Abstract

The parts supply instruction apparatus includes a production schedule system, a parts information system, a car information system, and an order issue managing system which are preferably located at an assembly factory. The order issue managing system scans a parts master file and extracts required data therefrom relating to parts to be ordered to produce order issue data. The order issue data is sent to a received order managing system which is located at a parts supply factory. The type of parts supply order system operated by the apparatus can be changed between the production schedule system, the part information system and the car information system merely by changing a designation parameter corresponding to a respective system, inserted in an order type column of the parts master file.
