Abstract

Proposed is a method for the automatic use of storage facilities (9) using computer-controlled cross-linked operational steps executed by programme modules. The method calls for at least one storage module (2) and a supply module (3), and preferably also includes an input/output module (4) and a statistics module (5). The modules interact with each other and with their environment. The storage module (2) is used to determine the stock inventory and to release orders (19). The supply module (3) is used to assign articles to a particular type of management and declare orders (19). The input/output module (4) is used to approve, execute and report the acceptance (30) and delivery (39) of goods. If necessary, the input/output module can be divided into an input module (6) and an output module (7). The statistics module (5) is used to collect information from the other modules, calculate relevant parameters from this information and report these parameters to the other modules and to the environment (16).

description

The invention relates to a method for automatic storage use in industry, trade and commerce and means for its implementation according to the preambles of the independent claims.

In operational goods circulation, ordered goods are rarely used in production immediately after delivery, but are initially stored. Warehouses are buffers between the procurement, production and sales areas and have the task of absorbing irregularities, uncertainties and risks. Business management differentiates between shopping, intermediate and sales warehouses. Important partial decisions in warehousing relate to inventory levels and - closely linked to this - order quantities (or lot sizes). The aim of the decisions is to minimize the total costs; An additional condition is the smooth running of production and sales.

The state of the art distinguishes between different types of management, i.e. Different article groups are treated differently with regard to material planning. For those articles that make up a large part of inventory turnover, consumption-based management has proven its worth; other types of management, such as order-based management, special management or replacement management, are suitable for articles with lower inventory turnover. With consumption-based management, major cost savings can be achieved. So far, however, there are no procedures which rationally and unambiguously assign a certain article to consumption-based management or another type of management. This often leads to wrong decisions and thus to excessive stocks or shortages.

In order to determine the optimal order quantity, it is assumed according to the state of the art that the total costs consist of storage and order costs. The storage costs arise mainly from the return on the capital tied up in the warehouse. The order costs (or set-up costs) include the purchase costs that arise regardless of the quantity procured or the set-up costs in production. For small order quantities, small storage, but large order costs are incurred, for large order quantities it is the other way round. In between is an optimal order quantity, which is calculated using the Andler formula or similar formulas (De Valier, Schneider / Fischer), for example. These formulas do not take inventory costs into account, i.e. those costs that have to be invested to build up the inventory. They therefore result in unnecessarily large order quantities and thus unnecessarily large inventories, i.e. tied-up capital. This goes hand in hand with unnecessarily large production stocks, i.e. also tied-up capital.

Another disadvantage of known procurement and warehousing methods is that they require personnel who write orders, take care of inventory planning, etc. Therefore, these methods result in relatively high personnel costs, a greater expenditure of time and hardly avoidable miscalculations and manipulations. Arithmetical rules that are difficult for mathematically untrained personnel, for example for calculating the optimal order quantity, increase the risk of errors.

The invention has for its object to provide a method for automatic warehouse use and to create means for its execution, with the aim of firstly reducing the inventory and thus the manufacturing inventory, secondly, all orders relating to disposition, order writing and working paper production without manual intervention by any person thirdly, to specify decision rules for the assignment of a specific article to consumption-based management and fourthly to control subsidies with tax data. This results in a sharp reduction in costs (smaller, medium-sized inventories, savings in labor costs) and a simplification and acceleration of the processes in material management.

The object is achieved by the method according to the invention and the means according to the invention for its execution, as defined in the patent claims.

In the method according to the invention, management data are essentially converted into corresponding control data for controlling subsidies as parameters in at least two interconnected modules of computer programs. The at least two modules are a storage module and a procurement module. The basic procedure can be expanded by an input / output module and a statistics module. There are interactions between the "inner" modules and between the modules and the environment. The warehouse module monitors the inventory, orders are placed according to certain order criteria defined in rules and the internal warehouse structure is "organized". The procurement module assigns a management type to each article in accordance with certain management criteria defined in rules and orders are manifested and sent in accordance with a specific lot size formula. The input / output module approves, initiates and reports goods acceptances and deliveries. The statistics module collects information from other modules, calculates certain sizes from them, and reports these sizes to other modules and the environment.

The means according to the invention include at least one processor for controlling and influencing a flow of goods in a company and its environment, an automatic data transmission system for ordering articles from a supplier or a production site, a warehouse in which articles can be stored in loading units, a goods receiving point and one Goods issue point with input and display means, a marking device for marking the

individual delivered articles with a code, a loading and unloading device for loading the loading units, conveyors for transport, handling, storage or retrieval of goods, and an automatic data transmission system for the realization of interactions between different parts of the system thus formed.

There are at most minor changes for the application of the method according to the invention to intermediate or sales warehouses, to which reference is made where possible in the following description. It may not be possible to differentiate between shopping, intermediate and sales warehouse by location or function in a company; The method and system according to the invention can also be used in this case.

The method according to the invention itself is represented by the large central circle 1. It is composed of at least two networked process areas, which are implemented in program modules, represented by smaller ellipses: a storage module 2 and a procurement module 3. It is preferably expanded by an input / output module 4 and a statistics module 5. If necessary, the input / output module 4 can be divided into an input module 6 and an output module 7, as in this example. All of these modules 2-7 are independent components of the method according to the invention with limited, assigned functions. Other structuring of the method is also possible. The modules 2-7 can be implemented in terms of hardware or software, preferably as subroutines or parts of a computer program or as independent processors or computers networked with one another. There are interactions between the modules and between the modules and the environment, represented by arrows; dashed arrows mean information transfer (for example the notification of a certain size), solid arrows mean an effect (for example the triggering of an order). The interactions are realized using suitable data transmission systems.

• The Laaermodule

The storage module 2 has four tasks.

First, the storage module 2 determines the stock level, that is, it always stores current information about the quantity of each item stored.

Secondly, the storage module 2 triggers orders from the procurement module 3, which is indicated by the arrow 8. An order for a specific article must be triggered according to the invention at time to when a first order criterion according to the invention

VB (to)> MB (B1)

is fulfilled or a second ordering criterion VB (to + WF) <SB (B2)

is fulfilled or the first and second order criteria are fulfilled at the same time.

Where:

to the current time,

WF the replacement period,

VB the available stock,

MB the reorder point and SB the safety stock.

MB = (MV / 20) WF f,

in which

(MV / 20) the average daily consumption and a safety factor f according to the invention is defined as follows:

f = 12 / (number of months with consumption per year).

Table 1 shows the possible values for the safety factor f.

A safety stock SB according to the invention in the second ordering criterion (B2) is calculated

SB = MB - (MV / 20) WF = (MV / 20) WF (f - 1).

2 and 3 show, based on two different examples, courses of effective stocks EB (t) of a specific article as a function of time t. In the example of FIG. 2, the order is triggered at time to according to the first order criterion (B1), in the example of FIG. 3 according to the second order criterion (B2). In summary, it can be said that compliance with the ordering criteria (B1) and (B2) according to the invention on the one hand prevents excessive ordering and storage costs and on the other hand guarantees a high level of readiness for delivery for each article.

Third, the bearing module 2 organizes the internal structure of a bearing 9, indicated by the arrow 10; For this purpose, it contains a clear illustration of the warehouse 9. The warehouse module 2 takes into account which articles are assigned to consumption-controlled management and which are assigned to special management. The distinction between different types of management allows an optimal spatial organization of the warehouse 9: For example, consumption-managed articles, which account for a large part of the warehouse turnover, can be stored in easily accessible locations 11 of the warehouse, whereas specially managed articles, which account for a small part of the warehouse turnover, can be stored locations that are more difficult to access 12. Details of the storage technology, such as the type of storage system, the structural design of the storage 9 or the storage and conveying means used, are insignificant for the method according to the invention.

Fourth, the warehouse module 2 reports information about the inventory to other modules. Such information is indicated by arrows 13 and 14 and is commented on below.

The procurement module

The procurement module 3 has four tasks.

First, the procurement module 3 automatically assigns certain articles to the consumption-controlled and certain articles to the special management, indicated by the arrow 15. An article is to be managed in a consumption-controlled manner if it also has a first management criterion according to the invention

Qwo <Qw (W1)

and a second management criterion according to the invention 1.00 <f <1.33 (W2)

are fulfilled. In the first management criterion (W1) is

QwO = V [2 Kr / (1 + z) V / (V / Ks)]

a decision lot size according to the invention and

Qw = <{2 V Kr / [KS Fv (1 + z)]}. (D)

a first lot size according to the invention. It means:

Kr the set-up or ordering costs,

Ks the unit price,

z the storage interest rate and V the annual consumption;

The procurement module 3 receives this data from an environment 16, for example the management, and from the statistics module 5, indicated by the arrows 17 and 18 respectively. In the second management criterion (W2), f is the inventive security factor described above and tabulated in Table 2.

A dynamic consumption factor Fv according to the invention in the first lot size formula (D) has the property of increasing with increasing annual consumption V; it reduces inventory and storage costs, especially for items with high annual consumption V. It can be defined in different ways. A first example is the definition of the dynamic consumption factor Fv

Fv =

1 for V <0.1

10 / (9 - log10V) for 0.1 <V <108

10 for IO8 <V.

The dynamic consumption factor Fv according to this definition is plotted as a continuous curve 51 in FIG. 4 as a function of the annual consumption V (logarithmic scale). A second possible definition for the dynamic consumption factor Fv is given by Tab. 2 and recorded as a stair curve 52 in Fig. 4. These two definitions provide similar values for Fv; the second definition is simpler in that it assigns a constant value for Fv to each consumption decade. In a third variant of the method according to the invention, the dynamic consumption factor Fv can be omitted from the first lot size formula (D), i.e. regardless of the annual consumption V be set to one. Even this simplest variant results in a considerable optimization of the inventory.

In summary, it can be said that an article according to the management criteria (W1) and (W2) according to the invention is then assigned to consumption-controlled management when its annual consumption V is high and its unit price Ks is low.

Second, the procurement module 3 manifests orders 19 as soon as these, indicated by the arrow 8, are triggered by the storage module 2. The manifestation of orders includes, for example, the calculation of the order quantity, the printing of the orders, the sending of orders, etc. An order 19 can be printed out automatically and transmitted to a supplier 20 by fax or another first automatic data transmission system. The optimal order quantity or lot size is given by the first lot size formula according to the invention, already specified above

Qw = V {2 V Kr / [KS Fv (1 + z)]}. (D)

Fig. 5-7 illustrate the first batch size formula (D) and its effects on the medium inventory and the readiness to deliver. 5, the costs K are plotted against the order quantity or lot size Q. Curve 53 represents the set-up or ordering costs Kr, which decrease with 1 / Q. Curve 54 represents the sum of inventory and storage costs Kb + Kl, which increase in proportion to Q. Finally, curve 55 shows the total costs Kr + (Kb + Kl); it has a minimum for a lot size Qw, the value of which is given by the first lot size formula (D). The first batch size formula (D) therefore minimizes the total costs. For comparison with the prior art, the storage costs Kl are also plotted as curve 56 in FIG. 5 and the sum of set-up and storage costs Kr + Kl as curve 57. The latter curve also has a minimum, which is due to the well-known Andler formula

QA = V {2 V Kr / [Ks Z]}

given is. As can be seen, the first lot size Qw according to the invention is smaller than the known Andler lot size Qa. This fact results in a reduction in inventories and costs owed to the present invention, indicated in FIG. 5 by an arrow.

Fig. 6 illustrates a reduction in the average inventory according to the invention; it shows qualitatively the * inventory LB (t) as a function of time t. If one assumes the simplifying assumption that the inventory level LB (t) decreases linearly with time t and that the lot size Q is supplied as soon as the inventory level LB (t) has dropped to zero, then the time history of the inventory level LB (t ) the shape of a sawtooth curve. In this case, the average inventory over a longer period is

<LB> = Q / 2.

With the well-known Andler lot size Qa, 30 larger quantities are ordered at longer intervals; the corresponding sawtooth curve bears the reference number 58. With the first lot size Qw according to the invention, however, smaller quantities are ordered at shorter intervals; the corresponding sawtooth curve bears the reference number 59. With the method according to the invention, reductions in the average stock level Q / 2 by more than 50% compared to the known Andler method can be achieved, indicated in FIG. 6 by an arrow.

Thirdly, the procurement module 3 checks with each order whether the readiness to deliver is sufficiently high and, if necessary, increases the order quantity. The readiness for delivery is the part of the need for an article that can be covered from the warehouse at the requested times.

Of course, the reduction in the average inventory level Q / 2 also goes hand in hand with a reduction in the readiness to deliver Li. In Fig. 7, the readiness for delivery is Li as a function of the average inventory

Q / 2 plotted for a specific calculation example. In this example, the decrease in the readiness to deliver Li is easily manageable: Halving the average inventory level Q / 2 results in a reduction in the readiness to deliver Li by just a few percent. The reductions are indicated in the figures by arrows.

In other examples, however, the “blind” use of the first batch size formula (D) could lead to a decrease in the readiness to deliver Li below a tolerable level, which could result in customer dissatisfaction or a production shutdown in one's own company. To prevent this, the procurement module 3 calculates the readiness for delivery with each order

Li = 100 - V / (6 Qw).

The procurement module compares this readiness for delivery Li with a critical readiness to deliver threshold Li, which is predetermined by the environment 16, for example by the management (indicated by arrow 17). For example, ük = 95%. If

Li <LiK (L)

is, the lot size Qw according to (D) is not ordered, but a second (critical) lot size according to the invention

Qk W [6 (100 - ük)] ■ (K)

This ensures that the specified critical readiness to deliver is just reached and at the same time the average inventory is as small as possible. In summary, it can be said that compliance with a certain readiness for delivery is a secondary condition when optimizing the inventory.

The procurement module 3 also manifests orders for specially managed articles that are not subject to the first lot size formula (D).

Fourth, the procurement module 3 reports information about orders to other modules. Such information relates in particular to the open orders OB, which the storage module 2 requires for evaluating the order criteria (B1) and (B2) and which are represented by an arrow 21, or information 22 for the statistics module 5.

The input / output module

The input / output module 4 approves, initiates and reports goods receipts 30 and goods deliveries 39, indicated by the arrows 29 and 38, respectively. If necessary, it can be divided into an input module 6 and an output module 7, which is the case in the example of FIG. 1 .

An order 19 triggers a delivery 23 from the supplier 20 after a certain time. If the warehouse 9 under consideration is not a shopping but an intermediate or sales warehouse, the box 20 represents the production. As soon as the delivery, symbolized by a truck 24, has arrived at a goods receiving point at the entrance to the warehouse 9 is, the input module 6 becomes active. It first accepts information 25 about the delivered articles and the delivered quantity via suitable first input means. It also immediately reports this information to storage module 2, procurement module 3 and statistics module 5, indicated by arrows 26-28. If the delivery 24 is unforeseen and there is no space for it in the warehouse 9, the storage module 2 would report this by means of suitable first display means, indicated by a row 13. Otherwise, the input module 6 approves the acceptance 29 of the delivery 24 via the second display means. The individual delivered articles are marked by a suitable marking device with a code corresponding to the storage system used. The input module 6 initiates the loading 30 of the loading units used by a suitable first loading device. Then it hands over the delivery to the storage module 2 for storage. The whole process can optionally run more or less automatically.

If the production 31 requires certain stored articles, it triggers a reservation 32 at the storage module 2. If the warehouse 9 under consideration is not a shopping or intermediate warehouse but a sales warehouse, then the box 31 represents the customer. To pick up the reserved items, a means of transport, symbolized by an arrow 33 and a forklift 34, is dispatched . As soon as the means of transport 34 has arrived at a goods issue point of the warehouse 9, the output module 7 becomes active. It first accepts information 35 about the reserved articles and the ordered quantity via suitable second input means.

It also immediately reports this information to storage module 2 and statistics module 5, indicated by arrows 36 and 37. If one or more of the items ordered are missing in storage 9, storage module 2 would report this by means of suitable second display means, indicated by an arrow 14 Otherwise, the output module 7 authorizes the delivery 38 of the reserved articles via the second display means. The output module 7 takes over the ordered items from the storage module 2 and ver7

starts the loading 39 of the transport means 34 by a suitable device. Depending on company practice, it can issue a pro forma invoice 40 to production 31 for internal delivery. If the warehouse 9 under consideration is a sales warehouse, the output module 7 itself issues an invoice 40 to the customer 31 or initiates an invoicing in accounting.

The statistics module

The statistics module 5 continuously collects relevant information about orders 19, deliveries 30 and deliveries 39 from other modules 3 and 4, indicated by the arrows 22, 28 and 37, respectively. From this information, it calculates the quantities replacement period WF, security factor f, introduced above. Annual consumption V and dynamic consumption factor Fv and passes them on to modules 2 and 3, indicated by arrows 41 and 18. Statistics module 5 therefore has the important task of also incorporating the latest developments into the calculations and thus the inventory in predictive optimization automatically.

The statistics module 5 also provides the environment 16, for example the management, with relevant information 42. These include, on the one hand, the quantities of the replacement period WF, safety factor f and dynamic consumption factor fv introduced above. Furthermore, the information 42 also includes a monthly ratio variable according to the invention

Ym = (number of withdrawals per month) / (reference quantity per month) and an annual ratio according to the invention

Yj = (number of purchases per year) / (reference quantity per year).

The larger the ratio sizes Y, the greater the activities in warehouse 9 and production 31. The ratio sizes Y are therefore indicators of the load on the warehouse personnel and provide information about seasonal peaks and underloads. The information 42 to the environment 16 also includes the delivery deviation

A te - tA.

Therein, tE means the actual date of receipt of an ordered article and tA = to + WF the date of delivery, i.e. the expected date of receipt of the item in question.

Delivery deviation A is a means of supplier qualification; it should be as small as possible, because deliveries 22 that are too early or too late are detrimental to an optimal stock level. The information 42 represents a means of control for the environment 16 and forms the basis for possible influences 43 or 44, for example on delivery or reservation discipline.

In summary, the method according to the invention for the automatic use of bearings in one or more bearings 9, management data being converted as parameters in mutually networked modules 2, 3 of computer programs into corresponding control data for controlling funds, at least one storage module 2 and one procurement module 3. With the storage module 2, the inventory is determined, orders 19 are triggered on the basis of management data 8 when a first order criterion is fulfilled or a second order criterion is fulfilled or the first and second order criteria are fulfilled at the same time, and tax data are determined with which the funding for the Goods transport, for handling, the storage or retrieval of goods can be controlled. Using a procurement module, those articles for which a first management criterion and a second management criterion are simultaneously fulfilled are automatically assigned to consumption-controlled management on the basis of management data, and the other articles are automatically assigned to special management; With the procurement module, data are also determined according to a first lot size formula or a second lot size formula and processed as orders 19 and optionally sent as soon as they are triggered by the storage module 2, the second lot size formula (K) being used if a readiness to deliver Li exceeds a critical delivery threshold ük falls below, and the first lot size formula (D) is used in all other cases.

The method is preferably expanded by an input / output module 4 and a statistics module 5. With the input / output module 4, goods acceptance 30 and goods deliveries 39 are approved and initiated and reported to other modules. If necessary, the input / output module 4 can be divided into an input module 6 and an output module 7. The statistics module 5 continuously collects information from other modules, calculates relevant variables from this information and reports these variables to other modules and to an environment 16. If necessary, two or

several process or program modules 2-7 can be summarized. The method according to the invention can be used in shopping warehouses, intermediate warehouses, sales warehouses or in combinations thereof.

Means for carrying out the method according to the invention have at least the following components. A flow of goods in a company and its environment is controlled and influenced with a processor. With a first automatic data transmission system, articles are ordered from a supplier or a production site 20. A warehouse 9, which has a warehouse entrance and a warehouse exit and in which articles can be stored in loading units, has a goods receiving point at the warehouse entrance, at which first input means for receiving information 25 about the delivered articles, first display means for approval 29 or rejection of a Goods acceptance 30, a labeling device for labeling the individual delivered articles with a code and a first loading device for loading the loading units. The warehouse 9 has a goods issue point at the warehouse exit, at which there are second input means for receiving information 35 about the reserved articles, second display means for approval 38 or rejection of a goods issue 39 and a second loading device for loading a means of transport 34. Funding is used to transport, handle, store or remove goods. Interactions between different parts of the system are realized with a second data transmission system.
