The apparatus includes: a storage unit configured to store a production instruction serving as an operation instruction for a production element including a production facility of a factory, a production resource, and an operator, production state information including an occurrence state of an abnormality of the production element, and facility-process relation information for identifying, for each process to be performed by the production element, another production element capable of alternatively performing the process; a planning change necessity determination unit configured to, when an abnormality in execution of the production instruction occurs in the production element, determine that planning change is unnecessary when the production instruction can be complied in consideration of a stop period of the production element that is caused by the abnormality; a distributed planning range calculation unit configured to include the another alternative production element in a re-planning target range; and a distributed planning generation unit.

The production line configuration change system includes: an error information storage unit that stores information of an error which occurs in equipment on a production line; a work information storage unit that stores work contents required for manufacturing a product; an equipment information storage unit that stores constraint information of a tool mountable on the equipment; a production line configuration information storage unit that, in order of manufacturing processes of the product, stores a work content, work assignment equipment, a tool mounted on the equipment, and a process tact time in each of the manufacturing processes; and a production line configuration calculation unit that is activated immediately after the error occurs, prepares a change plan of assigning a work assigned to the equipment in which the error occurs to the equipment before or after the process or another equipment of the identical process and calculates a provisional production line configuration.

The present invention is directed to a technique that avoids occurrence of interference among multiple placement heads, when multiple placement heads simultaneously access a circuit board, and a pallet which is arranged in one direction with respect to the circuit board. When the component placement parthaving the multiple placement heads simultaneously pick up the components from the palletand simultaneously place the components on the circuit board, the controllerspecifies a pair of component groups to be picked up simultaneously from the palletby the multiple placement heads and places the components on the circuit board, so that an area where the multiple placement heads move in overlapping manner is minimized, and the placement heads respectively pick up the components included in the pair of component groups being specified and place the components on the circuit board.

Technology is provided for changing a mounting angle of a component to reduce the amount of relative displacement between a mounting head and a board. A component, for which a mounting angle can be changed, is specified based on information stored in a mounting data storage area and a component data storage area according to a predetermined component mounting order. A mounting time in a mounting path with the mounting angle of the specified component being changed is calculated for each mounting angle to specify the mounting path requiring the shortest mounting time.
