Abstract
[PROBLEM] To provide an environment in which multiple factories can individually manage information about production and manufacturing and can smoothly share or link the information. [SOLVING MEANS] An information management system according to an embodiment is based on the assumption that each of cooperating factories holds a manufacturing plan based on a production management plan, a goods arrival plan about procurement from the other cooperating factories, and achievements from the manufacturing plan and the goods arrival plan, and includes an existing manufacturing management system which independently manages plans and achievements of manufacturing in the factory. The information management system includes a storage apparatus configured to store, for each of the factories, a production request data model, a production instruction data model, and a goods arrival planning data model; a data accumulation management apparatus configured to structure the plans and the achievements of manufacturing acquired thorough the manufacturing management systems in the factories into the data models according to a predetermined data structure definition template; and an information management apparatus configured to refer to information about the plans and achievements of manufacturing in the other factories via the data models.
