  • Publication number: 20090292381
    Abstract: In the production process where an ordered article and a forecast production article are mixed, parameters for defining production priority of each article are preset while assuming a case where the demand exceeds the available production capability, and priority is given to an article which must be produced first within the range of available production capability according to the marginal stock rate of each article. The marginal stock rate is determined by (effective stock amount/necessary stock amount) for a forecast production article. As for the ordered production article, a stock sufficient for delivery is required at the time of shipment. Accordingly, stock of that quantity (demand take-in amount) can be regarded as the necessary amount of stock while the currently completed products can be regarded as the effective stock amount. Thus, the marginal stock rate (effective stock amount/demand take-in amount) can be indexed.

  • Patent number: 4974321
    Abstract: A hair cutting guide for use with either a conventional pair of shears or hair clippers comprises a housing having first and second openings therein and a guide portion for receiving the conventional cutting apparatus in such a manner so as to define a cutting region within the housing. The housing is coupled to a source of vacuum at its output end, and its input end is coupled to at least one input member of a predetermined length. In this manner, hair is drawn into the input member under the force of the vacuum to the cutting region where it is clipped. The clipped hair is then drawn out of the housing by the vacuum to a collection area. The input members may vary in length and shape so as to achieve a desired hair style.
