For analysis, it may be important to determine whether the system meets the standards appropriate for the system, such as ISO, GLP, Guide 25, etc., and whether it is possible to perform tests in accordance with these standards. In some cases, it is necessary to request a registrant that conforms to the above. By including such reliability assurance data of each registrant in the database, it is possible to easily request a registrant that conforms to official standards. . In addition, by including the analysis capability of each registrant, that is, the analysis accuracy data of each unit work, it becomes possible to more fully satisfy the orderer's wishes. In order to obtain the analysis accuracy data, a database is constructed based on the results, or a company that can perform the corresponding unit work is requested to analyze a certain sample in advance, and each registered company is determined from the accuracy or error of the result. It is also possible to construct a database by evaluating the analysis accuracy of the data. In addition, by including location data including the branch offices of each registrant, it is easy to respond to the need for sampling work in remote locations, and by including data on the time required for unit work, delivery time can be reduced. It becomes easy to grasp.

[0007] As described above, by including the work fee data, the reliability assurance data, the analysis accuracy data, the location data, the data of the period required for the unit work, etc. in the database in the database, the registrant performing the work can be easily arranged. This makes it possible to make a better selection and meet the orderer's wishes. That is, an analysis order system is provided with a function of allocating an analysis order to one or a plurality of work units and assigning the order to a registrar registered in a database for each work unit, thereby constructing a more excellent analysis order system. be able to. Further, the registered companies can be rated based on information such as the analysis accuracy data of each registered company based on a certain standard and provided to the orderer as information.

In the order receiving system of the present invention, the orderer can send the sample separately and request only the analysis work. However, if the sampling work is necessary, the place and condition of the sampling are presented, and if necessary, the ISO is required. In addition to various conditions such as correspondence to GLP, budget, delivery date, etc.,
If necessary, priorities, such as low-priority priority, early delivery date priority, etc., are presented. Next, for example, after selecting a registered company that meets the conditions on the host computer and obtaining an estimate, it is possible to select an optimal company or a plurality of companies to request the work according to the priority. Further, the host computer may be provided with a means for selecting a request destination by publishing the request from the orderer and conducting a reverse auction by the registered companies.

[0009] The order receiving system of the present invention can be provided with electronic payment means for a fee, if necessary. Also, in the case of special work without work charge data or when requesting a cheaper request without using work charge data, etc., the request from the ordering party is made public and the registered You can also choose.

[0010] In the order receiving system of the present invention, the host computer has work type data that can be undertaken for each registered company as a database. Work can be presented. In order to facilitate the work at a plurality of companies, it is preferable to provide means for making arrangements for transporting samples and the like between companies, adjusting work time, and the like.
