- Claim: 1. A component warehousing support apparatus that supports warehousing of a component into each of a plurality of component storages in which a warehoused component is stored and from which a component is delivered in response to a request, comprising: processing circuitry configured to acquire a stock quantity indicating a number of target components to be warehoused, which are actually stored in each of the component storages, for each of the plurality of component storages; and calculate warehousing destination candidate information indicating a candidate of a warehousing destination of the target component from among the plurality of component storages, on the basis of the stock quantity of the target component in each of the plurality of component storages.
- Claim: 2. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the warehousing destination candidate information indicates each of the plurality of component storages as the candidate, with priority calculated on the basis of the stock quantity of the target component in each of the plurality of component storages.
- Claim: 3. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the priority on the basis of a result obtained by calculating a difference between an ideal number which is the ideal number of target components stored in the component storages and the stock quantity of the target component, for each of the plurality of component storages.
- Claim: 4. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to calculate an average value of the stock quantities of the target component in the plurality of component storages, as the ideal number of the target component which is common to the plurality of component storages.
- Claim: 5. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to acquire a plurality of production plans each for producing a predetermined type of component-mounted board by mounting a component on a board, associates the plurality of production plans with different component storages, respectively, and calculate the ideal number of the target component in the component storage on the basis of the number of target components to be mounted on the boards in the production plan corresponding to the component storage.
- Claim: 6. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to acquire details of a setup operation for setting a component at each of a plurality of component setting positions included in a component supply trolley, at each of which the component is settable, divides the plurality of component setting positions into a plurality of divisions corresponding to the different component storages, and calculate the ideal number of the target component in the component storage on the basis of the number of target components to be set at the component setting positions belonging to the division corresponding to the component storage.
- Claim: 7. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to calculate the ideal number of the target component in the component storage on the basis of a result obtained by calculating the number of components to be stored into each of the plurality of component storages on the basis of a plan to store in advance two component holding members in different component storages, the two component holding members being to be replenished to a feeder in response to two-times component shortages expected to occur in succession when a component held by a component holding member holding a component is supplied by each of a plurality of feeders and mounted on a board.
- Claim: 8. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the warehousing destination candidate information indicates one optimal component storage as the candidate of the warehousing destination among the plurality of component storages.
- Claim: 9. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a display configured to display the candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component, which is indicated by the warehousing destination candidate information, from among the plurality of component storages, to an operator.
- Claim: 10. A component warehousing support method for supporting warehousing of a component into each of a plurality of component storages in which a warehoused component is stored and from which the component is delivered in response to a request, comprising: acquiring, by processing circuitry, a stock quantity indicating the number of target components to be warehoused, which are actually stored in each of the component storages, for each of the plurality of component storages; and calculating, by the processing circuitry, warehousing destination candidate information indicating a candidate of a warehousing destination of the target component from among the plurality of component storages, on the basis of the stock quantity of the target component in each of the plurality of component storages.
- Claim: 11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a component warehousing support program for supporting warehousing of a component into each of a plurality of component storages in which a warehoused component is stored and from which the component is delivered in response to a request, which causes a computer to execute the processes of: acquiring a stock quantity indicating the number of target components to be warehoused, which are actually stored in each of the component storages, for each of the plurality of component storages; and calculating warehousing destination candidate information indicating a candidate of a warehousing destination of the target component from among the plurality of component storages, on the basis of the stock quantity of the target component in each of the plurality of component storages.
- Claim: 12. (canceled)
- Claim: 13. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising: a display configured to display the candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component, which is indicated by the warehousing destination candidate information, from among the plurality of component storages, to an operator.
- Claim: 14. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising: a display configured to display the candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component, which is indicated by the warehousing destination candidate information, from among the plurality of component storages, to an operator.
- Claim: 15. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising: a display configured to display the candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component, which is indicated by the warehousing destination candidate information, from among the plurality of component storages, to an operator.
- Claim: 16. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising: a display configured to display the candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component, which is indicated by the warehousing destination candidate information, from among the plurality of component storages, to an operator.
- Claim: 17. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising: a display configured to display the candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component, which is indicated by the warehousing destination candidate information, from among the plurality of component storages, to an operator.
- Claim: 18. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising: a display configured to display the candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component, which is indicated by the warehousing destination candidate information, from among the plurality of component storages, to an operator.
- Claim: 19. The component warehousing support apparatus according to claim 8, further comprising: a display configured to display the candidate of the warehousing destination of the target component, which is indicated by the warehousing destination candidate information, from among the plurality of component storages, to an operator.
