Definitions
- the invention relates to automated industrial processes implemented in a large enterprise. More particularly, the invention relates to the automatic allocation of resources capable of performing a type of action in an industrial process.
- a process can be defined as a set of tasks organized in a sequential or parallel network, combining and implementing multiple corporate resources.
- Each task can be defined as the transformation of one or more task start objects into one or more end-of-task objects by performing one or more actions using one or more operational resources.
- a task can be carried out as soon as conditions of realization are satisfied and subject to time and availability of the resources performing the task.
- the decomposition of a process into tasks is recursive. Each task can itself be broken down into subtasks. Performing a task broken down into sub-tasks is itself a process. The decomposition of a task into sub-tasks can stop when it is no longer possible or no longer necessary to break down the task.
- processes are broken down into tasks and sub-tasks based on a degree of process oversight and the operational capability of the operational resource assigned to a task.
- An industrial process can start when taking an order and can include all the intermediate tasks to be performed by the company until the delivery of the product, delivery being the last task of the process.
- the product supplied by the company depends on the business sector of the company and can correspond to a physical product but also to a service delivery.
- Implementing a process In addition, the industrial sector makes use of various operational resources of the company.
- a resource may be of different nature depending on the type or types of task and action to be performed.
- a production site is an operational resource capable of producing different types of products. But inside this production site, a production team, a production line or a robot constitute separate operational resources able to perform more limited manufacturing actions.
- An intervention team is an operational resource intended to intervene for certain types of actions (troubleshooting, maintenance, or other service action) to be performed in a given geographical area.
- Information technology allows companies to automate more and more the development of an industrial process. Indeed, a customer can place an order online via the Internet.
- the order can then be processed automatically by a server that controls the industrial process relating to the ordered products by sending various action orders to various corporate resources.
- a server that controls the industrial process relating to the ordered products by sending various action orders to various corporate resources.
- a single server can supervise the whole of a process, or the process is managed successively by the different resources implemented.
- a database contains information relating to a category of physical objects. Commonly, all the information relating to a physical object corresponds to a computer object.
- An object computer is a set of structured information according to a type of object. The type of object is determined based on information about the physical objects that you want to describe in the database.
- a database is a set of computer objects defined according to a type of object. Currently, an object type has features specific to the physical objects and information relating to the processing (s) performed on said physical objects.
- the database includes an object associated with each client.
- the structure of each object comprises, on the one hand, customer-specific information and, on the other hand, information specific to the resources in charge of the different services for this customer.
- a product file is a database that contains representative objects of the products. Each object contains product-specific information and information indicating for each product or category of products the resource or resources of the company involved in the processing performed on the product.
- a database that includes computer objects representative of the physical objects.
- Each computing object includes information specific to each physical object and information relating to the processing of each physical object.
- the interrogation of the database makes it possible, for an action or task to be performed, to know which resource is concerned.
- Such a database structure poses a problem of maintaining the databases. When a company reorganizes itself, it changes the distribution and activity of its resources. It is then necessary to Review all databases to edit all resource allocation information. As large companies reorganize regularly to optimize their operational functioning, the non-operational costs generated by this type of operation are significant.
- each company adapts the structure of its databases according to its needs.
- the merging of two companies adds to the problems of reconciliation of the intrinsic properties of the databases of the companies concerned a problem to be solved with regard to the static reallocation of the resources to put them in relation with the objects of the databases concerned.
- the object of the invention is to solve the problems mentioned.
- Databases of computer objects are realized only with intrinsic properties to physical objects.
- Data filters are defined to sort the different intrinsic properties in order to classify them into object classes.
- Assignment matrices are then used to map resources to object classes.
- an assignment method is implemented to automatically determine a resource. From the solicitation of the device specifying the type of action to be performed and the identifier of the object, the device queries the database concerned to obtain intrinsic information relating to the object. The intrinsic information passes through a data filter to determine a membership class. From the membership class, an assignment matrix links to one or more resources.
- the invention is a method for allocating resources in a dynamic process having actions to be performed relative to physical objects using at least one database, at least one data filter and at least one assignment matrix.
- the database includes a plurality of computer objects corresponding to the physical objects, each computer object having a plurality of features intrinsic to the corresponding physical object.
- the filter of data sets membership rules for membership classes based on intrinsic characteristics.
- the assignment matrix maps one or more resources to a membership class.
- a request to obtain the determination of a request is received by the processing device.
- the query contains a type of action to perform.
- the assignment matrix comprises for each membership class a list of at least two resources corresponding to at least two types of action to be performed, each type of action being associated with a resource of said list.
- the type of action to be performed being indicated by the process, step c / determines the resource to be used depending on the type of action to be performed.
- the databases no longer need to contain the resource information that is contained in the assignment matrices.
- resources are much smaller than computer objects, this significantly reduces the size needed to store information.
- a fine decomposition of the tasks of a process makes it possible to use data filters and assignment matrices of small sizes. In case of reorganization, the bases are no longer modified. All you have to do is modify the assignment matrices and possibly the filters, which considerably reduces the update operations.
- the invention may be embodied in the form of a computer program comprising portions of code executable by a computer for implementing the method.
- the invention also covers the computer readable data storage medium which includes the program as well as the on-line provisioning of said computer program.
- the invention is a process implementing tasks relating to physical objects. For a task to be performed on a physical object, the process determines a type of action to be performed and then performs the resource assignment method to determine the resource to be used to perform the task.
- the invention is a system for processing at least one task of a process, which comprises: at least one database of computer objects, each computer object including an identifier and a plurality of characteristics intrinsic to the physical object; at least one data filter establishing rules of belonging to membership classes based on intrinsic characteristics; at least one assignment matrix that maps one or more resources to a membership class; processing means for querying the database to obtain intrinsic characteristics, for subjecting the intrinsic characteristics to the membership rules of the data filter to determine the class of membership of the object, and for determining the resource to use using the membership class and the assignment matrix.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the course of an industrial process
- FIG. a resource allocation system according to FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary data processing implemented using the method according to the invention
- FIG. 4 illustrates a flowchart of the method according to the invention
- the processes can be very complex, and many models can represent them.
- the invention being independent of the number and complexity of the processes implemented, reference is made to a model and simplified examples to facilitate the understanding of this document.
- the invention can however apply to all processes and it is all the more advantageous that the implementation of the process is complex.
- Figure 1 shows a simple decomposition of an industrial process into three tasks Ti, T 2 and T3.
- the process can be more complex and can perform tasks in parallel, as shown in dashed with task T 2 .
- a processing system 100 interacts with the tasks Ti to T 3 in order to ensure the smooth running of the process. It is at the level of the processing system 100 that the databases for the allocation of resources are located.
- the processing system 100 is a computer system consisting of one or more computers for storing the data of the company and processing the data.
- An example of a processing system 100 is shown in FIG. 2.
- the processing system 100 comprises databases 110, data filters 120, assignment matrices 130 and processing means 140.
- the databases 10, the data filters 120 and the assignment matrices 130 are stored on one or more hard disks belonging to one or more computers and are not necessarily stored at the same location. Preferentially, the databases 110 are centralized for the entire company when all the operational resources of the company are likely to access them.
- the processing means 140 consist of one or more computers having programs for accessing the data and processing on the databases 110, the data filters 120 and the assignment matrices 140.
- the task Ti is the taking of an order of a product manufactured on demand and including its installation at the customer.
- Task T 2 is a task of manufacturing the product ordered.
- Task T 3 is the delivery and installation task.
- the task Ti consists of collecting the initialization data of the process, these initialization data correspond to a purchase order identifying the customer and the products and services ordered. The purchase order is then sent to the next resource for the rest of the process.
- the operational resource in charge of the order-taking task T 1 is contacted directly by the client and there is no need to determine it.
- This operational resource is for example a vendor capable of exchanging data with the processing system 100.
- the vendor may also be a computer server connected to the Internet on the one hand and to the processing system 100 on the other hand.
- the seller to develop the purchase order, needs to identify the customer and identify the products and services ordered. During this task, the seller interacts between the client and the processing system 100.
- the seller asks for his name and checks whether the customer is already registered as a customer in a database 110 corresponding to a database whose objects correspond to customers. If it is a new customer, the seller requests information specific to the customer, such as for example: his name, his address, possibly a delivery and billing address, the method of payment used, possibly a delay payment, and possibly other non-essential optional information for the current order. The customer-specific information is then updated in the database. The seller re-interrogates the databases 110 to obtain the product catalog (database where the objects correspond products) and the service catalog (database where the objects correspond to services) in order to allow the customer to make your choice. Querying catalogs provides all the features of the products and services that allow the customer to choose the product that best fits their needs.
- the customer having chosen a product accompanied by an installation service the seller can establish his purchase order and send it to the next resource to perform the T 2 manufacturing task.
- the operational resource in charge of the task T 2 is a manufacturing unit.
- the vendor implements the automated method described jointly with the aid of FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the seller provides a product identifier 300 to the processing system 100 to obtain the manufacturing unit capable of producing the product.
- the processing means 140 query the databases 110
- the database consists, for example, of a table comprising a column of identifiers 302 and a plurality of characteristic columns.
- the intrinsic characteristics 301 are then subjected to a filter 121 (step 402) to determine a membership class 304.
- the filter 121 is one of the filters 120 assigned to the products of the database 111 to determine the resource concerned to perform. different types of tasks on the product that are, for example, its production, repair or even recycling.
- Each filter 121 includes a list of conditions 305 and a list of classes 306.
- the condition list 305 defines a plurality of sets of conditions based on the characteristics of the products. Each set of conditions is associated with a class of membership of the class list 306.
- the processing means 140 performs the verification of the series of conditions and provides the class of membership associated with a series when the conditions are verified using the extracted characteristics 301.
- the processing means 140 determine the resource concerned (step 403) using the membership class 304 and a membership matrix 131.
- the membership matrix 131 is one of the matrices 130 associated with the filter 121
- the matrix 131 comprises a list of classes 307 identical to the class list of the filter 121. For each membership class, the matrix 131 corresponds to a series of resources 308 corresponding to different tasks or types of action to be performed on a given class. product belonging to the membership class 304.
- the determination of the resource to be used is done by retrieving the series of resources 308 associated with the membership class and by selecting from these resources that which corresponds to the task or type of resource action to perform.
- the computer catalog constitutes a database whose objects correspond to computers.
- the computers in the catalog are, for example, grouped into computer models each having a number of internal components that can be optionally changed as well as additional options.
- the features of each computer in the catalog reflect one of several possible configurations of options.
- This computer catalog includes a list of combinations that the manufacturer proposes to market taking into account the compatibility between the options and the commercial interest of each combination proposed.
- Such a catalog may include several thousand products while the manufacturer has only a few production units, for example five.
- the integration of the indication of the production unit in the product database is not very flexible if one wishes to modify the distribution of production between the production units, which occurs regularly according to the production unit. the importance of orders for certain products and component stocks of different production units.
- the number of membership classes is greater than the number of production units in order to allow more flexibility in the organization of production.
- classes of membership can be used.
- the membership conditions are determined based on the characteristics present in the product catalog and can take into account only a small number of characteristics defining the product.
- classes are defined in order to group a number of products of the same order of magnitude.
- the product catalog containing for example 1500 products, the fifty classes each group for example between 15 and 50 products.
- Matrix 131 is set to match each membership class with a single resource for a task to be performed.
- the same resource can be used for multiple tasks.
- the different tasks directly related to a product being its manufacture, repair and recycling.
- a production unit mainly produces a product, but it can also perform repair or dismantling in order to recycle the various components of a product if the company does not have an independent unit more specialized.
- the filling of the matrix should ideally take into account the states of the different production units as well as the probabilities of selection of the membership classes.
- the state of inventories of parts used to manufacture a computer constantly fluctuates according to the products manufactured and deliveries.
- the probability of selecting a class of membership may depend on the wishes of customers, who evolve by periods. Whatever the distribution of the resources in the matrix 131, this distribution will have to change in more or less long term to respond to parameters that evolve over time.
- a great advantage of the invention is that only the matrix 131 can be modified in most cases. Indeed, the number of classes Since membership is greater than the number of production units, it is possible to very simply modify the distribution of resources in relation to the membership classes at any time. Matrix changes can be made based on the status of the component inventory in the manufacturing units and the queue of each unit. It is thus possible to act on the matrix to dynamically distribute the production.
- filter 121 should be modified by increasing the number of membership classes or redefining the series of conditions. Such an operation is a little heavier to achieve than a simple distribution in the matrix. But it intervenes infrequently.
- Adding a new product to the catalog can be compatible with filters.
- a new product has a combination of features that may already be classifiable in one of the membership classes. However, it is possible for a new product to have a feature excluding it from all membership classes.
- test 404 consists in verifying if a class of membership has been associated with the characteristics of the product by the filter 121. If no class is found, then a processing error is detected (step 405). The processing error can then be reported for correction. The determination of the resource to be performed is then done manually. The correction of such an error consists in modifying the membership classes.
- a second possibility, offering more flexibility in reactivity, consists in defining a normally empty membership class whose condition is that none of the other conditions of the filter is verified. It is then possible to assign a resource, for example able to process all new products. If this class is too often solicited, the other conditions of the filter must be modified. Moreover, in order to be able to cover all the scenarios, it is necessary to provide for a possibility of exceptional treatment. By exceptional treatment, it is necessary to understand a possible treatment only in rare cases. The the exceptional nature of the treatment may result from different reasons. It is for example possible not to have intrinsic and generic properties compatible with the definition of the computer objects of the database.
- test 406 After the step 401 for extracting the characteristics of the product from the database 111, and before the step 402 of submitting these extracted characteristics 301 to the filter 121, it is necessary to check whether it is a product requiring exceptional treatment (test 406).
- the exceptional nature of the product can be detected either by the product identifier and a table listing the identifiers of exceptional products, or by performing a test on the intrinsic characteristics in order to detect an exceptional characteristic.
- exceptional treatment is implemented (step 407).
- the resource to be assigned is known and can correspond to a resource able to process non-exceptional products possibly in another context. If the exceptional character comes from an option preventing the use of automatic machines set up on production lines, the assembly can still be done but for example by a team that normally provides the repair of products and is less automated .
- an automatic allocation process is launched concerning only the exceptional products.
- the automatic resource allocation can be done using a more conventional technique using a database for only exceptional products that corresponds to a copy of the product database in which the resources are indicated. he It is also possible to use a method of assignment similar to that used for non-exceptional objects. Since exceptional objects are rare by definition, the additional data needed for exceptional processing are limited in number.
- the manufacturing unit having been assigned during the task Ti the task T2 can be performed. As indicated above, the task T 2 can itself be decomposed into subtasks.
- the production task T 2 of a computer can be broken down into several sub-tasks, one or more assembly subassemblies of the interface cards on a motherboard, a configuration subtask from the operating system to a hard drive depending on the chosen hardware options, one or more assembly subtasks in the motherboard case and peripherals integrating into the case, packaging, and others.
- the product catalog database is the same.
- the filter (s) used may be the same or be defined in a different way because it is no longer a question of distributing a production load between production units but of distributing machines and assembly teams to perform specific tasks in function of the characteristics of the products.
- the assignment matrix or matrices may comprise, for each membership class, one or more series of resources in a number different from that of the matrix 131. In fact, since the number of sub-tasks is greater, it should be possible to assign a number of sub-tasks. resource for each subtask. It is possible to have matrices that group the resources assigned to sub-tasks performed in parallel, such as, for example, the assembly of the cards on the motherboard performed by an assembly robot and the configuration of the system. exploited by a robot software.
- the combination of the invention with robots is particularly interesting.
- the order form, in electronic format, makes it possible to automatically choose the robots and can furthermore make it possible to recover robot-specific commands stored in the matrix.
- a card assembly robot can be configured for one or more types of motherboard and can for example insert a card in the motherboard among a choice of cards present in the stores of said robot. Two different products can thus be processed by the same robot for the assembly of a card and by two different robots for the assembly of a next card.
- the matrix may indicate the robot to be used but also, to the robot, the type of motherboard, the location selected on the motherboard and the robot store corresponding to the card to be assembled.
- Robot software that configures the operating system of the computer being manufactured may be affected depending on the type of operating system chosen by the client.
- the configuration of the configuration is done for example using a part of the product parameters describing the hardware configuration of the computer.
- Task T 2 ends when all manufacturing sub-tasks are performed. At the end of task T 2 , it should be determined which resource will deliver and install the product at the customer. Delivery depends on the delivery address specified in the customer database. The installation may depend on the product. The assignment of a team shows a possible variant of the implementation of the invention with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the determination of the resource in charge of the task T 3 is done by performing a database interrogation step 401 to obtain the necessary characteristics.
- a product identifier 300 and a customer identifier 500 are provided to the processing system.
- the processing means 140 interrogate, on the one hand, the database 111 of the products and, on the other hand, the database 112 of the clients, the two databases being part of the databases 110. not all of the product and customer characteristics that are used but only a significant part for the determination of the resource in charge of the task T 3 .
- For the product only characteristics defining the competence of the resources are needed, for example the type of operating system, the type of Internet connection, any external devices to connect to the computer.
- the delivery address may be sufficient to determine the "delivery team" resource to be solicited.
- the characteristics 501 and 502 from the databases 111 and 112 are then grouped together to form a feature group 503.
- the processing means 140 verify during the test 406, that there is no exception processing to be implemented on both the product and the client before proceeding to the filtering step 402. characteristics 503 are subjected to a filter 122 to determine a membership class 504.
- the filter 122 is one of the filters 120 assigned to the products of the database 111 and the clients of the database 112 to determine the resource concerned. to perform a delivery task possibly including an installation.
- the processing means 140 performs the verification of the series of conditions of the filter 122 and determines the membership class 504 associated with the series which verifies the conditions on the characteristics 503.
- the processing means 140 determine the resource by providing a membership matrix 132, on the one hand, the membership class 504 and, on the other hand, the type of action 505 to be performed.
- the membership matrix 132 is one of the matrices 130 associated with the filter 122.
- the matrix 132 differs from the matrix 131 in that it has a direct selection of type of action on a series of resources corresponding to a task of delivery / installation to be performed on a product / customer pair belonging to the membership class 504.
- the type of action to be performed is for example a simple delivery, a delivery with Internet connection on the cable, a delivery with Internet connection by an xDSL type connection, or other installation possibility.
- the determination of the resource 506 to be used is performed by taking a resource associated with the membership class 504 and the action type 505.
- the number of products is of the order a few thousand. As far as the customers are concerned, their number may be even greater, of the order of a hundred thousand.
- the number of product / customer pairs is all the more important. Depending on the type of installation, it may be different teams that have the necessary technical skills. In addition, the team will have to be chosen according to the location of the place of delivery.
- the number of membership classes is chosen to allow both a breakdown of technical competence and a geographical division sufficiently fine to have some flexibility of reorganization. The fineness of the geographical division is for example determined according to the number of teams available with a multiplying factor, for example equal to ten.
- the invention can be used to carry out maintenance operations on the network of a telephone operator.
- a telecommunication network in a country such as France has several hundred thousand network nodes.
- Each network node can correspond to a computer object of a database.
- the characteristics of the network node include a description of the hardware constituting the network node, the location of the node, its hierarchical level in the network topology, the types of connections made by the node, and possibly other information specific to the node.
- the maintenance teams for example 100, are spread over the territory and have skills that allow them to act on certain materials and not others. They can be of different sizes and have different working hours. Maintenance teams can be responsible for various tasks, such as, for example, periodic simple maintenance, non-critical troubleshooting (non-blocking failure), emergency troubleshooting possible over three time slots.
- periodic simple maintenance non-critical troubleshooting (non-blocking failure)
- emergency troubleshooting possible over three time slots.
- the resource pointers are centralized in the assignment matrices 130 via the data filters 120.
- the number of pointers is greatly reduced. For example, if for an object type five resources can be assigned and the database has 100,000 objects then 500,000 resource pointers are needed. This number of resource pointers is greatly reduced by the invention.
- the number of resource pointers is reduced to 10,000 to which must be added the 2000 membership class pointers.
- the total number of pointers is thus reduced to 12,000.
- Such a reduction has the advantage of reducing the processing of pointers to be performed and therefore of requiring less powerful computers in terms of the number of operations to be performed.
- Another advantage of less importance is the reduction of the stored information representative of the pointers.
- the client file of a telephony operator reaches 30 million customers.
- services or interventions can be performed by different resources of the operator at the request of the customer.
- the gain on such a database is even greater in terms of organization.
- the benefits of reducing the number of pointers are even greater.
- One or more databases can be queried for a single resource assignment in function of the cases to be treated.
- One or more filters can be defined for a database. At least one filter assignment matrix is used.
