On the condition selection screen 60, the categories are category 1, category 2, category 3, category 4
Can be selected, and the number of data for each selected digit can be searched for the selected office and data. For example, in the category 2, the number of data items for each selected two places can be searched for the selected office and data, and the data is downloaded to the search result screen 65 in the CSV format. As described above, when searching for parts having the same or the same function, standard parts and prices are displayed so that the standard parts can be easily determined, and inexpensive parts can be selected.

As described above, parts of the same specification having different manufacturer model numbers can be searched, and specifications of families and compatible parts can also be searched. Therefore, a wide range of parts can be searched. A wide range of parts can be searched and purchase prices can be compared, so that appropriate and inexpensive parts can be selected.

At this time, the chemical substance content confirmation screen 6 for each product
When the user selects 5 and inputs the product code, the computer automatically totals the data based on the data registered in the file 11 for parts certification and displays the result on the screen. The designer looks at this result and changes the selection of parts as necessary. Accordingly, the content of the harmful chemical substance can be grasped in advance, so that the use of harmful parts can be avoided.

According to the above procedure, the designer of the office or factory in the company selects parts. If the selected part is a certified part having a past performance and a performance of another department, the process shifts to an order to be described later. If the selected part is not a certified part or is a certified part, but is to be used in a special way that has not been used before, the person in charge of the parts design belonging to the procurement business consolidation center 1 performs a primary selection. Predetermine whether it is a certified part, test whether it has the performance of catalog value, and whether it is applicable for special use. This parts certification is for the Procurement Operations Consolidation Center 1
Can input a request to the quality assurance department of the business unit by inputting a terminal, or a person in charge of a business office or factory in a company can request the quality assurance department of the business office through terminal input. or,
The manufacturer is also certified, but the certification of the manufacturer is determined in consideration of the status of trust, business condition, management ability, delivery date, market trends, and the like. The certification of a maker includes visiting the maker and directly confirming the status of trust, business status, management ability, delivery date, and the like.

As a result, quality assurance can be performed in consideration of not only the performance of the component but also the ability of the manufacturer, so that a reliable and highly reliable component can be procured.

The flow of such component and manufacturer certification will be described with reference to FIG. In the part preparation preparation stage 100, a determination 101 as to whether or not to certify a purchased product is made. If the certification is not approved, the certification has been approved and the order is transferred. If certification is required, a determination 102 is made as to whether the purchased product has been certified for parts. If it is a certified part, it is determined whether it has been certified by the manufacturer or not.

Judgment 102 as to whether or not the purchased product has been certified as a part
If it is determined that the part is not a certified part, it is determined whether or not the part has been certified by the manufacturer. If the part has been certified by the manufacturer, issue of a purchase product certification inspection instruction specification 113 is performed and purchase product certification 114 is performed. In this purchased product certification 114, it is tested whether the product has the performance as shown in the catalog value, whether it can withstand special use, and the like. If the pass / fail decision 115 indicates that the purchase has passed, the purchase certification No. setting 116 is performed, and the process proceeds to ordering. If it is determined to be unsuccessful, the necessity of re-authorization is determined in the necessity of re-authorization of purchased product 117. If not, it is removed from the certified part and registered as a non-certified part. If it is determined in the determination 112 whether or not the manufacturer has been certified, a manufacturer certification request form issuance 118, a purchase product certification inspection instruction specification issue 113 is performed, and a manufacturer certification 119 is performed. Manufacturer certification pass / fail 120
If it is determined to pass, the manufacturer certification No. setting 121
, And the process proceeds to the purchased product certification 114. If it is determined to be unsuccessful, the necessity determination is made in the maker recertification necessity determination 122, and if it is determined to be necessary, the maker certification request issuance
Return to If determined to be no, it will be removed from the certified parts,
Registered as a non-certified part. Here, if it is a non-certified part, if it is determined that the part can be recognized as a certified part based on the track record of use, additional certification is performed.

In this way, the parts are certified and the manufacturer is selected, and the details of the certified part and the selected manufacturer are registered together with the image data such as the examination report.

As described above, since the issuance of the specification for purchase product certification inspection instructions and the issuance of a manufacturer certification request are performed by inputting at the terminal, the information can be managed as shared information, and the issuance status of other departments can be referred to. Requests can be prevented, and past request contents can be referred to, so that work efficiency is improved. Further, by referring to the image data as required, the details of the specification can be grasped, and accurate component selection can be performed.

Office 6a, factory 6b, office 6
The type and number of parts ordered by terminal input at each stage of production planning, circuit design, parts design, manufacturing / materials, and quality assurance from the affiliated company 8a or another company 8b are determined by the procurement business consolidation center via the network. 1 is sent. The procurement operation consolidation center 1 performs centralized purchasing by consolidating the number of transmitted orders. Here, the centralized purchasing means that the procurement business consolidation center 1 collectively represents a business establishment, a factory, an office, an affiliated company, and another company in a purchasing policy, sets a basic contract clause with a business partner, and purchases practically. Say that you are in charge of work. In the process of performing the centralized purchase, price negotiations are performed, unit prices of parts are determined, and contracts are made. That is, the procurement operation centralization center 1 negotiates a price with a supplier or a part maker 3, or makes a public offering for parts at a target price on the Internet to determine a price. In addition, the price can be determined by auction. In addition, a futures purchase of parts may be arranged under a predetermined condition on a predetermined day in the future. The procurement operation consolidation center 1 advises on a method of a purchase contract or performs a contract conclusion operation. The unit price of the part and the contract content are linked to the certified part and registered in the part certification file 1 or the specification database 13.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the relationship between specification-related database tables. The material classification code 130 includes a classification code and a classification name. The component classification code 131 has a component classification dictionary and defines a hierarchical relationship of component classification. The component classification attribute 132 defines the relationship between the component classification and the characteristic, and in the case of a certain component classification, defines what the attribute has. The property code 133 is
It has a property dictionary and defines the types and units of component attributes. The maker model number master 134 has a correspondence table between drawing numbers and maker model numbers, and also has an order ratio table for a plurality of purchases. The component specification basic 135 stores basic information for each manufacturer model number, that is, component standard classification, rating / material, standard delivery date, standard price, product supply status, production discontinuation category, registration date, update date, and the like. The component specification details 136 store attribute values for each manufacturer model number as integer data, real number data, character data, and true / false data. The part unit price 137 has unit price, application start date, and application end date data. The part before unit price application 138 includes unit price, application start date, and application end date data as past history.

A more detailed component classification code can be retrieved from the component classification code 131, and a component classification attribute 133 can be retrieved from the component classification code 131. Material classification code 13
0, the component basic specification 135 can be retrieved from the component classification code 131. Further, a manufacturer model number can be acquired from the drawing number by the manufacturer model number master 134 and the component specification basic 135 can be searched. From the part specification basic 135, the part specification details 136, the part unit price 137, and the part unit price before application 138 can be searched.
Also, by specifying a value from the component classification code 131 and the property code 133, the component specification basic 135 and the component specification details can be searched. As described above, the specification information of the component can be retrieved from any of the material type code 130, the component classification code 131, and the drawing number, and the substitute component can be retrieved from those having the same main attribute. This saves the trouble of searching for a manufacturer model number corresponding to the component attribute, and improves work efficiency. Also, when searching for component specifications, a search can be performed according to each department such as materials and design, so that a search suitable for the purpose of use of each department can be performed.

FIGS. 8 and 9 are diagrams showing the flow of the parts procurement place processing. In the procurement operation consolidation center 1, information on new parts provided from a parts information provider, a supplier or a parts maker is fetched from time to time and stored in a database.
Authorization information and recommendation information may be added to this data. At each office, affiliated company or outside company,
At any stage of production planning, circuit design, parts design, manufacturing / materials, quality assurance, and specification request from customers, parts search is performed as described above. The information is updated, and the search range and category are narrowed down and information of the parts information provider companies, suppliers or parts manufacturers in Japan and overseas is taken in, so that appropriate and latest information can be searched. If the part is not a certified part, it can be requested to be certified by the procurement service centralization center 1 by inputting it to the terminal as described above. In the procurement operation consolidation center 1, in addition to the above-mentioned person performing the certification work, the person in charge may request a certificate of quality for the establishment.

With respect to the parts determined as described above, the parts information, the planned use amount of the parts, etc. are input to the terminals from the respective departments, and transmitted to the procurement operation consolidation center 1. At this time, there is also a case where the drawing data is attached and transmitted. The procurement operation consolidation center 1 uses a computer to consolidate the parts information and the planned parts use quantities sent from the respective departments, and makes them the planned purchase quantities, and negotiates the planned purchase price with the supplier or the parts maker. that time,
A quotation request is transmitted to the supplier or the part maker as necessary, and the quotation response is received and registered as price information, delivery date information, and the like. The procurement operation consolidation center 1 may add a fee to the estimate response and present the purchase price to the corresponding department. The supplier or the part maker can preliminarily frame the material by receiving the presentation of the planned purchase amount.

When the production plan is determined, each of the offices, affiliated companies or external companies in the company automatically or by using the terminals of the respective departments, formal order information of parts and quantities is sent to the procurement business consolidation center 1. The order is transmitted and received by the computer of the procurement operation consolidation center 1 and counted. Based on the aggregated data, the data is transmitted to the supplier or the part maker 3 as forecast, order information or delivery instruction by referring to the inventory database.

The drawing data is linked to the component information as required, and transmitted to the supplier or the component maker 3.
Alternatively, a part assembling maker may be designated, and the parts may be delivered via the designated part assembling maker when the parts are delivered. As a result, the supplier or the part maker 3 can obtain the drawing linked to the part information at the time of receiving the order, reduce errors in arrangement and the like, and improve work efficiency.

The supplier or the part maker 3 receiving the order
Is delivered to the ordered department, delivered via a parts assembly maker, or delivered and delivered to the ordered department via the logistics center 10 which is a division of the procurement business consolidation center 1. .

The logistics center 10 has the configuration shown in FIG. Delivered goods from the supplier or the parts maker 3 via the procurement operation consolidation center 1 are transported to the logistics center 10. Supplier or part maker 3
Separates the packaging for each delivery unit, attaches the delivery note, and transports the package to the logistics center 10. The logistics center 10 receiving the transported parts performs acceptance inspection.
In this acceptance inspection, verification of the transportation slip or delivery document and the actual item,
The figure number and quantity are checked, and the result is input as delivery management data at the terminal. The delivery management data is transmitted to the computer of the procurement operation consolidation center 1 via the intranet.

The parts for which acceptance and acceptance have been completed are classified into those managed as inventory and those relayed to the office. Parts managed as inventory are subjected to a stocking process, and are sorted and stored for each customer and each business establishment. The relay product is subjected to a relay receiving process, a delivery note and a transport slip are created, and the relay receiving registration is performed at the terminal. The relay products are classified into those to be transported on the same day or the next day, and those to be temporarily stored for several days or weeks. As described later, when the exit instruction registration from the procurement operation consolidation center 1 is received, an exit work instruction is issued, and the inventory is packed according to the instruction and attached with a transportation slip or delivery note. It is delivered. Here, when the kit instruction registration is received, a kit work instruction is issued, and the delivery unit is summarized according to the kit work instruction, for example, the production number of the inspected product, the untested product, and the line according to the kit operation instruction. In the delivery inspection, the delivery note is compared with the delivery item, and if the delivery item is insufficient, a missing item list is attached. The delivery inspection result is input from the terminal and registered as delivery result data and inventory report data. After that, it is loaded on a delivery vehicle and transported to the relevant office.

In this way, by aggregating the planned purchase quantities and putting together the quantities, the price bargaining power with the supplier or the parts maker is improved, and the purchase unit price can be reduced. In addition, since parts are purchased in a lump, a price difference between departments can be eliminated, and it is possible to prevent purchasing parts more than necessary. It is not necessary for the supplier or the part maker to deal with the individual order status, and the forecasted consumption is presented in the forecast, so that the production plan can be easily drafted. Also, by collecting the purchase requests and orders from the respective departments by electronic information in the procurement operation consolidation center 1, order data is transmitted to the supply or each part maker in a unified form. Therefore, the business process of the supplier or each component maker is simplified.

The computer of the procurement operation consolidation center 1 refers to the order backlog database 17 and manages the delivery date from the order backlog and the order backlog. The delivery date management information is transmitted to the supplier of the component whose delivery date is approaching, and a response from the supplier is received. Also, it receives delivery date change information from the ordering department and updates delivery date data. When the computer of the procurement operation consolidation center 1 refers to the inventory database and the delivery date data and determines that the parts to the requested department need to be transported, the logistics center 10 sends the parts information including the quantity and the delivery instruction including the delivery destination. Or send it to the supplier or parts maker. The logistics center 10 receiving these information
Alternatively, the supplier or the part maker delivers the part with the specified contents to the corresponding department.

As described above, since the delivery date management is performed by using the procurement business consolidation center 1 that manages inventory that is ordered in a lump and is managed precisely, it is possible to solve the problem of the delivery delay.

The procurement business consolidation center 1 or the logistics center 10 performs inventory simulation of the logistics center 10 with reference to the farcast information, the unordered data, the unordered data, and the due date data. By this inventory simulation, the management of the order quantity and the estimation of the surplus inventory quantity are performed. If the excess stock is predicted to be excessive, or if there is actually excess stock, the surplus components can also be sold on the Internet market.

When the parts delivery is completed, the ordering department inputs the result of the acceptance into the terminal and transmits it to the procurement operation consolidation center 1. Upon receiving the inspection result, the procurement service consolidation center 1 checks the inspection result and transmits the inspection result to the supplier or the part maker 3 of the ordering party. Once the inspection is completed,
The supplier or the part maker 3 inputs the contents of the charge request to the terminal and transmits it to the procurement operation consolidation center 1 as a bill. Based on the bill, the procurement operation consolidation center 1 pays the price to the supplier or the parts maker and requests the relevant ordering department to transfer the cost. Thereafter, the ordering department is followed up for payment collection and performs payment management.

The procurement service consolidation center 1 sends a collection agency request to the financial institution 90. The financial institution 90 requested is
The payment is collected by a procedure from the ordering department or its business office, and a payment procedure of the collected price is performed to the procurement business consolidation center 1 with a service charge added.

In the procurement service consolidation center 1, the following offset request processing with a supplier or a part maker may be performed. In this case, the business establishment inputs the unpaid money generation data to the terminal and transmits it to the procurement operation consolidation center 1. In the case of the sales department, the sales offset request data is input to the terminal and transmitted to the procurement business consolidation center 1. The offset request data items are supplier code, supplier name, office code (for other companies, the code of the company), receipt / payment information category, offset category, offset request amount for this month, consumption tax amount, summary, statistical date, etc. Consists of On the basis of the request data received by the procurement operation consolidation center 1 by the date set in advance for each month, for example, the end of each month, the purchase accounting data is transmitted. Provided material offset, business offset, and other offsets are performed.

As described above, the computer of the procurement operation consolidation center 1 stores the purchase price, quantity, delivery date information, payment information, etc. of the ordered parts as actual data for each ordering department. These accumulated result data can be referred to as shared information. By access from the ordering department or transmission from the procurement business consolidation center 1,
