    摘要: A continuous manufacturing system continuously manufactures a product from a powder of a raw material. The system includes a first processing device that performs first processing on the powder of the raw material; a second processing device that performs second processing on the powder on which the first processing device has performed the first processing; and an inspection and sorting device including an inspection chamber into which powder sent from the first processing device flows. When a prescribed amount of the powder has accumulated in the inspection chamber, the inspection and sorting device inspects the powder inside the inspection chamber after blocking a path connecting the first processing device to the inspection chamber. When the inspection ends, the inspection and sorting device removes the blocking after discharging the powder from inside the inspection chamber.

    摘要: A production system for producing products from raw materials by a production process with several steps has a number of production facilities that perform the steps and a control device. The control device determines a control target value by referring to information about group combinations specified in accordance with the relative merits of the manufacturing condition routes followed by respective lots during the production process. The routes are respectively set for a number of groups that are classified on the basis of raw material properties formed of a combination of property items of one or more types of raw materials. The relative merits of the routes are determined on the basis of quality items of the lots, classified for inter-step combinations of groups, which are classified on the basis of manufacturing conditions at the steps.
