164 words
A processing device for making arrangements for parts composing a product, comprising: design parts list entry means for creating a design parts list indicating necessary parts in accordance with the results of design in product design; production arrangement parts list entry means for creating a production parts list indicating parts for arrangements for production, in accordance with said design parts list, in product manufacturing; design/production parts list storage means for storing said design parts list and said production parts list; recomposition processing means for recomposing a hierarchical relationship among said parts in said production parts list, said hierarchical relationship corresponding to a process of said product manufacturing; and data link processing means for establishing a correspondence between the numbers of parts, in said production parts list, subjected to recomposition and the numbers of corresponding parts, in said design parts list, whereby exchange of part data, between a design section and a production section, is facilitated, even after the recomposition of parts has been performed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A processing device for making arrangements for parts composing a product, comprising: design parts list entry means for creating a design parts list indicating necessary parts in accordance with the results of design in product design; production arrangement parts list entry means for creating a production parts list indicating parts for arrangements for production, in accordance with said design parts list, in product manufacturing; design/production parts list storage means for storing said design parts list and said production parts list; recomposition processing means for recomposing a hierarchical relationship among said parts in said production parts list, said hierarchical relationship corresponding to a process of said product manufacturing; and data link processing means for establishing a correspondence between the numbers of parts, in said production parts list, subjected to recomposition and the numbers of corresponding parts, in said design parts list, whereby exchange of part data, between a design section and a production section, is facilitated, even after the recomposition of parts has been performed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The device according to claim 1, further comprising recomposition rule storage means for storing rules for recomposition of said parts in said production parts list, and wherein said recomposition processing means performs automatic recomposition, using said rules.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
The device according to claim 2, wherein said rules include rereading rules indicating part numbers of parts in said production parts list to which part numbers of corresponding parts, in said design parts list, are to be reread.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The device according to claim 1, further comprising a design change request processing means for reflecting design change request by said design section in the stored contents of said design/production parts list storage means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The device according to claim 4, further comprising design change information storage means for storing data used to identify drawings changed according to said design change request.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
The device according to claim 5, further comprising design change application determination processing means for, in said production section, determining application contents, including the application time of said design change, on the basis of data stored in said design change information storage means, by referring to manufacturing conditions and parts stock conditions in a factory.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
43 words
The device according to claim 6, further comprising application rule storage means for storing application rules for determining the application contents of said design change, and wherein said design change application determination processing means determines the application contents automatically, using said application rules.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
61 words
The device according to claim 5, wherein said design change information storage means further stores the results of application of said design change performed by said production section according to said design change request, and further comprising a design change application reference processing means for permitting said design section to make reference to the results of application of said design change.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
60 words
The device according to claim 8, wherein, when said design change request is made for a failure, said design change information storage means further stores the contents of said request and the results of measures taken by said production section against said failure, to permit said design change application reference processing means to make a reference to the stored contents.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
46 words
The device according to claim 9, further comprising means for outputting an alarm when the use of a failing part, stored in said design change information storage means, is specified in a process of creating a design parts list by said design parts list entry means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
82 words
A part arrangement processing device comprising: first storage means for storing a first parts list indicating a hierarchical composition of parts; recomposition means for recomposing the composition of said parts in said first parts list, to create a second parts list; second storage means for storing said second parts list; and data link processing means for establishing a correspondence between the part numbers of parts in said first parts list and the part numbers of corresponding parts in said second parts list.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
82 words
A part arrangement processing device comprising: first storage means for storing a first parts list indicating a hierarchical composition of parts; recomposition means for recomposing the composition of said parts in said first parts list, to create a second parts list; second storage means for storing said second parts list; and data link processing means for establishing a correspondence between the part numbers of parts in said first parts list and the part numbers of corresponding parts in said second parts list.
Claim 14
