<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To estimate the delivery date whenever required on the real-time basis reflecting production actualities infinitely near the current time point. <P>SOLUTION: A production scheduling means 11, upon receiving a production plan preparation implementation instruction, implements a production scheduling program for the generation of production plan information and, upon receiving a production plan finalization instruction, registers the production plan information in a production plan related information database 14. With the registration as a trigger, a delivery date simulation means 12 retrieves necessary information out of a reference information database 13 and the database 14, and puts the information in its subordinate memory in preparation for a delivery date answering real-time business. The means 12, upon receiving an order-received instruction transmitted by a business terminal 30, implements a delivery date simulation program based on the related information stored in its memory and returns a delivery date for the terminal 30 to reply. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
