Rotation Planning Apparatus and Rotation Planning System

Abstract

An apparatus or system is used for planning the rotation of part usage between shafts or plants based at least on schedule information relating to operation and inspection-purpose shutdown, attribute information relating to part life, part maintenance periods, and other part attributes, and part information relating to the parts to be used in the rotation.

1 . A rotation planning apparatus comprising:
 an operation planning means for setting up an operation plan for a plurality of shafts or plants and outputting the operation plan; and   a maintenance plan means for setting up a maintenance plan based on the operation plan for the plurality of shafts or plants outputted from the operation planning means and providing an output for implementing a rotation plan.   
     
     
         2 . The rotation planning apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an inspection history storage means for storing historical damage information of parts at inspections and outputting the historical damage information;   a part history storage means for storing historical information of the parts, such as an hour of use of the parts and a kind of carried-out maintenance, and outputting the historical information; and   a maintenance details estimation means for estimating contents of maintenance in said operation plan based on the historical damage information from the inspection history storage means and the historical information from the part history storage means.   
     
     
         3 . The rotation planning apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the operation planning means sets up the operation plan also based on the output of the maintenance plan means. 
     
     
         4 . The rotation planning apparatus as set forth in  claim 3 , further comprising:
 an inspection history storage means for storing historical damage information of parts at inspections and outputting the historical damage information;   a part history storage means for storing historical information of the parts, such as an hour of use of the parts and a kind of carried-out maintenance, and outputting the historical information; and   a maintenance details estimation means for estimating contents of maintenance in said operation plan based on the historical damage information from the inspection history storage means and the historical information from the part history storage means.   
     
     
         5 . The rotation planning apparatus as set forth in  claim 4 , further comprising display means for displaying at least one of the historical damage information from the inspection history storage means and the historical information from the part history storage means. 
     
     
         6 . The rotation planning apparatus as set forth in  claim 5 , further comprising a stock control plan setup means for setting up a stock control plan based on the operation plan.
