[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a production management technique, and more particularly to a production capacity distribution technique for distributing a plurality of workers (human resources) performing production activities at a manufacturing base such as a factory in accordance with a production plan.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The modern age is said to be an era of multi-variable variable production, and customer needs for products are diversifying and short-lived, and demand fluctuations are becoming more and more intense. Therefore, it is important for a company to minimize the product inventory and shorten the production lead time to increase profits. In order to realize these, supply chain management (hereinafter, SCM: Supply Chain Management), Various systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP, Enterprise Resource Planning) have been introduced, and efforts are being made to streamline all manufacturing processes including sales, development, planning, procurement, manufacturing, distribution, and sales. In addition, at each manufacturing site, in order to reduce inventory, the review of production plans has been shortened from monthly to weekly and daily units, with the aim of establishing a production system that can instantly control production volume according to demand. Process review and introduction of a production start scheduler are progressing.
[0003]
However, even if the production system changes, the number of workers (human resources) who are actually performing production activities in the factory will increase or decrease the number of workers on a weekly or daily basis in response to sudden changes in production plans. It is difficult to do. As a result, human resources can be secured with a margin so that it can cope with an increase in demand beyond the initial production plan. Alternatively, the actual situation is to respond by extending the working hours due to overtime or work on holidays. (First prior art).
[0004]
Further, when the production plan is changed, the person in charge of the work also needs to review it appropriately. As a technology for automatically extracting the appropriate workers for the work in accordance with the change in the production plan, information on the product experience of the workers is registered, and based on the registered past performance information. A technique is disclosed in which a skill parameter is assigned to each worker, and a worker most suitable for a product to be worked on and work contents are automatically extracted from the value of the parameter. (Second conventional technique See, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0005]
Against this background, a temporary staffing company has also been providing worker dispatch services to manufacturing bases, and it has become possible to adjust human resources on a daily basis (No. Three prior art).
[0006]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-2002-116815
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the first prior art described above, if the demand is not expected to increase, there is a risk of having excess personnel, which may put pressure on profits.
[0008]
Further, in the above-mentioned second prior art, it is possible to preferentially assign a worker having a high product experience based on the past product experience of the worker, and it is possible to improve work efficiency. Since the calculation of the required number of workers is not performed in consideration of the amount, fluctuations in the amount of work due to fluctuations in demand may cause surplus or shortage of workers.
[0009]
Furthermore, in the third technology, the staff of the dispatching company discusses the calculation of the required number of dispatched staff and the selection of dispatched staff that can respond technically with the dispatch dispatcher, or The former staff calculates the required staff, specifies the required skills (skills), and then determines the number of dispatched personnel and selects the staff, and the staff is selected based on intuition and experience. ing. Therefore, it is difficult to calculate an appropriate number of dispatched personnel for the amount of work, and there is a possibility that surplus personnel or a shortage of personnel may occur. In addition, there is a problem that the staff of the dispatching company needs to meet with the staff of the dispatch requester in examining the contents of the required skills, which takes time.
[0010]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a production site, based on a production plan of each production site, for a person who is appropriate for the content of work at each production site and has a sufficient and sufficient work amount. The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to automatically allocate strategic resources.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, at least one production site and a human resource management unit that manages information on personnel are connected via a network, and a production capacity distribution system that distributes personnel at the production site is provided. The human resources management department has information on the history of workers, and the production base has information on the production plan and information on the work time required for production calculated based on the production plan. In this method, the number of personnel required for the work is calculated based on the work time, and the number of personnel is distributed with reference to the information on the personnel of the personnel management department through a network.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Consists of Although not shown in FIG. 1, the resource management unit 1 and each manufacturing base management unit have a computer, and each DB is connected to the computer to perform data management and data input / output. In addition, tools such as SCP and ERP are installed in the computer of the manufacturing base management unit of each manufacturing base, and production plans and the like calculated using these are registered in the production planning DB and the working time DB as data.
Note that the above-mentioned human resource management unit 1 may use a human resource management system such as a temporary staffing company.
[0014]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of the aforementioned DB in the production capacity distribution system according to the present invention.
Hereinafter, the configuration of the database will be described in detail. As the DB, a general client / server compatible database system or another type of database system is used.
[0015]
First, the worker DB 101 includes a worker ID, a name, a gender, and an age. Next, the work history DB 102 includes a worker ID, a base ID, the number of working days, a product group, a work type, and work contents. The production plan 111 includes a base ID, a product group, a model name, a production date, and a production number. The work time DB 112 includes a base ID, a product group, a model name, a work type, a work content, and a work time. The manufacturing base DB 113 includes a base ID and a base name.
[0016]
Next, the flow of the distribution process in the production capacity distribution system according to the present invention will be described using the flowchart of FIG. 3 and FIG.
FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of the distribution processing in the present embodiment.
[0017]
FIG. 4 shows an example of registration of each DB in the above-described production capacity distribution system of the present invention.
In this embodiment, for simplicity, only one manufacturing base will be described. However, even when a plurality of manufacturing bases are used, the same processing may be performed for each manufacturing base in accordance with the flowchart of FIG.
[0018]
First, in step 301, the operation time for each operation type for each production day is calculated. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the production model on the first day of the production plan 420 is model A of 50 units, the operation time of the model A in the operation time DB 430 is 10 minutes for assembly, 50 minutes for welding, and 40 minutes for inspection for each operation type. Therefore, the number of work steps for each work type on the first day is obtained as follows.
Assembling: 50 units × 10 minutes = 500 minutes Welding: 50 units × 50 minutes = 2500 minutes Inspection: 50 units × 40 minutes = 2000 minutes The second and third days can be obtained by the same procedure. The number of work steps 440 shown in the embodiment of FIG.
[0019]
Next, in step 302, the required personnel for each type of work for each production day is calculated.
In the embodiment of FIG. 4, since the operating time per day is 400 minutes from the production plan 420, the required number of workers 450 for each type of work on the first day is obtained as follows.
Assembling: 500 minutes / 400 minutes = 2 people (however, round up below the decimal point)
Welding: 2500 minutes / 400 minutes = 7 people (however, round up below the decimal point)
Inspection: 2000 minutes / 400 minutes = 5 people (however, rounding up below the decimal point)
The second day and the third day can be obtained in a similar procedure, and the required workers 450 are shown in the embodiment of FIG.
[0020]
Next, in step 303, the number of workers 460 for increasing or decreasing the work type with respect to the previous day for each production day is calculated.
The increase or decrease in the number of work types 460 for the work type with respect to the day before the second day is obtained as follows.
Assembling: 2 to 2 people = 0 Welding: 8 to 7 people = 1 person Inspection: 6 to 5 people = 1 person On the third day, the same procedure can be obtained. 460.
[0021]
Next, in step 304, the most suitable personnel for the task type is selected by the number of increasing / decreasing personnel. The method will be described below.
First, a description will be given of a method of selecting workers when increasing the number of workers on the second day.
First, the operator searches the work history DB 410 for an operator whose product group is a refrigerator, whose work content is pipe welding, whose work type is welding, and which has performed the largest number of working days. The condition setting method for selecting the most suitable personnel will be described with reference to the Venn diagram 500 of FIG. The area numbers described in the Venn diagram represent the most suitable personnel order, with 1 being the optimal personnel selection and 8 being the worst personnel selection. For example, one area means a worker who has a work experience that satisfies all of the product group, the work content, and the work type. The area 2 means a product group and a worker who has work experience with respect to the work content. By the way, the area of 8 means the case where no work is experienced.
[0022]
In the embodiment of FIG. 4, a worker whose product group is a refrigerator, whose work content is pipe welding, and whose work type satisfies all the conditions of welding (corresponding to the area 1 in the Venn diagram 500 of FIG. 5) is selected from the work history DB. Since the search is not found, the operator searches the work history DB for an operator (corresponding to the area 2 in the Venn diagram 500 in FIG. 5) whose product group is the refrigerator and whose work content satisfies the pipe welding conditions. However, since there is still no such person, next, a worker (corresponding to the area 3 in the Venn diagram 500 of FIG. 5) whose work type satisfies the welding condition is searched from the work history DB. Since there is still no corresponding person, next, a worker (corresponding to the area 4 in the Venn diagram 500 of FIG. 5) whose work content is pipe welding and the work type satisfies the welding condition is searched from the work history DB. Since there is no corresponding person, a worker whose work content further satisfies the conditions for pipe welding (corresponding to the area 5 in the Venn diagram 500 of FIG. 5) is searched from the work history DB. (Corresponding to the area 6 in the Venn diagram 500 of FIG. 5) that satisfies the condition (1) in the work history DB, the worker with the worker ID of 3 is found. Therefore, it is possible to specify the worker whose worker ID is 3.
[0023]
On the other hand, when it is necessary to reduce the number of persons on the third day as in the third day, the personnel to be reduced may be selected according to the judgment of the personnel manager in accordance with the number of persons instructed to reduce the system, and the work capacity may be reduced. If a day labor contract is concluded under the terms of the labor contract with the temporary agency, it is possible to deal with sudden staff reductions.
[0024]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the step of selecting the most suitable personnel for the type of work, a case where the arrangement priority of the workers can be changed will be described in detail below.
[0025]
In the second embodiment, the manufacturing base management unit of the above-described first embodiment newly includes an arrangement priority table 600 shown in FIG. The arrangement priority table shown in FIG. 6 is a table in which arrangement priorities are added to the arrangement conditions of individual workers.
[0026]
For example, in the case of the table configuration as shown in FIG. 6, the priority configuration as shown in FIG. 7 (Ven diagram 700 in FIG. 7) is represented by the Venn diagram 500 used for describing the priorities. That is, the table values of the product group, the work content, and the work type are all 1, which means that the worker who has the same work history in all items has the highest priority, and then the product group and the work type are the same. Priority is set based on the relationship between table values and priorities, such as workers with work histories have higher priorities, and then workers with the same work type and work histories have higher priorities. Can be changed.
[0027]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the above-described manufacturing base management unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the arrangement priority table 600 shown in FIG. The arrangement priority can be switched on a program by including the information. For example, when a table configuration represented as a Venn diagram 800 in FIG. 8 is employed, a product group is prioritized, and when a worker is added, a worker who has the same work experience as the product group has priority. Is selected.
[0028]
Further, when a table configuration represented as a Venn diagram 900 in FIG. 9 is adopted, the type of work is prioritized, and when adding a worker, workers who have the same work experience as the work contents are given priority. Selected. Further, when a table configuration represented as a Venn diagram 1000 in FIG. 10 is adopted, the type of work is prioritized, and when adding a worker, a worker who has the same work experience as a work type has priority. Selected.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the production capacity distribution system of the present invention, it is possible to calculate the amount of work at each manufacturing base by referring to the production plan and the work time database of each manufacturing base. Since it can be obtained quantitatively, there is an effect that it becomes possible to lower the risk of surplus personnel or shortage of personnel with respect to fluctuations in demand.
[0030]
In addition, since workers who are familiar with the operations for manufacturing products can be preferentially allocated, it is possible to reduce the risk of surplus personnel and shortage of workers in response to demand fluctuations, and to increase production efficiency. It works.
