Abstract

A schedule table production system includes a product table file in which a table of product names to be produced is stored, a work procedure file including a work table in which each work process with a weight added thereto is stored, a relational table in which sequence of processes is stored, a schedule file including a process table in which a start date and an end date of each work process are established, and a relational table in which a sequence of processes is stored. The system includes a schedule editing processor for calculating and editing a schedule of each work process from start and end dates of the whole work process on the basis of the weight of each work process, to automatically produce a schedule table used for producing the product.
