Abstract:
A facility management unit includes a facility information collection part, a supply replenishment determination part, an inventory information confirmation part, and a transport command part. The facility information collection part collects supply information indicating the consumption status of supplies for each manufacturing facility in real time. The supply replenishment determination part determines the presence or absence of manufacturing facilities that require replenishment with supplies and determines the order of replenishment with supplies for all the manufacturing facilities that require replenishment with supplies. The transport command part indicates a transport path, along which the supplies are sequentially transported from a storage facility to the manufacturing facilities according to the order of replenishment with supplies, to a transport facility.
