Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a schedule creation support that can clarify matters considered when creating a schedule, evaluate the validity of the created schedule, and efficiently create a highly accurate schedule. The present invention relates to an apparatus and a schedule creation support system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when managing the progress of a work process, a process schedule is considered and a schedule table (also simply called a schedule) is created. In creating the schedule, the work items that must be performed are listed, the appropriate staffing for each work item, the start and end conditions for each work are clarified, and the time required to perform each work is determined. I have to. In particular, development and design work involves working on new technologies that have never existed before, so it is rare that past schedules can be used as they are, and the work contents expressed in the schedule are the individual schedules created. Everything will be different. Under these circumstances, recently, in order to reduce the burden of schedule creation work, with the support of software, work items, persons in charge of work, start and end dates of work or the load of each worker, meetings, business trips, Planning is performed while visually grasping factors to be considered when formulating a schedule such as a holiday.

Conventional systems for supporting schedule creation include, for example, a system described in JP-A-9-259178 and a system described in JP-A-10-240797. The former forecasts process delays based on performance data that expresses the strengths and weaknesses of workers according to the type of work, and also reports the occurrence of personal factors that cause delays in schedules such as meetings and business trips. The present invention relates to a process management system that supports schedule creation in consideration of a process delay by providing information on the predicted delay. Also,
The latter makes it possible to clarify the progress in the middle of document creation, to realize more accurate and timely process control, and to review the plan according to the finalization of the specification even when the specification is gradually consolidated. The present invention relates to a process management system.

[0004]

However, even with the support of the above system, the work may actually be delayed. The following three points can be considered as the cause. First
The person who creates the schedule and manages the progress of the work (hereinafter referred to as “manager”) often refers to similar schedules that were planned and executed in the past when creating the schedule. In many cases, the indicators that serve as indicators are not clear. In development and design work, work involves new technologies that have never existed before.Therefore, the contents of work expressed on a schedule are different for each schedule, and the delivery date and results are different. There is an aspect that it largely depends on the ability of the worker. However, such aspects are rarely taken into account in actual schedule creation, and are ultimately often left to the intuition and experience of the manager. Therefore, in many cases, the schedule created by the administrator is significantly different from the number of days estimated by each worker from the work contents.

[0005] Second, there is a possibility that setting of conditions for starting or ending each operation may be omitted. Implementing the created schedule may cause problems such as not being able to start or end the work on the scheduled day, but at the time of a meeting (generally called a review) to review the validity of the schedule It is extremely difficult to foresee such a problem. This means
Even if it is considered when drafting a schedule, only a few items appear in the created schedule, and from the perspective of each worker, what matters the schedule considers and how This is because it takes time and effort to check whether the items have been created through various processes or what items are being considered when creating the schedule.

Third, even if the worker notices and points out the above two problems, there is no way for the manager to easily understand the effect of the problem in each work on other works. The work is started according to the schedule while the problem is neglected, and it may be too late. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and in a device and a system for supporting schedule creation, while making active use of judgments and requests based on technologies and know-how possessed by each worker, , So that schedules can be created by making it clear to both the administrator and the workers what they considered when creating the schedule based on what the manager and the workers considered the schedule. With the goal.

[0007]

[0008] The generating means may include, among the registered start condition and end condition of the work, a condition of an end condition of the first work and a condition of a start condition of a second work immediately after the first work. It is preferable that the validity evaluation information is generated based on the number and the number of matching conditions between the end condition and the start condition. Further, it is preferable to provide means for storing work result data including worker evaluation information obtained by quantifying the abilities of workers. In any of the schedule creation support devices, means for creating a document heading based on the registered start and end conditions of the work, and associating the created document heading with the start and end conditions of the registered work.

In order to operate the schedule creation support system 100, a predetermined instruction must be input from the administrator computer 11 or the worker computer 12 to start the schedule creation support device 20. When the schedule creation support device 20 is activated, a predetermined menu screen is displayed. When a predetermined item is selected from among them, a registration screen is displayed on the administrator computer 11 or the operator computer 12. From the registration screen, necessary items can be registered in the achievement database 3,
In the start / end condition registration unit 6, the start condition and the end condition of each work to be considered in the schedule creation can be registered. The information such as the start condition entered and registered here is reflected in the contents of the schedule created later.

When creating a schedule,
The necessary items are selected from the items on the menu screen, and the respective processes are executed. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure of operations when creating a schedule according to the schedule creation support system 100. This flowchart shows the contents of the work performed by each of the manager and the worker. Note that S in the drawing
Is an abbreviation for step. In step 1 after the start of work, the manager lists work items necessary for creating a schedule. This is performed by the administrator operating the administrator computer 11 to activate the schedule creation support device 20 and accessing the result database 3. For example, two work items “high-speed digital circuit design” and “firmware” shown in FIG. 2 are listed. Subsequently, the administrator operates the administrator computer 11 to select an operator suitable for performing each of the listed operations. At the time of this selection, the administrator can make a selection by referring to the “working period” and “evaluation β in schedule creation” included in the “results” of the work stored in the results database 3.

In the following step 2, the administrator activates the schedule data management unit 4 and creates a schedule plan (schedule being created) using, for example, a Gantt chart. The schedule draft created at this time is, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 illustrates a screen layout of a schedule proposal displayed on the display of the administrator computer 11 or the operator computer 12 based on the schedule data. In this schedule proposal, the upper half of the screen is a schedule display D for grasping the required period for each operation. Below the schedule display D, a condition display E of the start condition and the end condition of the work registered in the start / end condition registration unit 6 corresponding to the schedule data is displayed. In the schedule display D, each work No. (Work number) The numbers (1), (2), (3),... Are displayed in the column of a, and the work 1b, 2b, 3b,.
Is displayed, and in the column of the worker c, the workers 1c, 2c, and 3c are displayed.
... Are displayed, and each work number is displayed in the column of date d. Required period display 1d, 2d,
3d ... is displayed. Here, the work NO. “a” is a serial number assigned to each work by the manager, work name “b” indicates the name of the work, and worker “c” indicates the person in charge of the work.

The condition display E is displayed on the computer 11 for the administrator.
Alternatively, on the display of the operator computer 12, a position display symbol such as a mouse pointer by an input means such as a mouse is arranged in the display area m, and is displayed by inputting an instruction p. In FIG. 4, in the display area E1 in the left half, the work No. whose work name is “system design of system A” is displayed. 1 is displayed, and in the display area E2 in the right half, a work No. whose work name is “basic design of firmware B” is displayed. The start condition of No. 2 is displayed.
In the display area E1, the display e1 indicating that "the basic specifications of each part have been determined." In the same way, the display condition e2 of “item of basic specification of block” is the work condition No. 1. This is the start condition of 2. In addition, the display e3 of "item of the basic specification of the block" in the display area E1 is a start condition of another work (not shown). In the display area E3, “evaluation α _1,2 in work No. 1-No. ₂ ” calculated in the subsequent step is recorded.

When creating a schedule, it is necessary to consider the start condition and end condition of each work in detail in order to create a highly accurate schedule. As described above, the schedule creation support apparatus according to the present invention as described above. According to the schedule creation support system 100 and the schedule creation support system 100, the start condition and the end condition that have been considered can be displayed together with the schedule, so that the process considered by the administrator in the schedule creation stage is left on the schedule. Can be. In addition, each worker himself is a worker computer 1
2 can be referred to the examination result, and the created schedule can be efficiently checked in the subsequent steps. Although it is possible to express the context between each work, such as the conventional creation of a schedule using a Gantt chart, for example, `` which work can be started when another work is completed '' planned by the administrator, It is difficult to read the reliability of the manager's plan from the contents of the expression, to what extent the manager's plan is reliable. However, according to the schedule creation support device 20 and the schedule creation support system 100 according to the present invention, such inconvenience can be solved. Further, it is possible for both the manager and the operator to clarify the basis on which the schedule is considered, and the matters considered when the schedule is created.

Next, proceeding to step 3, each worker examines the proposed schedule created in the above steps. That is, each worker operates his / her own worker's computer 12 to activate the start / end condition registration unit 6 of the schedule creation support device 20, and the start condition and the end condition considered by the administrator as described above. And make corrections such as additions and changes. FIG. 5 shows that each worker has a start condition
9 illustrates a screen layout for displaying a schedule draft in a state where an end condition is added and corrected. In FIG. 5, the start of each display e2, e3, e5
The number of termination conditions is increasing (the number before correction is two, whereas the number after correction is three, three, and four, respectively).
). Thus, according to the schedule creation support device 20 and the schedule creation support system 100 according to the present invention, the worker who is actually in charge of the work can examine the start condition and the end condition of each work in detail, Since the examination result can be reflected in the schedule, a more accurate schedule suitable for the actual situation can be created.

Subsequently, the routine proceeds to step 4. This step
Then, the administrator performs the inspection by each worker performed in step 3.
Check the content of the discussion. Do this check
Depending on, for example, the termination condition assumed by a certain worker
Does not match the start condition assumed by the person in charge of the next operation.
Problem with the schedule
Or the number of assumed start and end conditions is small,
In some situations, the module has not been considered enough.
Can be prevented beforehand. In this step 4
In the check, the administrator operates the administrator computer 11
Then, the schedule evaluation unit 7 is started to perform. Schedule
The check processing performed by the rule evaluation unit 7 is as follows.
It is based on an idea. Each item on the schedule is
Set a serial number n for each business and create a serial number n
J_nNotation. The serial number n is a natural number.
You. Each work is J_n-1, J_n, J_{n + 1}Executed in the order
And the number in the execution order of each work
The value is represented by the value of n. Also, work J_nWork in charge of
P _nNotation, worker P_nWork J_nAssumed at
The number of start conditions is I (n-1, n), and the number of end conditions is O
(N, n + 1).

Whether or not the schedule has been considered in detail is determined by the worker P _n-1 of the work J _{n- 1} which is the first work.
There condition number of assumed termination condition and starting condition of the operator P _n is assumed in the first task J _n-1 of the work is the second work immediately following J _n and both matched at that condition number The determination is made based on two factors, that is, the ratio of the number of conditions (hereinafter referred to as “the number of matching conditions”). In this case, the schedule is considered in detail as the number of conditions is larger and the ratio of the number of matching conditions is larger. After considering the schedule in detail according to the above idea,
By estimating the number of days by the manager and each worker, it is considered that a more accurate and accurate schedule can be created. Here, the validity evaluation information will be described. The validity evaluation information, the Validity working start condition and end condition of the work J _n which was scored (digitized), is defined as the following alpha _n.

[0023] α _{n, n + 1} is, "and the number of end conditions the operator P _n was assumed, the operator P _{n + 1} is the smaller of the values of the start number that assumes" and for the "start condition and end condition, the operator P _n And the ratio of the number of conditions that match with the worker _{Pn + 1} ”, which is expressed by the following equation (1). α _{n, n + 1} = Min | O (n, n + 1), I (n, n + 1) | × [S (n, n + 1) / {O (n, n + 1) + I (n, n + 1) −S (n, n + 1) }] (1) where S (n, n + 1) is O (n, n + 1) and I
(n, n + 1) represents the number of conditions whose contents match, and Min | O (n, n + 1), I (n, n + 1) | = O (n, n + 1) (O (n, n + 1) ≦ I (n, n + 1)) = I (n, n + 1) (I (n, n + 1) <O (n, n + 1)).

Then, the administrator calculates the number of coincidences between the end condition and the start condition and the number of non-coincidences for each operation, activates the schedule evaluation unit 7, and follows the formula (1). The validity evaluation information α is calculated for each work.
The schedule creation support device 20 transmits the calculated validity evaluation information α to the administrator computer 11 and displays the information on the display screen or the like. Therefore, since the administrator can refer to the displayed validity evaluation information α, the validity of the schedule is evaluated, and then the validity of the correspondence between the start condition and the end condition of each work is determined. be able to. Further, the administrator records the obtained validity evaluation information α in the column of display E3 in FIG. Note that, as described in step 2, “determination of basic specifications of block” is not a start condition of the work of N0.2, so α
It is not considered in the calculation of _{1 and 2} .

Next, proceeding to step 5, the administrator activates the schedule data management unit 4 and uses the validity evaluation information α obtained as described above to determine the validity of the equivalent or similar work obtained in the past schedule creation. Is compared with the sex evaluation information α.
When the schedule data management unit 4 is started, the newly calculated validity evaluation information α is compared with the validity evaluation information α of each work constituting the past schedule recorded in the schedule database, and the result is managed. Notify the administrator computer 11 used by the user. In this case, if the obtained validity evaluation information α is smaller than the validity evaluation information α obtained in the past, the administrator may have insufficient examination of the start / end conditions with respect to the schedule, and may have an accurate schedule. Can be determined that it is not the stage at which the can be created. In addition, it is possible to make an inquiry to the worker in charge as needed, and the worker who has been inquired by the manager can make an inquiry to step 3 if necessary.
Can be performed again. In this case, the administrator only has to carry out the operations of steps 4 and 5 again.

The validity evaluation information α obtained as described above
The evaluation of the work considered in the schedule creation was scored and made objective, so using this as an index to determine the validity of the created schedule, the manager's judgment It will be supported by the digitized data. Therefore, for example, it is possible to easily determine whether to finalize the created schedule and complete the schedule, or to request the operator to reconsider it because the material for the determination is not sufficient. In addition, since the determination is based on the quantified validity evaluation information α, it is easy to compare the newly created schedule with the schedule created in the past, and therefore, the past work can be effectively performed. A highly accurate schedule can be created easily.

On the other hand, if the administrator determines that there is no problem in the validity evaluation information α in the work of step 5, the process proceeds to step 6. In step 6, each worker performs step 3
Create a document heading based on the work done in. The heading of the document is created by activating the document heading creating unit 8 by the worker computer 11 used by each worker. This step 6
The heading of the document created by is as shown in FIG. 6, for example. This is an example of a heading of a system design specification (document) used in the work name “system design of system A” shown in FIGS. As shown in the figure, the heading of this document includes a display t1 of “overall specifications”, a display t2 of “parts specifications”, a display t3 of “block specifications”, a display t4 of “interface with other blocks”, The display includes a display t5 of “block specification” and a display t6 of “transfer method”. By creating the headline of this document, a skeleton of a document such as a design specification (“system design specification of system A” in FIG. 6) is completed.

The processing up to step 6 described above is performed before the start of the work according to the schedule. Step 7 following Step 6 is performed after the execution of the work according to the schedule is started. In step 7, each worker operates the worker's computer 12 to activate the document heading creation unit 8, and adds a description to the contents of the document along the heading of the document created in step 6. The document created here is stored in the document database 10. Subsequently, each worker activates the headline associating unit 9 to confirm the correspondence between the documents saved and the schedule management screens of FIGS.

Then, the process proceeds to a step S8. This step 8 starts execution of the work according to the schedule, and is executed when the execution is completed or when the schedule is reviewed. For example, when the schedule was created, the work period was not taken into account when estimating it.However, it was necessary to add items to the document after noticing that there were items that had a significant effect on man-hours. Can be In this case, although the item is present in the document due to the addition, there is no item corresponding to the start / end conditions considered in the schedule creation. In this case, the administrator operates the administrator computer 11 and then activates the headline association unit 9. Then, by associating the schedule with the document, it is possible to check (check) whether there is a correspondence between the schedule and the document. Therefore, it is possible to grasp whether or not there is a problem as described above, and if necessary, You can also review the schedule. In addition, the administrator can review the schedule creation work when the implementation of the schedule is completed, and use the information to grasp the points of reflection.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily associate a document with a schedule creation. Therefore, after the work is completed in accordance with the schedule, reflection on the schedule creation (estimation of work and actual Verification of the deviation from the work man-hours) can be performed efficiently, the work can be reviewed efficiently while the work is being performed according to the schedule, and the work in creating the schedule Can be efficiently linked to document creation. In addition, after the administrator starts the work according to the schedule, the manager can manage the progress of the estimated work.

Next, the worker evaluation information β of the worker will be described. The worker evaluation information β is an objective index for the manager to select the worker who is in charge of the work, and the result of the work to foresee the problem or issue at the time of creating the schedule is scored and This information is used as an objective evaluation of each worker and assists the manager in selecting an appropriate worker. The calculation of the worker evaluation information β is performed by the worker data management unit 2, and the calculation is performed as follows. As described above, the worker P receives the serial number n
Responsible for the work. When the worker evaluation information β of the worker P in the work of the number n is expressed as β _{p, n} , β
_{p and n} are calculated as in the following equation (2). And, that the β _{p, n} is the operator P and the total for all of the work that is responsible is the β _p.

Β_{p, n}= Β_{p, (n-1, n)}+ Β_{p, (n, n + 1)} (2) where β_{p, (n-1, n)}And β
_{p, (n, n + 1)}Are defined as follows:
You. β_{p, (n-1, n)}Is "Worker P_nAssumed
Number of start conditions "and" Worker P _n-1Termination condition assumed by
And worker P_nFor the total number of start conditions assumed
The worker P_nIs the ratio of the number of cases assumed ”.
β_{p, (n, n + 1)}Is "Worker P_nEnd assumed
Number of conditions "and" Worker P _nEnd conditions assumed and work
Person P_{n + 1}For the total number of start conditions assumed by
Worker P_nIs the ratio of the number of cases assumed ”. sand
That, β_{p, (n-1, n)}= I (n-1, n) × [I (n-1, n) / {O (n-1, n) + I (n-1, n) -S (n-1, n)}] = I (N-1, n)²/ {O (n-1, n) + I (n-1, n) -S (n-1, n)} β_{p, (n, n + 1)}= O (n, n + 1) × [O (n, n + 1) / {O (n, n + 1) + I (n, n + 1) -S (n, n + 1)}] = O (n, n + 1)²/ {O (n, n + 1) + I (n, n + 1) -S (n, n + 1)} In the development and design work, the part that depends on the ability of each worker is large.
The selection of workers is important because
