A production plan creation device includes a processor configured to receive, in a case of receiving a modification request to add a new task to an existing plan including plural tasks performed to produce a product using resources, a retention condition for retaining the plan for a task included in the existing plan, and modify the existing plan into a plan in which the plural tasks and the new task are performed using the resources while accounting for the retention condition and content of the new task.

A method automatically controls stores for a processing line for containers pre-dosed with fluid products. The identifying code for each container is determined and then checked whether the container is necessary for production orders received. The container is introduced into a first store and the quantity and identifying codes of the containers in the first store are recorded. Production orders are checked for products yet to be started. The containers are picked up and sent towards a first manipulation station and at least one production order of a product is processed and the containers are sent towards different stations. Quality control inspection is conducted and if the product is compliant, introduced into a second store. Containers with non-compliant product are introduced into a control line. The quantity of containers in the second store is recorded and the containers are sent towards a packaging station to fulfill production orders.

Provided is a production line that includes a conveying section (2) for conveying a plurality of pallets (8 and 8) along a loop-shaped circulation route, a workpiece setting section (3) for setting workpieces on the pallets (8 and 8), a setting-position measuring section (4) for measuring setting position of the workpiece on the pallets (8 and 8), a production process performing section (5) for performing one or multiple production processes at each of a plurality of locations on the circulation route for the workpieces on the pallets (8 and 8), and a workpiece extracting section (6) for extracting workpieces for which the production processes have been performed from the pallets (8 and 8). At least two of the production processes in the production process performing section (5) are performed while taking into account the setting positions of the workpieces on the pallets (8) measured by the setting-position measuring section (4).
