PURPOSE:To improve the machine operation rate in a mixed production line by determining the part supply order, timing, etc. for increasing the machine operation rate in the production line according to the input information supplied from terminal apparatuses, by an arithmetic means into which production information is memorized. CONSTITUTION:The production information such as working procedure, used machinery, working time, buffer amount, etc. is memorized beforehand into a controller 80. On the basis of the production schedule for the kind of products, time, amount, etc. which is supplied from a host controller 9, the input-order calculation instruction is input from an input/output apparatus 7, and the feeding order, timing, etc. of parts which are optimum for minimizing the inoperative time of each machine 41-44 are calculated according to the prescribed processing procedures, and indicated as the working instruction for the input/output apparatus 7 and registered into the controller 9. Then, necessary parts are delivered from the part group in a part wavehouse 1 according to the working instruction, and after arranged by an arranging apparatus 2 according to the optimum supply order determined by the controller 80, the parts are transported to each machine 41-44 through transport lines 3. |
