Definitions

  • An average plumbers' business consists of amongst others four mechanics in production work (hourly wage) .
  • the work involved in a plumbers' business also consists of invoicing and stock management, in which in general the following problems occur: - invoicing is left too iong, which may lead to disputes with the customer
  • the stockroom has to be checked regularly for stock for orders.
  • At least 1 5 hours per week are involved in these activities and in larger businesses even more than 40 hour.
  • the present invention offers a solution for a strong reduction of the time necessary for these activities, as a result of which the business can function more efficiently.
  • the inventive system also has its effects between business and consumer, as it regards large and small jobs in production work (hourly wages) .
  • the system can of course also be used in other branches of business, such as electric fitters, central-heating mechanics and electric equipment.
  • the solution to the problems is providing all articles with a sticker which bears the article number of the supplier and a description of the article.
  • Said stickers are printed out by the stock manager according to the packer's number, for instance with a matrix printer. Said stickers have to be affixed to all articles and loose stickers preferably should be put on the storage shelves.
  • All shelves in the stockroom preferably are provided with a bar code sticker which indicates the article number, the description and the bar code.
  • the bar code preferably is provided with a colour, by means of determining the turnover rate a simple ordering schedule can thus be made. For instance orders can be taken in a simple manner. In the computer said articles could also be indicated with the quantity of delivery, so that they can automatically be ordered (this coupled to an invoicing system) .
  • Each mechanic receives a standard list indicating the articles which cannot hold a sticker, such as articles that are sold by the length, contents or weight, these are reduced to article numbers per meter, litre or kilogram.
  • the mechanic affixes the sticker of the articles used during the job onto the maintenance sheet. At the end of the day all maintenance sheets of the mechanics are handed in and the following morning the sheets are checked on hours and materials used, after that invoicing can immediately be proceeded with.
  • the stockroom system can be carried out by a so-called lay person - invoicing with numbers, so no errors in the prices
  • the inventive system necessitates an invoicing system connected to a stock of articles, and a (matrix) printer and bar code printer, and depending on the stock approximately 1 to 2 hours per week of putting stickers onto the articles.
  • the return goods from the mechanics can be collected in one area and on each storeroom shelf extra stickers can be put.
  • the stock manager then has to go to the shelf concerned with the uncoded articles and (if necessary) put on a sticker again.
  • the mechanic is given a hand terminal into which the office has each day entered the addresses, project numbers, the complaints, the costs for the house call per customer etc.
  • the mechanic When arriving at the customer's the mechanic looks up the project number in the hand terminal and indicates the time of arrival, he also reads in the articles used with said hand terminal (via the bar code on the stickers) and the time of leaving .
  • the remaining time can be smoothed away in the costs for the house call, which could be reduced by the inventive system.
  • said holder At the end of the working day said holder is entered into a holder at the office, and the data in it are transmitted to a central computer. Said data could also be transmitted wireless.
  • the computer invoices the invoice per mechanic, and also makes a survey of the hours worked, travelling hours and possibly the lost hours.
  • the mechanic also has the possibility to enter certain codes into the hand terminal in case of calamities, such as: work not finished or suddenly to another job. There is the possibility then that the mechanic enters the main data himself, indicated by the office.
  • the articles themselves will be provided with the necessary codes, or that the articles are packaged in a packaging bag on which the codes or stickers, respectively, are applied. In the latter case all articles are sealed in via a computer controlled device.
  • a sticker is automatically affixed on the sealed in (packaged) articles, which sticker bears the article number of the supplier and a description of the article.
  • Said sealed in articles can be put on the shelves concerned of the storeroom.
  • the computer controlled device can also print out loose stickers.
  • the articles are not exposed to wear and tear.
  • a mechanic opens the packagmgs and does not use the article , he has to remove the sticker form the packaging and affix it to the article.
  • Said return goods are placed in a return tray in the storeroom, and on the basis of the sticker can be packaged again.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de gestion d'articles, notamment d'articles de plomberie, lequel système comprend d'une part, un terminal portable équipé d'un dispositif de lecture destiné à lire et à mémoriser le code appliqué sur un article et d'un dispositif d'entrée destiné à la saisie de données, telles que les heures de travail et analogues, et d'autre part, un ordinateur central, le terminal portable pouvant être connecté à l'ordinateur central en vue de la transmission des codes articles lus et des données saisies. L'ordinateur central, quant à lui, est pourvu d'un dispositif de gestion des stocks comportant un fichier stocks et un fichier factures. Ledit système comprend également une imprimante connectée à l'ordinateur central, le dispositif de facturation de l'ordinateur donnant l'ordre à l'imprimante d'imprimer d'une part, une facture après chaque opération dépendant des codes articles lus et des données saisies, et d'autre part, une liste des stocks après chaque opération. L'invention concerne, en outre, une étiquette destinée à être utilisée dans le cadre d'un système de gestion d'articles selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, ladite étiquette comportant une couche adhésive permettant sa fixation libérable sur des matériaux comme le PVC, l'acier galvanisé, le nickel, le carton plastifié, le cuivre, le chrome, un matériau synthétique, notamment un matériau synthétique de plomberie, le laiton jaune, l'acier et le papier, notamment une feuille d'entretien.
