[0019] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0020] [1. Overview] First, an overview of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a material use check process in this embodiment.

[0021] In response to quality fraud issues in the steel industry and other sectors, processing manufacturers are being asked to implement thorough quality control.

[0022] Traditionally, material component properties (e.g., component values ​​other than Fe) and the mechanical properties of processed products (e.g., tensile strength, hardness, etc.) have been checked to ensure they meet customer specifications. For convenience, these checks were conducted at the time of shipment using inspection reports (mill sheets). Therefore, in the past, if a product failed due to a material issue, problems such as delivery delays and production losses due to remanufacturing occurred due to the timing of the checks. Furthermore, while checking whether the finished product met customer requirements at the time of shipment helped prevent problems due to incorrect shipments, it was necessary to select or manufacture inventory that met the requirements.

[0023] Therefore, in this embodiment, unlike conventional methods, the object of judgment is the material that constitutes the finished product, and the timing of judgment is at the time of processing instruction, and a mechanism is provided to check whether the material to be used at the time of processing instruction meets the component performance specifications required by the customer.

[0024] That is, in this embodiment, an inspection item master is created in which inspection items can be registered, a check category of whether or not to check material components is set in the specification master for each product (material), a material component input function and a material component import function are created in which material inspection data can be registered, a customer component standard master is created in which inspection standards (upper limit, lower limit) can be registered for each customer, destination, product, and inspection item, and when material data is entered in the delivery details of processing instruction input and when a slip is registered, the material component data and customer component standard data are checked by referring to the destination (end user), product, and material data held in the specification master.

[0025] For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, when material data is entered in the dispensing details of the processing instruction input or when a slip is registered, a check is made to see if the material properties (component data) meet the customer specifications. Here, in this embodiment, the specification master for the product's specification control number is referenced. If the "test report issuance category = 0: not required" or the "component printing category = 0: not required," only a check may be made to see if the material type is registered in the allocable material master. That is, in this embodiment, if the "test report issuance category = 1: required" and the "component printing category = 1: required," checks are made in order, starting with (1), to see if there are any errors in the material registration, (2) whether the material type is allocable, (3) whether the material composition has been entered, and (4) whether the component inspection data for the allocated material is outside the specification value range of the customer component specification master. If even one item meets the "error condition," an error is declared, and the error check may end at the point in time when an error is detected.

[0062] An example of the material use check process in this embodiment will now be described with reference to Figures 5 to 9. Figures 5 to 9 are diagrams showing an example of the material use check process in this embodiment.

[0063] In this embodiment, in order to prevent material data from being overlooked and to check it correctly, an error message is displayed if there is an error in the registration of the necessary material data. For example, as shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, inventory data is referenced from the product code and lot number in the dispensing details, and if either the manufacturer code or charge number is NULL, an error message is displayed stating, "There is an item of material data that has not been registered. Please check with the material purchasing department."

[0064] In this embodiment, if the material type is not available for allocation, an error message is displayed. Specifically, in this embodiment, 1) the specification master 106b is referenced using the specification management number of the receiving details, and the specification master 106b. destination and specification master 106b. product code are acquired. Then, the specification master 106b. destination and specification master 106b. product code are referenced using the acquired specification master 106b. destination and specification master 106b. product code, and the allocable material type master 106d is referenced to acquire the material type code and manufacturer code. Then, in this embodiment, 2) the product master 106g is referenced using the product code of the dispensing details, and the material type code is acquired. Then, the inventory data is referenced using the product code and lot number of the dispensing details, and the manufacturer code is acquired. (Note that if the manufacturer code is NULL, a code name with the general name master 106k. type = 20096 and code value = 1 may be set.) In this embodiment, 3) if the material type code and manufacturer code acquired in step 2) do not match either the material type code or manufacturer code acquired in step 1), an error is detected and an error message is displayed stating "This is not an available material type. Please check with the technical department." (However, if the manufacturer acquired in step 1) matches the code name in the general name master 106k. type = 20096 and code value = 1, only the material type code may be checked.)

[0065] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, 1) for product specification data for a product with destination = MU0001 and product code = SUS301, the destination and product code are obtained from the specification master 106b using the processing instruction input screen.Specification management number, and if the material type and / or manufacturer is different, an error message is notified; and 2) for product specification data for a product with destination = MU9999 and product code = SUS304, the destination and product code are obtained from the specification master using the processing instruction input screen.Specification management number, and if the material type and / or manufacturer is different, an error message is notified.

[0066] In addition, in this embodiment, if the material composition data has not been entered (for example, the material composition data is referenced using the material type code, charge number, material manufacturer, and application start date before the processing instruction date in the dispensing details, and no data can be obtained), an error message is notified. That is, in this embodiment, 1) the product master 106g is referenced using the product code in the dispensing details, and the material type code is obtained, and inventory data is referenced using the product code and lot number in the dispensing details, and the charge number and manufacturer code are obtained, and 2) the material composition data is referenced using the material type code, charge number, manufacturer code, and screen.processing instruction date (processing instruction date > material composition data. data most recent to application start date) obtained in step 1), and if no data can be obtained, an error message stating "The composition data has not been entered. Please check with the quality control department" is notified.

[0067] For example, as shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, if inventory data in which the material type, manufacturer code, and charge number do not match is selected for a dispensing detail with a processing instruction date of 2021 / 1 / 1, an error message will be displayed.

[0068] In this embodiment, if the component inspection data of the allocated material is outside the standard value range of the customer component standard master, an error message is notified. That is, in this embodiment, 1) the customer component standard master 106c is referenced using the specification management number of the receipt details, and the inspection item code, magnification, lower limit value, and upper limit value are obtained, 2) the product master 106g is referenced using the product code of the dispensing details, and the material type code is obtained, and inventory data is referenced using the product code and lot number of the dispensing details, and the charge number and manufacturer code are obtained, 3) the material component data is referenced using the material type code, charge number, manufacturer code, and screen.processing instruction date (processing instruction date > material component data. most recent data from application start date) obtained in step 2), and the inspection item code, magnification, and actual value are obtained, and 4) the customer component standard work (main table) and material component work (sub table) are linked by the inspection item code, and if the material component work.inspection item code is NULL, an error message is displayed stating, "There is no material component data corresponding to the customer component standard. Please check with the technical department." Furthermore, in this embodiment, 5) the customer component standard work (main table) and the material component work (sub-table) are linked by inspection item codes, and if even one item A) customer component standard work.upper limit value / customer component standard work.multiplication factor < material component work.actual value / material component work.multiplication factor, or B) customer component standard work.lower limit value / customer component standard work.multiplication factor > material component work.actual value / material component work.multiplication factor, an error message stating "This material does not meet the component standard. Please check with the technical department" is displayed.

[0069] For example, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, when inventory data (1), (2), or (3) is selected for a dispensing detail with a processing instruction date of January 1, 2021, the material composition data and customer component standard master 106c are identified. Here, the multiplier set for the material composition data is multiplied by a multiplier to make it easier to see on the mill sheet, since the decimal point increases depending on the inspection item. As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, 1) when inventory data (1) is allocated for specification control number = SUS301 product-001 and processing instruction date = 2021 / 5 / 1, the inventory material type: SUS301, manufacturer: MA0001, charge number: C801, and the latest actual values ​​of material composition data before application start date = 2021 / 5 / 1 (S actual value = 8, P actual value = 90) are acquired, and the specification values ​​(0≦S standard value≦12, 70≦P standard value≦89) of the customer component specification master 106c are acquired for specification control number = SUS301 product-001. As a result, an error occurs because the P actual value exceeds the upper limit value (90). When inventory data (2) is allocated, the inventory material type: SUS309, manufacturer: MA0002, charge number: C802 and the most recent actual values ​​of the material component data before the application start date = 2021 / 5 / 1 (no corresponding data) are obtained, and the specification values ​​(0≦S specification value ≦ 12, 70≦P specification value ≦ 89) are obtained from the customer component standard master 106c for the specification management number = SUS301 product-001, and an error occurs because the material component data does not exist, and inventory data (3) is allocated. In this case, the inventory material type: SUS304, manufacturer: MA0002, charge number: C802, and the most recent actual values ​​of the material component data before the application start date = 2021 / 5 / 1 (S specification value = 7, P specification value = 81) are obtained, and the specification values ​​(0≦S specification value ≦ 12, 70≦P specification value ≦ 89) are obtained from the customer component standard master 106c for the specification management number = SUS301 product-001, and the allocation is successful.In addition, in this embodiment, when inventory data (1) is allocated for specification management number = SUS304 product-001 and processing instruction date = 2021 / 5 / 1, the actual values ​​of the inventory material type: SUS301, manufacturer: MA0001, charge number: C801, and the most recent material component data actual values ​​(S actual value = 8, P actual value = 90) before the application start date = 2021 / 5 / 1 are obtained, and the standard values ​​(0≦S standard value≦10, 10≦P standard value≦120, 17≦Pb standard value≦27) of the customer component standard master 106c are obtained for specification management number = SUS304 product-001, and an error occurs because material component data for Pb does not exist.

[0070] An example of a processing instruction input screen in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a processing instruction input screen in this embodiment.
