Abstract

A method and computer system for controlling an industrial process are disclosed. The industrial process has problems which adversely affect its performance. A personal computer is programmed with a database and a custom application. The database contains data describing the attributes and performance of the process to be controlled. The custom application calculates the financial value of each of the problems. The calculation of the financial value of each problem can take into account market conditions which affect the amount of product which could be sold if made, the marginal profitability of the product, how much optimum process time each problem takes up and the cost and quantity of raw materials wasted due to the problem. The calculation of the financial value of each problem can take into account the impact of each problem on the process bottleneck. The financial values of the problems are used to prioritise the problems, allowing them to be remedied in accordance with their priority.

Description

Be used to control the method and system of production run
Technical field
The present invention relates to control, particularly to the control of manufacture process to production run.
Background technology
A typical industrial manufacturing plant relates to the production run of many production products.Each production run is made up of many sub-production runes.A fundamental purpose of factory management is that (near optimum performance ground) makes plant operation as far as possible effectively, makes the price of product minimum.Yet it is not uncommon that a factory does not turn round best.These can be because of many different former thereby generations.One or more problems can cause many difficulties in production run or "the philosophers," referring to the philosophers or their works, outside the Confucianists's production run.For example, outage may make all production runes all stop.The obstruction of a bottle lid slideway can cause many bottles of not adding a cover in a bottled factory, thereby needs an extra operator manually to add upper cover for these bottles.In the manufacturing plant of all complexity of today, may there be the problem of thousands of operating aspects, make performance depart from best level.Because the resource that addresses these problems is not unlimited many, so which type of problem administrative authority usually solves about this and with which type of order solve these problems and face difficult choice.
Utilize existing technology, can follow the tracks of the performance of industrial processes by following method:
1. calculate the efficient (i.e. the ratio of Shi Ji output and really possible output) of production run;
2. determine the reason (even all the name of the games and duration that key link stops) of shut-down;
3. determine labour's variation (i.e. between direct labour's expense Shi Ji direct labour's expense and budget or that plan poor);
4. determine raw-material variation (i.e. between the raw materials consumption Shi Ji raw materials consumption and budget or that plan poor); With
5. determine the degree (i.e. unaccepted product quantity in making production run or when manufacture process is finished) of waste product
In these methods each all is defective.Particularly, neither one attempts to calculate the real expense financially of an independent problem in these methods of prior art, and they do not calculate the total expenses of all problems that influences industrial processes yet.So if adopt the method for all prior arts, then the administrative authority of factory can not distribute all resources with an effective and efficient manner.
The present invention is exactly these and other many defectives that will solve prior art.
Announcement of the present invention
The present invention includes and be used for a method and a system that a production run of producing product is controlled, make it can be with the performance operation of the best to this production run design, this method comprises following all steps:

D. "the philosophers," referring to the philosophers or their works, outside the Confucianists's production run card:
Each production run can be resolved into "the philosophers," referring to the philosophers or their works, outside the Confucianists's production run.Sub-production run is a logic step or the equipment with in process of production, and this equipment is a machine typically, for example, be used for potato pack into can filler or be used for to the add salt tank of potato chips with salt.Though in a production run, have many different sub-production runes, have only those relevant sub-production runes to be identified and to be included in the plant model.All relevant sub-production runes comprise:
The sub-production run of speed critical link: this is the sub-production run that minimum maximal rate is arranged, so be the sub-rate process of maximum speed limit.Must this sub-production run of simulation.
Output key link subprocess: this is the sub-production run of limit production process yield in the most of the time.It can be identical with the sub-production run of speed critical link.The sub-production run of output key link is the sub-production run that maximum key link speed and the minimum product of number percent rise time are arranged.Simulating this process chooses wantonly.
The subprocess of all nearly key links: these are approaching or usually are all subprocess of output key link.Simulating this process chooses wantonly.
Getting back to the potato packaging process, is can filler for the speed critical link subprocess of 1 pound of can production run K1.It also is the key link of output.For 2 pounds of can production run K2 situations is identical.In the section production line, the key link of speed is a deep fryer for light potato chips, is to add salt tank for the potato chips with salt.For simplicity, in this example, we do not have all other subprocess at supposition.
Simulate each production run and be included in the relevant sub-production process information of input in the sub-production run card 40, as shown in Figure 8.The user selects production runes (production line of for example cutting into slices) with drop-down list 401, and selects the variant potato chips of salt (for example with) of production runes manufacturings with drop-down territory 402.The sub-production run of drop-down list 403 input (for example add salt tank-be speed critical link subprocess in this situation) maybe can be from a sub-process name inventory chooser process.Show that in drop-down list 404 shut down time, the reason group name claimed, drop-down list 404 comprises a reason group inventory (as the input the described all reasons for shut down time in specific subprocess) in the content relevant with Figure 10.The percentage of 405 input key links in the territory.This is the turnout percentage by specific key link subprocess.For example, if two parallel can fillers form a key link, then each loader all will be the part of key link.In example shown in Figure 8, add the turnout that the salt tank subprocess is represented 100% key link.
Be used for for all subprocess K1, the data of the speed critical link subprocess of each are as shown in the table in K2 and all slicing processes:
The production run title: K1 K2 K2 K2 The section production line The section production line
The variant title: 1 pound of can 1 pound of can 2 pounds of cans 3 pounds of cans Light With salt
Sub-production run title: The K1 can filler The K2 can filler The K2 can filler The K2 can filler Deep fryer Add salt tank
The % of key link: 100 100 100 100 100 100

G. all connection reason groups:
After the data of all different reason groups of input definition, all reason groups can be added on all variants and the "the philosophers," referring to the philosophers or their works, outside the Confucianists's production run.We remember when describing variant index card 36 (seeing also Fig. 7), all reason groups territory are not discussed.All reason groups territory among Fig. 7 (be overstaffed 372, move 373 slowly, key link waste product 374 and waste of raw materials 376) is all drop-down menus, and they allow the user to select a known reason group in the input of reason group card.In Figure 11, illustrated all reason groups have been added on all variants.For all subprocess similar all reason groups are arranged, they are added on all subprocess with like all subprocess screen classes as shown in figure 12.
H. all sets of numbers:
Typically with the production unit of finishing or part is finished (for example all potato cans or adorn the chest of all cans) report waste product.So need provide one at spoiled goods report position (" WRU Pv") and the waste starting material (" WasteQtyp Vsd") between conversion factor (" WRUtoRUp Vsd").The definition of all reason sets of numbers provides this conversion factor.
Must be used for reason sets of numbers of definition between the reason group of all waste of raw materials problems and each starting material at each.In the situation of potato processing and package plant, producing variant for each all has two starting material.Unless data are identical, all need a reason sets of numbers for each starting material of each variant.
The user clicks on sets of numbers index card 44.Referring now to Figure 13.Drop-down list 441 comprises the title (seeing also Figure 10) of all reason groups that defined.The title of 442 input sets of numbers in the territory.Table 443 is made up of each reason in the reason group of regulation in territory 441.The definition (row 427) of setting up among the next comfortable Figure 10 in spoiled goods report position (row 444).Unique input data are WRUtoRUp Vsd, be input to row 445.
K1 and K2 production line for described potato processing and package plant need four waste product reason sets of numbers.For all cans is two (that is, one for 2 pounds of cans and one for 3 pounds of cans) and be two for potato.These are as table 10, shown in 11 and 12.

I. all reason sets of numbers are added to plant model:
With reference to Figure 14.The all reason sets of numbers imported on the sets of numbers screen that to just describe with starting material card 38 are added on the plant model.Select waste product reason sets of numbers with drop-down list 387.And it is added on the plant model with the navigation menu bar.
2. the input of production process data
After having set up a model of production run or factory, next step is the input data relevant with the actual performance of production run or factory.For each production run, the staff of factory will be for each variant input data.Four class data are arranged: (1) production data; (2) shut down time data; (3) yield data and (4) waste product data.
On main screen 20, click indicator device, the task of leaving behind menu 26 on the Task (task) 24 of operator in menu bar 22.Referring to Fig. 3.He clicks on production data input icon 25 then.This sets up data entry screen curtain 60 as shown in figure 15.The operator selects order of classes or grades at school (for example afternoon shift) in drop-down list 601 then, imports data (for example 1/1) in territory 602, selects production run (for example K1 production line) and select variant (for example 1 pound of can) in drop-down list 603 in drop-down list 604.For four class data (1) production datas; (2) shut down time data; (3) each class in yield data and (4) waste product data has the index card 610,620,630 and 640 of a correspondence respectively.
Click (seeing also Figure 15) allows the operator to import production data on the index card 610 producing.In every kind of situation, the operator will be in the territory 611 inputs for actual the hourage (" APH of relevant order of classes or grades at school by personnel's group performance production run Vsd") (for example 8 hours).The speed (" ABS of the key link of the reality of the speed of 612 input production runes in the territory-represent with units per hour Vsd") (for example 800), 613 inputs are with the output (" O of unit representation in the territory Vsd") (for example 5,00), actual operating personnel's quantity (" ACS of 614 inputs in the territory Vsd") (for example 25).Then, the operator selects an overstaffed reason and a reason of moving slowly with drop-down list 615 and 616.See also Fig. 7, territory 372 and 373.
With reference to Figure 16, the operator clicks index card 620 shut down time, input and data relevant with shutdown times shut down time in the specific production run process of a variant.For same order of classes or grades at school, on the date, production run and the variant of just having selected can be imported many shut down times of clauses and subclauses.Shut down time, index card 620 comprised the table 621 that is used for that purpose.Table 621 has a sub-production run drop-down list 622, and it allows for process of selecting and variant, from sub-production run of sub-production run group selection of definition sub-production run screen 40 (seeing also Fig. 8).Making the suitable reason group for sub-production run then is available for all shut-down reason groups.Then, the user selects a reason-code (in reason group screen curtain 42 inputs) (seeing also Figure 10) from drop-down list 623, and it is added on the specific sub-production run in sub-production run screen 40 (seeing also Figure 12).After having selected a sub-production run and reason-code, the operator can import (" DT shut down time respectively in territory 624 and 625 now Pvsd") shutdown times.For the variant of selecting on the order of classes or grades at school of selecting to repeating this operation all shut down times of on all sub-production runes, having taken place.
Figure 17 represents output index card 630.Click the starting material quantity that this card allows to import the production run that is used to select.For identical order of classes or grades at school, on the date, production run and the variant of just having selected can be by clicking the starting material that drop-down list 632 in table 630 selects for a specific variants one to define (" starting material title).This inventory comprises all starting material of the variant that is used to select.In the starting material screen, defined this inventory (seeing also Fig. 9).Each raw-material quantity (" RL that will be used for the production run of the variant on the order of classes or grades at school of selecting, selected Vsd") input row 632.
Figure 18 represents waste product data index card 640.Clicking this card allows input to be used for the data of waste of raw materials and key link waste product.For identical order of classes or grades at school, the date, production run and the variant of just having selected, the drop-down list 641 of the code (seeing also Figure 10) that all that can list former input by click have defined is selected waste product reason groups (seeing also Fig. 7, territory 374).In case selected reason-code, automatically loaded the description of waste product reason.Referring to row 642.Raw-material quantity (" WasteQty with waste Pvsd") import row 643 and the waste product frequency is imported row 644.All starting material and the waste product problem that takes place when producing variant on specific date and order of classes or grades at school repeated this operation.
3. all problems in a production run are set up the priority list of problem
We have simulated factory or production run and have imported relevant performance data now.The operator clicks the printed report icon 27 (seeing also Fig. 3) in main screen 20 now.This operation begins the priority list of computational problem and it is printed.
Be the detailed description of calculating of the priority list of problem below.With reference to Figure 19, in the evolution of the priority list of problem, 10 basic steps are arranged, that is:
1. set up " the available saving of being produced restriction is shown ".Step S10.
2. be evaluated at during the underlying table too much personnel's part (XCLL$ of a problem p among the BTP Pn).Step S12.5 week typically during the underlying table.
3. be evaluated at the production run part shut down time (DT$ of a problem p among the BTP Pn).Step S14.
4. be evaluated at production run slow working time of the part (SR$ of a problem p among the BTP Pn).Step S16.
5. be evaluated among the BTP because the (BW$ loss of time of key link waste product (unaccepted product in the sub-production run of key link or after the sub-production run of key link) the part producing process of a problem p Pn).Step S18.
6. be evaluated at the waste starting material part (RW$ of a problem p among the BTP Pn).Step S20.
7. will in BTP, the total value of problem p add up.Step S22.
With extrapolation method ask one 1 year the time interim problem p expense.Step S24.
9. for all problems repeating step 1 to 8 that in BTP, takes place in process of production.Step S26 and S28.
10. with total value all problems is stored so that the report of the priority that has problems is printed report and adjusted production run according to the value of all problems.Step S30.
11. we will be described in detail in these steps each now.
1. set up " the available saving of being produced restriction is shown ".
If production run does not have the efficient work with 100%, then, will allow to make all extra unit of variant in order to make production run reach 100% efficient.If these units can be sold away (that is, production run is " being produced restriction "), then will cause extra profit.If these units can not be sold away (that is, production run is " being sold restriction "), the efficient of then improving process will cause producing with the less time unit of equal number, so just reduced labour cost.
The available saving table of being produced restriction is with 100% effective all chronomeres of work, and promptly the number of minutes that carries out work in production run (" BTP ") during the underlying table in as expecting is analyzed process.It preferentially during the underlying table 5 week.In case done like this,, can also waste what such units with problem each problem is assessed except how many starting material are problem wasted and working time.
When first step, we calculate in BTP the 100% quantity PCM of all units that effectively works (or " optimal process time ") that can use for process nInstant value PCM$ with these units nThe available saving table of being produced restriction that is stored in the database 15 is discerned each variant that can sell out overhead provision in BTP (being each variant of being produced restriction), the quantity PCins of the optimal process time that needs for the amount of production exterior capacity VnAnd the value PCMins$ of the per minute of that process time VnTo use these values in all steps afterwards, so as expense evaluation problem and production loss, the relevant part of loss profit that can produce from the sale of all extra units.
With reference to Figure 20.Following calculating PCU Vn, the quantity of the overhead provision of a variant v that can in BTP, sell.Obtain the output O of variant v among BTP from database 15 VnIf number percent PC% with their manufactured all unit that come out just may sell v-be represented as a number percent of current production.By with PC% vMultiply by O VnFind PCU VnStep S40.
Below, by with PCU VnMultiply by the boundary profit UMP of unit of variant v vAll extra unit value (gross profit) PCU$ of the variant v that calculating can be sold VnStep S42.Unit boundary profit UMP in step S44 calculating vBe the selling price USP of unit that all is stored in a variant in the database 15 vWith the break-even manufacturing cost UMC of unit vBetween poor.
Then, by selling the quantity PCU of all extra variants VnDivided by maximum key link speed MBS for specific variant v(being stored in the database 15) is calculated as and produces the optimum process time PCMins that all extra variants need VnStep S46.
At last, calculate each optimal process time (minute) value PCMins$ VnIf it is used to produce the extra sale capacity of variant v.By value PCU$ with all extra units of variant v VnDivided by the optimal process time PCMins that needs for those extra variants of production VnAccomplish this point.Step S48.
Repeat these steps and set up the available saving of being produced restriction and show for all variants of producing in during underlying table.Step S50.Shown in step S50 with one reduce each optimal process time (minute) value PCMins$ VnOrder all variants are arranged in the table.This table has four row, i.e. variant identification v, for optimal process time of variant v (minute) value PCMins$ VnWith the optimal process time that can be used for producing variant v (minute) quantity PCMins VnThe 4th row, all excess times (minute), be empty in this stage, but will use it later on.
2. the overstaffed part of a problem p in being evaluated at during the underlying table:
With reference to Figure 21.An important step when the overstaffed part of a problem of assessment is to determine during underlying table for variant v because the labor hours XCLL that overstaffed problem p is total PvnBy at first determining in a production run because the working time of overstaffed loss (hour) XCLL Pvsd, during underlying table, it is added up then and accomplishes this point.By finding the personal best to count OCS vCount ACS with actual person VsdBetween difference and it be multiply by in production run actual process time of APH to all variant v operations VsdDetermine XCLL PvsdStep S52.When process is simulated with OCS vBe stored in the database 15 and when production run finishes, obtain actual person and count ACS VsdActual process time of APH with operation VsdAnd with they input databases.Determining in the production run because the total labor hours XCLL that overstaffed problem causes PvsdAfter, by the XCLL in all order of classes or grades at school in will be during underlying table and the fate PvsdAdd up and find during underlying table for a variant because problem p causes XCLL in total too much working time PvnStep S54.Then by will be in process of production for the XCLL of all variants PvnAdd up and find labor hours XCLL for total loss of whole process of production PnStep S56.
By with XCLL PnMultiply by total labour productivity AULR for process (being stored in the database 15 when the dummy run phase in advance) assessment because the XCLL$ in working time of the loss that overstaffed problem causes PnStep S58.
3. assess shut down time, slowly operation and key link waste product problem:
A typical production run has three source-shut down times (promptly when production run stops fully) of losing process time, slowly operation (promptly when production run is moved with the speed lower than iptimum speed) and key link waste product are (when produce product in the speed critical link, but in the time of must be scrapped, so just wasted process time).
That the mode of assessment of loss process time and production run are produced restriction or sold restriction relevant.A production run is produced restriction when company can sell the more products that can produce than it.A production run is sold restriction when company can not sell any product of Duoing that can produce than it.If production run is produced restriction, then can utilize go to make extra product the process time of some or all loss, if production run has been operated on its optimum level.So, the process time of the boundary profit assessment of loss of the enough additional product of energy.Suppose that production run just is being operated on its optimum level, can accomplish this point by the value of determining a chronomere.If process is sold restriction, then can be enough from process time of the saving assessment of loss that improves the labour cost that production run efficient obtains.
In any case, with a process time that is called the method assessment of loss of " loss cost of products Evaluation Method ", this method is also referred to as " Evaluation Method of being produced restriction " at first, and it is the module of an application program 13.Loss cost of products Evaluation Method with the boundary profit assess loss as much as possible process time (minute) and export the value of the process time of losing.
A. lose the cost of products Evaluation Method:
Implement data in the saving table of being produced restriction that the program module of loss cost of products Evaluation Method will describe and one in the above because the optimal process time of problem p loss (minute) amount OPM PnAs input.All output of program module be the loss of input process time (minute) all or part of maximal value OPM$ PnAnd when algorithm finishes also the process time of not evaluated loss (minute) amount OPMR Pn
With reference to Figure 22, all basic steps in loss cost of products Evaluation Method are:
1. with the row PCMins of the available saving table of being produced restriction VnThe new row that are called RemMins (promptly remaining all minute) of all content replications in.Step S60.
To the loss the optimal process time (minute) value carry out initialization, it is equalled zero (is OPM$ Pn=0).Step S62.
3. determine the position of variant in the available saving table of being produced restriction, the time of being produced restriction of this variant (minute) value PCMins$ VnMaximum and its RemMins value are greater than zero.Step S64.If there is not such variant, then finish assessment (being that variant is sold restriction).Program output OPMR Pn, otherwise program is proceeded.Step S66.
4. for the variant of in step S64, selecting, determine the evaluated optimal process time (minute) amount OPM PnWith among the RemMins less one.Because these times (minute) produced restriction, so this is called as " available optimal process time (minute) " UOPM Pn-can produce the more variant that can sell with them.Step S68.
With the available optimal process time (minute) UOPM PnMultiply by minute value PCMmins$ that is produced restriction, and product is added to the optimal process time (minute) value OPM$ PnOn.Step S70.
From the input loss the optimal process time (minute) OPM PnWith two values in all RemMins row derive the available optimal process time (minute) UOPM PnStep S72.
If the optimal process time (minute) OPM PnWith the RemMins both greater than zero, then get back to step S64.Step S74 and S76.Otherwise finish assessment, the optimal process time of output loss (minute) value OPM$ PnWith optimal process time of remainder (minute) OPMR Pn(being that those are also not evaluated).Step S78.
B. be evaluated at production run part shut down time of a problem p among the BTP:
One shut down time problem expense form by two parts.First also is that most important parts occurs in and can utilize the place of going to produce the unit that more can sell originally lost time originally.If there are not or have only some units to sell, then the remaining part of loss shut down time is the labour's expense when production run stops.
Referring now to Figure 23.The first step be determine in BTP since production run lost how many optimal process time shut down time (hour).From database retrieval one day and one class for variant v because DT shut down time that problem causes Pvsd(it is input when finishing for one class).Step S80.In BTP, this is added up, provide DT shut down time for a variant v owing to problem p PvnStep S82.By with DT PvnMultiply by in BTP real process efficiency TPE for a specific variant Vn, find during underlying table in for variant v since from optimal process time of loss shut down time of a problem p (hour) quantity D TOP PvnProcess S84.
Real process efficiency is for the processing hourage OPH of the best of variant v in BTP VnDivided by processing hourage APH actual in BTP VnStep S88.At data input phase input APH VnBy will be in BTP the output O of variant VnKey link speed MBS divided by maximum vFind OPH VnStep S86.
Repeat this process for all variants.By with the DTOP on all variants PvnAdd up and find because the processing hourage DTOP of the best of the total loss of problem p shut down time PnStep S90.With these minutes value be input in the program module of loss cost of products Evaluation Method and and assess them.Step S92.See also Figure 22.
The second portion of shut down time loss be loss working time (hour).By in BTP will the working time in each production run (hour) loss add up find the loss working time (hour).For loss working time of a production run (hour) with shut down time problem whether also be to change in that operating overstaffed problem relevantly.If shut down time, problem also was an overstaffed problem, then the loss working time of shut down time (hour) DTLL Pvn1Be because DT shut down time that problem p causes Pvsd, actual personnel amount ACS VsdWith real process efficiency TPE VnProduct.Step S96.If shut down time, problem was not an overstaffed problem, then the loss working time of shut down time (hour) DTLL Pvn2Be because DT shut down time that problem p causes Pvsd, best personnel amount ACS VsdWith real process efficiency TPE VnProduct.Step S96.Calculate these values for each production run, and with they add up provide for a specific problem in BTP for the work loss DTLL of total shut down time of variant v PvnStep S98.Then with the DTLL of all variants PvnAdd up, provide because the work loss DTLL of total shut down time that problem p causes PnStep S100.
We will remember the loss cost of products Evaluation Method program module output optimal process time of a shut down time (minute) value DTOPM$ PnWith since market situation decision to each variant can only sell that the such fact of fixed amount causes can not be evaluated a time quantum DTOPMR PnIn the following manner that those are remaining process time (minute) assess as the labor hours of loss.At first, step S102 by with the process time of remainder (minute) DTOPMR PnDivided by total loss DTOPM process time owing to shut down time, problem p caused Pn(calculating at step S90 in the past) determine remaining not loss working time of assessment (hour) ratio.The ratio DT of the shut down time that to not assess then PnMultiply by because the labour of total shut down time that problem p causes loses DTLL Pn, and then multiply by total labour productivity AULR for production run.Step S104.This has provided because the value DTLL$ of total work loss that shut down time, problem p caused Pn
On BTP shut down time problem p total value DT$ PnBe because the value DTOPM$ of optimum process the number of minutes of the loss that this problem causes PnValue DTLL$ with the work of losing PnAnd.Step S106.
C. the process that is evaluated at a problem p among the BTP is moved part slowly:
As one shut down time problem situation in, one is caused slowly the problem of operation that two possible expense parts are arranged: the expense of the expense of loss product and waste work.
, must find when BTP owing to move the expense of the product loss that causes slowly in order to assess owing to the problem optimal process total amount of the loss of time.For single production run operation, how many production units of variant v find because the optimal process time of a slow operation problem loss because problem can not be produced by at first determining.
By obtaining and DT for adding up total shut down time of all problems Vn(the step S108 in Figure 23) is with this with divided by APH process time of the reality in BTP VnDeduct this result from 1 again and find proportional production run uptime UT when production run is moved VnStep S110, Figure 23.
At first proportional production run uptime multiply by actual APH process time by will work as production run the time VsdCalculating is for the optimal process time of variant v owing to slow operation problem p loss.The result be multiply by the maximum key link speed MBS of the variant of production run vKey link speed ABS with reality VsdBetween poor.By with the result divided by maximum key link speed MBS vMultiply by actual production run efficient TPE then Vn, the result is converted to the optimal process time SROPM of loss PvsdStep S120.See also Figure 24.
The production run of identical slow operation problem takes place then with SROPM for all in BTP PvsdAdd up, be given among the BTP because the optimal process time SROPM of the total loss of slow operation problem p PnStep S122.
In order to assess SROPM Pn, we send it into loss cost of products Evaluation Method program module, as shown in figure 22.Step S124.Because the value of the resulting loss product that slow operation problem causes is SROPM$ Pn(promptly lose the output OPM$ of cost of products Evaluation Method program module Pn).If there is the not optimal process time SROPMR of the loss of assessment of any remainder Pn(promptly lose the output OPMR of cost of products Evaluation Method program module PnGreater than zero), then in a kind of mode that will be described now as the working time of loss it being assessed.
