[0045] The device information input unit 13 of the client computer 11 receives the input of the information of the existing devices in the electronic device manufacturing enterprise 10, that is, the device information, and sends it to the device information acquisition unit 22 of the server computer 21. The device information acquisition unit 22 receives the device information from the device information input unit 13 and stores it in the storage unit 28.

[0046] In the present invention, the device refers not only to the main body of the mounting device 3 installed in the building of the electronic device manufacturing enterprise 10, but also to all the hardware resources including the accessories, consumables, etc. used in the mounting device 3. As accessories, the belt feeder 33F, the suction nozzle 34, the mounting head 35, and the tray feeder are exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As consumables, the conveyor belt 32B is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As device information, the case where the model and quantity of the device are included is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For a device, if the model is determined, the size, etc. are uniquely determined.

[0047] In addition, in the case where the device information has already been stored in the storage unit 28 of the server computer 21, the device information input unit 13 can omit the reception and transmission of the input of the device information, and the device information acquisition unit 22 can omit the reception and storage of the device information.

[0051] The production program generation unit 24 of the server computer 21 generates one or more production programs based on the specifications of the electronic devices stored in the storage unit 28. The production program generation unit 24 can be implemented by an existing production program generation program.

[0052] As one or more production programs generated by the production program generation unit 24, for example, the case where any one of the following first production program to third production program is included is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0053] First, the production program generation unit 24 can generate a first production program that can be executed using only the existing equipment on the production line 6. At this time, when production can be completed only by the production line 6, the production program generation unit 24 can calculate the first production prediction time of the production carried out by executing the first production program. On the other hand, when production cannot be completed only by the production line 6 due to insufficient equipment, the production program generation unit 24 can calculate the first production prediction time including the installation prediction time on the production line 6 based on the execution of the first production program and the operation prediction time of manual installation outside the production line 6. Since this first production program does not require additional equipment, it is a cost-priority production program.

[0054] Second, the production program generation unit 24 can generate a second production program that can complete production only by the production line 6 by adding equipment to the production line 6. In addition, the production program generation unit 24 can calculate the second production prediction time of the production carried out by executing the second production program. In addition, the production program generation unit 24 can calculate the rental cost of the insufficient equipment. In addition, the production program generation unit 24 can calculate the availability or existing rental inventory of the rental of the insufficient equipment. This second production program is a production program that prioritizes production efficiency and also takes cost priority into account.

[0055] Third, the production program generation unit 24 can generate a third production program (which may be the same as the second production program) that can complete production only by the production line 6 by adding equipment to the production line 6. In addition, the production program generation unit 24 can calculate the third production prediction time of the production carried out by executing the third production program (which may be the same as the second production prediction time). In addition, the production program generation unit 24 can calculate the sales cost of the insufficient equipment. In addition, the production program generation unit 24 can calculate the availability or existing sales inventory of the sale of the insufficient equipment. This third production program is a production program that prioritizes production efficiency.

[0056] The production program information sending unit 25 of the server computer 21 sends production program information related to one or more production programs to the production program selection information input unit 15 of the client computer 11.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0058] The production program selection information input unit 15 of the client computer 11 displays production program information and prompts the selection of one of one or more production programs. Specifically, the production program selection information input unit 15 displays the information of the first production program and the information of the first production prediction time, the information of the second production program, the information of the second production prediction time, and the availability of leasing of insufficient equipment, the existing inventory and leasing cost information, the information of the third production program, the information of the third production prediction time, and the availability of purchasing of insufficient equipment, the existing inventory and purchasing cost information within the Web browser 12, and prompts the user to select one of the first production program to the third production program. In addition, the production program selection information input unit 15 prompts the user to order insufficient equipment.

[0059] The production program selection information input unit 15 of the client computer 11 accepts the input of production program selection information for selecting one of one or more production programs and sends it to the production program sending unit 26 of the server computer 21.

[0060] After receiving the production program selection information, the production program sending unit 26 of the server computer 21 sends the selected production program to the production program acquisition unit 16 of the client computer 11. The production program acquisition unit 16 receives the selected production program from the production program sending unit 26 and stores it in the storage unit 18. The production program stored in the storage unit 18 is sent to the installation device 3 for execution.

[0061] The equipment order information input unit 17 of the client computer 11 accepts the input of order information for ordering (leasing or purchasing) insufficient equipment that is prompted together with the display of production program information and sends it to the equipment order information acquisition unit 27 of the server computer 21. The equipment order information acquisition unit 27 acquires the order information from the equipment order information input unit 17 and stores it in the storage unit 28, and also sends it to the computer 41 of the warehouse 40. After receiving the order information, the computer 41 makes arrangements for the forklift truck T to deliver the ordered equipment.

The electronic device specification acquisition unit 23 of the server computer 21 receives the specifications of the electronic devices from the electronic device specification input unit 14 and stores them in the storage unit 28.

[0065] The production program generation unit 24 of the server computer 21 generates one or more production programs based on the specifications of the electronic devices stored in the storage unit 28 (step S3).

[0066] The production program information sending unit 25 of the server computer 21 sends production program information related to one or more production programs to the production program selection information input unit 15 of the client computer 11 (step S4). The production program selection information input unit 15 of the client computer 11 displays the production program information and prompts the selection of one of the one or more production programs.

[0067] The production program selection information input unit 15 of the client computer 11 accepts the input of production program selection information for selecting one of the one or more production programs and sends it to the production program sending unit 26 of the server computer 21 (step S5).

[0068] After receiving the production program selection information, the production program sending unit 26 of the server computer 21 sends the selected production program to the production program acquisition unit 16 of the client computer 11 (step S6). The production program acquisition unit 16 receives the selected production program from the production program sending unit 26 and stores it in the storage unit 18.

[0070] The device order information acquisition unit 27 of the server computer 21 obtains the order information from the device order information input unit 17 of the client computer 11, stores it in the storage unit 28, and sends it to the computer 41 of the warehouse 40 (step S8).

[0071] After receiving the order information, the computer 41 makes arrangements for the forklift truck T to deliver the ordered devices (step S9).

[0072] (Computer system)

[0073] Figure 5It is a block diagram of a computer system showing an embodiment. The above-mentioned client computer 11, server computer 21, and computer 41 each include a computer system 1000. The computer system 1000 has: a processor 1001 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit); a main memory 1002 including a non-volatile memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a volatile memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory); a memory 1003; and an interface 1004 including an input / output circuit. The functions of the client computer 11, server computer 21, and computer 41 are stored as programs in the memory 1003. The processor 1001 reads the program from the memory 1003 and expands it in the main memory 1002, and executes the above processing according to the program.

[0075] (Effect)

[0076] As described above, a production program is generated in the server computer 21 and sent to the client computer 11. Since it is not necessary to import a production program generation program into the client computer 11, cost efficiency can be achieved.

[0077] A first production program that can be executed only using the existing devices on the production line 6, a second production program that can complete production only through the production line 6 by adding devices to the production line 6, and a third production program are generated in the server computer 21 and sent to the client computer 11. The user can select a production program considering the cost, so cost efficiency can be achieved.

[0078] The information of the insufficient devices is sent from the server computer 21 to the client computer 11 and displayed. Since the user can easily grasp the insufficient devices, work efficiency can be achieved.

[0079] Order information for ordering (leasing or purchasing) the insufficient devices is sent from the client computer 11 to the server computer 21. Since a one-stop service from the generation of the production program to the ordering of the devices can be achieved, efficiency can be achieved in terms of convenience.

[0080] (Other Embodiments)

[0081] The client computer 11 can also accept the input of the actual time when it is actually put into production for the production prediction time and send it to the server computer 21. The server computer 21 stores the production prediction time and the actual time, and uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to achieve the generation of a more efficient production program and the calculation of a production prediction time with higher accuracy.
