Description

  The present invention relates to a spectacle frame order receiving system that accepts an order for spectacle frames via a public network such as the Internet.

  Conventionally, in the manufacture of eyeglass frames by order from a customer, it has been manufactured in accordance with specifications determined according to the customer's request. The spectacle frame manufacturing process generally includes a process for manufacturing a part, a process for processing the manufactured part as necessary, and a process for assembling the part. The parts constituting the spectacle frame include temples, wisdom, bridges, brace bars, rims, rim locks, hinges, pad components, eyebrows, modern, screws, etc. (see Non-Patent Document 1).

  In such a spectacle frame composed of many parts, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), in general, after design and specifications are determined and an order is received, frame design, mold design, mold Manufacture, parts manufacturing and processing, and assembly into spectacle frames. For this reason, it takes a certain period of time from receiving an order to delivery. As a method for shortening the delivery time, a system that accepts orders using the Internet has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

Further, in order to secure profits, a manufacturer of eyeglass frames starts production after receiving an order for a predetermined quantity or more, and sets a trading limit.
On the other hand, on the customer side, there is an advantage that the unit price decreases as the number of purchased items increases. However, if the purchased eyeglass frame does not sell very much, it will have a lot of inventory, so it is necessary to purchase a small number of items. I hope.

The applicant has not yet found prior art documents related to the present invention by the time of filing other than the prior art documents specified by the prior art document information described in this specification.
JP 2003-255281 A “Glossary of Eyeglass Frame”, JIS Handbook Optical Equipment, B7280, pp. 29-44, Japanese Standards Association, Goro Mori, 1987.

However, in the manufacture of eyeglass frames, it takes time to design and manufacture the mold. For example, even if the existing mold can be used, such as when the same specifications or detailed specifications are changed, orders are received. Since the production of each part has started since then, even if the order is determined in a short period of time, the delivery date cannot be significantly shortened.
Conventionally, as described above, there has been a problem that the demand of the customer and the demand of the manufacturing side do not coincide with each other due to the danger caused by the stock burden in the production quantity.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and reduces the risk due to the stock burden on both the customer side and the manufacturing side, and the spectacle frame that has received the order can be delivered in a shorter period of time. The purpose is to be able to.

The eyeglass frame order receiving system according to the present invention receives an order for a common part of a predetermined quantity or more sent from a user terminal device via a wide area communication network, and is ordered by an order from the user terminal device, for example, a bridge, temple, etc. And an order receiving server for receiving an order for a spectacle frame using a common part including wisdom via a wide area communication network.
According to this system, parts that have been ordered in advance are used for manufacturing the ordered spectacle frame.

In the spectacle frame order receiving system, the order receiving server may accept an order when the number of spectacle frames ordered is equal to or less than the number of sets of common parts being ordered.
In addition, the common parts that have been ordered are parts that constitute a spectacle frame included in the spectacle frame sample information that has been sent to the user terminal device in advance. The order receiving server may accept changes other than the change of the common parts that have been ordered when receiving the order of the spectacle frame. This change is, for example, the spectacle frame specification.
In addition, the delivery date of the eyeglass frame that has received the order may be calculated based on the scheduled completion date of the common part and notified to the user terminal device.

  As described above, according to the present invention, an order for a spectacle frame using a common part that has been ordered by an order from a user terminal device is received via the wide area communication network, so that the order has been received in advance. The parts are used for manufacturing the ordered eyeglass frames, the risk of inventory burden on both the customer (user) side and the manufacturing side is reduced, and the ordered eyeglass frames are delivered in a shorter period of time. An excellent effect is obtained.

  In addition, when the frame order processing unit 103 receives the spectacle frame specification and the information on the number of orders from the user terminal device 140, the order number of spectacle frames is within the remaining number of common component sets that have already been ordered. Judgment (judgment) is possible or not. Accordingly, the order receiving server 100 shown in FIG. 1 receives an order for a spectacle frame that can be manufactured within the number of sets of common parts that have already been ordered. The frame order processing unit 103 also determines whether or not a spectacle frame having the accepted specifications can be manufactured.

  The image display processing unit 104 generates image data of a spectacle frame sample to be displayed on a purchased part selection screen or a spectacle frame specification setting screen for accepting an order for parts or spectacle frames. The image display processing unit 104 uses the information and image data stored in the frame sample information storage unit 108 and the product information storage unit 130 to generate the above-described spectacle frame sample image data.

  The price calculation processing unit 105 calculates the price of the part (part set) for which the order has been received and the spectacle frame. The price calculation processing unit 105 calculates the order number of each part from the part order contents and the order set number, and calculates the price of the part based on the part price table stored in the part information storage unit 131. The price calculation processing unit 105 calculates the price of the spectacle frame based on the specs of the spectacle frame that has been ordered and the number of orders based on the spectacle frame price table stored in the frame information storage unit 132.

  When the order request for the spectacle frame sent from the user terminal device 140 is accepted, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 displays the spectacle frame order information in the accepted order request and the part order status at the time when the order is accepted. Based on the completed parts and the unfinished parts with different completion dates, the number of days required for manufacturing the spectacle frame is calculated. The delivery date calculation processing unit 106 also calculates the number of days required for delivery.

  Further, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 calculates a spectacle frame completion date and a delivery date based on the calculated spectacle frame manufacturing required date, delivery required date, and part completion planned date, and the spectacle frame order information storage unit 122. To remember. A calculation table stored in the frame information storage unit 132 is used to calculate the required number of days for manufacturing the eyeglass frame and the required number of days for sending. In addition, when change information, such as a scheduled part completion date or a spectacle frame completion date, is received from the manufacturer, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 calculates the scheduled completion date and the delivery date again.

  The user information storage unit 107 stores information for identifying users (retail stores, customers, etc.) who use each user terminal device 140. The user information storage unit 107 includes, for example, an identifier for identifying the user, a password for user authentication used when the user terminal device 140 logs in, regional information such as a user address and a user store location, The contact information such as the e-mail address, telephone number, and facsimile number is stored. In addition, the user information storage unit 107 stores information such as a method for sending a product desired by the user.

  The frame sample information storage unit 108 stores information related to a spectacle frame sample to be displayed on a purchased parts selection screen when ordering parts or a spectacle frame setting screen when ordering spectacle frames. The selection screen is sent to the user terminal device 140 and displayed on the display unit of the user terminal device 140. For example, specs of spectacle frame sample, specs that can be set for each spectacle frame (selectable parts, parts position, spectacle frame type, lens shape, etc.), spectacle frame selection screen and screen for spectacle frame specification setting screen display Information such as data and a description of the spectacle frame sample is stored in the frame sample information storage unit 108.

  The contact processing unit 109 performs information notification to a manufacturer such as a manufacturing department or a manufacturing company that manufactures each part of the spectacle frame, and information notification to the target user terminal device 140. The contact processing unit 109 notifies the manufacturer of the contents of the order of the parts and the manufacturing instruction. Further, the contact processing unit 109 accepts notification of information such as the manufacturing status and the part completion scheduled date sent from the manufacturer. Further, the contact processing unit 109 notifies the target user terminal device 140 of the order contents when the order of the spectacle frame is confirmed, the processing status of the ordered product, and the like.

  For example, when the contact processing unit 109 receives a notification of an order confirmation of a part or a spectacle frame from the part order processing unit 102 or the frame order processing unit 103, the contact processing unit 109 extracts information on the order contents from the order information storage unit 120, Information (message) to be notified to the user terminal device 140 is generated. For example, the contact processing unit 109 notifies the order contents. In addition, the communication processing unit 109 notifies a manufacturing terminal device (not shown) of a manufacturing instruction. These notifications can be sent out as e-mails, for example. Further, it may be automatically converted into facsimile data and transmitted.

  The order receiving server 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a computer device including a CPU, a main storage device, an external storage device, a network connection device, and the like, and the CPU is operated by a program developed in the main storage device. Each function mentioned above is implement | achieved. Each function may be distributed among a plurality of computer devices.

Next, an operation example of the order receiving server 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS.
First, an operation example of processing for receiving a part order will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the connection control unit 111 receives a connection request from the user terminal device 140 and the authentication processing unit 112 ends the authentication process, the connection control unit 111 notifies the user terminal device 140 that the authentication has been performed. In this way, after the user terminal device 140 logs into the order receiving server 100, when the order procedure start request is sent from the user terminal device 140, the sent order procedure start request is accepted by the user input data processing unit 110. The part order processing unit 102 is notified.

  Upon receiving the notification of the order procedure start request, the component order processing unit 102 causes the screen display processing unit 113 to generate a component order screen, and sends the generated component order screen to the target user terminal device 140 (step S201). The parts ordering screen is a screen for accepting orders for parts (common parts) to be sold before ordering eyeglass frames. In the present system, an order for a spectacle frame using the received common part is received as described below in a state where the common part has been received in advance.

Common parts can be set as desired, but parts that are manufactured using molds and have low versatility (parts that greatly affect design) are used as common parts. If parts that are not manufactured or parts that are highly versatile are excluded from common parts, the delivery time can be shortened and inventory risk can be further reduced.
In particular, wisdom, bridges, and temples have a great effect on the design of the spectacle frame and are manufactured using a mold, so that a great effect can be obtained by setting them as common parts. These parts have a greater influence on changes in the appearance of the spectacle frame compared to other parts.

  Further, parts other than the common parts (hereinafter referred to as non-common parts) include hinges, rim wires, rim locks, pad components, modern, eyebrows, screws, and the like. In addition, even parts that can be manufactured without using general-purpose parts and molds, parts that can only be combined with specific common parts (for example, hinges that can only be combined with a specific armor) ) Or a component to be attached to the common component may be a common component.

After sending the above-described parts order screen for common parts, the parts order processing unit 102 sends images of a plurality of spectacle frame samples to the target user terminal device 140 as list information (step S202). As a result, the user terminal device 140 displays a parts order screen and a spectacle frame sample list screen. The spectacle frame sample list includes a plurality of frame samples using different common parts.
When one of the eyeglass frame sample lists displayed on the user terminal device 140 is selected by the user's operation of the user terminal device 140, the information on the eyeglass frame sample selected by the user terminal device 140 is stored in the order receiving server 100. Is sent out.

  The spectacle frame sample selection instruction sent from the user terminal device 140 is received by the parts order processing unit 102 via the connection control unit 111-user input data processing unit 110 (step S203). Upon receiving the spectacle frame sample selection instruction, the component order processing unit 102 sends a common component selection screen that allows selection of a common component based on the spectacle frame sample corresponding to the instruction to the logged-in user terminal device 140 ( Step S204).

The sent common component selection screen is displayed on the user terminal device 140.
The common part selection screen displays information and images of the selected spectacle frame sample, information of common parts constituting the frame sample, and information and images of common parts that can be selected and used. In such a common part selection screen, the common part can be changed to another common part, and the image of the spectacle frame sample is also changed according to the changed common part. Further, on the common component selection screen, frame specifications other than the selection of the common component can be changed as temporary frame specifications, and the frame image is changed according to the changed contents.

  In this way, since the common part can be selected while viewing the actual frame image, it is possible to select while imagining the completed frame. By the user operating the user terminal device 140 viewing the displayed common component selection screen, a purchase component (common component) selection instruction is sent from the user terminal device 140 to the order receiving server 100. The sent purchase parts selection instruction is received by the parts order processing section 102 via the connection control section 111-user input data processing section 110 (step S205).

  In accepting the selection instruction of the purchased part, the part order processing unit 102 changes the frame type (step S205-1), the target lens shape (step S205-2), the common part selection (step S205-3), and the non-common part. Changes such as selection (step S205-4), part position change (step S205-5), part specification change (step S205-6) such as size, color, shape, and additional processing are accepted. If there is no change in the common part from the frame sample selected first, the common part used in the selected frame sample is selected.

  Here, for example, types such as a full rim, a groove frame, and a rimless are finely classified according to a desired design and structure. In addition, a plurality of lens shapes can be selected. A plurality of types can be selected for non-common parts other than the common parts. In addition, the mounting positions of common parts and non-common parts can be changed, and the dimensions, shape, color, and other additional processing of common parts and non-common parts can be changed. The specification of the spectacle frame is configured by a combination of these changeable parts.

  After receiving the common part selection instruction as described above, the parts order processing unit 102 receives the number of order sets sent from the logged-in user terminal device 140 (step S206), and receives the order (step S207). . The parts order processing unit 102 that has received the order confirms that the received order set number is equal to or greater than the minimum order number (step S208).

  Next, the parts order processing unit 102 notifies the price calculation processing unit 105 of the received order set number, and calculates the number of parts and the price (step S209). Further, the part order processing unit 102 calculates a part completion scheduled date based on each received information (step S210). Thereafter, the parts order processing unit 102 sends an order content confirmation screen indicating the received order content to the logged-in user terminal device 140 (step S211). The order content confirmation screen is generated by the screen display processing unit 113 and is information for confirming the order content.

  Next, an instruction to confirm the order is sent from the user terminal device 140 to the order receiving server 100 by the operation of the user terminal device 140 by the user who visually recognizes the displayed order content confirmation information. The sent order confirmation instruction is received by the component order processing unit 102 via the connection control unit 111-user input data processing unit 110, and the received component order processing unit 102 confirms the order (step S212).

  In addition, the part order processing unit 102 that has confirmed the received order stores the received order content in a predetermined area of the order information storage unit 120 (step S213). For example, information such as order number, order date, order user information, ordered part identifier, part set identifier indicating combination of ordered parts, number of orders for each part, number of ordered sets, sales price, scheduled part completion date, etc. The part order information storage unit 121 and the user-specific order status storage unit 123 are stored in predetermined areas.

  In addition, the spectacle frame specification information set in the order for the common parts is stored in the frame order information storage unit 122 as temporary order information so that it can be referred to when ordering a frame to be described later. The specs of the spectacle frame include non-common parts, parts (common parts and non-common parts) specifications, parts (common parts and non-common parts) mounting positions, lens shapes, frame types, and the like. In addition, the number of eyeglass frames that can be ordered at the time when the above-described common component is ordered is also stored in the order status storage unit 123 for each user.

  At this time, if the same parts set that has been received before this time and has not been used for eyeglass frame orders remains, the number of parts sets ordered this time can be added to the number of remaining parts sets to receive an order for eyeglass frames. It is a number. In addition, information during component manufacture is stored in the component order information storage unit 121.

  Thereafter, the order details of the confirmed order stored in the order information storage unit 120 are notified to the manufacturing department, and the order details confirmed to be accepted are notified to the target user terminal device 140. These are performed by the contact processing unit 109.

  Next, an example of processing for receiving an order for a spectacle frame will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The order for the spectacle frame is made after receiving the order for the common parts described above. In other words, an order for a spectacle frame is made when a common part has already been ordered and purchased. Therefore, an order for a spectacle frame is possible if there is a remaining set of common parts that have been purchased.

In the following, an example of an order receiving operation for eyeglass frames will be described. When an order procedure start request for eyeglass frames is sent from the user terminal device 140 logged in to the order receiving server 100, the sent order request connection start is processed by user input data processing. Received by the unit 110 and notified to the frame order processing unit 103.
Receiving the notification of the order procedure start request, the frame order processing unit 103 causes the screen display processing unit 113 to generate a frame order screen, and sends the generated frame order screen to the target user terminal device 140 (step 300).

  Next, the screen display processing unit 113 generates a spectacle frame sample list screen in which the purchased common parts are used, and sends the generated spectacle frame sample list screen to the target user terminal device 140 (step S100). S301). As a result, the user terminal device 140 displays a spectacle frame sample list screen.

  When one of the eyeglass frame sample lists displayed on the user terminal device 140 is selected by the user's operation of the user terminal device 140, the information on the eyeglass frame sample selected by the user terminal device 140 is stored in the order receiving server 100. Is sent out. The sent spectacle frame sample selection instruction is received by the frame order processing unit 103 via the connection control unit 111-user input data processing unit 110 (step S302). Upon receiving the spectacle frame sample selection instruction, the frame order processing unit 103 displays a frame specification setting screen on the logged-in user terminal device 140 that can set the frame specification based on the spectacle frame sample information corresponding to the instruction. Send out (step S303).

  The transmitted frame specification setting screen is displayed on the user terminal device 140. The frame specification setting screen displays information and images of the selected spectacle frame sample, information and images of specifications that can be selected / changed (other than common component selection). In this specification screen, it is possible to set the frame specification other than the common component change, and the frame image is changed according to the changed content. A spectacle frame specification setting instruction is sent from the user terminal device 140 to the order receiving server 100 by an operation of the user terminal device 140 by a user who visually recognizes the displayed frame specification setting screen. The sent spectacle frame specification setting instruction is received by the frame order processing unit 103 via the connection control unit 111-user input data processing unit 110 (step S304).

  In accepting the spectacle frame specification setting instruction, the frame order processing unit 103 changes the frame type (step S304-1), the target lens shape change (step S304-2), the non-common component selection (step S304-3), and the component position. Changes (step S304-3), changes such as part specification changes (step S304-5) such as dimensions, colors, shapes, and additional processing are accepted. Since the common parts used are those that have already been purchased, the specification selection instruction is not accepted.

  It should be noted that, in accepting the spectacle frame specification setting display described above, setting of a specification that cannot be manufactured is not accepted. Conditions that cannot be manufactured are stored in advance in the product information storage unit 130, and based on this, the above-described determination is made. Therefore, for example, the operation of changing the frame type is allowed to be changed only within a range in which purchased common parts can be used.

  After receiving the spectacle frame specification determination instruction as described above, the frame order processing unit 103 receives the order number of the spectacle frames transmitted from the logged-in user terminal device 140 (step S305), and accepts the order ( Step 306). The frame order processing unit 103 that has received the order confirms that the order number of the received spectacle frame is equal to or greater than the minimum order number (finished product or color specification) (step S307). In addition, the frame order processing unit 103 confirms that the number of orders accepted in step S305 is equal to or less than the frame orderable number (step S308). If it is less than the minimum order number or exceeds the frame orderable number, the process returns to step S305.

  Next, the frame order processing unit 103 notifies the price calculation processing unit 105 of the accepted number of order sets, and calculates the price of the spectacle frame (step S309). The price of the spectacle frame does not include the price of common parts. Further, the frame order processing unit 103 causes the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 to calculate a frame completion scheduled date (step S310). The delivery date calculation processing unit 106 calculates a frame completion scheduled date based on each information received and stored in the order information storage unit 120. Thereafter, the frame order processing unit 103 sends an order content confirmation screen showing the accepted order content to the logged-in user terminal device 140 (step S311). The order content confirmation screen is generated by the screen display processing unit 113 and is information for confirming the order content.

  Next, an instruction to confirm the order is sent from the user terminal device 140 to the order receiving server 100 by the operation of the user terminal device 140 by the user who visually recognizes the displayed order content confirmation information. The sent order confirmation instruction is received by the frame order processing unit 103 via the connection control unit 111-user input data processing unit 110, and the received frame order processing unit 103 confirms the order (step S312).

In addition, the frame order processing unit 103 that has confirmed the received order stores the received order content in a predetermined area of the order information storage unit 120 (step S313).
Thereafter, the order details of the confirmed order stored in the order information storage unit 120 are notified to the manufacturing department, and the order details confirmed to be accepted are notified to the target user terminal device 140. These are performed by the contact processing unit 109.

  Next, the frame completion scheduled date calculation (delivery date calculation process) of the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 in step S310 described above will be described. The delivery date is calculated based on the scheduled completion date of parts (common parts), the number of days required for manufacturing the spectacle frame, and the number of days required for delivery (delivery). For example, at the time of receiving an order for a spectacle frame, the delivery date differs depending on whether the common parts have already been manufactured or not. The delivery date calculation processing unit 106 refers to the order status of parts such as the scheduled completion date of parts stored in the user-specific order status storage unit 123 and the number of parts ordered, and calculates the right description for each case. To do.

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 first extracts information on the number of completed (manufactured) component sets and the number of component sets for each scheduled completion date from the order information storage unit 120 ( Step S401).
Next, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 allocates the number of eyeglass frames that have been ordered to the number of parts sets that have been completed and each scheduled completion date (step S402). In this allocation, a completed part or a part with an earlier scheduled completion date is used.

  For example, as a common part that has been ordered, there are 100 sets of completed parts, 200 sets of parts scheduled to be completed in one week, and 300 sets of parts scheduled to be completed in two weeks. When an order is received, “100 eyeglass frames are manufactured with completed parts, 200 eyeglass frames are manufactured with parts scheduled to be completed after one week, and 300 eyeglass frames are manufactured with parts scheduled to be completed after two weeks. ".

  Similarly, in a situation where there are common parts (orders received), 200 spectacle frames of spec A and 300 spectacle frames of spec B are ordered, and the spectacle frames of spec A are preferentially manufactured. "100 spec spectacle frames are manufactured with completed parts, and 100 spec spec spec frames and 100 spec spec spec frames are manufactured with a part to be completed after one week. Allocate as follows: “Make 200 spectacle frames of specification B with the parts to be completed later”.

  Next, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 calculates a delivery date for each allocated condition. First, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 calculates the number of eyeglass frames manufactured using the completed parts (step S404) for manufacturing the eyeglass frames using the completed parts (step S403), and the calculated number of eyeglass frames. The required production days are calculated (step S405). For example, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 refers to a spectacle frame manufacturing required days calculation table in which the relationship between the number of manufactured frames and the required number of manufacturing days stored in the frame information storage unit 132 is calculated, and calculates the required manufacturing days. . Further, if the relationship between the number of manufactured frames, the specification, and the required number of manufacturing days is defined in the spectacle frame manufacturing required days calculation table, the required manufacturing days for each specification can be calculated.

  The delivery date calculation processing unit 106 that has calculated the required number of manufacturing days as described above calculates the required number of days required for sending by referring to the required number of days required for transmission calculation table stored in the frame information storage unit 132, and calculates the required number of required manufacturing days. And a delivery date is calculated based on the required number of days for sending (step S406). The required delivery days calculation table defines the required delivery days for each address of the delivery destination, and refers to the address of the delivery destination stored in the user information storage unit 107 and the delivery method designated by the user. The delivery date calculation processing unit 106 calculates the required number of days for delivery.

  On the other hand, for the manufacture of spectacle frames using parts that are not being manufactured or not manufactured (step S403), the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 first calculates the number of days required for manufacturing the parts (step S407). The delivery date calculation processing unit 106 calculates the number of days required for a part based on the scheduled part completion date stored in the part order information storage unit 121.

  Next, the number of eyeglass frames manufactured using unfinished parts is calculated (step S408), and the required number of days for manufacturing the calculated number of eyeglass frames is calculated (step S409). For example, the delivery date calculation processing unit 106 refers to a spectacle frame manufacturing required days calculation table in which the relationship between the number of manufactured frames and the number of required manufacturing days stored in the frame information storage unit 132 is calculated, and calculates the required manufacturing days. . Further, if the relationship between the number of manufactured frames, the specification, and the required number of manufacturing days is defined in the spectacle frame manufacturing required days calculation table, the required manufacturing days for each specification can be calculated.

  The delivery date calculation processing unit 106 that has calculated the required number of days for manufacturing as described above calculates the required number of days for transmission with reference to the required number of days required for transmission calculation table stored in the frame information storage unit 132, and calculates the required number of required manufacturing days. And a delivery date is calculated based on the required number of days for delivery (step S410). The delivery required days calculation table defines the relationship between the address of the delivery destination, the delivery method designated by the user, and the number of days required for delivery. The delivery date calculation processing unit 106 refers to these definitions. The number of days required for sending is calculated.

  Here, when a spectacle frame having a different specification is ordered, the number of days required for manufacturing may be calculated as follows. First, the standard number of days required for manufacturing a spectacle frame is calculated from a table showing the standard number of days required for manufacturing corresponding to the total number of orders for spectacle frames for each specification. Next, for each specification, a table defining the deviation from the standard production required days corresponding to the number of orders is referred to, and the standard production required days are corrected for each specification to calculate the production required days.

  As described above, according to the system shown in FIG. 1, when the spectacle frame is ordered, the common parts can be prepared. As shown to (a), it becomes a process of component assembly-> finishing adjustment-> shipment. On the other hand, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), after receiving an order for a spectacle frame, the process is from design to mold manufacturing to component fabrication to component assembly to finish adjustment to shipment. The number is large.

  In the case of orders with the same specifications or orders with changes in specifications using the same common parts (re-orders), in the present invention, as described above, the process is assembling parts → finishing adjustment → shipping. In this process, parts are manufactured using molds, parts are assembled, finishing adjustments, and shipments are made. Even in the case of re-orders, the number of processes is large. As described above, according to the system shown in FIG. 1, the number of processes after the order of the spectacle frame is reduced, so that the delivery time can be shortened.

As described above, according to the present invention, excellent effects can be obtained, such as shortening the delivery date and further reducing the inventory risk.
Conventionally, the order side of an eyeglass frame has taken time to be fortunate after placing an order. As a result, there was a large risk of inventory burden if it could not be sold. In addition, in order for the order receiving side to quickly respond to the user's order, there is a risk of holding the stock when the eyeglass frame (finished product) is in stock, and when the order is less than expected.

  On the other hand, according to the present invention, since common parts are ordered in advance, the cost of inventory held on the ordering side can be reduced, and the time from ordering of eyeglass frames to delivery is shortened. It is possible to place an order with the company and the risk of inventory burden can be reduced. In addition, since the specs of the spectacle frame can be changed within the range where the same common parts are used, the specifications can be changed according to the sales. For example, it is possible to order multiple spectacle frames with different specifications in the tab product at the time of purchase, order the spectacle frames with specifications that were selling well among them, and not order the spectacle frames with specifications that did not sell well It becomes. It is also possible to place an order with fine changes in specifications (design) according to the season.
