Inspection management system, inspection management apparatuses, and inspection management method

Abstract

An inspection management system having a plurality of processes and managing final inspection performed to inspect a completed product and one or more intermediate inspections performed to inspect an intermediate product manufactured in the processes earlier than a final process includes: an inspection content data acquisition unit that acquires inspection content data including an inspection standard for each inspection item of the product; an inspection content setting unit that sets inspection content based on the inspection content data acquired by the inspection content data acquisition unit; a simulation unit that simulates inspection in accordance with assumed inspection content; an inspection standard calculation unit that calculates an inspection standard more appropriate than a current inspection standard based on the simulation; and an output unit that outputs base information indicating that at least the inspection standard calculated by the inspection standard calculation unit is more appropriate than the current inspection standard.
