Dispatching

It refers to the control of processes of operation planning, giving operation order and controlling operations in the manufacturing site. In this case, an operation chart, as shown in the figure, is consistently used from the operation allocation to its completion, and since it is stuck into the control board, as the figure depicts, it is also called "SASHITATE (sticking)". Its purpose is to improve the operability by properly controlling the capacity of delivery date management. Thus the order delivery date, stock on hand, allocation of work in process, operation status of workers and machine/equipment are grasped as needed, and the operation planning is performed.
