Abstract

An apparatus for updating an operation plan of a high-temperature component based on operation performance. The apparatus includes: a display unit which displays an operation plan of multiple high-temperature components which are mounted upon a device; a storage unit which stores, for each device, at least initial setting data including information regarding operation start times of the high-temperature components and scheduled times for carrying out periodic inspections of the high-temperature components; an operation plan creation unit which, using the initial setting data, generates data of the operation plan including operation intervals of the high-temperature components from the operation start times to the scheduled times for carrying out the periodic inspections, and stores same in the storage unit for each device; and an operation plan update unit which updates the operation plan data which is displayed on the display unit, based on the high-temperature component operation performance information.

Claims

1. An operation plan creation device, comprising:

a display unit configured to display an operation plan for multiple high-temperature components mounted in devices;

a storage unit configured to store, for each of the devices, at least initial setting data which includes information regarding operation start times of the high-temperature components and scheduled times for carrying out periodic inspections of the high-temperature components;

an operation plan creation unit configured to, using the initial setting data, generate data of the operation plan including operation periods of the high-temperature components from the operation start times to the scheduled times for carrying out the periodic inspections, and store the data for each of the devices in the storage unit; and

an operation plan update unit configured to update the data of the operation plan displayed on the display unit, on the basis of information regarding operation performance of the high-temperature components.

2. The operation plan creation device according to claim 1, wherein the operation plan update unit is configured to acquire information for specifying execution times at which the periodic inspections are carried out, as the information regarding the operation performance of the high-temperature components, and update the data of the operation plan on the basis of the acquired information.

3. The operation plan creation device according to claim 2, wherein the operation plan update unit is configured to acquire each of information for specifying a quantity of the high-temperature components to undergo the periodic inspections, information for specifying treatment contents for the high-temperature components to undergo the periodic inspections, information for specifying an operation time for the high-temperature components to undergo the periodic inspections, and information for specifying a rotation destination for the high-temperature components to undergo the periodic inspections, in addition to the information for specifying the execution times at which the periodic inspections are carried out, as the information regarding the operation performance of the high-temperature components, and update the data of the operation plan on the basis of each of the acquired items of information.

4. The operation plan creation device according to claim 3, wherein the operation plan update unit is configured to aggregate for each of the treatment contents the information for specifying the quantity acquired as the information regarding the operation performance of the high-temperature components, and store the aggregated information for each of the devices in the storage unit.

5. An operation plan creation method executed by an operation plan creation device having a display unit, the method comprising the steps of:

reading initial setting data from a storage unit which stores, for each device in which multiple high-temperature components are mounted, at least the initial setting data which includes information regarding operation start times of the high-temperature components and scheduled times for carrying out periodic inspections of the high-temperature components, using the read initial setting data to generate data of the operation plan including operation periods of the high-temperature components from the operation start times to the scheduled times for carrying out the periodic inspections, and storing the data for each of the devices in the storage unit;

displaying the operation plan on the display unit; and

updating the data of the operation plan displayed on the display unit, on the basis of information regarding operation performance of the high-temperature components.

6. An operation plan creation program that causes an operation plan creation device having a display unit to execute the steps of:

reading initial setting data from a storage unit which stores, for each device in which multiple high-temperature components are mounted, at least the initial setting data which includes information regarding operation start times of the high-temperature components and scheduled times for carrying out periodic inspections of the high-temperature components, using the read initial setting data to generate data of the operation plan including operation periods of the high-temperature components from the operation start times to the scheduled times for carrying out the periodic inspections, and storing the data for each of the devices in the storage unit;

displaying the operation plan on the display unit; and

updating the data of the operation plan displayed on the display unit, on the basis of information regarding operation performance of the high-temperature components.
