Method and system for handling batch production within ansi/isa/95 production scheduling extended with batch production parameter historian

We add a new entity Production Parameter History to the ISA-95 Production Schedule Model, thereby extending the model. The new entity stores the recent history of the values assumed by a subset of batch parameters most relevant for production control and resource planning, thus without the ERP system being charged with retrieving the historian from a log or from a warehouse in order to schedule the plant production. Putting together the batch information present in the ISA-95 Segment Requirement and the new Production Parameter History, the MES creates and stores a fully Electronic Batch Record close to a real situation found during product manufacturing. The MES system can provide the Electronic Batch Record to the ERP system through the ISA-95 Production Performance model extended thereof, since a production performance report is made up of a set of one or more Production Responses associated with Production Requests.

The recommended-to-be-examined element recognition section displays a model of the item group by highlighting the element for which the manufacturing condition is recommended to be examined for changes. 1. An automatic estimation method for determining a price or a delivery date of an item group configured by a plurality of items by a computer having a CPU , the automatic estimation method comprising the steps of:recognizing the items included in the item group by the computer;acquiring by the computer, for each of the items, the price or the delivery date of the item for each of manufacturing conditions selectable at a time of manufacturing the item;recognizing by the computer, a designated condition designated from the manufacturing conditions;determining by the computer, a first price or a first delivery date of the item group on the basis of the price or the delivery date of the item corresponding to the designated condition;recognizing an asking price or an asking delivery date of the item group by the computer;recognizing by the computer, a fixed condition selected from the manufacturing conditions;calculating by the computer, for each of the manufacturing conditions, a variation value of the price or the delivery date of the item group, to be determined in a ...
