Patent number: 11593739Abstract: Regardless of the production method applied, it is possible for a user to estimate a factor that causes trouble in one of the resources belonging to a resource type. A supporting system refers to management information indicating a production past record of the production system, and displays an overlay chart in which a diagram chart is relatively superimposed on a Gantt chart. The Gantt chart is a chart for a first resource type and has a resource axis and a time axis. The diagram chart is for a second resource type. In the overlay chart, a polygonal line connecting a plurality of points corresponding to a second resource, belonging to the second resource type, is on the Gantt chart, and each point is plotted at a position corresponding to an execution time of a step and a first resource, belonging to the first resource type, related to the step.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2019Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Kenichirou Kawakami, Shigeyasu Kubo, Kazuhiro Matsuya, Yusuke Yajima

Patent number: 11493905Abstract: The production management support system analyzes, on the basis of one or more attentional perspectives on a plurality of different models of products, past record information that includes information as a past record which shows, for each product loaded in a production system in which the plurality of different models of products are loaded and a sequential order of two or more of a plurality of steps is different depending on the model, an execution time of each of the steps and that serves as a basis for a production management chart showing a production situation, to detect, among display objects displayed in the production management chart, a display object satisfying one or more requirements associated with the one or more attentional perspectives. The system performs accentuated display on at least one of the detected display objects.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiro Matsuya, Yusuke Yajima, Kenichirou Kawakami, Shigeyasu Kubo

Patent number: 11367032Abstract: As a plurality of resource types relating to production, there are two or more resource types including Money from among resource types of Man, Machine, Material, and Money. Execution past record information indicates, for each of one or more resource types other than Money and for each resource belonging to the resource type, a step performed on the resource and an execution time block of the step. Expense information indicates, for at least one of the above-mentioned one or more resource types and for each resource belonging to the resource type, an expense relating to the resource. The system displays a cost chart based on the result of the cost calculation process. The cost chart shows costs in management unit same as or different from those of the steps, and has a time axis and a management unit axis (axis perpendicular to the time axis).Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Yoshihito Doi, Kenichirou Kawakami, Megumi Sakai, Yusuke Yajima, Shigeyasu Kubo, Kazuhiro Matsuya

Patent number: 11269317Abstract: A support system displays, on the basis of management information as a past record which shows, for each product loaded in a production system in which a plurality of different models of products are loaded and a sequential order of two or more of a plurality of steps is different depending on the model, an execution time of each of the steps, at least one of a first holistic chart (having a time axis and showing a feature value of production situation of the product during a display target period on a per predetermined unit basis) and a second holistic chart (showing a relationship between a plurality of steps with respect to a flow of a plurality of models of products). The support system selects at least one of a model and a step for one of the holistic charts, and displays step element information.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Shigeyasu Kubo, Yusuke Yajima, Kenichirou Kawakami, Kazuhiro Matsuya
