ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention provide a production control apparatus and a method capable of reducing the management load and providing improved convenience. In one embodiment, a control unit assigns an identifier to each unit variation (or each candidate) for each unit to be assembled in a sub-process (or a portion) of the manufacturing process of a product, each unit variation being defined based on requested specifications. Furthermore, the control unit generates and outputs a production plan table that includes sub-identifiers and component identifiers, the sub-identifiers facilitating production planning, the component identifiers being assigned to components used to manufacture each unit variation.
