A manufactured article treatment processing method and system includes reading out from a manufactured article being subjected to treatment information of component parts of the article and specific properties of the component parts, extraction of the component parts to be separated on the basis of predetermined specific properties serving as information for detachment and specific properties of the component parts, and treatment of the component parts to be separated and other components parts through different processes, respectively.

Manufactured article treatment processing system

A method and a system for estimating an assembling-related fraction defective coefficient of an article in the stage preceding to manufacturing, e.g. at a stage of design. Assembling operation, properties/conditions of parts to be assembled and conditions of an assembling shop having significant influence to the likelihood of occurrence of failure in assembling work are inputted as data. Estimated value of assembling-related fraction defective is arithmetically determined with high accuracy by executing an assembling-related fraction defective value estimating program on the basis of the data as inputted.

Fraction defective estimating method, system for carrying out the same recording medium

Method and apparatus for evaluating quality of a product, and a recording medium therefor. The invention includes creating and storing in advance a workshop evaluating database, extracting from the prepared workshop evaluating database those failure occurrence ratio indexes which correspond to workshop facility levels of an input manufacturing workshop for workshop-conditioned failure influential items thereof, respectively, and evaluating/estimating failure occurrence likelihood for standard manufacturing works in the manufacturing workshop, the failure occurrence likelihood being then stored as workshop index in a product evaluating database, and evaluating/estimating a quality indicating a work-related defective ratio for the products to be manufactured through a plurality of manufacturing works in the manufacturing workshop by using the workshop indexes concerning that manufacturing workshop which has been stored in the article evaluating database in the workshop evaluating step.

Fraction defective estimating method and system for estimating an assembly fraction defective of an article

A treatment processing system for determining proper and appropriate treatment methods and procedures in accordance with states of discarded articles and outputting the determined procedures. Treatment methods are decided which are desirable for manufactured articles for carrying out corresponding treatments of the manufactured articles. The treatment processing system includes a unit for reading out information affixed to the discarded articles, a unit for storing databases for required information, a treatment procedure decision unit, a treatment procedure altering unit, and a detector for detecting whether or not treatment is being executed in conformance with the relevant treatment procedure.

Product disposal system

A designed object workability evaluating system for evaluating quantitatively at a stage of designing an article whether a structure of the article as designed can be realized with work easy to do in a manufacturing stage for thereby selectively determining a best structure from a plurality of design plans through comparative evaluation thereof. A server machine section of the system includes an evaluation-destined element estimating module for estimating the evaluation-destined elements to be performed on parts constituting an article given by a design plan subjected to evaluation, a part workability evaluation module for evaluating easiness of works to be performed on the parts, an article workability evaluation module for evaluating easiness of works involved in realizing the article, and a best design plan selection/determination module for selectively determining a best structure on the basis of comparative evaluation of a plurality of design plans.

Automatic manufacturing evaluation method and system

Fraction defective estimating method, system for carrying out the same

A method of evaluating quantitatively in a design stage degrees of difficulty of works and processings to be performed on an article or parts at various stage of life thereof such as manufacturing, sale, use, maintenance/inspection/repair, recovery, dismantling, disassembling, recycling for resources, nontoxication and scrapping. Part elimination scores E.sub.i representing degrees of difficulty of the works and processings to be performed on the parts are regarded to be a function of indexes indicating the degrees of difficulty of the works and the processings for the parts and expressed by E.sub.i =f(G.sub.i), while an article evaluation score E representing the degrees of difficulty of the work and the processing for the article is regarded to be a function of a mean value of the part evaluation scores E.sub.i or an index G (=.SIGMA.G.sub.i) indicating the degrees of difficulty of the work and the processing for the article and expressed by E=f(G)=f(.SIGMA.G.sub.i). Further, work and processing costs for the article under evaluation or parts are estimated on the basis of work and processing costs required really for an article or parts bearing similarity to the article under evaluation or parts thereof.

Method of evaluating easiness of works and processings performed on

A development support system for supporting new product development activities including designing, manufacturing experimental models and testing the functions of the experimental models and for providing an environment for the cooperative activities of a plurality of members of a development project team has a model storage for storing product models, resource models of resources to be used for product development and product development activity models; a target storage for storing target values of schedules of product development, and the cost and the performance of the product; an estimating unit for estimating schedules of product development and the cost and the performance of the product on the basis of the models stored in the model storage; a support unit for support the operations of the members of the development project team for making reference to the models, the target values and the estimated values, and changing and particularizing the models, the target values and the estimated values; a notifying unit for deciding, when each model is changed or particularized, whether or not the estimated values meet the corresponding target values and, when the estimated values do not meet the corresponding target values, for notifying the members of the development project team to that effects; and a unit for monitoring electronic mail necessary for carrying out tasks essential to the development of the product, extracting information relating to the progress of tasks essential to carrying out the development of the product, and providing the members of the development project team with information about the progress of the tasks.
