[0060] Next, a method for calculating the production digestibility in department analysis server 11 with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the process of calculating the production digestibility by the sales floor analysis server 11.

First, the sales floor analysis server 11 reads the actual production quantity A of the commodity given from the scale controller 14 (step S41). Further, the actual sales number B of the product given by the POS controller 1 is read (step S42). Next, the sales floor analysis server 11 calculates the production digestibility C by using the actual production quantity A and the actual sales quantity B as in the following equation (step S43).

[0062] The production digestibility C = sales number B / production record number A × 100 ··· (1), and the actual production number A, of the goods that are actually produced from the opening time of the day up to the present time The sales result number B refers to the number of products actually sold from the start of the day to the present.

For example, it is assumed that the product is not sold very much and the actual production quantity A is 40 and the actual production quantity B is 13. In this case, according to the above equation (1), the production digestibility C is 32.5%. Further, it is assumed that the merchandise is selling well, and the actual number of productions A is 60 and the actual number of sales B is 58. In this case, according to the above equation (1), the production digestibility C is 96.7%.

As described above, the production completion rate C is an index indicating the ratio of the actual sales quantity B to the actual production quantity A,
The higher the numerical value, the better the product is sold, which means that it is necessary to give a product production instruction.

Subsequently, the sales floor analysis server 11 uses the pre-production stock quantity D, which is the stock quantity of the product at the start of the operation, and the actual production quantity A and the actual sales quantity B of the product, as shown in the following equation. calculates the number E (step S4
4).

The number of currently displayed products E = the actual number of products A + the number of stocks before production D−the number of actual sales B B (2) Here, the number of currently displayed products E is the number of products currently displayed on the display shelf. Is shown.

Next, the sales floor analysis server 11 reads the previous time zone sales actual number as the time zone sales forecast number F for each product (step S45), and converts the current display product number E and the time zone sales prediction number F into the present number. Based on the following equation, a time-to-sale forecast comparison G of the production digestibility is calculated based on the following equation (step S4).
6).

Time Zone Sales Forecasting Comparison G = Current Number of Displayed Products E / Time Zone Sales Forecast Number F × 100 (3) Here, the time zone sales forecast number F will be sold in the future time zone. It means the number of products that are expected to be.
The time zone sales forecast versus G production digestibility is an indicator of the percentage of time zone sales forecast quantity F for the current display items E.

For example, if the product is not sold very much and the actual production quantity A is 10, the pre-production stock quantity D is 10, and the actual production quantity B is 3, the currently displayed commodity is calculated using the above equation (2). The number E becomes 17 pieces. Next, in the case where the number of predicted time-sale sales F is 5, using the above equation (3) and the number of currently displayed products E, the time-to-sale forecast comparison G of the production completion rate is 113%.

On the other hand, if the product is selling well and the actual production quantity A is 40, the pre-production stock quantity D is 10, and the actual production quantity B is 42, the number of currently displayed commodities is calculated using the above equation (2). E is eight. Next, when the predicted number F of time zone sales is 25, the time zone sales prediction comparison G is 32% using the above equation (3) and the number E of currently displayed products.

As described above, when the numerical value of the time period sales comparison G of the production digestion rate is low, the priority of giving the production instruction is high, and when the numerical value of the time period sales comparison G is high, the priority of giving the production instruction is high. The degree becomes lower.

Next, a process of giving a production work instruction based on the production completion rate in the sales floor analysis server 11 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the process of the instruction of the production operation using the production digestion rate by the sales floor analysis server 11.

First, the sales floor analysis server 11 reads the calculated production digestion rate C (step S51), and further reads the calculated production digestion rate comparison G in the time zone sales (step S52).

Then, the sales floor analysis server 11 determines whether the product is sold well by comparing the production digestibility C with a predetermined value set in advance (step S5).
3). If the product is selling well and the production digestibility C is higher than a predetermined value, the sales floor analysis server 11 may have already transmitted the production instruction from the portable information terminal 5 through the portable access point 4 or may have sent the ESL 6 to the ESL controller 8 It is determined whether or not a production instruction has been transmitted via the PC (step S54), and if so, the information is read (step S55).

This is performed when the worker checks the products displayed on the display shelf of the sales floor and gives a production instruction using the portable information terminal 5, or the switch 603 provided in the ESL 6 shown in FIG. When the production instruction is issued by using, the sales floor analysis server 11 outputs the production instruction in consideration of the number of products already instructed.

Then, in accordance with the production instruction and the production digestibility C from the portable information terminal 5 or the ESL 6, it is determined whether or not the production instruction should be issued again (step S56).

If the production instruction has not been transmitted in step S54 or if it is determined in step S56 that the production instruction should be issued again, the sales floor analysis server 11 sends the production completion rate C and the portable information terminal 5 or ESL6. Based on the production instruction of (1), the production instruction is transmitted to the automatic weighing / packaging / pricing device 16 and the weighing / pricing device 18 (step S57). As a result, the production instructions are displayed on the display units 15 and 17 of the automatic weighing / packaging valuation device 16 and the weighing / valuation device 18.
Will be displayed.

On the other hand, in step S53, when the sales of the product are not so good and the production digestion rate C is lower than the predetermined value, the production digestion rate C and the time-zone sales prediction comparison G of the production digestion rate are compared with the mobile access point 4. It is given to the portable information terminal 5 via the ESL controller 8 and to the ESL 6 via the ESL controller 8 (step S58). Portable information terminal 5
Displays the status of the production digestibility C.

FIG. 6 is a view showing a display screen of the portable information terminal 5. The left side shows a display example of the production rate when the display shelf in the sales floor is viewed from above, and the right side shows the production rate. The display example at the time of seeing the display shelf with a bad rate situation from the front is shown. This display example is arbitrarily color-coded according to the production digestion rate C, and indicates that the production digestion rate of the product C3 on the display shelf 700 is poor. At this time, the portable information terminal 5 may display the status of the production digestion rate G in comparison with the status of the production digestion rate C or in place of the status of the production digestion rate C.

In this way, the worker can recognize a product that is poorly sold and has a low production digestibility C. Thus, the operator can determine whether to reduce the price of the product having the poor production digestibility C.

Then, the sales floor analysis server 11 receives from the portable information terminal 5 whether or not to lower the commodity price by the operator (step S59). When executing the price reduction of the product price, the sales floor analysis server 11 transmits the price change information of the product to the POS controller 1 and the ESL controller 8 (Step S60). And POS
The controller 1 gives the POS scanning system 3 the price change information of the product, and the ESL controller 8 causes the ESL 6 to display the changed product price based on the price change information.

ESL6 indicates the production digestibility C. At this time, the ESL 6 may display the time-of-day sales forecast comparison G of the production digestibility together with the production digestibility C or instead of the production digestibility C. In this case, the ESL controller 8 receives the information that the production digestibility C is lower than the predetermined value, and provides the information to the ESL 6 via the ESL base station 9 and the ESL transmitting / receiving unit 10. ES
L6 receives the information that the production digestibility C is lower than the predetermined value, and repeatedly turns on and off (flashes) the light emitting units 800 and 801 as shown in FIG.

[0083] FIG. 7 (a), (b) is a diagram showing an example of a light emitting portion 800 and 801 of ESL6. In the example of FIG. 7A, the light emitting units 800 provided along the four sides of the ESL 6 blink, and in the example of FIG. 7B, the light emitting units 801 provided along one side of the ESL 6 blink. I do.

Thus, it is possible to give a product production instruction based on the production digestibility C, and to determine the priority of the product to be produced without relying on experience and memory. The product can be specified accurately.
In addition, the worker can promptly give a product production instruction by manual operation using the portable information terminal 5 or the ESL 6 while checking the products displayed on the display shelf.

Further, the operator can identify the product to be produced by the identification information included in the production instruction, and can recognize the quantity to be produced from the production quantity of the product included in the production instruction. Proper production work can be performed.

Next, a method of calculating the display completion rate in the sales floor analysis server 11 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the calculation process of the display completion rate by the counter analysis server 11.

First, the sales floor analysis server 11 reads the actual production quantity A of the product given from the scale controller 14 (step S81). Then, the production instruction number H
Is read (step S82). Here, the production instruction number H refers to the number of commodities for which production instructions have been actually issued from the start of the day to the present. The production number of commodities included in the production instruction is determined based on the number of commodities that can be displayed on the display shelf and the actual sales number of commodities.

Next, the sales floor analysis server 11 calculates the display digestion rate K using the actual production quantity A and the production instruction quantity H as in the following equation (step S83).

Display Extinguishing Rate K = Actual Production Number A / Production Instruction Number H × 100 (4) For example, the progress status of product production work is poor, and the actual production number A is 5, and the production instruction number H is It is assumed that there are twenty. In this case, according to the above equation (4), the display digestion rate K is 2
5%. Further, it is assumed that the progress status of the product production work is good, the production result number A is 20, and the production instruction number H is 22. In this case, according to the above equation (4), the display digestion rate K is 90.9%.

As described above, the display completion rate K is an index indicating the ratio of the actual production quantity A to the production instruction quantity H. This indicates the progress of the production operation. The display completion rate K indicates that the higher the numerical value is, the more the production operation is progressing, and the lower the numerical value is, the more the production operation is delayed. Therefore, when the display digestibility K is low, it means that it is necessary to make a recommendation to promote the production operation.

Next, the sales floor analysis server 11 reads the previous time slot sales actual number as the time slot sales prediction number F for each product (step S84). Then, using the actual production quantity A and the time slot sales prediction quantity F, the display digestion rate is compared with the time slot sales prediction J as shown in the following equation (step S85).

Time zone sales forecast comparison J = production actual number A / time zone sales forecast number F × 100 (5) Here, the time zone sales forecast number F will be sold in the relevant time zone in the future. It means the number of products that are predicted to be waxed.
Further, the display period ratio J of the time zone sales forecast comparison J is an index indicating the ratio of the time zone sales forecast number F to the actual production number A.

[0093] For example, 10 is poor production results the number A the progress of the goods of the production work, time zone sales forecast number F 20
In this case, time zone sales forecasts contrast J of the display digestibility of 50%
Becomes

On the other hand, when the progress of the production work of the product is good and the actual production quantity A is 40 and the time slot sales prediction quantity F is 20, the display digestion rate J is 200% of the time slot sales prediction.
Becomes

As described above, when the numerical value of the display ratio J in comparison with the time zone sales forecast is low, the priority for making a recommendation to promote the production operation is high, and when the numerical value of the time period sales comparison J is high, , Lowering the priority of making recommendations to encourage production work.

Next, a process of making a recommendation for a production operation in the sales floor analysis server 11 based on the display completion rate will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a process of recommending a production operation using the display completion rate by the sales floor analysis server 11.

First, the sales floor analysis server 11 reads the calculated display rate K (step S91).
The calculated time period sales comparison J of the display completion rate is read (step S92).

Then, the sales floor analysis server 11 determines whether or not the product production work is in progress by comparing the display completion rate K with a predetermined value set in advance (step S93). Product production work has been delayed and the display digestion rate K
Is lower than the predetermined value, the sales floor analysis server 11 determines whether or not the recommendation has already been transmitted from the portable information terminal 5 through the portable access point 4, or from the ESL 6 to the ESL.
Recommendation via the controller 8 determines whether or not sent (step S94), if the recommendation is transmitted, reads the recommendation (step S95).

This is because the operator confirms the number of remaining commodities displayed on the display shelves of the sales floor or uses the ES shown in FIG.
When the light emitting units 800 and 801 of L6 are confirmed and a recommendation is made using the portable information terminal 5, the sales floor analysis server 11
This is to make another recommendation, taking into account the recommendations already made.

[0100] Then, recommendations from the portable information terminal 5 or ESL6, depending on the display digestibility K, it is determined whether to recommendations for production operation again (step S9
6).

If the recommendation has not been transmitted in step S94 or if it is determined in step S96 that the recommendation should be made again, the counter analysis server 11 sets the display digestion rate K
Based on the recommendation from the portable information terminal 5 or the ESL 6, a priority is assigned, and the recommendation is transmitted to the automatic weighing / packaging / pricing device 16 and the weighing / pricing device 18 (step S97). As a result, the recommendation is displayed on the display units 15 and 17 of the automatic weighing / packaging and pricing device 16 and the weighing and pricing device 18.

FIG. 10 is a view showing a display example of a recommendation of a production operation on the display units 15 and 17 of the automatic weighing / packaging / pricing apparatus 16 or the weighing / pricing apparatus 18.

As shown in FIG. 10, the automatic weighing and packaging valuation device 16 and the weighing and price valuation device 18 are displayed on the display units 15 and 17 of the automatic weighing and packaging valuation device 18 after a delay in the production operation. The identification information of the product in question is displayed, and a recommendation for production work is made.

From these facts, it is possible to determine the remaining number of products on the display shelf based on the display completion rate K, so that it is possible to determine the priority of the product for which the production work should be promoted without relying on experience and memory. Thus, it is possible to further recommend the promotion of the product production work for the product whose production work is delayed.

In the present embodiment, the scale controller 14 corresponds to the production result managing means, the POS controller 1 corresponds to the sales result means, and the sales floor analysis server 11 comprises the display remaining number managing means, the first and second calculation means. Mobile information terminal 5 and ESL

[0106] In the example of FIG. 5, department analysis server 11
Determines in step S53 whether or not to give a production instruction based on the production digestion rate C. However, the sales floor analysis server 11 determines in step S53 not only the production digestion rate C but also the time slot sales of the production digestion rate. It may be determined whether to give a production instruction in consideration of the predicted number G. For example, the expected number of sales G in the production time zone is compared with a predetermined value, and a comparison result of the production digestion rate C with the predetermined value and a comparison result of the expected number of sales G in production time rate with the predetermined value are combined. It may be determined whether or not to give a production instruction based on the.

Further, in the case where the sale of the product is poor, an instruction to lower the price of the product is issued. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Is also good.

Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 9, the sales floor analysis server 1
In step S93, it is determined whether or not to make a recommendation based on the display completion rate K.
In step S93, it may be determined whether or not to make a recommendation in step S93 in consideration of not only the display digestion rate K but also the predicted number J of time slot sales of the display digestion rate. For example, the expected number of sales J in the time zone of the display digestion rate is compared with a predetermined value, and the display digestion rate K is calculated.
It may be determined whether or not to make a recommendation based on a combination of the comparison result between the predetermined number and the comparison result of the display period and the expected number of sales J in the display digestion rate with the predetermined value.

In the above embodiment, the ratio between the actual sales quantity and the actual production quantity is used as the relative value of the actual sales quantity to the actual production quantity, but the difference between the actual sales quantity and the actual production quantity is used. You may. Further, although the ratio between the actual production quantity and the production instruction quantity is used as the relative value of the production actual quantity to the production instruction quantity, the difference between the production actual quantity and the production instruction quantity may be used.
