Description

  The present invention relates to a supplier candidate selection method and a selection apparatus thereof. Specifically, among the registered business partners, from the business partners registered with respect to the specific transportation goods (transportation qualified person), the candidate for ordering for the transportation goods is evaluated and selected. It is possible to list business partners with a low accident history and a low accident history as potential business partners.

  As the scale of business expands, there are a wide variety of contents to be ordered from external suppliers, and the number of orders often increases considerably. Orders are also different depending on the business unit. For example, if you pay attention to the transportation of goods (cargo), in the normal case, you can specify an appropriate business partner from among the business partners registered in advance. It is common for consignment contracts to be transported to the ground.

  However, not all registered business partners are candidates for ordering, depending on the goods to be ordered for consignment of transportation. In particular, it may be necessary to plan a transportation plan carefully and transport goods according to the transportation plan. For example, a detailed transportation plan may be prepared in advance so as to arrive at a destination at a designated date and time according to a predetermined route. This is especially true when transporting goods that may affect the environment or become a social problem due to lost or damaged items. The tendency is strong.

  As a business partner as an ordering candidate in the case of transporting such specific goods, not all of the business partners registered on the ordering side are candidates for business partners as described above, but the conditions specified by the ordering side Must be a business partner that satisfies The conditions specified by the ordering party are to evaluate and select business partners from a comprehensive perspective, such as whether they have experience in transporting such goods in the past or whether they have high reliability in transportation. There must be.

  Note that Patent Document 1 is known as a management method and management system for dangerous goods, and Patent Document 2 is known for processing and management methods for dangerous goods themselves.

JP 2001-282902 A JP 2001-19107 A

  In the above-mentioned patent document 1, in order to centrally manage the dangerous goods, etc., the handling companies related to the dangerous goods etc. are registered in the database by registering the handling companies for the dangerous goods etc. Thus, the management means 11 is disclosed.

  However, this Patent Document 1 does not disclose a basic evaluation and selection method, which is under what conditions a member handling a dangerous goods or the like is registered as a member. It is not disclosed whether the conditions are determined by an external organization or determined by the consignor for the transportation of dangerous goods. In the case of transporting goods such as dangerous goods, the consignor's transport orderer It is preferable to match the judgment criteria with the conditions determined by the side.

  Patent Document 2 stores dynamic information from a starting point to a final point in an IC chip 4 attached to a transporting container so that the dynamics of a transporting container or the like that contains dangerous materials can be accurately managed. It is what I did.

  For this reason, this Patent Document 2 does not disclose any information such as what criteria to select a transport company that transports a transport container containing dangerous goods.

  As described above, when the transportation goods are those that must be transported according to the transportation plan, it is necessary to carefully select candidates for the transportation company entrusting the transportation. However, it is troublesome to match the reference information formulated for candidate selection with the business partner candidates, and human error is likely to occur. At least, it is preferable to automatically perform the operation of selecting the supplier candidates.

  Therefore, the present invention solves such a conventional problem, and particularly when evaluating and selecting candidates for ordering for transport goods, it is above the minimum evaluation score for the transport goods, The present invention proposes a supplier candidate selection method and a selection apparatus thereof that can list a small number of suppliers as supplier candidates.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a supplier candidate selection method according to the present invention as set forth in claim 1 is directed to a computer for evaluating and selecting a supplier candidate for ordering a specific material transportation,
A means of entering the goods to be ordered,
Means for obtaining a candidate for a supplier who can handle the transportation of goods from registered suppliers;
Means for obtaining transportation plan information including minimum evaluation point information as an ordering condition regarding the transportation goods,
Means for comparing the evaluation point information of the supplier evaluated for each transported material with the minimum evaluation point information regarding the transported material,
Means for acquiring accident history information for the supplier candidate above the minimum rating for the transport goods;
Means for listing and displaying the above suppliers whose accident history is less than the specified number of times,
It functions as a means for registering the listed suppliers as a supplier candidate list.

In addition, the supplier candidate sorting device according to the present invention described in claim 3 is a supplier candidate sorting device for evaluating and selecting a supplier candidate for ordering a specific material transportation,
A means of entering the goods to be ordered,
Means for obtaining a candidate for a supplier who can handle the transportation of goods from registered suppliers;
Means for obtaining transportation plan information including minimum evaluation point information as an ordering condition regarding the transportation goods,
Means for comparing the evaluation point information of the supplier evaluated for each transported material with the minimum evaluation point information regarding the transported material,
Means for acquiring accident history information for the supplier candidate above the minimum rating for the transport goods;
Means for listing and displaying the above suppliers whose accident history is less than the specified number of times,
And means for registering the listed business partners as a business partner candidate list.

  In the present invention, the transportation-related business partner database stores information on transportation goods and business partners that can handle the transportation goods. The supplier information includes evaluation point information obtained by the ordering party evaluating the supplier for each transportation item, information on the number of accidents, and the like.

  In the transportation planning database, the transportation date and time, the transportation route (route), the difficulty level for transportation, the minimum evaluation point information set in ordering the transportation of the goods, and the like are accumulated for each transportation material. The minimum evaluation point differs depending on the difficulty level in transportation.

  A candidate who can enumerate the transportation of goods, that is, a candidate that can be listed as a business partner, must clear the minimum evaluation score for transportation of the goods. For this reason, evaluation point information related to transportation goods is obtained from the supplier information accumulated in the database for transportation-related business partners, and minimum evaluation point information relating to transportation goods accumulated in the database for transportation planning is obtained. Compare

Acquire a history of accidents related to transportation goods for suppliers who have cleared the minimum evaluation score. The accident history is stored in the database for transportation-related business partners.
Business partners whose accident history is less than the specified number of times are the final business partner candidates. The business partner that is the final business partner candidate is registered in the business partner candidate list. This supplier candidate list is registered in the transport related supplier database.

  Then, one or more business partners are finally selected from the business partners listed in this business partner candidate list. The person in charge on the ordering side makes the selection.

  The finally remaining business partner is registered in the transportation planning database together with the order date as the ordering party.

  According to this, since the list of suppliers related to the transportation of goods is first stored in the database, it becomes easy to search for the suppliers when the goods to be transported are determined.

  Next, each of the suppliers is given a rating for each shipment, and a minimum rating is set for each shipment, so search for candidate suppliers that clear the lowest rating. It is easy.

  Since the customer information includes accident history information related to the transportation goods, it is relatively easy to list the final supplier candidates. As a result, a list of business partner candidates can be created immediately after the shipment is determined, so that human error can be eliminated and strict determination can be made so that the most appropriate business partner can be selected. .

  The same applies when selecting suppliers by bidding. In this case, the bidding information (presence / absence of bidding) is registered in the database for transport-related business partners related to the transport goods, and among the business partners who can take charge of transporting the goods listed in the transport plan, Only suppliers that are participating in bidding are candidates for supplier candidates.

  In the present invention, in evaluating and selecting candidates for orders for transport goods, a list of suppliers with a minimum accident score and less accident history is listed as a supplier candidate list. It can be registered as.

  According to this, even when there are a large number of business partner candidates, it is possible to automatically select and register the business partner candidates that are most suitable for the transportation goods and to register them. Possible business partners can be selected from business partner candidates. This makes it possible to ensure safe transportation and to quickly cope with unforeseen circumstances, and to fulfill the social responsibility demanded by the ordering party.

  Next, a preferred embodiment of a supplier candidate sorting method and sorting apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings in connection with goods transportation.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a supplier candidate selection system 1 for realizing the present invention.
A supplier candidate selection device 10 according to the present invention is connected to a plurality of customer side terminal devices 4 (4A to 4N) via a communication line (network) 2 such as the Internet. By accessing the candidate sorting device 10, predetermined information such as application information (electronic information) related to the supplier is stored in the transport related supplier database 14 associated with the supplier candidate sorting device 10. It is a system (selection system) in which specific information registered in the database 14 can be obtained by registering or inputting a keyword or ID in some cases.

  Therefore, the terminal device 4 can use a terminal device such as a personal computer having a communication function. The terminal device 4 is used for application for bidding, etc. in addition to transmitting information on a business partner. It is also used when receiving a purchase order from the ordering side.

  A plurality of databases are installed on the ordering side management center side. One is a transportation plan database 12 in which information related to a transportation plan created by the ordering side is stored, and the other is a supplier database 14 related to transportation.

  The database 12 stores transportation plan information as shown in FIG. In this example, the transport goods are organized (in the form of a table), and the goods codes are attached to the goods to be transported, and related information is stored and searched by inputting the goods name or the goods code.

  The transportation date and time, the transportation route (transportation route), the transportation difficulty level expected in transportation of the transportation material, and the like are recorded as transportation plan information for the transportation material. The transportation route is displayed by a name or abbreviation specific to the ordering party.

  In this example, the transport difficulty is classified into three ranks A, B, and C, and the evaluation score required for the supplier is given as the minimum evaluation score, taking into account the transport goods, transport route, and transport difficulty. Is done. In this example, freight supplies AA and CC are each required a minimum score of 15 (highest score), and only suppliers with an evaluation score of 15 or higher are eligible to be candidates for transport suppliers. It will be. The number of evaluation points can be set arbitrarily.

  Since the transportation goods BB is considered to be somewhat less difficult than the transportation goods AA, the lowest evaluation score in this case is set to 10 points, and the transportation goods CC is less difficult than the transportation goods BB. In this case, 8 points are set as the lowest evaluation points. Even for the transportation goods handled in this way, the information shown in FIG. 3 is recorded individually for the transportation goods that need to be planned for transportation.

  In the transportation plan information, when the ordering party is finally determined, the code of the business partner who is the ordering party and the ordering date are recorded for each applicable transportation article.

  On the other hand, transportation-related business partner information is stored in the other database 14. An example is shown in FIG.

  In this database 14 as well, business partners registered for each shipment are listed, and an evaluation score is given to each business partner. Assume that the evaluation points are sequentially updated, and therefore the latest evaluation point information is stored in the database 14.

  Evaluation points are determined based on the minimum knowledge and experience of transporting the relevant goods. An evaluation score is given for each business partner. In this example, the evaluation score is given as a total score of three genres. The three genres are presence / absence of qualifications related to transportation goods, transportation results, and reliability regarding transportation of the goods.

  The qualifications related to transportation goods are qualifications given by the end of a specific course prescribed by the law or the ordering party. In this example, the qualifications are divided into three ranks, advanced, intermediate and elementary, and each is scored. Advanced qualification is 5 points, intermediate qualification is 3 points, beginner qualification is 1 point. The ordering side performs registration processing for the qualified information based on the application information input from the business partner.

  The actual transportation results are basically the number of times of transportation contracted, 10 times or more is 5 points in the a rank, 5 times to 9 times is 3 points in the b rank, and 4 times or less is 1 point in the c rank. Is done. This is also scored with reference to the application information obtained from the business partner and the order record information stored on the ordering side, and the registration process is performed.

  The degree of reliability related to transportation goods is set in consideration of qualifications and actual transportation results. In this example, it is classified into 3 ranks (XA, XB, XC), and the high reliability is 5 points in the XA rank. The medium reliability is 3 points for XB and the low reliability is 1 point for XC. The evaluation score is a comprehensive score of these three genres.

  Further, the database 14 records the accident history (number of times) for the transportation of goods undertaken. A single accident will deduct (1) points by "1". It may be possible to increase or decrease the deduction points in consideration of the accident content or accident year. The database 14 further records the presence / absence of a bid when the order for the transportation goods is a bid.

When bidding is required, the minimum clear condition for becoming a business partner candidate is a registered business partner who is bidding on the current transportation of goods.
These pieces of information are updated sequentially, so that the latest data is always stored in the database 14.

  In addition, it differs depending on the business contents of the ordering manufacturer as the transportation goods. If the explanation is limited to the electric power-related business, equipment related to power stations and substations, used materials (such as waste oil from transformers), and spare parts are considered. This is because when transporting these goods, since it is necessary to pass through ordinary roads, a precise transportation plan such as securing the safest transportation route may be required.

  Now, the supplier candidate sorting apparatus 10 is installed in the management center on the ordering side, and the above-described databases 12 and 14 can naturally be accessed from the supplier candidate sorting apparatus 10. 14 can perform new item registration processing, registration item update processing, and the like for the information stored in 14.

  FIG. 2 is a system diagram of a principal part showing an embodiment of the supplier candidate sorting apparatus 10 according to the present invention. In relation to the supplier candidate sorting apparatus 10, the two databases 12 and 14 described above are connected via an internal bus 20 and a LAN 16.

  This supplier candidate selection apparatus 10 functions as a computer, and includes evaluation and selection of suppliers for listing the supplier candidates, starting with the CPU 22 as a control unit that controls the entire apparatus. A memory means (ROM) 24 in which a processing program for storing data is stored and a working memory means (RAM) 26 are both connected to the internal bus 20. The working memory means 26 also functions as a memory for temporarily storing the information during the candidate selection process.

  Further, an input means 28 such as a mouse and a keyboard, an output means 30 such as a printer, and a monitor 32 are connected to the internal bus 20, and in this example, a communication means 34 for connecting to the Internet is connected to the internal bus 20. Configured.

  Now, in order to execute the candidate selection process according to the present invention, application information (electronic information) is acquired from the supplier side in advance, and shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 created based on the acquired application information. It is assumed that such information is accumulated in the databases 12 and 14.

  In the sorting process of the suppliers related to the transportation goods, the suppliers are selected from the suppliers registered in the database 14, and when conditions such as bidding are added, the suppliers are considered in consideration of these conditions. A candidate selection process is performed.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a flowchart for realizing the supplier candidate selection method according to the present invention.
When the processing program for selecting the supplier candidate is started, first, the input process of the name of the transportation goods or the code name is performed (step 41). The stored information related to the input transportation goods is searched by accessing the databases 12 and 14, and the stored transportation goods related to the corresponding transportation goods and each information of the business partners are acquired (step 42).

  Next, it is judged from the stored information in the database 14 whether or not the designated transportation goods are a condition for bidding (step 43). If the bidding is a condition, it is a registered business partner and the transaction for which a bid has been made. The destination is searched (step 44). When the bid is not a condition, the registered business partner is searched (step 45).

  In the case where there are a plurality of business partners corresponding to both the search results that are based on the bid and the search results that are not based on the bid, the evaluation points of these business partners are determined based on the accumulated information in the databases 12 and 14. Then, a comparison process (collation process) with the lowest evaluation score required for the transportation of the relevant goods is performed (step 46).

  As a result of the comparison process, when there are a plurality (1 or more) of suppliers having a minimum evaluation score (step 47), the accident history in the suppliers satisfying the minimum evaluation score is referred to. The suppliers are searched m times or less (step 48).

  Although the number of accident histories can be set arbitrarily, setting this value m too large may damage social credibility, so the smallest possible value (2-3) is preferred. Of course, it is also possible to consider the registered accident history information by taking into account the contents of the accident.

  Customers who clear the minimum score and have a low accident history can be judged as good suppliers who can entrust the transportation of the relevant goods with peace of mind, so suppliers who have cleared these conditions are listed as candidate suppliers. The listed supplier candidates are displayed as a list on the monitor 32, and their contents are temporarily registered in the RAM 26 or the database 14 (step 49).

  The supplier selects the optimal supplier from the list of supplier candidates, and finally one or several companies are designated as the supplier, and the designated supplier is the supplier along with the order date. It is registered in the database 12 (step 50). At the same time as the registration process in the database 12 is completed, an issue process for issuing a purchase order to the target supplier is performed, whereby the supplier candidate selection process is completed (step 51). The purchase order is transmitted to the terminal device 4 of the customer as electronic data such as e-mail.

  On the other hand, if there is no corresponding business partner bid in step 44, or if there is no business partner registered in step 45, a message indicating that there is no corresponding business partner is displayed on the monitor 32. (Step 52). Further, a message to the effect that the supplier candidate selection should be reset is displayed on the monitor 32 (step 53), and a series of supplier candidate selection processes are completed.

  Similarly, if there is no one company that has cleared the minimum evaluation score in step 47, or if the minimum evaluation score is cleared but the number of accidents is high, the process goes to steps 52 and 53. The transition is made and an instruction for resetting the supplier candidate is issued.

  In FIG. 5, the lowest evaluation score is determined in step 47, and then the accident history is determined in step 48. In the second embodiment, a determination process completely opposite to this is performed. Even in this case, it is possible to select a supplier having a low accident history and a minimum evaluation point or more as a supplier candidate.

  The present invention is suitable for application to a supplier candidate selection system or the like in an electric power related business that may transport goods according to a transportation plan.
