Work-in-process management control method, work-in-process management control system, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a work-in-process management control method and a work-in-process management control system using the work-in-process management control method. The work-in-process management control method includes: receiving, from first process devices that execute a first process, an out-of-process request for work-in-process; determining whether a second process corresponding to the out-of-process request is a process subjected to control; in the case where the second process is not a process subjected to control, shifting out the work-in-process in response to the out-of-process request; in the case where the second process is a process subjected to control, determining whether a current quantity of the work-in-process in use for the second process exceeds a control threshold in the second process; and in the case where the current quantity of the work-in-process in use for the second process exceeds a control threshold in the second process, stopping responding to the out-of-process request.
