Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of embodiments of the invention are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
It is to be understood that the terms "first," "second," and the like as used herein are used herein to describe various concepts, but these concepts are not limited by the terms described above. The above terms are only used to distinguish one concept from another. For example, a first warehouse may be referred to as a second warehouse, and a second warehouse may be referred to as a first warehouse without departing from the scope of the present invention, where the first warehouse and the second warehouse are both warehouses, but are not the same warehouse.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of a method of moving an item of inventory according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for moving inventory items according to the embodiment of the present invention may be specifically performed according to the following steps:
step S101: the bin transfer time required to move all of one inventory item of a first bin to a second bin is predicted.
In an actual application scenario, a process of moving one or more inventory items (including all inventory items) in a first warehouse to a second warehouse is a warehouse moving operation, and for the moved inventory items, the first warehouse is an original warehouse, and the second warehouse is a new warehouse. The method of moving inventory items provided by the present invention is used to move inventory items from a first warehouse to a second warehouse that does not currently store such inventory items. Here, the current time refers to a time before the start of the transfer operation. That is, at the point of time when the transfer is to be started, there are no articles in the new warehouse. According to the existing warehouse moving operation mode, in the warehouse moving process, the original warehouse goods are in a moving state and cannot be produced, and the new warehouse goods do not arrive yet, so that order delay is inevitably caused.
In this step, the warehouse moving time required for executing the warehouse moving operation may be predicted according to specific factors such as the number of warehouse moving articles, the number of workers, and the distance between the first warehouse and the second warehouse. In practical application, when one type of article is moved, the moving time is the time required for moving the article in a full amount; when the plurality of articles are moved, the moving time of each article is the time required for completely moving the plurality of articles. It should be noted that the warehouse moving time may be a continuous specific time period, such as three consecutive days from 1 month and 1 day to 1 month and 3 days; or may be discrete periods of time such as 1 month 1 day, 1 month 3 days, 1 month 5 days, three days.
Step S102: and predicting the consumption amount of the inventory item in the warehouse moving time according to the historical consumption data of the inventory item.
In this step, consumption refers to the shipment of items due to order production, inter-warehouse distribution, etc., and historical consumption data refers to the amount consumed over a historical time interval. The historical time interval may be a time period with a certain historical time as a starting point and a current time as an end point, such as a past year (for the current time). The historical time interval may be divided into a number of statistical periods, which may be a period of relatively small time span, such as one day, two days, or one week. Preferably, the present invention provides two methods for predicting the quantity of consumed goods in the bin moving time:
1. determining an average value of the consumption number of each statistical period in the first historical time interval; and taking the product of the average value and the statistical period number contained in the bin moving time as the consumption number of the stock articles in the bin moving time.
Wherein the first historical time interval belongs to the previous historical time interval. It can be understood that in this method, the average value of the consumed quantity of each statistical period in the first historical time interval is used as the predicted value of each statistical period in the bin moving time, for example, the average value of the consumed quantity of each day (one day is one statistical period) in the first historical time interval is counted as 100, and if the bin moving time is 3 days, the predicted value of the consumed quantity of the bin moving time is 300.
2. Inputting the consumption quantity of each statistical period in a second historical time interval into a pre-trained time sequence prediction model to obtain a consumption quantity prediction value of each statistical period in the bin moving time; and taking the sum of the predicted values of the consumption quantity of each statistical period in the bin moving time as the consumption quantity of the stock articles in the bin moving time. Wherein the first historical time interval belongs to the previous historical time interval.
For example, if the second historical time interval is one year, the statistical period is one day, and the moving time is seven days, then if the current date is 1 month and 1 day of the gregorian calendar 2001, in a specific application, the consumption quantity of the past year (i.e., from 1 month and 1 day of 2000 to 12 months and 31 days of 2000, i.e., 365 statistical periods) can be input into the time sequence prediction model to predict the consumption quantity of each day of the next 7 days (i.e., from 1 month and 1 day of 2001 to 1 month and 7 days), and the sum of the consumption quantities of 7 days is the consumption quantity prediction value of the moving time.
Illustratively, the time sequence prediction model may be an autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model (arima), a long and short Term memory network (lstm) (long short Term memory), or a Holt-windows model (a prediction model composed of a time base part, a time trend part, and a seasonal part).
Step S103: determining the remaining quantity of the stock item in the first warehouse by using the consumption quantity predicted in the step S102; the remaining quantity of the one stock item is left in the first storage and the remaining quantity of the one stock item is moved to the second storage.
In this step, the remaining amount of the conveyed bin item in the first bin may be determined first. In practical application, the consumption amount of the bin moving time predicted in step S102 may be used as the retention amount, or a certain margin may be added on the basis, and the sum of the predicted consumption amount and the preset additional amount is used as the retention amount. The remaining number of items, which is the difference between the total number and the remaining number, may then be left in the first warehouse and moved toward the second warehouse. Therefore, the articles remained in the first warehouse can be used for the order production in the warehouse moving process, so that the actual business is not influenced by the warehouse moving operation.
In a specific application scenario, after the warehouse moving operation is finished (i.e., after the warehouse moving time elapses and the rest of the articles are moved to the second warehouse), the articles remaining in the first warehouse may not be completely consumed within the warehouse moving time. At this time, in order to achieve the purpose of complete warehouse moving (i.e. the articles are all transferred to the second warehouse within a certain time, the first warehouse is not reserved), the subsequent related orders can be preferentially distributed to the first warehouse for production, so as to consume the remaining articles in the first warehouse as soon as possible. It will be understood that the above-mentioned related order necessarily includes such items, and the preferential assignment means: an order is assigned to a first warehouse as it may be assigned to both the first warehouse and a second warehouse.
Through the arrangement, the complete warehouse moving process can be realized, and the adverse effect of warehouse production and actual business caused by warehouse moving operation can be eliminated.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a specific implementation of a method of moving an item of inventory in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 2, the above method of the present invention can be performed according to the following steps:
step S201: and the upstream system issues the bin moving plan to the warehouse management system. The upstream system may be an enterprise resource planning system, and the warehouse moving plan may move all the items in the original warehouse.
Step S202: and the warehouse management system predicts the required bin moving time according to the service condition. In this step, the warehouse management system may predict the time required to complete the warehouse handling operation according to the type and number of warehouse-handling articles, the moving distance, the condition of the staff, and the like.
Step S203: the warehouse management system inputs the historical consumption quantity of each type of warehouse-moving article into the time series prediction model, and the consumption quantity prediction value of each article in the warehouse-moving time can be obtained.
Step S204: the warehouse management system leaves a corresponding quantity of items (which may be the consumption quantity predicted value) in the original warehouse, moves the rest of items to the new warehouse, and returns the stock reduction quantity of the original warehouse to the enterprise resource planning system. The stock reduction amount of each article is the amount of movement to a new warehouse.
Step S205: after the items in the original warehouse are moved to the new warehouse, the warehouse management system transmits the inventory increase amount of the new warehouse back to the enterprise resource planning system. Wherein the stock increase quantity of each item is the quantity moved to the new warehouse.
Step S206: and the warehouse management system checks the articles in the new warehouse and determines whether the types and the quantity of the articles moved to the new warehouse correspond to the moving-out condition of the original warehouse. And after the checking is correct, the warehouse moving operation is completed.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the problem that the user experience is influenced because the order production cannot be carried out in the warehouse moving time is effectively solved by predicting the quantity of the consumed articles in the warehouse moving time and then reserving the articles in the original warehouse.
It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, the foregoing method embodiments are described as a series of acts, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited by the order of acts described, and that some steps may in fact be performed in other orders or concurrently.
