material is changed at the manufacturing department terminal 200, the fact that the subsidiary material is changed after the target subsidiary material and the target part are identified and the environmental load standard is determined. The design department terminal 100 can be notified of validity. The design department terminal 100 can receive and output such notifications, provide information to the person in charge of the design department, and update the table based on new correspondence between parts and sub-materials.

--- Processing flow example 3 ---
Further, when the information on the amount of environmentally hazardous substance of the secondary material is included in the secondary material change notification, the design department terminal 100 may execute the flow shown in FIG. In this case, in the design department terminal 100 that has received the secondary material change notification, the component alert processing unit 113 reads out information on the environmental load substance amount of the changed secondary material from the secondary material change notification (s300). The alert processing unit 113 includes the amount of environmental load contained in the changed part, the amount of environmental load contained in other parts other than the changed part constituting the product, and the amount of environmental load contained in the changed sub-material. Add together (s301). The method of summing processing is the same as in the above flow example 1 and the like. In addition, the alert processing unit 113 compares the sum value with a predetermined reference value (s302), and if the sum value is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference value (s302: NG), a reconsideration instruction for sub-material change is given. The data is transmitted to the manufacturing department terminal 200 (s303). On the other hand, if the sum is less than or equal to the predetermined reference value in step s302 (s302: OK), the configuration definition table 126 is updated for the changed secondary material (s304), and the process is terminated.

  Similarly, when the design change notification includes information on the amount of environmentally hazardous substance of the changed part, the manufacturing department terminal 200 may execute the flow shown in FIG. In this case, in the manufacturing department terminal 200 that has received the design change notification, the secondary material alert processing unit 212 reads out information on the environmental load substance amount of the changed part from the design change notification (s310).

  Then, the auxiliary material alert processing unit 212 adds up the amount of environmental load substance included in the changed auxiliary material, the amount of environmental load substance included in the part constituting the product, and the amount of environmental load substance of the changed part ( s311). Further, the total value is compared with a predetermined reference value (s312), and if the total value is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference value (s312: NG), a part change reconsideration instruction is transmitted to the design department terminal 100 (s313). ). On the other hand, if the sum is less than or equal to the predetermined reference value in step s312 (s312: OK), the configuration definition table 225 is updated for the changed secondary material (s314), and the process ends.
