In a physical distribution model of the circulation type, synchronization is established between a reuse plan and a delivery/fabrication plan to thereby reasonably reduce the excess and deficiency of inventory articles at a confluence point of regenerated reusable articles and newly delivered component parts. With regard to newly delivered lower-level items, predict a variation or fluctuation of stock quantity based on at least a delivery schedule of them and a present stock amount along with usage plans in manufacturing processes. As for lower-level items of regenerated articles, predict a delivery due date and an expected number of such regenerated lower-level items based on at least a stock quantity of recovered items collected for reuse purposes and a lead time for taking regenerated lower-level items out of the collected items, thereby controlling, based on the both prediction results, the stock quantity of the lower-level items in manufacturing processes.

Inventory control system and method in recycle-oriented society

An apparatus and method for producing an exploded view of an assembly. The invention includes an input unit, a geometrical data memory for storing geometrical data of parts composing an assembly, a/m for storing assembling process data composed of parts to be attached and attaching directions, a calculating unit for displaying the assembly to a display based on geometrical data, and apparatus for determining arranged positions of the parts in a disassembled state based on assembling process data and geometrical data, thereby producing an exploded view of the display corresponding to the arranged positions.

Apparatus for producing exploded view and animation of assembling, and method thereof

An apparatus and method for producing an exploded view of an assembly. The invention includes an input unit, a geometrical data memory for storing geometrical data of parts composing an assembly, a memory for storing assembling process data composed of parts to be attached and attaching directions, a calculating unit for displaying the assembly to a display based on geometrical data, and apparatus for determining arranged positions of the parts in a disassembled state based on assembling process data and geometrical data, thereby producing an exploded view on the display corresponding to the arranged positions.

An apparatus for producing an exploded view has an input unit, a geometrical data memory for storing geometrical data of parts composing an assembly, a memory for storing assembling process data composed of part to be attached data and attaching direction data a calculating unit for generating the assembly for a display unit based on the geometrical data, and means for determining arranged positions of the parts composing said assembly in a disassembled state based on assembling process data and the geometrical data, thereby an exploded view being displayed in the display unit corresponding to the arranged positions is determined. An apparatus for producing animation of assembling comprises a geometrical data memory for storing geometries of parts composing an assembly, an attaching procedure data memory for storing attaching procedures composed of attaching orders, part to be attached data and attaching direction data, a jointing data memory for storing jointing data composed of part to be attached data and jointing method data, a table for special jointing operation memory for storing a table for special jointing operation composed of jointing method data and operation data special for the jointing method data, and operating data producing means for producing operating data for part to be attached as an input parameter to an animation display function using the geometrical data in the geometrical data memory, the attaching procedure data in the attaching procedure data memory, the jointing data in the jointing data memory, and the table for special jointing operation in the table for special jointing operation memory.

An apparatus for producing an exploded view has an input unit, a geometrical data memory for storing geometrical data of parts composing an assembly, a memory for storing assembling process data composed of part to be attached data and attaching direction data, a calculating unit for generating display data of the assembly for display by a display unit based on the geometrical data, and means for determining arranged positions of the parts composing said assembly in a disassembled state based on assembling process data and the geometrical data, whereby an exploded view is displayed by the display unit corresponding to the arranged positions.
