ABSTRACT:
At a first step, there is retrieved, out of the products placed in the production line, each product for which the j.sub.n (i)th process of each product i, i.e., each process P(i, j.sub.n (i)), has not yet been executed but for which each process P(i, j.sub.n (i)-1) serving as the previous process of each process P(i, j.sub.n (i)), has been executed. At a second step, (i) there are retrieved, for each product retrieved at the first step, one or more processable processes each of which can be executed subsequent to each process P(i, j.sub.n (i)-1), (ii) there are also calculated the sum totals of the production costs of the products i or the sum totals of the delivery delay terms of the products i at the time when one or more processes out of the retrieved one or more processable processes are executed subsequent to the process P(i, j.sub.n (i)-1), (iii) and there are selected, as one or more subsequent processes, the one or more processable processes corresponding to the smallest sum total of the production costs of the products i or to the smallest sum total of the delivery delay terms of the products i. At a third step, there is prepared a production program for executing, subsequent to each process P(i, j.sub.n (i)-1), each of the one or more processable processes selected by the second step.
