N) may be connected to exchange data via the communication network 3.

Here, when the substitute parts are delivered from the parts department of the automobile company, the recycled parts collection management slip is attached to the parts. The remanufactured parts collection management slip is moved together with the replacement parts, and after the parts are attached at the sales company or the like, it is moved together with the parts to be collected and returned to the department in charge of the parts. In addition, the vehicle information of the recycled parts collection management form, etc.
Entered when replacing parts at a vehicle sales company.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of the recycled parts collection management slip. In the present invention, the recycled component collection management code is printed on the recycled component collection management form. The recycled component recovery management code individually corresponds to the alternative component to be delivered and the component to be recovered, and may be, for example, a one-dimensional code such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code.

Seal lot No.・ The collection part number and department sales (parts sales company) code are recorded by the department in charge of parts of the automobile company when the parts are delivered. As the vehicle information, when a vehicle sales company or the like replaces a part, information on a part replacement target vehicle is recorded. In addition, each department that handles alternative parts or recovered parts shall enter the date and signature.

Next, the processing of the recycled parts collection / management system of the present invention when the parts are delivered will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 3 and 4. Outgoing process is carried out by the issuing input means 4
Is started after identifying a delivery slip including information such as a part number, quantity, and a store by reading a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code such as a barcode printed on the slip. Here, the identification information of the delivery slip is stored in a buffer (not shown) by the recycled parts collection management unit 1. A label showing the details of the content of the component such as the type of the component and the lot number is attached to the delivered component. The label may include a one-dimensional code such as a bar code or a two-dimensional code, and the delivery input means 4 may read the code indicating the detailed contents of this part after identifying the delivery slip.

Here, it is assumed that the following processing is performed after reading the shipping slip and the detailed contents of the parts from the shipping input means 4. In step S305 of FIG. 3, the remanufactured parts collection management unit 1 determines whether or not the part number according to the information of the read content description label matches the already read part number of the delivery slip. If they do not match, an error is displayed in step S370. Next, in step S310, the remanufactured part recovery management unit 1 determines whether or not the delivered part is a target to be reclaimed as a remanufactured part based on the part number. If it is not the recycled component to be collected, in step S360, a shipping process other than the recycled component is performed. If it is a remanufactured part to be collected, in step S320, the remanufactured part collection management unit 1 determines whether or not the content detail reading flag is off. The content detail reading flag will be described later. If the content detail reading flag is not off, an error is displayed in step S350. If the content details read flag is off,
In step S330, the detailed contents are read and stored in the buffer. Succeedingly, in a step S340, a content detail reading flag is turned on. As described above, the content detail reading flag indicates a state in which the content detail of the part to be collected is read by the delivery input means 4.

Next, the processing shown in the flow chart of FIG. 4 is performed after the delivery input means 4 reads the recycled component recovery management code of the recycled component recovery management tag including the bar code, for example. In step S410, the recycled parts collection management unit 1 determines whether or not the content detail reading flag is on. If it is not ON, an error message is displayed in step S450, and then the process ends. If it is on, in step S420, the read reproduction component recovery management code is stored in the storage means 2 in association with the content of the delivery slip and the content specification of the recovery target component. Next, in step S430, the content detail reading flag is turned off. Further, in step S440, the warehousing of the component related to the recycled component recovery management code is completed.

It should be noted that, by performing the processing as described above, the input of the detailed description of the parts to be collected and the input of the recycled parts collection management code are always associated with each other, and both are associated with the storage means 2. It is something that can be remembered. The shipping process is not completed when only one of them is input.

Now, with reference to FIG. 5, a description will be given of how the data of the delivered parts and the reproduction component recovery management code are stored in the storage means 2.
FIG. 5 shows the structure of a reproduction parts collection management file that stores the above data. A record of the reproduction parts collection management file is provided for each part to be collected. Data such as a parts sales company (department sales) code and a vehicle sales company (sales company) / base code is edited by the reproduction parts collection management means 1 from the original data of the shipping slip. Also, the progress of the recovery status is managed by the recycled component recovery management means 1. For example, in step S440 of FIG. 4, it is set as "delivered" after the delivery of the component related to the recycled component recovery management code is completed.

Next, the processing at the time of parts collection of the recycled parts collection management system of the present invention will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. The process at the time of parts collection is started by the collection input means 5 identifying the recycled parts collection management code attached to the collected parts. Step S6
At 10, the remanufactured parts collection management means 1 determines whether or not the identified remanufactured parts collection management code is stored in the remanufactured parts collection management file of the storage means 4. If not stored, an error is displayed in step S640 and the process ends. Next, step S62.
At 0, it is determined whether or not the progress status of collection is “delivery completed” and not “collected”. If it does not correspond to any of the above, an error is displayed in step S650. If it is neither “delivered” nor “collected”, in step S630, the recycled component recovery management unit 1 sets the recovered progress status of the recycled component recovery management file to “collected”. It should be noted that the vehicle information and the like entered in the recycled parts collection management table may be input from the collection input means 5. In that case, recycled parts collection management means 1
However, the input information may be stored in the recycled component recovery management file for each recycled component recovery management code.

Next, the processing at the time of parts delivery of the recycled parts collection management system of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The process at the time of parts payout is started by the payout input means 6 identifying the recycled parts collection management code attached to the parts to be paid out. Step S7
At 10, the remanufactured parts collection management means 1 determines whether or not the identified remanufactured parts collection management code is stored in the remanufactured parts collection management file of the storage means 4. If not stored, an error is displayed in step S740 and the process ends. Next, step S72.
At 0, it is judged whether or not the progress status of collection is “collected” and not “paid”. If it does not apply to any of them, an error is displayed in step S750. If it is neither “collected” nor “paid”, in step S730, the recycled component recovery management unit 1 sets the progress status of recovery of the recycled component recovery management file to “paid”. The recovered parts are delivered to the supplier together with the recycled parts recovery management form, and recycled.

A point to be noted here is that the progress of the recovery status of each recovery target component can be managed based on the data of the recycled component recovery management file. Also,
Based on this data, it is possible to reliably and promptly pay the collected parts fee to the vehicle sales company that collected the parts.
