2. Description of the Related Art The production process in an automobile production factory is
An assembly process of assembling each part and assembling a car,
It consists of the final step of inspecting the completed automobile vehicle and repairing any defective parts if found to be defective. The car that has gone through the final process is shipped via the next shipping process. The final process is divided into more detailed steps: a complete inspection process (inspection process) for inspecting a completed vehicle,
It includes a repair process for repairing a defective portion found as a result of the inspection and a re-inspection process for performing the inspection again. As for the completed vehicles carried into the final process, if no defect is found in the complete inspection process, they are immediately shipped as a passing vehicle via the shipping process. On the other hand, if a vehicle is found to be defective in the complete inspection process, it will be sent to the repair process as a rejected vehicle, where the defective part will be repaired and the re-inspection process will be re-inspected to determine whether it has passed , Will be shipped via the shipping process on the condition that they pass. Further, the defective portion found in the complete inspection process is not limited to one, but may be plural. In such a case, the rejected vehicle sent to the repairing process is sequentially repaired in a defective portion by going around each of the repairing work areas prepared in the repairing process in an appropriate order.

When a dealer, who is in charge of selling automobiles, receives an order from a customer to purchase a vehicle of a specific model, the dealer decides a delivery date while estimating the estimated delivery time, and issues a production order to the automobile manufacturer. . On the other hand, the automobile manufacturer determines the shipment time at the automobile production factory corresponding to the requested delivery date in accordance with the production order from the dealer, and starts the production of the ordered automobile according to the above-mentioned production process at the automobile production factory. . In the production process of the automobile production structure,
As described above, the acceptable vehicle for the ordered vehicle is shipped through the assembly process, the final process, and the shipping process in order.

[0004] In the production factory of automobiles, regarding the production of automobiles having a predetermined shipment time, the production situation of the automobile is in any situation from the start of production to the completion and shipment of the automobile, It is desirable to be able to accurately and immediately grasp whether or not there is a delay with respect to the shipping time. Especially when it comes to shipping, it is possible to perform production while knowing exactly whether it can be shipped on a predetermined shipping date, and if it is delayed, how long it can be produced It is also important to increase customer satisfaction.

In the production process of an automobile production plant, in reality, the delay of the shipping time hardly occurs in the assembly process unless the supply of parts is insufficient, and usually, it is likely to occur in the final process. In the assembly process, defects due to assembly are managed, but in the assembly process, the work proceeds according to the prescribed procedure without delay, so the assembly of the vehicle is completed without delay and within a fixed time. To do. In the final step following the assembling step, it is inspected in the completion inspection step whether the completed automobile having been assembled is assembled without any problem. Any defects that occur during the assembly process will be revealed in the final inspection process.

A vehicle for which no defect is found in the inspection in the above-described complete inspection process is transferred to the shipping process as a passing vehicle.
Such vehicles can pass through the assembly process and the final process at the predictable fixed time, so if the production start time is appropriately determined, the vehicle will be manufactured and shipped in time without any delay. be able to.

On the other hand, a rejected vehicle in which a defect is found in the complete inspection process is sent to the repair process, where the defective portion is repaired. Since the number of defective portions is not limited to one, in the case of a plurality of defective portions, it is necessary to go around a plurality of work areas for repair in an appropriate order in the repair process and repair all defective portions. In such a case, the time required for the repair is completely different depending on the number of defective parts and the degree of the defect, and it is not easy to accurately predict the time required for the repair process. Therefore, in the entire production process, the time in the final process of the repair process will be effective as a variable factor, so if you need to go through the repair process after finding a defective part as described above,
The issue is whether or not it is possible to meet the set shipping time. On the contrary, in order to keep the production of automobiles in time for shipment in the production process, time management in the repair process or accurate grasp of delay time is an important factor.

As a conventional technique proposed in consideration of the above problems, there is a "delivery management assisting device for final process of vehicle production" described in Japanese Patent No. 2884955. This device is equipped with an "identification number input means for inputting the identification number of a vehicle in each line and each work area in the final production process of a vehicle, an area-specific delivery date management display panel installed in each work area, and a final production process of the vehicle. Within the work area where the display panel is installed, the entire delivery date management display panel installed in a predetermined place and the input identification number are collated with the delivery date management table In addition to displaying the number of in-process vehicles and the identification numbers of vehicles with a close due date, the overall delivery date management display panel shows the number of in-process vehicles within the final production process of the vehicle and the identification numbers of vehicles with a close due date and their vehicles. And a delivery date management display control means for displaying the location and the location. According to the delivery date management auxiliary device, the identification number of the vehicle having a near delivery date and the location of the vehicle are displayed on the entire delivery date management display panel of the management department in the final production process of the vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to predict the delivery date relatively accurately in the management department of the final process. Therefore, it is possible to manage the delivery date, that is, the shipping time, and to grasp the delay with respect to the delivery date or the shipping time.

[0009]

At the automobile production plant of an automobile manufacturer, a computer system for managing time in all processes from the start of production to completion of the vehicle and a computer system for quality control in the assembly process are currently constructed. Is up and running.

A computer system for time management is called, for example, an ALC (Assembly Line Control) system. According to this system, the assembly process of the vehicle to be produced is managed. According to the management of the assembling process, the entire assembling process from the time when the body number of the vehicle to be produced is given to the completion of the assembling of the vehicle body is managed. In the management of the assembly process by the ALC system, the process record (passage record) related to the vehicle assembly work in various lower work areas in the assembly process is input for each vehicle to the terminal device (PC) provided in each assembly work department. Also, the passing record (shipping record) is provided, and the progress of the assembly for each vehicle is managed by the computer as a whole. Further, in the process management by ALC, work instructions are provided to the departments in each work area.

A computer system for quality control is called, for example, an MQS (Manufacture Quality System) quality control system. In this system, information on defects found in the assembly process is mainly input through a terminal device (PC) provided in each assembly work department of the assembly process, and the defect information is fed back to the defect generation source, and the defect information It is configured to manage.

On the other hand, as described above, in the production process in the automobile production factory, time management related to the shipping time in the final process subsequent to the assembly process is an important management item. Further, as mentioned above, the automobile production plant is equipped with a computer system called an ALC system to control the assembly process. Therefore, in combination with the system, time management in the final process, especially the passing of rejected vehicles It is desirable to build an optimal system that can manage delays, shipping forecasts, etc. On the premise that the automobile production plant is equipped with an ALC system, further consider the problem of delay in shipping due to the final process described above, and build a system that can solve the problem of delay in shipping. Is emphasized. The management department of the final process, or the department in charge of each repair work area of the repair process as necessary, finds a defect in the final inspection process of the final process and fails the inspection. It is important from the viewpoint of keeping the shipping time as much as possible to know what time it is, and how far behind it is from the predetermined shipping time. In addition, the management department of the final process accurately predicts the completion point of repair for each vehicle in the repair process, or each person in each repair work area repairs or repairs himself or herself. What kind of progress is being made on the vehicle to be repaired at that time, how many vehicles are currently required to be repaired, and how many vehicles will be required to be repaired in the future? It is important to know whether or not it will be sent from the viewpoint of smoothly performing repair work, eliminating delay in shipping time, and being in time for shipping.

It is considered that the "delivery date management assisting device for the final process of vehicle production" according to the above-mentioned prior art was also developed for the purpose of achieving the above-mentioned object, and the delivery date management can be effectively performed. However, according to this delivery time management assisting device, based on the control function of the delivery time management display control means, the entire delivery time management display panel placed in the management department in particular, the total number of in-process vehicles and delivery date in the final process of vehicle production The vehicle identification number and the location where the vehicle is located are displayed. The information displayed in such a format is created based on the vehicle identification number information input to the identification number input means arranged in each line and each work area in the final vehicle production process. Therefore, the content displayed on the overall delivery date management display panel is not accurate information at that time but information about the state that belongs to the past in the past, and in that sense, it is not real-time information and accuracy is low as delivery date management information. It is a thing. Further, the delivery time management assisting device has a fixed fixed order of repair when a plurality of repairs are performed in the repair process in the final production process of the vehicle,
It is considered convenient if the order of repairs does not change. The reason for this is that, as shown in FIG. 4 of Japanese Patent No. 2884955, in the overall display panel (36a), "existing place" (either in the repair process) This is because the location of the repair work area) is indicated by a number, and the display mode is fixed and lacks flexibility. However, considering the actual situation of work in the repair process and its efficiency, the repair work sequence should be repaired from a major defect point, or from a place that can be efficiently repaired based on the experience of the worker, or It is often desirable not to perform a fixed work order, such as determining the order of repairs in consideration of the availability of the repair work area. Considering such a situation, the information regarding the shipment protection required by the management department is grasped by the destination information that is assumed to be the “presence place” in the near future, rather than the “presence place” that seems to have already existed. However, it is desirable to create management information related to shipping time management based on the destination information and display it to the related parties.

In order to solve the above problems, a first object of the present invention is to perform a repair process in a final process of vehicle production in automobile production in which a shipping time at a production factory is determined according to a delivery order. By adopting the idea of management based on destination information for time management, the flexibility of the time management system that protects the shipping time can be enhanced, and the progress of repair work can be accurately grasped in real time during the repair process of the completed vehicle. , The shipping time can be accurately predicted, and the consistency with the system originally designed for time management and quality control of the assembly process is improved, and information on defects found in the final process is assembled on the source side. It is to provide a shipping protection system that is suitable for feedback to the process.

A second object of the present invention is to supplementarily support the above-mentioned shipping protection system, and to repair each of a plurality of repair work areas of a repair process by designating a destination. Passages at the entrance and exit of the building are used as a guide to determine whether vehicles that rotate in sequence to the repair work area have been reliably delivered to the repair work area or whether the repair work in the repair work area has ended.
