Wire and wire harness order reception and production system

Abstract

Provided is an order-receiving production system and so on of a wire and wiring harness, by which the cost of the wire and a product using the wire can be prevented from increasing and the resource-saving can be attained. An order-receiving production systemof a wiring harness includes a wire-producing department, a wiring harness-assembling departmentand a production control department. The production control departmentforwards a first ordered quantity data D, second ordered quantity data Dand third ordered quantity data D, each data meeting the received ordered data D, to a resin-producing department, core wire-producing departmentand additive-producing department, respectively. The departmentsandproduce a pellet, core wire and additive with the respective necessary amount, respectively, and send them to the wire-producing department. The wire-producing departmentextrudes a mixture of the pellets and additive onto a circumference of the core wire while simultaneously mixing the pellets and additive so that the core wire is coated with the mixture, and sends the wire produced to the wiring harness-assembling departmentfor assembling a wiring harness.
