Abstract

A method for managing a product manufacturing process is disclosed. The method includes the steps of downloading a bill of materials of the product from a first database according to a serial number and an edition of the product; downloading a production order from a second database according to the production order number; downloading received materials delivery receipts from the second database according to corresponding numbers of the received materials delivery receipts; obtaining product information and manufacturing information of downloaded production order; obtaining serial numbers and editions of corresponding materials; obtaining received materials information from the downloaded received materials delivery receipts; creating a manufacturing check list according to obtained information; and saving the manufacturing check list in the application server, and creating a serial number of the manufacturing check list; assigning one or more preconfigured product tracking numbers to the manufacturing check list.

Claims

1. A system for managing a product manufacturing process comprising a first database, a second database, and an application server electronically connected with the first database and the second database via a network, the application server comprising:

a downloading module for downloading a bill of materials of the product from the first database according to a serial number and an edition of the product and saving the downloaded bill of materials, downloading a production order of the product from the second database according to a corresponding production order number and saving the downloaded production order, and downloading received materials delivery receipts from the second database according to corresponding numbers of the received materials delivery receipts and saving the downloaded received materials delivery receipts;

an obtaining module for obtaining product information from the downloaded production order, obtaining manufacturing information from the downloaded production order, obtaining serial numbers and editions of corresponding materials used in manufacturing the product from the downloaded bill of materials, and obtaining received materials information from the downloaded received materials delivery receipts;

a creating module for creating a manufacturing check list according to the above obtained information;

a saving module for saving the manufacturing check list in the application server, and creating a serial number of the manufacturing check list; and

an assigning module for assigning one or more preconfigured product tracking numbers stored in the application server to the manufacturing check list.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the application server further comprises:

an inputting module for inputting information of related check operators and information of related approve operators to the manufacturing check list.

3. A computer-based method for managing a product manufacturing process, the method comprising:

downloading a bill of materials of the product from a first database according to a serial number and an edition of the product, and saving the downloaded bill of materials in an application server;

downloading a production order of the product from a second database according to a corresponding production order number, and saving the downloaded production order in the application server;

downloading received materials delivery receipts from the second database according to corresponding numbers of the received materials delivery receipts, and saving the downloaded received materials delivery receipts in the application server;

obtaining product information from the downloaded production order;

obtaining manufacturing information from the downloaded production order;

obtaining serial numbers and editions of corresponding materials used in manufacturing the product from the downloaded bill of materials;

obtaining received materials information from the downloaded received materials delivery receipts;

creating a manufacturing check list according to the above obtained information; and

saving the manufacturing check list in the application server, and creating a serial number of the manufacturing check list; and

assigning one or more preconfigured product tracking numbers stored in the application server to the manufacturing check list.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, further comprising:

inputting information of related check operators and information of related approve operators to the manufacturing check list.
