Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an inventory of products such as plants, animals, fish, etc. whose properties change from moment to moment because the organism itself is a commodity or is a commodity of biological origin. Computer system for management.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a general rule, ordinary industrial products do not change their properties with the passage of time. Even for products that change over the long term, it is usually sufficient to store information on the production date of each product in an information database and judge the handling of each product based on this production date information. Is.

[0003] However, such as plants, animals, fish, etc., the organism itself is a product, or products derived from organisms such as vegetables, fruits, flowers, meat, etc., usually called fresh food, and flowers. In the case of products, the characteristics of the products change as the aging and decay processes proceed in a relatively short period of time. In addition, it goes through some storage process or processing process until it becomes the final product.

As a method of inventory management in the distribution of such products, a method similar to that of industrial products is adopted, and production date information and history information such as subsequent storage method are stored in an information database for each product. Can also be considered.

However, these products are distributed in large quantities in the market every day, and moreover, the products are processed during the distribution in the market, and the handling unit becomes smaller at any time. It is usually sold as the smallest unit that can be sold. In the middle of this process, one type of product may be configured using multiple types of raw materials, or multiple types of products may be configured from one type of raw material. In other words, unlike ordinary industrial products, the shape of the final product is finally determined when the end of logistics is approached.

In the inventory management in the distribution of such products, it is not realistic to input the history information for each individual product at any time, and even if the history information is held, The meaning of information in products tends to be unclear. In the first place, it is not decided what kind of final product will be in the middle of logistics. Therefore, it is very difficult to carry out inventory management by the same method as for ordinary industrial products.

On the other hand, since the characteristics of products change every moment even in stock, it is difficult to lower the product disposal rate and the stockout rate to a certain level in the distribution process. There is.

[0008] For example, commodities such as bananas and kiwifruit are harvested in an immature and hard state in the farms of the producing countries and imported into Japan in large quantities by ship. After that, additional ripening (ripening) storage in a room (muro) is required, and during or after the completion of the process, processing such as subdivision and packing are carried out and shipped. As a result of following this process,
It takes some time from harvest to sale. On the other hand, the characteristics of the product will change just by storing it, and the rate of change of the characteristics will increase as the product ages.
Then, if the timing of receiving orders and shipping is delayed by one day from the shipping plan at the stage of aging, the aging may be too advanced to use as a product, and the product must be discarded. Further, even if the number of orders for products increases from the shipping plan, it takes a certain amount of time to process the products until the product reaches a certain level of maturity.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to propose an inventory management system that enables inventory management by a computer in the distribution of goods with changes in properties. Another object is to propose an inventory management system that can reduce the stockout rate or disposal rate of such products as much as possible.

[0010]

According to the present invention, regarding the property that changes with the passage of time and characterizes the product, the data of the property of the product in the management database can be updated at any time in a fixed manner separately from the shipment and receipt of the product. rewrite. This allows
The state of the product on the database is always corresponded to the actual state of the product, which changes from moment to moment, and more accurate inventory management of the product is performed.

The present invention is a computer system for inventory management of products whose properties change with the passage of time, including a property information database storing information on the standard change tendency of the properties of the product, and an inventory of the product. A product that causes a property change, having an inventory information database that stores the number and property information, and a property information rewriting unit that rewrites the property information of the inventory information database as needed based on the information about the reference change tendency and the property information. Inventory management system. With this configuration, even for a product whose characteristics that characterize the product change over time, the state of the change can be reflected on the database, and accurate inventory management can be performed. In addition, since the change characteristics of different characteristics for each product can be reflected in the data on the database, it is possible to perform accurate inventory management.

A second aspect of the present invention is a computer system for inventory management of products whose properties change with the passage of time, and a property information database storing information on the reference change tendency of the properties of the product, and the product. The stock information database that stores the number of stocks and property information of the stock, and the correction information database that stores the correction information of the standard change tendency corresponding to the storage or processing pattern of the product, and the inventory information database is It has information for identifying the processing pattern selected at the time of saving or processing, and further, based on the information on the reference change tendency of the stock product, the property information, and the correction information, the property information of the stock information database. An inventory management system for products that change in properties, which has a property information rewriting means for rewriting . With this configuration, even if a product undergoes some processing in stock or is stored under different storage conditions for each product, it is possible to accurately reflect the change in the situation in the data on the database. You can

Further, it has a shipping plan information database storing a shipping plan of a product, the shipping plan and a shipping plan correcting means for correcting the shipping plan according to the order status of the product, and the corrected shipping plan. Accordingly, it is desirable to have inventory adjusting means for changing the processing pattern of the inventory of the product. With this configuration, even for products whose properties change over time, it is possible to change the inventory management status by accurately responding to changes in the order status, and reduce the product shortage rate and disposal rate. .

Further, it has a shipping plan information database storing a shipping plan of a product, the shipping plan and a shipping plan modifying means for modifying the shipping plan according to the order status of the product, and the modified shipping plan. Corresponding to the above, it is desirable to have an inventory adjusting means for changing the number of new arrivals of the product and changing the inventory processing pattern. With this configuration, it is possible to more accurately manage the inventory by adjusting the number of new goods received, and the out-of-stock rate and the disposal rate are reduced.

Further, it is desirable that the product is a fruit.
With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the out-of-stock rate and the disposal rate of the product by using it for fruits in which the maturity of the product is important.

[0016]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The system shown in FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of an example of the system of the present invention. Specifically, it is a system for managing the inventory of bananas.

Bananas are in a blue and immature state when imported from a producing country, and are subjected to aging processing (ripening) in a domestic room. Since the color of banana changes to yellow as it matures, the color of banana is usually used as an index to characterize the properties of banana. By the way, as a method of determining the color index, the color of bananas just imported is blue, which is 1.0 as a general rule, and 5.0 when ripe to a beautiful yellow color. How the color changes depends on the banana variety and country of production, and also on the banana ripening process. In the aging process, the storage temperature, the concentration of ethylene gas in the storage atmosphere, and the treatment time are important conditions, and there are various additional ripening treatment patterns depending on these differences. By changing the treatment pattern, the ripening speed of the banana, that is, the color changing speed can be increased or decreased to adjust the time until the ripening is completed to a certain color.

First, the storage section of this system will be described. The property change information of the storage unit stores the reference change value of the color index obtained for each type of banana and each standard.
This is shown in the property table of FIG. Here, the product type code that is defined in the product type table and specifies the type and origin of bananas, the product name, the standard code that is defined in the standard table and that specifies the grade and size of the product, and the standard change value of the color index. Is stored for each product type code. The reference change value of the color index means how much the color index of the banana of each product type code changes per day under constant standard conditions. If the standards are different even for the same product type, the standard change value of the color index is different.

The stock information in the storage unit is automatically numbered each time a banana, which is a product, is received to identify the stock product. The stock code, the product type code, the standard code, and the production place table define the production place of the product. The origin code specified, the originator code that is defined in the originator table and identifies the originator company that handled the received goods, the number of arrivals, the unit code that identifies the unit of the number of arrivals defined in the unit table, to the product room Inventory date, the color index that shows the color of the product at the current time, the processing code that is defined by the processing table and that specifies the ripening pattern that stores the product, and the inventory that stores the actual quantity at present Includes an inventory unit code that is defined in the Numbers and Units table and identifies the unit for the number of products in stock. This is shown as an inventory table in FIG.
Of these, from the inventory code to the arrival date, and the inventory unit code, after the data is stored at the time of arrival,
As a general rule, it can not be rewritten, but color index, processing code,
The number of stocks is updated at any time according to the change of the situation, and the current situation is reflected.

The correction information in the storage section is calculated by multiplying the reference change value by the correction rate when any of the ripening processing patterns defined in the processing table is used to calculate the color index. Specify whether it is good. This is shown in FIG. 4 as a correction table. In the table of FIG. 4, the correction rate to be applied to the reference change value is stored for each processing code. By using this, the difference in the ripening speed due to the difference in the processing pattern is reflected in the database.

The shipping plan information in the storage unit is created in advance based on the past shipping record from the room to each store of each store and the current sales plan of each store. This is shown in FIG. 5 as a shipping plan table. In the table of FIG. 5, the shipping schedule is automatically numbered for each shipping unit, the product type code, the standard code, the color of the product at the stage of shipping to the sales store, and the shipping schedule to each sales store based on the shipping plan. If the planned quantity of the product, the planned quantity and the quantity ordered from the actual store are different, the modified quantity to be entered, including the increase / decrease in the quantity, the unit code of the quantity, and the goods defined in the store table are delivered. A store code that identifies the store of each store that stores the data, and data of the expected arrival date that specifies the estimated arrival date of the product for each store are included. In the table of FIG. 5, the planned shipping quantity for the product having the shipping schedule code of “3652874” is “40”, whereas the actual order quantity is 50, and as a result, the order correction data is “+10”. Has been entered.

The order information in the storage unit is a collection of fixed order information from each store that specifies the type of product, the standard, the number of products, the desired arrival date, and the store to which the product is delivered.

Next, the processing section will be described. In the property information rewriting process of the processing unit, the color index of the stocked product on the stocked information database is automatically rewritten at 7:00 am before the start of the physical distribution work on one day. This process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, when the process starts (S010),
The flow branches from S020 to the right and enters a waiting state until the rewrite time is reached. When the preset rewriting time is reached, the flow branches downward from S020 to count the number N of stock codes in the stock information database (S030). Then,
Select the item with the smallest inventory code in the inventory information database, read the product type code, color index, and processing code (S050), and change the standard of the color index stored corresponding to the product type code from the property information database. Read the value (S060). Further, the correction rate corresponding to the previously read processing code is read from the correction information database (S07
0). Next, the previously read reference change value is multiplied by the correction rate also read previously, and this is added to the previously read color index to obtain a new color index (S080). This new color index is overwritten and rewritten on the color index of the same stock code in the stock information database (S090). It is judged whether the number of rewritten inventory data has reached the number N counted in advance.
(S090), if not reached, the flow branches from S090 to the right and returns to S040 to rewrite the next inventory data. When it has reached, the flow branches from S090 to the left, and again shifts to the rewriting time waiting state in S020.

Next, the shipping plan correction processing of the processing unit will be described. Delivery requests (orders) for products from each store are sent to the room from time to time. The shipping plan is set with relatively high accuracy in response to the results of the previous year and the sales plan of each store, but the weather immediately before and broadcasting of related TV programs, etc.
The quantity is often changed before the order is placed due to various unforeseen factors. Upon receipt of the confirmed order from each store, the corresponding shipping schedule code is searched from the product type code, the shop code, and the scheduled arrival date data. If the received order contents are the same as the corresponding shipping plan, the order correction is zero. However, if the ordered quantity is different from the corresponding planned shipment quantity, the difference between the ordered quantity and the planned shipment quantity including the increase / decrease is input to the shipping plan table as the modified order data. This situation is shown in the shipment schedule code "36
Shown in the rows of "52874" and "3652875". For example, in the line with the shipping schedule code “3652874”, the planned shipping quantity is “4”.
The order quantity is 50, whereas the order modification “+10” is input based on the increment of 10. Next, the inventory adjustment process of the processing unit will be described. The inventory adjustment process aims to reduce the product disposal rate and the out-of-stock rate by changing the inventory quantity in response to the change in the number of orders. For banana-like products whose properties change over time, the maturity index (color index) will change over time, and if the product of the desired maturity is insufficient, it will be out of stock. If it is too much, it will have to be discarded. Therefore, in response to changes in orders, inventory is adjusted by adjusting the ripening speed and adjusting the number of new arrivals.

The out-of-stock rate is the ratio of the number of products ordered by each store to the number of products that could not be delivered by the delivery date due to a shortage of products. What is the disposal rate?
It is the ratio of the number of products in stock that cannot be shipped to retailers and are discarded.

For inventory adjustment, first, an actual inventory table for each color index at 7:00 am on the day of work is constructed from the inventory information in FIG. This is shown in FIG. Next, the planned inventory table 1 based on the actual inventory is constructed from the processing pattern data and the color index of each inventory product of the inventory information. This is shown in FIG. The table of FIG. 8 is based on the premise that the inventory of the work day becomes a planned inventory product having different color indexes as the number of days has passed, and is further shipped at any time according to the shipping plan. For example, on the day of work, "0203
The stock number of products with the color index “3.9-3.0” on the date “11” is “160”, but from the shipment plan table by color index of FIG. You can see that So, on the next "020312",
The planned inventory of products with a color index of "4.9-4.0" is "16.
It is “140” which is obtained by subtracting “20” from “0”. The same applies below.

The date of "020312" is the day after the work day, and since "020311" is not newly received, there is no stock of the color index of "1.9-1.0". "-" Is displayed. And this "02
Since the scheduled inventory based on the inventory newly scheduled to be received after the date "0312" does not exist on the day of the work, the inventory quantity of the corresponding portion is all displayed as "-".

Next, a shipping plan table for each color index is constructed from the table of FIG. This is shown in FIG. The table in FIG. 9 shows the number of products scheduled to be shipped at 7 am on the date "020311", for each product specified by a specific product type (123457) and standard (A2), by date and by color index code value. Is a summary. For example, among the products of the above-mentioned specific product type and standard on the date of "020311", the planned number of products with a color index of "4.9-4.0" is "100", and the number of products with a color index of "3.9-3.0" is shipped. The planned number is “20”, which indicates that there is no plan to ship products of other color indexes.

From this color index-based shipping plan table, a planned inventory table 2 is constructed based on products that are to be newly stored after the work day. For products that have not yet arrived, the planned inventory table 2 is configured on the assumption that the processing pattern is the standard condition. This is shown as FIG. Figure 10
In order to configure the table, the product type and standard are specified, and the reference change value of the color index is specified from the table of FIG. Using this reference change value, the correction rate is 1.0 as the additional ripening pattern.
By adopting the standard processing pattern of No. 2, the planned inventory required for constructing the shipping plan table by color index of FIG. 9 is calculated backward.

For example, as for the product of the product type code (123457) and the standard (A2), the standard change value of the color index per day is 1.0 from FIG. 2, and the correction rate is 1.0 under the standard condition. Therefore, the color index on the date of `` 020313 '' is `` 1.9-1.
For the planned inventory “180” of “0”, the color index increases by 1.0 each day. Therefore, the color index is "2.9-2.0" on the next day "020314", and the color index is "3.9-3.0" on the day "020315" when one day has passed. On this day, as shown in FIG. 9, the shipment is performed according to the shipment schedule “60” of the product “3.9-3.0”. Therefore, the planned inventory of the product “4.9-4.0” is 180 to 60 in the next “020316”.
"120" is obtained by subtracting. This is FIG. 9 and FIG.
0 table. Furthermore, this "020316"
On the next day, the shipping schedule of the product of “4.9-4.0” is “120” from the table of FIG. 9, so the planned stock of the product of “5.9-5.0” is the stock of the previous day on the next “020315”. It becomes "0" which deducted the shipment number from.

Scheduled inventory table 1 of FIG. 8 described above
And the number of the planned inventory table 2 in FIG. 10 are added to form a total planned inventory table. This is shown in FIG. This is the planned inventory that serves as the basis for inventory management based on both the actual inventory and the shipping plan.

Here, the number of orders received from the store is changed, and as shown in the modified shipping plan table of FIG.
When “120”, which was planned to be shipped for the product of “4.9−4.0” on the date of “0313”, is increased to “+30”, that is, corrected to 150, the number of new goods received in “020311” is increased by 30, and further, From the stock number “180” of “1.9-1.0” in “020311”, the color index is the largest 30
, And change the ripening pattern to one with a higher correction rate. Then, if the color index becomes "2.9-2.0", the processing pattern is returned to the standard pattern. Furthermore, 30 is selected from the original stock number “180” of “2.9-2.0” in “020312” having a larger color index, and the ripening pattern is changed to one having a larger correction rate. This modification of the ripening speed is performed so as to maintain the value close to the standard condition as much as possible. That is, the correction rate is adjusted so that the correction rate of each product does not deviate from 1.0 as much as possible. Further, the correction is performed so that the number of products for which the processing pattern is corrected is reduced as much as possible. This is to avoid applying unreasonable ripening conditions to the products as much as possible, and to minimize the number of such products. In this way
In other words, it will increase the shipping schedule on the day when the orders increase in a striking manner.

When the fluctuation in the number of received orders is small, the number of newly received goods may not be adjusted, but may be adjusted only by changing the processing pattern. This is because with banana-like products, the number of products to be imported was decided several months ago, and it may be difficult to adjust the number of products to be stored in the room.

Reflecting the above situation, the planned stock of the color index "2.9-2.0" in "020312" is displayed as "+30". When there are fluctuations in a plurality of orders, the fluctuations due to the plurality of orders are reflected at any time to adjust the inventory products. In this way, the increase / decrease in orders is absorbed by the increase / decrease in the number of new arrivals and the adjustment of the ripening speed of in-stock products, and the out-of-stock rate and the disposal rate are reduced.

The above stock adjustment processing will be briefly described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, when an order is received from a certain store (S210), the shipping schedule corresponding to the order is retrieved, and if there is a change in the number compared with the shipping schedule, the shipping plan is revised (S220). The planned inventory obtained from the shipping plan and the actual inventory is modified so that the modification rate of the product processing pattern is as small as possible and the number of modified products is the smallest (S230). This is reflected in the inventory information table (S240). It goes without saying that changes will also be made to the ripening process in the actual room.

In the inventory management of the products in the above-mentioned embodiment, the color index is used as a parameter for characterizing the property that greatly affects the product value of the product which is a banana whose maturity is changing every moment, and the color index is used. Is stored in the inventory management database, and its color index is automatically rewritten in accordance with a certain method, whereby complicated inventory management can be performed using a computer. As a result, the product out-of-stock rate and the disposal rate can be reduced.

Although the invention has been described above as a system, it can be understood as a program to be executed by a computer.

For example, an example of a program corresponding to the system of the present invention is a program for using a computer to manage the inventory of products whose properties change with the passage of time. Based on the property information storage function that stores the information about the tendency, the inventory information storage function that stores the inventory number and the property information of the product, the information about the reference change tendency and the property information, the inventory information storage function It is an inventory management program for products that have property changes, which has a property information rewriting function for rewriting property information as needed. Similarly, a program can be defined corresponding to each invention.

These programs may be stored in a computer-readable recording medium. Here, the recording medium is a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, an R
It refers to a portable medium such as OM and CD-ROM, and a recording device such as a hard disk built in a computer system. Further, the program can be arbitrarily divided, and the divided pieces can be stored in the respective storage media.

FIG. 15 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the system.
Shown in. This system example stores a shipping plan database that stores a shipping plan created in advance based on the previous year's shipping results and shipping plans of each store, an inventory information database that stores actual product inventory information, and product property information. A property database, a processing database that stores information about processing patterns used when the product is aged, an order database that stores the details of orders received from each store, and a shipping database that stores shipping information for products shipped from the room. Have. Also, a planning terminal for inputting a shipping plan, an inventory terminal for inventory management, a processing terminal for inputting processing conditions, an order receiving terminal for receiving or receiving received order details, and a shipping terminal for shipping. It has a shipping terminal for entering information. Each terminal and database is
Connected by LAN (Local Area Network), LA
A router for connecting to an external network is connected to N.

In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the system is built in the distribution center, but it is not limited to this. For example, the server may be located outside the distribution center and may be connected to one or more terminals within the distribution center by a telephone line, or WAN (Wide Are).

This system is particularly suitable for inventory management of fruits, especially bananas, but can also be used for flowers, fruits and vegetables, meat and fish. For example, when used for flowers,
The flowering rate may be used as a property that changes with time to characterize the product, and may be set to 1.0 for a hard bud and 5.0 for a fully flowered state. When used for meat, the fact that the color of the meat surface changes over time is used, and the color of the meat surface is used as a parameter indicating the property of the product, and the color immediately after slaughter is 1.0 The color just before decay should be 6.0 mag. An index suitable for each product may be used as a parameter expressing the property. Furthermore, not only the property that can be grasped by observation from the outside, but also the property obtained by calculation according to the passage of time from the manufacturing date and time may be used.

Further, the system of the present invention may be used with processed goods. For example, bananas are in almost the same condition as they were harvested locally at the domestic import stage, with dozens of bananas attached to one bunch. However, before shipping to each store, processing is added to subdivide into the number of sales units. It may also be processed into cut fruits. Even if it is processed in any way, the characteristic that its properties change from moment to moment does not change,
The above system can be used for inventory management of processed products. For meat, the system of the present invention can be used at any processing stage from the slaughtered state to ground meat.

The rewriting frequency of the property data may be changed as needed, and the rewriting frequency per day is not particularly limited. It is desirable to rewrite the data before the start of management work or during breaks of workers.

The product referred to in the present invention is not limited to a product directly subject to transaction with the outside. For example, even if it is an intermediate raw material that is generated in the middle of the processing step or an article that is in the process of being processed and is not a directly traded product with the outside,
Items that can be indirectly traded are included in the products referred to in the present invention.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment and includes design changes without departing from the idea of the present invention.
