Abstract
Recently, concerns on CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) have been raised and legal regulations for the environment have spread. Companies are required to disclose how the production activities give influences on the environment. Under this situation, information management systems that can manage chemical substances included not only in the final product, but also intermediate products, byproducts and consumed energy, are required. Such systems must be able to trace each lot from products up to composing materials and vice versa for risk management. The purposes of this research are to design a process and product model for batch production, and to develop a prototype of a batch production information management system that can accommodate environmental CSR. We first designed a model as a set of process elements that contain substance and energy information that is required for accommodating environmental CSR. Then, we developed a system on Object-Relational database management system, and verified traceability that specifies material lot number from product lot number.
