摘要

The present invention relates to a method of and apparatus for indicating the number of blanks to be introduced for products which are classified into ranks according to their properties. The invention also relates to a manufacturing system for manufacturing products using the method. The method comprises the steps of computing the number of blanks to be introduced based on the number of products ordered and the output ratio according to product rank, which quantity is sufficient to satisfy the amount of the orders made for all of the product ranks; computing the output of each of the product ranks when the blanks have been introduced in an amount equal to the first number of blanks; comparing the computed output of each of the product ranks to their respective maximum production values; outputting the first number of blanks to be introduced as the final number to be introduced when it has been judged that none of the outputs of the product ranks exceeds their respective maximum production values; and computing the second number of blanks to be introduced as the final number to be introduced when it has been judged that none of the outputs of the product ranks exceeds their respective maximum production values, and outputting this second number as the final number to be introduced, so that none of the outputs of the product ranks exceeds their respective maximum production values.
