Abstract: The invention relates to a method of production control and a method of manufacturing industrial products. It is an object of the invention to provide a method of production control and a method of manufacturing industrial products which make it possible to set a target processing quantity of a process appropriately set and to improve the throughput of a production line as a whole. A method of production control for a production line including a plurality of processes is provided, in which a target processing quantity Lk for a process Pk is obtained from: Lk=Nk?SKk(Nk>SKk) Lk=0(Nk?SKk) where the processes are represented by Pn (n=1, 2, . . . , k?1, k, . . .

Abstract: A plurality of subsidiary transport paths are disposed crossing a main transport path, for transferring a workpiece. A stocker is disposed at each cross point between the main transport path and each of the subsidiary transport paths. The stocker transfers the workpiece to and from the main transport path and a corresponding subsidiary transport path and temporarily stocks the workpiece. A plurality of processing apparatuses are disposed corresponding to each of the subsidiary transport paths. The processing apparatus receives the workpiece transported on a corresponding subsidiary transport path, processes it, and returns it to the corresponding subsidiary transport path. An efficient transport as a whole can be realized.

Abstract: A sealing structure around an intercooler arranged in an engine room of an automobile, in which an intercooler cover covers surroundings of the intercooler, and an annular sealing member is mounted to an engine hood for making resilient and tight contact with the intercooler cover to seal a peripheral portion of an air inlet of the engine hood and the intercooler cover when the engine hood is closed.
