Patent ID: 7010378

Claim:
A component and material traceability control apparatus for controlling manufacturing lot identification information of any of a component and material constituting a product manufactured according to a process where a manufacturing apparatus with not less than one component and material reserve unit picks up a needed amount out of the component and material reserved in the component and material reserve unit and manufactures the product, said component and material traceability control apparatus at least comprising: a processing unit; a memory unit used as a work area by the processing unit; a manufacturing performance information memory unit; a component and material supply performance information memory unit; and a manufacturing lot trace information memory unit, wherein in said product manufactured by said manufacturing apparatus, information of manufacturing start time and end time according to the manufacturing apparatus is made to correspond to manufacturing apparatus identification information of said manufacturing apparatus and manufactured article identification information added to said product and is memorized in said manufacturing performance information memory unit; wherein in the component and material reserve unit of said manufacturing apparatus, component and material supply start time of a supply of a predetermined component and material being started and component and material supply stop time of the supply being stopped are made to correspond to manufacturing lot identification information of the component and material, the manufacturing apparatus identification information of said manufacturing apparatus, component and material reserve unit identification information of said component and material reserve unit, and a name of the component and material supplied, and are memorized in said component and material supply performance information memory unit; and wherein in said product manufactured by said manufacturing apparatus, not less than one piece of manufacturing lot identification information of said component and material usable in said product is extracted, not less than the one piece of manufacturing lot identification information extracted is made to correspond to said manufactured article identification information and the name of said component and material, and is memorized in said manufacturing lot trace information memory unit, based on the information of the manufacturing start time and end time of said product memorized in said manufacturing performance information memory unit and the information of the component and material supply start time and end time memorized in said component and material supply performance information memory unit.
