Abstract
A unit and method for dispatching setup-change instructions and the production system. The unit comprises a work-in-progress information input section, a production information input section, a production unit information input section and a control unit. The method for setup-change instruction is achieved by the steps of creating production phase data, updating production phase data and dispatching instructions about the timing of changing the setup of each production unit. The production system comprises a production line, a setup-change instruction unit and a setup-change unit.
