Equipment guarantee resource management method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of equipment guarantee, in particular to an equipment guarantee resource management method and system.
Background
Equipment assurance resource management refers to managing the materials required by the equipment repair and maintenance process. The system generally provides the functions of inquiring the inventory quantity of the parts and requesting the parts on line, specifically, the inquiring of the inventory quantity of the parts refers to one or more management terminals inquiring the inventory management server about the inventory state of one or more parts, and the requesting of the parts on line refers to one or more management terminals actually ordering the parts from the inventory management server and carrying out the ex-warehouse operation on the corresponding parts according to the orders of the management terminals by the inventory management server.
During operation of existing systems, users often experience the following problems: when a user operates the management terminal to inquire the inventory quantity of the parts, the management terminal displays that the parts have more inventory; based on the display of the management terminal, the user places an order for the part (i.e. performs an operation of requesting the part online), but after the user places the order for the part, the order cannot be executed due to insufficient inventory of the part, and in the case of maintenance of the factory equipment, the occurrence of such a situation causes a subsequent series of operations, thereby reducing the maintenance efficiency of the factory equipment. This technical problem cannot be avoided by the existing systems due to certain inherent drawbacks of the existing systems.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages that the numerical operation logic of the current inventory database has inherent defects, so that the inventory quantity of the parts cannot correctly predict the actual demand of a user on certain parts, and finally the management terminal has unsuccessful requirement on using the parts. For example, a user may be querying a part inventory to indicate that a part is sufficient, but the user may be requesting the part by placing an order, and may indicate that the part is insufficient. This discrepancy results in inefficiency in factory maintenance. The method of the present invention prevents the occurrence of the aforementioned contradictions by proposing a new operating logic for the database.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention is, therefore, to be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it is to be understood that the scope of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.
Through research, the management terminal displays that more parts are in stock when the management terminal performs part stock quantity query operation, but the main reason that the management terminal displays that the parts are in stock is insufficient when the management terminal places a list of the parts is that the numerical operation logic of the current database has inherent defects, so that the part stock quantity cannot accurately predict the actual requirement of a user on certain parts, and finally the management terminal requires unsuccessful use of the parts. The specific analysis is as follows: the operating logic of existing systems is that if a user only interrogates the inventory quantity of a certain part, the inventory management server only provides the user with the current inventory quantity of that part, but the prior art is unaware that when a user interrogates the inventory quantity of a certain part, the user will typically then actually place an order for that part, resulting in a reduction in the inventory quantity of that part. Thus, if the user a and the user B simultaneously inquire the stock quantity of the part A5, both the user a and the user B can get feedback that the stock quantity of the part A5 is sufficient, then the user a may first order the part A5, and the stock management server also transfers the part A5 to the user a, at this time, if the user B only orders the part A5 to the stock management server, a part of the part A5 is transferred to the user a, so that the current part A5 is not in stock enough and cannot be transferred to the user B. Then from the perspective of user B, it appears that user B is sufficient to query part A5 for inventory of part A5, but that user B is not sufficient to place an order for part A5. Unlike a general e-commerce shopping scenario, in a factory environment, since the unit price of each part is high, and many parts need to be ordered to a factory several months in advance, once such a problem of numerical contradiction occurs, a factory generally needs to start a cumbersome investigation procedure to determine a specific cause of the occurrence of the numerical contradiction (for example, the numerical contradiction may be caused by a memory failure, may be caused by a data entry error, may be caused by an inventory number display error in the inquiry process, etc., and the investigation process is cumbersome because all the foregoing possible causes are to be examined). The method of the present invention prevents the occurrence of the aforementioned contradictions by proposing a new operating logic for the database.
Example 1
FIG. 1 is a schematic system architecture diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the system of the present invention includes: a plurality of management terminals (wherein the management terminals may be, for example, handheld electronic devices of maintenance personnel (i.e., users) in a factory, such as tablet computers, smartphones or notebook computers, etc.), an inventory management server (an inventory management server is used to manage an inventory database and is responsible for giving instructions to a warehouse to bring out parts required by users) and an actual warehouse.
Example 2
FIG. 2 is a method flow diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of:
step 1: transmitting, by the management terminal A1, part inquiry information A2 to the inventory management server, wherein the part inquiry information A2 includes a part number A3 and an inventory data update instruction A4; in one example, the inventory data update command A4 includes at least a part update value, for example, the inventory data update command A4 may include a part update value of "-5", and the inventory management server may decrease the inventory number of the part A5 corresponding to the part number A3 by 5 after receiving the inventory data update command A4; in one example, since the management terminal is currently in the parts inventory query phase, the management terminal may not be able to ask the user to estimate the number of finally requested parts in advance without knowing the parts A5 inventory status, so the parts update value may be generated based on a history, for example, the user of the management terminal has requested at most 5 parts A5 at a time according to the history, then the parts update value "-5" may be generated according to the history, for example, the parts update value may also be generated according to the factory requirements, for example, the factory specification specifies that only at most 5 parts A5 may be requested at a time by a single user, then the parts update value "-5" may also be generated; the above examples are illustrative and not limiting, and other reasonable ways of generating part update values may be devised based on the present disclosure;
step 2: after the inventory management server receives the part inquiry information A2, the inventory management server inquires the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 in the inventory database based on the part number A3, wherein the part A5 corresponds to the part number A3;
step 3: if the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 is larger than the threshold value, updating the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 by the inventory management server based on the inventory data updating instruction A4 to obtain the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5; in one example, the threshold value may be set based on factory-related specifications, in general, the factory interior will ensure a minimum inventory of each part, once the number of parts reaches a warning line, the factory purchasing department will need to begin purchasing parts, while only the parts with the minimum inventory that may be required to be distributed for use by engineers with advanced rights to handle some of the urgent maintenance tasks cannot be used by general maintenance workers;
step 4: after the inventory management server obtains the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5, marking the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5 as recoverable data by the inventory management server; in one example, marking inventory quantity B6 of part A5 as recoverable data means that inventory quantity B6 of part A5 is updated based on certain part inquiry information, the change in data not occurring due to actual changes in the quantity of part A5 in the physical warehouse;
step 5: after the inventory management server obtains the inventory quantity B6 of the parts A5, the inventory management server sends an indication of sufficient inventory of the parts A5 to the management terminal A1, wherein the management terminal A1 can send a part extraction instruction to the inventory management server only after the management terminal A1 receives the indication of sufficient inventory of the parts A5.
Example 3
In this embodiment, the method further comprises:
before the inventory management server receives the part extraction instruction, the inventory management server receives part inquiry information B2 sent by the management terminal B1, wherein the part inquiry information B2 comprises a part number A3 and an inventory data updating instruction C4; in one example, the inventory data update command C4 also includes at least a part update value, for example, the inventory data update command C4 may include a part update value of "-3", and the inventory management server may decrease the inventory number of the part A5 corresponding to the part number A3 by 3 (on the premise that the inventory of the part A5 is sufficient) after receiving the inventory data update command A4;
after the inventory management server receives the part inquiry information B2, the inventory management server inquires of the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5 in the inventory database based on the part number A3;
if the inventory quantity B6 of the parts A5 is smaller than the threshold value, an indication of insufficient inventory of the parts A5 is sent by the inventory management server to the management terminal B1. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that if the inventory quantity B6 of the parts A5 is greater than the threshold value, an indication is sent by the inventory management server to the management terminal B1 that the inventory of the parts A5 is sufficient. Thus, in this embodiment, since the inventory management server calculates in advance the number of parts A5 that the management terminal A1 may request on the premise that the management terminal A1 has not received the parts A5 actually requested to be taken out of inventory, and updates the inventory number of the parts A5 to a smaller value "the inventory number B6 of the parts A5" in advance, this embodiment can ensure that if the management terminal B1 gets an indication that the parts A5 are in sufficient inventory, the management terminal B1 can eventually extract a certain number of the parts A5 from the inventory, so that no contradiction will occur.
Example 4
In this embodiment, the method further comprises:
after the inventory management server sends an indication of insufficient inventory of the parts A5 to the management terminal B1, the inventory management server judges whether a part extraction instruction sent by the management terminal A1 is received or not;
if the inventory management server does not receive the part extraction instruction transmitted by the management terminal A1 within a predefined time, restoring the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5 to the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 by the inventory management server; in one example, a serviceman holding the management terminal A1 may have queried the inventory of the part A5 and the inventory of the part B5 again after querying the inventory of the part A5, and after querying the inventory of all the parts B5 and the part C5 by the serviceman holding the management terminal A1, it may decide to use the part B5 and the part C5 for the present repair but not use the part A5; thus, the inventory management server may receive the part extraction instruction (for the part A5) transmitted by the management terminal A1, at which time the inventory management server may restore the inventory quantity of the part A5 to the original inventory quantity A6 of the part A5; in one example, the predefined time may be specified, for example, as 4s, 5s, 6s, or 7s, etc.; it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that after this predefined time, the management terminal A1 can no longer send the part extraction instruction directly, but rather resend the part inquiry information A2;
after the management terminal B1 receives the indication of the inventory shortage of the part A5, the management terminal B1 sends the part inquiry information B2 to the inventory management server again, wherein the part inquiry information B2 comprises a part number A3 and an inventory data updating instruction C4; in the method of the present invention, the management terminal B1 is required to resend the part inquiry information B2 at least once after receiving the indication of the shortage of the inventory of the part A5, because the "inventory quantity B6 of the part A5" is not the "real" inventory quantity of the part A5, and thus, for example, after the management terminal A1 finally decides not to extract the part A5, the inventory management server will "restore" the real value of the part A5 to the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5; subsequently, the management terminal B1 is necessarily required to retransmit the part inquiry information B2 at least once to acquire "real" inventory information of the part A5;
after the inventory management server restores the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5 to the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5, the inventory management server again receives the retransmitted part inquiry information B2.
The method further comprises the steps of: after the inventory management server receives the retransmitted parts inquiry information B2 again, the inventory management server inquires the inventory number A6 of the parts A5 in the inventory database based on the part number A3; if the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 is larger than the threshold value, updating the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 by the inventory management server based on the inventory data updating instruction C4 to obtain the inventory quantity C6 of the part A5; after the inventory management server obtains the inventory number C6 of the part A5, marking the inventory number C6 of the part A5 as recoverable data by the inventory management server; after the inventory management server obtains the inventory number C6 of the parts A5, the inventory management server sends an indication of sufficient inventory of the parts A5 to the management terminal B1, wherein the management terminal B1 can send the parts extraction instruction to the inventory management server only after the management terminal B1 receives the indication of sufficient inventory of the parts A5.
Example 5
In this embodiment, the method further comprises:
if the inventory management server receives the part extraction instruction A7 transmitted by the management terminal A1 within a predefined time, extracting, by the inventory management server, the part number A3, the inventory data update instruction B4, and the part extraction instruction in the part extraction instruction A7;
updating, by the inventory management server, the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5 based on the inventory data update instruction B4 to obtain an inventory quantity D6 of the part A5; in one example, the inventory data update command B4 includes the number of parts A5 actually required by the management terminal A1, where the number of parts A5 actually required by the management terminal A1 may be the same as the part update value in the inventory data update command A4 or may be different from the part update value in the inventory data update command A4;
marking, by the inventory management server, the inventory quantity D6 of the part A5 as unrecoverable data; in one example, since the holder of the management terminal A1 actually takes the part A5, the stock quantity D6 of the part A5 at this time cannot be increased based on the operation of the management terminal A1, for example, the management terminal A1 cannot increase the stock quantity of the part A5 by sending an instruction;
the parts A5 in the warehouse are retrieved by the inventory management server based on the parts extraction instructions.
The method further comprises the steps of:
after the inventory management server updates the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5 to the inventory quantity D6 of the part A5, the inventory management server again receives the retransmitted part inquiry information B2; in the method of the present invention, the management terminal B1 is required to resend the part inquiry information B2 at least once after receiving the indication of the shortage of the inventory of the parts A5, because the "inventory quantity B6 of the parts A5" is not the "real" inventory quantity of the parts A5, and thus, for example, after the management terminal A1 finally decides to extract only a smaller quantity of the parts A5, the inventory management server will "update" the real value of the parts A5 to the inventory quantity D6 of the parts A5; subsequently, the management terminal B1 is necessarily required to retransmit the part inquiry information B2 at least once to acquire "real" inventory information of the part A5;
after the inventory management server receives the retransmitted parts inquiry information B2 again, the inventory management server inquires the inventory number D6 of the parts A5 in the inventory database based on the part number A3;
if the inventory quantity D6 of the part A5 is greater than the threshold value, updating the inventory quantity D6 of the part A5 by the inventory management server based on the inventory data updating instruction C4 to obtain the inventory quantity E6 of the part A5;
after the inventory management server obtains the inventory quantity E6 of the part A5, marking the inventory quantity E6 of the part A5 as recoverable data by the inventory management server;
after the inventory management server obtains the inventory quantity E6 of the parts A5, the inventory management server sends an indication of sufficient inventory of the parts A5 to the management terminal B1, wherein the management terminal B1 can send a part extraction instruction to the inventory management server only after the management terminal B1 receives the indication of sufficient inventory of the parts A5.

after the inventory management server receives the part inquiry information A2, the inventory management server inquires the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 in the inventory database based on the part number A3, wherein the part A5 corresponds to the part number A3;
if the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 is larger than the threshold value, updating the inventory quantity A6 of the part A5 by the inventory management server based on the inventory data updating instruction A4 to obtain the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5;
after the inventory management server obtains the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5, marking the inventory quantity B6 of the part A5 as recoverable data by the inventory management server;
after the inventory management server obtains the inventory quantity B6 of the parts A5, the inventory management server sends an indication of sufficient inventory of the parts A5 to the management terminal A1, wherein the management terminal A1 can send a part extraction instruction to the inventory management server only after the management terminal A1 receives the indication of sufficient inventory of the parts A5.
