Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a service providing method performed by an operator of an electronic commerce market to participants in the electronic commerce market, and more particularly, to a method of providing a transaction support service to a supplier in the electronic commerce market.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, the parts traded on the market have the following life cycles. (1) Shortly after being introduced to the market, the market started up,
Time to grow. Here, it is referred to as the "rise period". (2) The time when parts are adopted in many products, the number of competing parts makers (suppliers) increases, and the parts market develops and stabilizes. Here, it is called "maturity". (3) The time when the demand for parts decreases, that is, the market hope decreases. The term "decline" is used here.

As described above, the life cycle of parts is roughly divided into three parts: the "rising phase", the "maturity phase", and the "decline phase".
There are two phases.

Depending on which phase of the life cycle the part to be procured belongs, the priority of requirements of the buyer's part or supplier is different. In many cases,
The items prioritized by buyers are as follows for each phase. (1) Start-up period: Quality assurance is the top priority, second is quick delivery, and third is low price. (2) Maturity period: Low price is the highest priority, second is quality stability, and third is delivery date compliance. (3) Decline: Securing quantity is the highest priority, second is low price,
Thirdly, there is little quality variation (because it is often procured from multiple suppliers).

As described above, as the parts life cycle progresses, for example, the weight for quality becomes lower. In this way, in order to provide detailed support for the supplier's selection of the supplier, it is desirable to change the information to be provided according to the life cycle phase of the component to be procured by the buyer.

The parts in the start-up period are often procured by a set maker, which adopts the parts and aims to be put on the market ahead of competitors as a new function product or a high performance product. Such a set maker is a maker aiming for the first-come-first-served profit by establishing a new product market.
It is important that the products introduced are of high quality (high degree of perfection) and that they be introduced to the market early.

However, almost no parts in the start-up stage have appeared in the market, and it is difficult to obtain quality information and delivery date information of parts from the market. Further, if the quality of the parts themselves cannot be evaluated, it is necessary to evaluate the quality of the parts supplied by the supplier and the speed of delivery by evaluating the process quality of the supplier supplying the parts. However, the existing process quality evaluation method (ISO900
It takes a long time for a set maker to independently perform a method such as 0 series or QS9000) for a number of business partner candidates, which is almost impossible in reality, and the result information of these quality evaluation programs. Since it is difficult to compare the quality levels of multiple suppliers, it is currently difficult to evaluate the process of each supplier. Therefore, it is difficult for the buyer to present the supplier quality level required by the buyer. In order to solve the above problems, it is desired to provide a method that can be easily performed and that can calculate a uniform process quality level index.

In order to show the quality of a conventional enterprise as good or bad, enterprise certification is known in the ISO9000 series which is an international standard for quality assurance established by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). This is an international standard that is made up of 20 items that the "quality system" must have to create and maintain the required quality, including the manufacturing process and quality control system. In the ISO9000 series,
Depending on the product supply system of the product supplier, ISO9001 (standard applied when the producer carries out all operations from design / development, manufacturing, installation, and incidental services), ISO9002 (design already ISO 9003 (design, manufacturing, and other uses) when established, or when given by the purchaser or external, when producers perform manufacturing, installation, or incidental services. Have been established over a long period of time, and quality assurance requirements are final inspections and final tests, the applicable standards).

The company that supplies the product decides the quality standard to be inspected from the above three according to the product supply system, and whether the "quality system" of the company conforms to the standard defined by the ISO9000 series. Ask the certification agency that ISO (International Organization for Standardization) recognizes whether or not it is approved. If the standard certification agency determines that the product conforms to the ISO9000 series, the "quality system" of the company is IS.
Conformity with the O9000 series is certified by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and a registration certificate is issued.

In some cases, whether or not the ISO9000 series certification is received is used as one basis for judging the quality achievement level of a company. Some companies on the procurement side have set that they have acquired ISO9000 series certification as a condition of their business partners.

In addition, the quality standard QS-9 set by the American automobile manufacturers (BIG3 (Daimler Chrysler, Ford, GM, etc.)) as the same as the above-mentioned ISO9000 series.
There are 000. This is a common quality system standard based on the ISO9000 series, and it is conditioned that suppliers of automobile parts and materials to US automobile manufacturers comply with the QS-9000 standard. Depending on the manufacturer on the procurement side, the acquisition of conformity certification by a third party is a condition for transactions. The third-party organization that undertakes the QS-9000 certification is responsible for ensuring that the “quality system” of the product supplier has the necessary requirements.
It is divided into items and examined, and each item is scored. The third-party organization certifies that all items to be evaluated satisfy the reference points provided for each item, and the result of the examination is the total number of points for each item and the total score for each element. Report the total score, which is the score divided by. The customer side who purchases automobile parts and materials decides the supplier in consideration of the QS-9000 examination result.

[0012] However, the above is the certification of whether or not there is a system for continuously improving the quality, and does not necessarily indicate the level of the quality level of the company.

[0013]

As described above, at present, it is not possible to easily quantitatively evaluate the process quality level of the supplier, or to easily grasp the supplier quality level required by the buyer quantitatively. On the other hand, by evaluating the process quality of the supplier, it is possible to evaluate the quality of the parts supplied by the supplier.
Even if you try to use the result of quality certification such as ISO9000, the certification result is a certification of whether there is a system that continuously improves quality, and does not necessarily indicate the high or low quality level of the company. Therefore, it is difficult to compare a plurality of manufacturers with each other in terms of quality.

Further, the evaluation score reported as the result of the examination of the above-mentioned prior art quality system serves as a criterion for deciding a purchaser from a plurality of companies on the supply side and relatively compares the levels of the plurality of companies. be able to. However, it is difficult to judge the defect rate of the product supplied by the company from the evaluation score of the above-mentioned conventional technology. Was difficult.

Further, the above-mentioned authentication in the quality system of the prior art is performed by a third party organization, which requires a great deal of man-hours and time. Therefore, if the supplier the buyer wishes to consider transacting with is not certified,
It is not possible to grasp the process quality of the supplier immediately. In particular, when trying to make global procurement through the Internet, most of the business negotiations are with companies that have no transaction record. In order to efficiently procure high-quality parts, there is a need for a mechanism that allows manufacturers to easily and quantitatively grasp the quality of manufacturing.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the supplier himself / herself uses a method of evaluating the supplier quality level from a plurality of conditions concerning the manufacturing process of the supplier. The quality level of the own process can be easily evaluated, the quality level of the own process can be presented to the buyer, and the buyer side can also easily present the quality level required for the manufacturing process of the supplier. To provide such a mechanism.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an evaluation method and an evaluation index for a supplier to continuously improve the quality of the manufacturing process of the supplier. Even if suppliers have the same overall quality level, their achievement methods should be different. It provides an index for evaluating the quality of the achievement method.

[0018]

As a means for achieving the above object, the method of the present invention uses a quality level evaluation program for quantitatively evaluating the quality level of the supplier from a plurality of condition information of the supplier manufacturing process. The above-mentioned quality level evaluation program enables quality indicators based on a common evaluation standard obtained directly or indirectly by a supplier and a buyer to be exchanged with each other via a network during a transaction.

By the above-mentioned means, the supplier can present his / her own quality level index to the buyer, and the buyer can present the required quality level to the supplier. According to the above-mentioned means of the present invention, the buyer can compare the quality level requested by himself and the quality level of the supplier who is a business partner candidate, and can grasp the difference between them. In addition, it is possible to compare multiple suppliers in terms of quality.

By the means described above, the supplier is
It is possible to understand the required quality level from the buyer, it becomes easy to select the transaction item that matches the own quality level, and the difference between the required quality level of the item you want to trade and your own quality level can be grasped It is possible to set quality improvement goals.
As described above, the present invention contributes to efficient procurement and distribution of high quality products.

As shown in the figure, eMP is an e-commerce market site (hereinafter referred to as eMP site) established on the Internet by an eMP operator. The eMP site accepts transaction item information (information about the item to be procured) from the buyer who wants to procure the item (here, parts, products, services, etc.) through the network, while wanting to sell the item. From the supplier, we receive information about things that can be supplied via the network, provide transaction item information to the supplier,
Its main business is to provide services that support transactions between buyers and suppliers, such as introducing potential business partners to buyers. For eMP, buyers who mainly deal with
In addition to suppliers, third parties (service providers) that provide services that support transactions and general users may also participate. Also via the internet,
It is also connected to other eMPs, enabling transactions across eMPs.

The quality information providing service of the present invention described below may be provided by an eMP operator or may be provided by the above service provider. Here, the case where it is provided by the eMP operator will be described as an example.

FIG. 2 shows an eMP for implementing a supplier quality information providing service in the embodiment of the present invention.
The system configuration of the system 11 is shown.

As shown in the figure, an input unit 1 including a keyboard, a mouse, a pen input tablet, an input unit via a storage medium, a display unit such as a display monitor, an output unit via a printing unit, etc. Output means 2, a calculation means 3 for executing a calculation program such as a supplier quality level evaluation program, and the calculation means 3

FIG. 3 shows a business flow relating to the transaction information provision to the supplier according to the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3
The flow will be described along with.

Step 100: The supplier is participating in the electronic commerce market in order to get a better deal introduction. In order to receive services from eMP, it is often necessary to first register as a member in eMP. To do this, first access the eMP site via the Internet.

Step 110: Then, the supplier displays a member registration screen and performs member registration there. Specifically, on the member registration screen, a company name, a contact address, a business type, the number of employees, etc. are input as company information, and a transmission process to the eMP is performed. Incidentally, the buyer also needs to register in eMP in advance, as in the case of the above supplier.

Step 120: The eMP accepts registration information from the supplier and the buyer, saves it in a storage device, issues a user ID and a password to the buyer and the supplier, and makes contact via the network.

Step 130: The supplier needs to send the quality condition information of his process to the eMP site in advance in order for the supplier to introduce the transaction item. To do this, first access the eMP site. Then, using the issued user ID and password, the user logs in to the member page.

Step 140: The supplier then
Access the transaction item introduction page and request the transaction item introduction to eMP.

However, when the introduction is received for the first time after registration, it is necessary to access the quality evaluation system from the page and register the quality condition information of the supplier (steps 150-160). After that, if a transaction item introduction request is made and the quality condition information of the supplier has already been registered, steps 150-160 may be skipped. However, it is desirable to update the quality condition information on a regular basis from the meaning of the creditworthiness of the supplier and the creditworthiness of the eMP. In the meantime, if a major change occurs in the process, it is necessary to update the quality condition information even when the update time has not come.

Step 150: When registering the quality condition information of the supplier, the supplier accesses the quality evaluation system.

Step 160: When the quality evaluation system is accessed, the information input screen for the supplier quality level evaluation program is displayed. Therefore, input the quality condition information of the supplier, which is necessary to calculate the quality level of the own process, and send it to the eMP site.

Step 170: The eMP site receives the quality condition information from the supplier, and based on this information, the supplier quality level evaluation program in the eMP system
Calculate quality level indicators.

Step 180: The eMP site displays the supplier quality level index calculated based on the quality condition information submitted by the supplier and the supplier quality level index (required value) calculated based on the supplier quality condition information required by the buyer. Search for deals that match the supplier quality level from the information. For the matching, the supplier quality level index (required value) sent in advance from the buyer and the calculated supplier quality level index (actual supplier value) are used. As a matching method, there are a method of searching for a transaction item that can meet the requirements of the buyer based on the quality level of the supplier, and a method of searching for a product that has little deviation from the quality level of the supplier.

Step 190: The eMP site provides the supplier quality level index calculated in the above step 170 and the result of the matching in the above step 180, that is, the supplier quality level (required value) information of the matched transaction item, to the supplier. To send over the network. Step 200: The supplier matches the supplier quality level index calculated by the eMP site in the above step 170 with the supplier quality level index in the above step 180,
That is, the supplier quality level (required value) information of the matched transaction item is received, the content is examined, the item information for which the transaction is desired is selected, and the selection result is transmitted to the eMP site.

Step 210: The eMP site receives the item information of the transaction desired from the supplier and introduces the buyer to the supplier according to the information.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a work flow relating to quality information registration on the buyer side according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 1100: Buyers are participating in the e-commerce marketplace to get better supplier referrals. In order to receive services from eMP, it is often necessary to first register as a member in eMP. To do this, first access the eMP site via the Internet.

Step 1110: Then, the buyer displays the member registration screen and performs member registration there. Specifically, on the member registration screen, a company name, a contact address, a business type, the number of employees, etc. are input as company information, and a transmission process to the eMP is performed. Note that the supplier must also register in eMP in advance, as in the case of the above buyer.

Step 1120: The eMP accepts the registration information from the buyer and the supplier, saves it in the storage device, issues a user ID and a password to the buyer and the supplier, and makes a contact via the network.

Step 1130: When the buyer wants eMP to introduce a supplier (supplier), he first accesses the eMP site in order to send transaction item information to the eMP site. Then, using the issued user ID and password, the user logs in to the member page.

Step 1140: Next, the buyer accesses the supplier introduction page after logging in to the member page.

Step 1150: The buyer then accesses the quality assessment system on the supplier introduction page.

Step 1160: When the quality evaluation system is accessed, the information input screen for the supplier quality level evaluation program is displayed. Therefore, enter the quality condition information of the supplier, which is necessary to calculate the quality level required of the supplier who wishes to trade, and send it to the eMP site.

Step 1170: The eMP site receives the quality condition information of the supplier from the buyer, and based on the information, calculates the quality level index by the supplier quality level evaluation program in the eMP system.

Step 1180: The eMP site uses the information of the supplier quality level index (required value) calculated based on the supplier quality condition information requested by the buyer, and searches for a supplier matching the level. The matching uses the supplier quality level index (actual supplier value) calculated based on the supplier quality condition information sent in advance from the supplier and the supplier quality level index (request value). As a matching method, there are a method of searching for a supplier that meets the requirements of the buyer, a method of searching for a supplier that has a small deviation from the requirement level of the buyer, and the like.

Step 1190: The eMP site sends to the buyer the result of matching in step 180, that is, the quality level information of the matched supplier, together with the supplier quality level index calculated by step 170 and required by the buyer. To send via.

Step 1200: The buyer sends the above step 18 together with the supplier quality level index required by the buyer calculated in step 170 sent by the eMP site.
The result of matching at 0, that is, the quality level information of the matched supplier is received, the content is examined, the supplier who wishes to trade is selected, and the selection result is transmitted to the eMP site. Step 1210: The eMP site receives the supplier information from the buyer who wants to trade, and introduces the supplier corresponding to the information to the buyer.

The supplier quality level evaluation calculation method in the above-described embodiment of the present invention can be carried out by the method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-042926.

Next, an example of the matching calculation method in step 180 will be described with reference to FIG.

The eMP operator calculates the number of tradeable buyers based on the supplier's voluntary evaluation quality result. The number of buyers registered in the eMP site is jn. First, the supplier's voluntary evaluation quality result RUi is input as input information. If the quality result desired by the buyer stored in the buyer quality information DB is RYj, Ni = Ni + 1 is set when RUi is RYj or more, and this is calculated from the buyer numbers j = 1 to jn. When the buyer number j = jn is calculated, the supplier Ui's voluntary evaluation quality result RU
The number of buyers Ni that can be traded with i is calculated. The matching calculation in step 1180 can be similarly calculated as shown in FIG. 12 by using the supplier's voluntary evaluation quality result stored in the supplier quality information DB.

Next, the calculation of the degree of matching between the supplier's voluntary evaluation quality result and the buyer's desired quality result, which is executed when the supplier extracts tradeable buyers, will be described. (FIG. 6) The number of quality evaluation categories classified in the quality evaluation system is kn, and the number of buyers registered in the eMP site is jn. First, as the input information, the voluntary evaluation quality result RUi of the supplier and the quality result RkUi (k = 1 to n) for each category are input. Buyer quality information
Let RkYj be the quality result for each category desired by the buyer stored in the DB, and the matching degree: Mij between the quality result desired by the buyer and the supplier's voluntary evaluation quality result: Mij
It is calculated by the following formula.

[0056]

[Equation 1]

This is calculated from the buyer numbers j = 1 to jn. When the calculation is performed up to the buyer number j = jn, the matching degree Mij (j = 1 to jn) between the voluntary evaluation quality result of the supplier Ui and the quality result desired by the buyer is calculated. The closer the value of the matching degree Mij is to 0, the smaller the difference between the quality evaluation of the supplier and the quality evaluation desired by the buyer, and the higher the matching degree between the two.

The calculation of the degree of matching between the quality result desired by the buyer and the supplier self-evaluation quality result, which is executed when the buyer extracts a tradeable supplier, can be similarly calculated as shown in FIG.

Next, an example of an input screen for the supplier to input quality information for calculating the quality of the company is shown.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the input screen. As the display items, the evaluation category (151), the question for quality evaluation (1
52) and answer (153) are displayed. The supplier checks the answer corresponding to each question in the check box, and finally the user ID (1
54) and the password (155) are input. And
The quality information and the user information are transmitted to the eMP site by clicking the “Send” (156) button.
When inputting quality information for calculating the quality desired by the buyer, the input screen as shown in FIG. 14 is also used. Based on these answers, the eMP system 11
Perform quality evaluation calculations.

FIG. 8 shows an output example of the result output to the output means on the supplier side via the network. Here, although the result output is shown as an example of being displayed on a Web browser via the Internet, it may be transmitted to the supplier by e-mail or the like. FIG. 8 shows, as output items of the quality result, the supplier's voluntary evaluation quality score RUi (601) calculated by the quality evaluation system and the defect occurrence rate (60
2), defect detection capability (603), defect response capability (60)
4) Also, as the buyer number information, the number of tradeable buyers (605), the number of buyers registered on the eMP site (606), and the distribution chart (607) of the quality results desired by the registered buyers. Is. As a detailed result of the quality result, the quality evaluation result (609) for each category classified in the quality evaluation system may be displayed (see FIG. 9).

The buyer outputs the quality result (601 to 60).
By referring to 4), it is possible to quantitatively understand the quality of the company. In addition, information on the number of buyers (605-60
By referring to 7), it is possible to grasp the number of buyers who can trade with their own quality, the quality distribution desired by registered buyers, and the relative relationship between their own quality. Especially when the number of buyers that can be traded is low or the result is small,
It can be used to quantitatively judge how much quality should be improved to increase the number of tradeable buyers. The following is an example output where the supplier can view detailed information for each registered buyer. FIG. 10 is an example in which the results of ranking the buyers in descending order of matching degree between the supplier's voluntary evaluation quality result and the desired quality result of the registered buyer (order of matching degree) are output. As an output item,
Quality score ranking (610), matching degree ranking (61
1), a company name (initial etc.) (612), a quality result (613), and a divergence degree (614) which is a matching degree. Further, there are provided a "details" button (615) showing a detailed result of matching with each buyer and an "introduction" button (616) for conducting a transaction with each buyer.
Here, the quality score ranking (610) is equal to the quality result (61
3) are ranked in descending order of numerical value, and the matching degree ranking (611) is the matching degree, which is the deviation degree (61).
It is ranked in ascending order of the numerical value of 4). The supplier can select the buyer having the smaller matching degree value (the higher matching rank) by looking at the output display arranged in the matching order. Also, by clicking the “Detail” button (615) showing the detailed result of matching with each buyer, as shown in FIG. 11, it is possible to compare the result of each category of the buyer quality and the own company's quality. By knowing if there is a shortage, you can utilize it for future transactions. In particular, even if the quality of the company does not reach the desired quality of the buyer slightly, the matching degree becomes small, so that the buyer is ranked in the high order arranged in the matching order. Therefore, it is possible to know which category is lacking regarding the desired quality of the buyer whose own quality was slightly underachieved, so it is possible to make transactions with the buyer by improving their own quality. It can be used as a reference for determining whether or not.

FIG. 15 shows an output example of the result output to the output means on the buyer side via the network. here,
The result output shows an example in which it is displayed on a Web browser via the Internet, but it may be sent to the buyer by mail or the like. FIG. 15 shows quality items RUi (1601) desired by the buyer, defect occurrence rate (1602), calculated by the quality evaluation system, as output items of the quality result.
Defect detection power (1603), defect occurrence coping power (160
4) Also, as the information on the number of suppliers, the number of suppliers (1605) that satisfies the quality desired by the buyer, e

reference).

The buyer outputs the quality result (1601 to 1).
By referring to (604), it is possible to quantitatively grasp the quality desired by oneself. Further, by referring to the supplier number information (1605 to 1607), it is possible to grasp the number of buyers who satisfy the quality desired by the supplier, the quality distribution of the registered suppliers, and the relative relationship between the quality desired by the supplier. Especially when there are no or few suppliers that satisfy your desired quality,
It can be used to quantitatively judge how much quality should be reduced and how many more relevant suppliers should be added.

Next, an output example in which the buyer can see detailed information for each registered supplier is shown. FIG. 17
Is an example of outputting the results of ranking the suppliers in descending order of the self-evaluation quality results of the registered suppliers (in order of quality score). As an output item, the quality score ranking (61
0), matching degree ranking (1611), company name (initial etc.) (1612), quality result (1613), matching degree (1614). Further, a "details" button (1615) showing the detailed result of matching with each supplier and an "introduction" button (1616) for conducting a transaction with each supplier are provided. Here, the quality score ranking (1610) is ranked in descending order of the numerical value of the quality result (1613), and the matching degree ranking (161
1) are ranked in ascending order of the numerical value of the matching degree (1614). When a buyer wants to select a supplier with high quality, he / she can select a supplier with a high quality score for trading, and when he / she wants to select a supplier closest to the desired quality, he / she selects a supplier with a small matching degree value. be able to. In addition, "Details" button (16) showing the detailed results of matching with each supplier
If you click 15), you can compare the supplier quality with the result for each category of your desired quality as shown in Fig. 18, and use it for future transactions by grasping which category is missing. can do. In particular, if the ranking shown above is performed for all registered suppliers, including those that have not reached the desired quality of the buyer, the quality score of the supplier that does not reach the desired quality can be determined by any category. Since it is possible to grasp whether or not there is a shortage, it is possible to refer to whether or not to make a transaction taking into account the unachieved quality in each category, instead of simply cutting off the quality score.

[0066]

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the buyer side can easily procure by using the quality level evaluation program that quantitatively evaluates the quality level of the supplier from a plurality of condition information of the supplier manufacturing process. The quality level required for the previous manufacturing process can be presented, and the supplier himself / herself can easily evaluate the quality level of the own process and present the quality level of the own process to the buyer. In this way, the quality index based on the common evaluation standard can be exchanged with each other via the network at the time of the transaction, so that the buyer can obtain the required quality level and the quality of the supplier who is the candidate for the supplier. It will be possible to compare the levels and to understand the divergence between them. In addition, it is possible to compare multiple suppliers in terms of quality. On the other hand, the supplier can understand the required quality level from the buyer, and can easily select the transaction item that matches his quality level, and the difference between the required quality level of the item to be transacted and his own quality level. This makes it possible to set quantitative quality improvement targets.

As described above, the present invention contributes to efficient procurement and distribution of high quality products.
