The time required to modify order allocation rules is shortened in a production planning system. A performance rule is generated, in which a manufacturing condition is set as the input and a manufacturing facility is set as the output, based on allocation performance data representing a performance of allocating the manufacturing facility for the manufacturing condition. A comparison table is generated representing a difference between the performance rule and an existing rule in which the manufacturing condition is set as the input and the manufacturing facility is set as the output. A modification rule is generated in which the existing rule is modified according to a user operation on the comparison table; and an evaluation index is calculated for production plan data corresponding to each of the existing rule and the modification rule. The rule modification unit generates the comparison table including a modification plan for the existing rule.

A method and a system for processing optical lenses in which the lenses are conveyed to individual processing apparatuses or processing lines corresponding to an assignment. The assignment takes into consideration maintenance that is due.

In two component mounting lines or more each including the plurality of the component mounters, a set-up changing work time, necessary for executing set-up changing work in the two component mounting lines or more based on the number of workers assigned for production in the two component mounting lines or more in each time zone, and the number of workers necessary for the set-up changing work necessary when the mounting board is changed in the two component mounting lines or more, is calculated; and a production completion time, which includes a set-up changing work time and at which the production of all the mounting boards that are the production targets is completed, is calculated; and a group is determined so that the production completion time is shortened within a predetermined time period in the two component mounting lines or more.

To provide a product manufacturing system, method, and program that can efficiently execute a manufacturing process irrespective of a form of an object to be processed or conformity of manufacturing process conditions when collectively executing a plurality of manufacturing jobs. A step managing device (16, 20A, 20B), which constitutes part of a product manufacturing system (10, 10A, 10B), performs: creating a plurality of electronic documents (72) including information related to manufacturing jobs representing manufacturing units of a product (D1, D2); transmitting, to a manufacturing process device, process information (Ir) capable of specifying the manufacturing process conditions and the object to be processed associated with a selected manufacturing job from among the electronic documents (72) or a plurality of output objects (26); and causing a manufacturing process device (22, 28, 29) to execute the manufacturing process to be executed in work steps corresponding to the electronic documents (72).

A method for optimizing communication resource. The method may include substituting, by a processor, previous production line states associated with at least one production line to a default null state; and performing iteratively, by the processor: accessing production line information to obtain current production line state associated with the at least one production line; for each of the at least one production line: determining if previous production line state matches current production line state, for previous production line state not matching current production line state: accessing device information to retrieve IP address list of devices associated with production line, accessing quality of service (QOS) association information to retrieve QoS level for each of the devices, and creating pairings of IP address and QoS level in QoS configuration information for each device of the devices based on the IP address list and the QoS association information.

Battery production method includes determining quantity of first battery cells based on current first production work order in process of producing products by production device in first process of battery production line; determining quantity of second battery cells; if greater than or equal to the quantity of the first battery cells, sending control instruction to first production device in the first process, and taking next first production work order as the current first production work order; determining quantity of unfinished battery packs on station device for current second production work order and sending the quantity of the unfinished battery packs to the station device in process of producing products by the station device in the second process of the battery production line; and when the quantity of the unfinished battery packs is zero, taking next second production work order as the current second production work order.
