Abstract
A production control apparatus includes a workpiece position detection unit, an ID generation unit, an ID notification unit, a data receiving unit, and a storage unit. The data receiving unit receives the unique IDs generated by the ID generation unit and the traceability data (actual production information) when the workpieces for which the unique IDs have been generated are processed, from the manufacturing machines to which the unique IDs have been notified by the ID notification unit. The storage unit records the unique IDs and the traceability data received by the data receiving unit in association with each other.
