INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT METHOD FOR PRODUCTION SALES ARTICLE

PURPOSE:To execute the stock management in an appropriate place, and to execute the integrated management by summing up intensively logical stocks, in a coupling point in which a request leadtime and a supply leadtime are balanced at every single article. CONSTITUTION:In a distribution structure whose position extends over both sides of the upstream and the downstream around a manufacturer's head office 23, a coupling point 20, a virtual production line 28 and a virtual warehouse 29 are set. The coupling point 20 is a point where a request leadtime and a supply leadtime are balanced at every single article in many stock positions extending from a raw material position (upstream side) to a customer (downstream side). Also, this coupling point 20 becomes a reference for summing up intensively logical stocks and executing a commodity plan of every single article for executing the ordering with the production side and the distribution to the actual stock position, and the stock control is executed, based on this point 20 as a reference. At the time of this stock control, the virtual production line 28 regards virtually parts manufacturer 21, a manufacture's plant 22 and a manufacturer's head office 23 as one in order to facilitate the management of the production side.
