  In the past, management managers themselves did not perform simulations on the forecast figures of management indicators, but had to refer to the results of implementation and aggregation for each department.

  In the present invention, the cost, shipment planned number, exchange rate, etc. are stored in the database as simulation parameters on the Web, and management functions such as sales, gross profit, profit and loss are added by adding a function that allows the manager to freely change the parameters. The purpose is to provide a function that can easily simulate the forecast value of the index value.

  Conventionally, management index values are managed on a daily basis, and future forecast values are displayed as numerical values and graphs on the Web, but there is no function to reflect simulation results as new forecast values.

  In the present invention, a function of reflecting the simulation result from the PC of each business manager on the Web as a new prospect value is added, and the version simulation is performed as a simulation scenario together with the simulation result in the past, The purpose is to provide functions that can be stored and displayed in a database.

In order to solve the above problems, the following means are provided.
In order to achieve the above object, each forecast value calculated for each department is displayed as a graph on the Web in units of management index values such as sales, gross profit, and profit / loss. Cost data forecast value in model name unit, planned shipment quantity in model name unit, exchange rate, etc. are held in the database as forecast value calculation parameters, and various parameters can be freely changed on the user side, and simulation is performed. The simulation result executed in the past is subjected to version management together with the simulation scenario, and in addition to the function that enables comparison with the simulation result in the past, the management management simulation system has a function to reflect it.

  By adopting the present invention, it becomes possible for a business manager to easily perform a simulation on the Web, and to display a plurality of simulation results performed by a third party simultaneously (version management function). Therefore, compared with the conventional method of closely examining the results of each department in charge, it is possible to increase the opportunity for executives to interact with each other, greatly reducing the time to the next action, In addition to resource saving, it is possible for each manager to perform simulations assuming various cases by changing simulation parameters.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The present invention is a business model that supports management managers to quickly respond to speed management, in addition to a function that can link simulation results and scenarios and display various patterns of prospect values on the screen.

  First, the outline of this system will be described with reference to the business management system outline diagram of FIG. This system includes a business management system server (10), an intranet (20), and a client PC (30). The business management system server (10) includes an AP (application) server (11) and a DB (database) server (12). The prospective numerical data is calculated from the cost data for each model name registered in the DB server (12) in the business management system server (10), the planned shipment quantity, the hit rate for the planned shipment quantity, and the exchange rate. The AP server (11) has a program processing function for outputting to the Web browser of the client (30) via the intranet (20). Further, the client (30) can access the AP server (11) from anywhere within the network connected by the intranet (20) and execute the simulation program.

  The simulation numerical value processing calculation method will be described with reference to the simulation numerical value calculation method processing outline diagram of FIG. Data that is the basis for the simulation value calculation is extracted from the other system server (13) and stored in the business management system server (10). Cost data for each model name registered from the other system server (13) to the management system server (10), the number of planned shipments for each model name, the hit rate for the planned shipment number for each model name, It is possible to change from 30). These changed contents can be stored in the DB server (12) as a scenario (40) from the simulation screen, and the simulation result can be held.

  Next, an outline of the process from the forecast value to the simulation value creation will be described with reference to the simulation value creation flowchart of FIG. From the other system server (13), the management management system server (10) obtains the planned number of shipments in the model name unit, the cost data in the model name unit, and the exchange data, from which the forecast value is calculated, and the DB server (12) (Step 101). A line-of-sight value is calculated based on the data acquired from the other system server (13), and the value is passed to the AP server (11) in response to a request from the client (30) (step 102). A graph and a table are displayed on the browser of the client (30) based on the acquired prospect value.

  The model unit cost used to calculate the forecast value, the planned shipment quantity, the hit rate for the planned shipment quantity, and various parameters of the exchange can be changed from the terminal of the client (30) (step 103). Recalculation is performed on the changed parameter using the calculation formula calculated in step 102 (step 104). The simulation can be performed any number of times (step 106). When the simulation result is finally reflected in the business management system, a scenario holding various parameters is created simultaneously (step 105), and the DB server ( 12) (step 107).

  Next, the screen display of the simulation result will be described with reference to the process outline diagram up to the simulation display of FIG. A list of simulation scenarios registered in the past is displayed from the DB server (12). A scenario is displayed from a scenario list screen (201), and a simulation display screen (203) for displaying the selected scenario as a graph. However, a simulation can be executed when the new creation (207) button is pressed. This scenario list screen (201) counts the number of accesses, and has two functions of displaying the scenario in order from the scenario with the largest number of accesses and displaying it in order of registered date (200). . On the scenario list screen (201), each scenario has a check box (202), and whether to display the graph can be selected by turning on / off.

  The simulation display screen (203) is composed of a graph (204) for displaying the actual values up to the present and a graph (205) for displaying the future prospect values for the scenario selected on the scenario list screen (201). In the lower part of the graph, there is a column (206) for displaying a list of scenarios for the simulation values displayed in the graph. The result of the simulation has a function of storing together with the scenario (40) in the DB server (12) of the management system server (10) by a save button (208).

  Processing until the simulation numerical value is displayed on the screen of the client (30) will be described according to the simulation screen display processing flow of FIG. When the simulation is executed, the client (30) selects a scenario to be displayed from the scenario list screen (201) using the check box (202) (step 301). At this time, it is possible to select from the pull-down list, the order of the number of accesses and the order of the registration date, as the order of arrangement of the scenarios (step 302). After selecting the scenario, the simulation result for the scenario selected by the check box is acquired from the DB server (12) and displayed on the simulation display screen (203) (step 307, step 304).

  Further, the business management system server (10) counts the number of times of display for the scenario displayed by simulation in order to display the scenario in order of the number of accesses on the scenario list screen (201) (step 308). The simulation is displayed on the simulation display screen (step 305). After creating the scenario (step 306), the simulation result and the scenario are stored in the DB server (12) (309). After storing in the DB server (12), the simulation result is displayed on the simulation display screen (203).

  In this way, the simulation program receives an instruction to execute a simulation on sales or gross profit from the user, and based on the received instruction to execute the simulation, the cost of the model unit stored in advance in the database, Read parameters such as the planned shipment quantity, exchange rate, etc., receive an instruction to change the parameter from the user, and based on the received instruction to change the parameter, simulate future prospects assuming various cases, The simulation execution result is displayed numerically and graphically on the screen.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the management administrator can easily perform simulation on the Web, and a plurality of simulation results performed by a third party can be displayed side by side (version management function).

  Therefore, compared with the conventional method of closely examining the results of each department in charge, it is possible to increase the opportunity for executives to interact with each other, greatly reducing the time to the next action, In addition to resource saving, each management can change the simulation parameters and perform simulations assuming various cases.
