The production of semiconductor devices manufactured through a plurality of manufacturing
sites is unitarily managed and an appropriate production plan is instructed. A
computer projects a production plan of an entire company based on various information.
The production plan is provided to each manufacturing site as a production instruction
and provided to each business person or customer as a storing reply or an order
accepting period reply. If the projected production plan (possible production volume)
does not coincide with a production plan (necessary production volume), parameters
obtained by correcting production allocation, production capability, lead time,
yield and the like are re-input from a parameter input terminal. Based on the corrected
parameters, the computer re-projects the production plan and projects an optimum
production plan.
