Abstract

A production sequence determination support method is provided in which a computer is caused to perform determining types of specifications of the plurality of first products, displaying a screen for a user to specify individual priorities for the types of specifications, each of the priorities of the types of specifications being to produce one or more of the plurality of first products having the type of specifications, storing the priorities of the types of specifications specified by the user, determining the production sequence of the plurality of first products by sorting the plurality of first products in descending order of the priorities of the types of specifications thus stored, and displaying the production sequence of the plurality of first products thus determined.

Claims

1. A production sequence determination support method for determining a production sequence of a plurality of first products to be produced, the production sequence determination support method comprising:

causing a computer to perform

determining types of specifications of the plurality of first products,

displaying a screen for a user to specify individual priorities for the types of specifications, each of the priorities of the types of specifications being to produce one or more of the plurality of first products having the type of specifications,

storing the priorities of the types of specifications specified by the user,

determining the production sequence of the plurality of first products by sorting the plurality of first products in descending order of the priorities of the types of specifications thus stored, and

displaying the production sequence of the plurality of first products thus determined.

2. The production sequence determination support method according to claim 1, wherein the computer is caused to perform

determining types of specifications of a plurality of second products to be produced in a period different from a period in which the plurality of first products are to be produced,

determining a provisional production sequence of the plurality of second products by sorting the plurality of second products in descending order of the priorities of the types of specifications that have been previously stored, and at the end, by arranging the plurality of second products that do not fall within any of the types of specifications,

displaying the provisional production sequence of the plurality of second products thus determined to allow the user to specify an actual production sequence of the plurality of second products,

displaying the actual production sequence, specified by the user, of the plurality of second products, and

updating the priorities of the types of specifications that have been previously stored based on the actual production sequence, specified by the user, of the plurality of second products.

3. A production sequence determination support device for determining a production sequence of a plurality of products to be produced, the production sequence determination support device comprising:

a type determination section that determines types of specifications of the plurality of products;

a specification screen display that displays a screen for a user to specify individual priorities for the types of specifications, each of the priorities of the types of specifications being to produce one or more of the plurality of products having the type of specifications;

a priority storage that stores the priorities of the types of specifications specified by the user;

a production sequence determination section that determines the production sequence of the plurality of products by sorting the plurality of products in descending order of the priorities of the types of specifications stored in the priority storage; and

a production sequence display that displays the production sequence of the plurality of products thus determined.

4. A computer-readable storage medium storing thereon a computer program for controlling a computer performing a process for determining a production sequence of a plurality of products to be produced, the computer program causing the computer to perform:

determining types of specifications of the plurality of products;

displaying a screen for a user to specify individual priorities for the types of specifications, each of the priorities of the types of specifications being to produce one or more of the plurality of products having the type of specifications;

storing the priorities of the types of specifications specified by the user;

determining the production sequence of the plurality of products by sorting the plurality of products in descending order of the priorities of the types of specifications thus stored; and

displaying the production sequence of the plurality of products thus determined.
