Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shipment limit management apparatus 20 that can reallocate shipments while any sales bases 13 are operating without hindering business activities at the operating sales bases 13. <P>SOLUTION: After the operating time of a sales base 13 whose sales-base-specific reallocation limit has been computed at a negative value, the shipment limit management apparatus 20, if a sales-base-specific shipment limit to the sales base 13 after the operating time is equal to a sales-base-specific shipment limit to the sales base 13 at the time of computation, applies the sales-base-specific reallocation limit to the corresponding sales-base-specific shipment limit, or if the sales-base-specific shipment limit to the sales base 13 after the operating time is smaller than the sales-base-specific shipment limit to the sales base 13 at the time of computation and larger than a corresponding sales-base-specific appropriate shipment limit, allocates the remaining value of the subtraction of the corresponding sales-base-specific appropriate shipment limit from the sales-base-specific shipment limit to the sales base 13 after the operating time, to other sales bases 13 in a proportion depending on the sales-base-specific reallocation limit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は、複数の販売拠点に対して、顧客からの注文に対する製品の供給を管理する技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a technique for managing supply of products in response to orders from customers to a plurality of sales bases.

従来、生産完了分として倉庫に入庫した製品を顧客別の販売予測に基づいて、対応する販売拠点の出荷枠に割当て、顧客端末を介して顧客から注文があった場合に、当該顧客の出荷枠から引当てて出荷を指示することによって、製品を各顧客に適正に割り振る技術が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。この技術では、出荷枠に対する受注状況やその他の需要予測手法に基づいて、販売計画が見直されると、見直された予測結果に基づいて、販売拠点に用意する出荷枠が再計算されることにより、各販売拠点に用意すべき適正な出荷枠が再割り当てられる。   Conventionally, products received in the warehouse as production completion are assigned to the shipping quotas of the corresponding sales bases based on the sales forecast for each customer, and when there is an order from the customer via the customer terminal, the shipping quota of the customer A technique for appropriately allocating products to each customer by instructing shipment and instructing shipment is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). With this technology, when the sales plan is reviewed based on the order status for the shipping allowance and other demand forecasting methods, the shipping allowance prepared at the sales office is recalculated based on the revised forecast result, Appropriate shipping quotas to be prepared for each sales base are reassigned.

特開2003−99507号公報書JP 2003-99507 A

しかし、物流の革新により、世界各地の市場に対して、統一的に製品の生産および出荷を管理し、顧客に対して直接配送する仕組みであるグローバルサプライチェーンを構成することが可能となった。このようなグローバルサプライチェーンにおいては、販売拠点、生産拠点、出荷拠点が世界各地に存在するために、各拠点間には時差が存在し、常にいずれかの販売拠点で注文を受け付けており、常にいずれかの生産拠点で新規に製品が製造されて販売拠点に割り当てられるというように、販売拠点での出荷枠が常に変わり続ける状況が発生する。   However, innovation in logistics has made it possible to create a global supply chain that is a system that manages production and shipment of products in a unified manner in markets around the world and delivers them directly to customers. In such a global supply chain, there are sales bases, production bases, and shipping bases all over the world, so there is a time difference between the bases, and orders are always accepted at one of the sales bases. There is a situation in which the shipping quota at a sales base constantly changes, such as when a new product is manufactured at one of the production bases and assigned to the sales base.

また、このようなグローバルサプライチェーンにおいては、常に販売拠点の出荷枠の状態が変わり続けるため、ある時点の出荷枠の残数に基づいて再割当の計算を行う必要がある。しかし、再割当の計算を行っている間に新たに別の注文が入ると、再割当の計算を開始した時点と再割当の計算結果を適用しようとした時点とで、再割当の基となった出荷枠残数が変化する場合があり、再割当を適切に実行できない場合があった。   Further, in such a global supply chain, the status of the shipping allowance at the sales base always changes, so it is necessary to calculate the reallocation based on the remaining number of shipping allowances at a certain time. However, if another new order is entered while the reassignment calculation is in progress, it will be the basis for the reassignment when the reassignment calculation starts and when the reassignment calculation result is applied. The remaining number of shipping allowances may change, and reassignment may not be performed properly.

そこで本発明は、上記の課題を解決することのできる出荷枠管理装置、出荷枠管理方法、そのプログラム、在庫引当管理システム、および出荷枠管理支援装置を提供することを目的とする。例えば、グローバルサプライチェーンにおいて、各販売拠点の出荷枠の再割当を適切に行えるようにする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a shipping frame management device, a shipping frame management method, a program thereof, an inventory allocation management system, and a shipping frame management support device that can solve the above-described problems. For example, in the global supply chain, it is possible to appropriately reallocate the shipping quota of each sales base.

上記課題を解決するために、出荷枠管理装置は、ある時点での販売拠点毎の製品の販売予測数、各販売拠点での製品の出荷可能数である販売拠点別出荷枠に基づいて、販売拠点毎に在庫されるべき適正な製品の数である販売拠点別適正出荷枠を算出し、算出した販売拠点別適正出荷枠から当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠を差し引いた値を、販売拠点別再割当枠として算出する。また、販売拠点別再割当枠および当該ある時点までに製造され、かついずれの販売拠点にも配分されていない製品の数である新規製造数に基づいて、新規に製造された製品の各販売拠点への配分数である販売拠点別新規割当枠を算出する。また、販売拠点別再割当枠が負の数となった販売拠点の稼働時間が終了した後に、当該販売拠点の稼働時間後の販売拠点別出荷枠と、当該販売拠点の当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠とが等しいか否かを判定し、当該販売拠点の稼働時間後の販売拠点別出荷枠が、当該販売拠点の当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠と等しい場合には、再割当枠算出部が算出した販売拠点別再割当枠を、対応する販売拠点の販売拠点別出荷枠に適用する。一方、当該販売拠点の稼働時間後の販売拠点別出荷枠が、当該販売拠点の当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠よりも少なく、かつ当該販売拠点に対応する販売拠点別適正出荷枠よりも多い場合には、当該販売拠点の稼働時間後の販売拠点別出荷枠から、当該販売拠点に対応する販売拠点別適正出荷枠を差し引いた値を、再割当枠算出部が販売拠点毎に算出した販売拠点別再割当枠に基づいて、他の販売拠点に配分する。   In order to solve the above problems, the shipping allowance management device sells products based on the estimated number of products sold at each sales base at a certain point in time and the number of products that can be shipped at each sales base. Calculate the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base, which is the appropriate number of products to be stocked at each base, and then calculate the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base by subtracting the shipping allowance for each sales base at that time. Calculated as a reassignment frame by location. In addition, each sales base for newly manufactured products based on the reallocation quota by sales base and the number of new manufacturing, which is the number of products manufactured up to that point and not allocated to any sales base Calculate the new quota for each sales base, which is the number of allocations to In addition, after the operating hours of the sales bases where the reallocation quota by sales base has become negative, the shipping quotas by sales bases after the operating hours of the sales bases and the sales at that point in time for the sales bases It is determined whether or not the shipping quotas by base are equal, and if the shipping quota by sales base after the operating hours of the sales base is equal to the shipping quota by sales base at that point in time of the sales base, The reallocation frame for each sales base calculated by the allocation frame calculation unit is applied to the shipping frame for each sales base of the corresponding sales base. On the other hand, the shipping allowance for each sales base after the operating hours of the sales base is less than the shipping allowance for each sales base at that point in time, and the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base corresponding to that sales base. In many cases, the reallocation quota calculation unit calculates the value obtained by subtracting the appropriate shipping quota for each sales base corresponding to the sales base from the shipping quota for each sales base after the operating hours of the sales base. Allocate to other sales bases based on the reassignment frame by sales base.

例えば、顧客からの製品の注文に対する在庫の出荷枠管理を行う出荷枠管理装置であって、各販売拠点での製品の出荷可能数である販売拠点別出荷枠を、販売拠点のそれぞれを識別する販売拠点識別情報に対応付けて格納する出荷枠格納部と、各販売拠点への製品の出荷枠の調整量である販売拠点別再割当枠を、販売拠点識別情報に対応付けて格納する再割当枠格納部と、新規に製造された製品の各販売拠点への配分数である販売拠点別新規割当枠を、販売拠点識別情報に対応付けて格納する新規割当枠格納部と、顧客からの注文が確定することによって前記販売拠点の前記販売拠点別出荷枠が変更された場合に、変更された前記販売拠点別出荷枠を前記出荷枠格納部に格納すると共に、前記出荷枠格納部内の前記販売拠点別出荷枠が更新された場合に、更新された販売拠点別出荷枠に対応する前記販売拠点に、更新された前記販売拠点別出荷枠を通知する出荷同期部と、販売拠点のそれぞれの稼働時間を、販売拠点識別情報に対応付けて格納する稼働時間格納部と、ある時点での販売拠点毎の製品の販売予測数および販売拠点別出荷枠に基づいて、販売拠点毎に在庫されるべき適正な製品の数である販売拠点別適正出荷枠を、販売拠点毎に算出する適正出荷枠算出部と、適正出荷枠算出部が算出した販売拠点別適正出荷枠から当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠を差し引いた値を、販売拠点別再割当枠として販売拠点毎に算出し、算出した販売拠点別再割当枠を再割当枠格納部に格納させる再割当枠算出部と、再割当枠算出部が算出した販売拠点別再割当枠および当該ある時点までに製造され、かついずれの販売拠点にも配分されていない製品の数である新規製造数に基づいて、販売拠点別新規割当枠を販売拠点毎に算出し、算出した販売拠点別新規割当枠を新規割当枠格納部に格納させる新規割当枠算出部と、稼働時間格納部に格納されているそれぞれの販売拠点の稼働時間を参照して、再割当枠算出部によって算出された販売拠点別再割当枠が負の数である販売拠点の稼働時間が終了した後に、当該販売拠点の稼働時間後の販売拠点別出荷枠と、当該販売拠点の当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠とが等しいか否かを判定し、当該販売拠点の稼働時間後の販売拠点別出荷枠が、当該販売拠点の当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠と等しい場合には、再割当枠算出部が算出した販売拠点別再割当枠を、対応する販売拠点の販売拠点別出荷枠に適用し、当該販売拠点の稼働時間後の販売拠点別出荷枠が、当該販売拠点の当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠よりも少なく、かつ当該販売拠点に対応する販売拠点別適正出荷枠よりも多い場合には、当該販売拠点の稼働時間後の販売拠点別出荷枠から、当該販売拠点に対応する販売拠点別適正出荷枠を差し引いた値を、再割当枠算出部が販売拠点毎に算出した販売拠点別再割当枠に応じた比率で、他の販売拠点に配分する再割当適用制御部とを備えることを特徴とする出荷枠管理装置を提供する。   For example, a shipping allowance management device for managing inventory shipping allowances for product orders from customers, and identifies the sales allowances by sales base, which is the number of products that can be shipped at each sales base. Reassignment that stores the shipping quota storage unit that stores the sales location identification information in association with the sales location identification information and the sales location reassignment quota that is the adjustment amount of the product shipping quota to each sales location. Frame storage unit, new allocation frame storage unit that stores the new allocation frame for each sales base, which is the number of distribution of newly manufactured products to each sales base, in association with the sales base identification information, and orders from customers When the shipping frame for each sales base of the sales base is changed by confirming, the changed shipping frame for each sales base is stored in the shipping frame storage unit, and the sales in the shipping frame storage unit Shipping quotas by location are updated The sales synchronization unit for notifying the sales bases corresponding to the updated sales bases for each sales base and the operating hours of the sales bases. It is the number of appropriate products that should be stocked at each sales base based on the operating time storage section that is stored in association with each other, the estimated number of products sold at each sales base at a certain point in time, and the shipping quota for each sales base. Value obtained by subtracting the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base from the appropriate shipping allowance calculation section for each sales base and the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base calculated by the proper shipping allowance calculation section. Is calculated for each sales base as a reallocation frame by sales base, and the reallocation frame calculation unit that stores the calculated reallocation frame by sales base in the reallocation frame storage unit, and the sales base calculated by the reallocation frame calculation unit Separate reassignment slots and up to that point in time Based on the number of new manufactures, which is the number of products manufactured at the same time and not distributed to any sales base, a new quota for each sales base is calculated for each sales base, and the calculated new quota for each sales base is calculated. Reassignment by sales base calculated by the reallocation quota calculation unit with reference to the new quota quota calculation unit to be stored in the new quota quota storage unit and the operating hours of each sales base stored in the operation time storage unit After the operating hours of a sales base with a negative number of frames are over, are the shipping quotas by sales base after the operating hours of the sales base equal to the shipping quotas by sales base at that point in time of the sales base? The sales quota calculated by the reallocation quota calculation unit if the shipping quota by sales base after the operating hours of the sales base is equal to the shipping quota by sales base at that point in time of the sales base. Relocation quotas by location, corresponding sales locations Applied to the sales base of each sales base, the shipping base by sales base after the operating hours of the sales base is less than the shipping base by sales base at that point in time of the sales base, and corresponds to the sales base If there is more than the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base, calculate the reallocation limit by subtracting the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base corresponding to that sales base from the shipping base for each sales base after the operating hours of the relevant sales base The present invention provides a shipping quota management apparatus comprising a reallocation application control unit that distributes to other sales bases at a ratio corresponding to the sales base-specific reallocation quota calculated by each sales base.

本発明によれば、グローバルサプライチェーンにおいて、いずれかの販売拠点が稼動している場合であっても、その稼動している販売拠点の受注活動を妨げることなく、各販売拠点の出荷枠の再割当を実施することができる。   According to the present invention, even if one of the sales bases is operating in the global supply chain, the shipping quota of each sales base can be restored without interfering with the order receiving activity of the operating sales base. Allocation can be performed.

以下に、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る在庫引当管理システム10のシステム構成を示す。在庫引当管理システム10は、出荷枠管理拠点15、複数の製造拠点11、および複数の販売拠点13を備える。複数の製造拠点11および販売拠点13と出荷枠管理拠点15とは、インターネット等の通信回線18を介して互いに通信可能である。本例において、複数の製造拠点11および販売拠点13は、時差の異なる複数の地域に配置されており、いずれかの製造拠点11および販売拠点13は、常に業務時間内であることを仮定している。また、それぞれの販売拠点13は、稼働時間外では製品の受注を受け付けないものと仮定している。   FIG. 1 shows a system configuration of an inventory allocation management system 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The inventory allocation management system 10 includes a shipping allowance management base 15, a plurality of manufacturing bases 11, and a plurality of sales bases 13. The plurality of manufacturing bases 11 and sales bases 13 and the shipping allowance management base 15 can communicate with each other via a communication line 18 such as the Internet. In this example, it is assumed that a plurality of manufacturing bases 11 and sales bases 13 are arranged in a plurality of regions having different time differences, and any one of the manufacturing bases 11 and sales bases 13 is always within business hours. Yes. In addition, it is assumed that each sales base 13 does not accept orders for products outside the operating hours.

それぞれの製造拠点11は、在庫管理装置12を有する。在庫管理装置12は、対応する製造拠点11で製造された製品の現在の在庫および計画された未来の製造数を管理する。それぞれの販売拠点13は、受注管理装置14を有する。それぞれの受注管理装置14は、通信回線18を介して顧客が使用する通信端末である顧客端末17と通信可能であり、通信回線18を介して、それぞれの顧客端末17から製品の引合いや見積依頼を受ける。受注管理装置14は、予め出荷枠管理拠点15によって販売拠点13毎に割り当てられた現在および計画されている未来の出荷枠を格納しており、顧客からの引合いまたは見積依頼を受け付けた場合に、対象の製品の仕様および価格を顧客に提示する。   Each manufacturing base 11 has an inventory management device 12. The inventory management device 12 manages the current inventory of products manufactured at the corresponding manufacturing base 11 and the planned number of future productions. Each sales base 13 has an order management device 14. Each order management device 14 can communicate with a customer terminal 17 that is a communication terminal used by a customer via a communication line 18, and through the communication line 18, an inquiry or a request for a quote from each customer terminal 17. Receive. The order management device 14 stores the current and planned future shipping quota allocated in advance by the shipping quota management base 15 for each sales base 13, and when receiving an inquiry or a request for quotation from a customer, Present the specifications and price of the target product to the customer.

そして、受注管理装置14は、顧客から仕様および価格への合意を取り付けた場合に、格納している出荷枠を参照して、引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数を当該出荷枠から差し引くことにより出荷枠を変更すると共に、引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数の出荷可能日を顧客に提示する。そして、受注管理装置14は、提示した出荷可能日への合意を顧客から取り付けた場合、変更した出荷枠を、通信回線18を介して出荷枠管理拠点15に送信する。一方、提示した出荷可能日への合意を顧客から取り付けることができなかった場合、受注管理装置14は、引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数を、変更した出荷枠に加えることにより、変更した出荷枠を元に戻す。   When the order management device 14 attaches an agreement to the specification and price from the customer, the order management device 14 refers to the stored shipping frame and subtracts the number of products corresponding to the inquiry or the quotation request from the shipping frame. In addition to changing the shipping allowance, the customer is presented with a shipping date for the number of products corresponding to the inquiry or request for quotation. The order management device 14 transmits the changed shipping frame to the shipping frame management base 15 via the communication line 18 when an agreement on the presented shipping date is attached from the customer. On the other hand, when the agreement on the proposed shipping date cannot be attached from the customer, the order management device 14 adds the number of products corresponding to the inquiry or the request for quotation to the changed shipping frame, thereby changing the shipping. Restore the frame.

また、それぞれの受注管理装置14は、出荷枠管理拠点15がそれぞれの販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠の割り当てを変更した場合、変更された販売拠点別出荷枠を受信し、格納している販売拠点別出荷枠を受信した販売拠点別出荷枠で更新する。なお、それぞれの受注管理装置14は、販売実績を記録しており、出荷枠管理拠点15からの要求に応じて、記録している販売実績を、通信回線18を介して出荷枠管理拠点15へ送る。   In addition, each order management device 14 receives and stores the changed shipping quota for each sales base when the shipping quota management base 15 changes the allocation of the shipping quota for each sales base of each sales base 13. Update the shipping allowance by sales base that received the shipping allowance by sales base. Each order management device 14 records the sales results, and the recorded sales results are sent to the shipping quota management base 15 via the communication line 18 in response to a request from the shipping quota management base 15. send.

出荷枠管理拠点15は、販売予測装置16および出荷枠管理装置20を有する。販売予測装置16は、それぞれの受注管理装置14から取得した製品の販売実績、製品の販売計画、および製品の需要予測等に基づいて、製品の販売予測数を算出する。   The shipping frame management base 15 includes a sales prediction device 16 and a shipping frame management device 20. The sales forecasting device 16 calculates the number of product sales forecasts based on the product sales results, product sales plans, product demand forecasts, and the like acquired from the respective order management devices 14.

出荷枠管理装置20は、販売予測装置16が算出した販売予測数、それぞれの受注管理装置14から取得した現在および計画された未来の出荷枠、ならびに、それぞれの在庫管理装置12から取得した現在の在庫および計画された未来の製造数に基づいて、それぞれの販売拠点13に割り当てるべき出荷枠を定期的に配分し直す。これにより、在庫引当管理システム10は、それぞれの販売拠点13に対して、より少ない在庫数で、より多くの製品を販売させることができる。   The shipping quota management device 20 calculates the sales forecast number calculated by the sales forecasting device 16, the current and planned future shipping quotas acquired from the respective order management devices 14, and the current acquired from the respective inventory management devices 12. Based on the inventory and the planned number of future productions, the shipping quota to be allocated to each sales base 13 is periodically redistributed. Thereby, the inventory allocation management system 10 can sell more products with a smaller inventory quantity to each sales base 13.

図2は、出荷枠管理装置20の詳細な機能構成の一例を示すブロック図である。出荷枠管理装置20は、新規割当枠算出部200、新規割当枠格納部202、再割当適用制御部204、販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206、再割当枠格納部208、再割当枠算出部210、適正出荷枠算出部212、出荷枠格納部214、および出荷枠同期部216を備える。   FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a detailed functional configuration of the shipping frame management apparatus 20. The shipping quota management apparatus 20 includes a new quota quota calculation unit 200, a new quota quota storage unit 202, a reallocation application control unit 204, an operating time storage unit 206 for each sales base, a reallocation quota storage unit 208, and a reallocation quota calculation unit 210. A proper shipping frame calculation unit 212, a shipping frame storage unit 214, and a shipping frame synchronization unit 216.

出荷枠格納部214は、各販売拠点13点での製品の出荷可能数である販売拠点別出荷枠を、販売拠点13のそれぞれを識別する販売拠点識別情報に対応付けて格納する。再割当枠格納部208は、各販売拠点13への製品の出荷枠の調整量である販売拠点別再割当枠を、販売拠点識別情報に対応付けて格納する。新規割当枠格納部202は、製造拠点11で新規に製造された製品の各販売拠点13への配分数である販売拠点別新規割当枠を、販売拠点識別情報に対応付けて格納する。販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206は、各販売拠点の稼働時間および各販売拠点13の出荷枠の変更容易性を、販売拠点識別情報に対応付けて格納する。   The shipping frame storage unit 214 stores the shipping frame for each sales base, which is the number of products that can be shipped at each of the 13 sales bases, in association with the sales base identification information for identifying each of the sales bases 13. The reassignment frame storage unit 208 stores a sales base-specific reassignment frame that is an adjustment amount of a product shipping frame to each sales base 13 in association with the sales base identification information. The new allocation frame storage unit 202 stores a new allocation frame for each sales base, which is the number of distribution of products newly manufactured at the manufacturing base 11 to each sales base 13, in association with the sales base identification information. The sales base-specific operation time storage unit 206 stores the operation time of each sales base and the ease of changing the shipping frame of each sales base 13 in association with the sales base identification information.

ここで、各販売拠点13の出荷枠の変更容易性とは、前回割り当てられた販売拠点別出荷枠を変更する場合の変更の容易さを示す値であり、販売拠点毎に予め算出される。変更容易性Yは、例えば以下の算出式によって算出される。   Here, the ease of changing the shipping frame of each sales base 13 is a value indicating the ease of change when changing the shipping base for each sales base assigned last time, and is calculated in advance for each sales base. The changeability Y is calculated by the following calculation formula, for example.

Figure 2006195710
ここで、nは、考慮する要素の数であり、X〜Xは、考慮するそれぞれの要素に該当するか否かを示す数値である。例えば、Xは、対応する販売拠点13が顧客と直に取引を行う形態であれば決められた在庫を変更するのは好ましくないので0、そうでなければ1、Xは、対応する販売拠点13が他の販売拠点13に比べて特に販売に力を入れていれば決められた在庫を変更するのは好ましくないので0、そうでなければ1という値である。変更容易性Yは0以上1以下の値であり、1に近いほど出荷枠の変更が容易であることを示す。
Figure 2006195710
Here, n is the number of elements to be considered, and X 1 to X n are numerical values indicating whether or not each element is considered. For example, X 1 is 0 because it is not preferable to change the determined inventory if the corresponding sales base 13 directly deals with the customer, otherwise 1 and X 2 are the corresponding sales. If the base 13 is particularly focused on sales compared to other sales bases 13, it is not preferable to change the determined inventory, so the value is 0, otherwise. The changeability Y is a value from 0 to 1, and the closer to 1, the easier it is to change the shipping frame.

出荷枠同期部216は、それぞれの受注管理装置14から更新された販売拠点別出荷枠を取得し、取得した販売拠点別出荷枠を出荷枠格納部214に格納させる。また、出荷枠同期部216は、再割当適用制御部204によって出荷枠格納部214に格納されている販売拠点別出荷枠が変更された場合に、変更された販売拠点別出荷枠に対応する販売拠点13の受注管理装置14へ、変更された販売拠点別出荷枠を通知する。適正出荷枠算出部212は、ある時点での販売拠点13毎の製品の販売予測数を販売予測装置16から取得し、取得した販売予測数および出荷枠格納部214に格納されている当該ある時点の販売拠点別出荷枠に基づいて、販売拠点別適正出荷枠を販売拠点13毎に算出する。   The shipping frame synchronization unit 216 acquires the shipping frame for each sales base updated from each order management device 14 and stores the acquired shipping frame for each sales base in the shipping frame storage unit 214. Further, when the reassignment application control unit 204 changes the shipping frame for each sales base stored in the shipping frame storage unit 214, the shipping frame synchronization unit 216 sells the sales frame corresponding to the changed shipping frame for each sales base. The changed shipping quota for each sales base is notified to the order management device 14 at the base 13. The proper shipping allowance calculation unit 212 obtains the sales forecast number of the product for each sales base 13 at a certain point of time from the sales forecasting device 16, and the obtained sales forecast number and the certain time point stored in the shipping quota storage unit 214. Based on the shipping frame for each sales base, an appropriate shipping frame for each sales base is calculated for each sales base 13.

適正出荷枠算出部212は、例えば以下の数学式2に基づいて、式の値Vを最小にする出荷日毎の適正出荷枠を、出荷日毎の販売拠点別適正出荷枠として算出する。   The appropriate shipping allowance calculation unit 212 calculates an appropriate shipping allowance for each shipping date that minimizes the value V of the formula, for example, based on the following mathematical formula 2, as an appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base for each shipping date.

Figure 2006195710
ここで、出荷枠とは、出荷枠格納部214に格納されている、対応する出荷日における、i番目の販売拠点の販売拠点別出荷枠である。販売予測数とは、販売予測装置16が算出した、対応する出荷日における、i番目の販売拠点の販売予測数である。w1iおよびw2iとは、数学式2の中の2つの項のうちどちらをより優先するかを指定する重み係数である。

Here, the shipping frame is a shipping frame for each sales base of the i-th sales base on the corresponding shipping date stored in the shipping frame storage unit 214. The sales forecast number is the sales forecast number of the i-th sales base on the corresponding shipping date calculated by the sales forecasting device 16. w 1i and w 2i are weighting factors that specify which of the two terms in the mathematical formula 2 has priority.

再割当枠算出部210は、適正出荷枠算出部212が算出した販売拠点別適正出荷枠から当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠を差し引いた値を、販売拠点別再割当枠として販売拠点13毎に算出し、算出した販売拠点別再割当枠を再割当枠格納部208に格納させる。また、再割当枠算出部210は、再割当適用制御部204から販売拠点別再割当枠の再計算を指示された場合に、適正出荷枠算出部212が算出した販売拠点別適正出荷枠に新規割当枠格納部202に格納された販売拠点別新規割当枠を加えた値から当該ある時点での販売拠点別出荷枠を差し引くことにより、販売拠点別再割当枠を再計算し、再計算した販売拠点別再割当枠を再び再割当枠格納部208に格納させる。   The reassignment frame calculation unit 210 uses the value obtained by subtracting the sales frame by sales base at a certain point in time from the proper shipping frame by sales base calculated by the proper shipping frame calculation unit 212 as a reassignment frame by sales base. It is calculated every time, and the calculated reallocation frame for each sales base is stored in the reallocation frame storage unit 208. In addition, when the reassignment frame calculation unit 210 is instructed by the reallocation application control unit 204 to recalculate the relocation frame for each sales base, the reassignment frame calculation unit 210 newly adds the proper shipping frame for each sales base calculated by the proper shipping frame calculation unit 212 By subtracting the shipping quota for each sales base at a certain point in time from the value added with the new allocation quota for each sales location stored in the allocation quota storage unit 202, the reallocation quota for each sales location is recalculated and recalculated sales. The base reassignment frame is stored again in the reassignment frame storage unit 208.

新規割当枠算出部200は、当該ある時点までに製造され、かついずれの販売拠点13にも配分されていない製品の数である新規製造数を、各製造拠点11の在庫管理装置12から取得し、取得した新規製造数および再割当枠算出部210が算出して再割当枠格納部208に格納させた販売拠点別再割当枠に基づいて、販売拠点別新規割当枠を販売拠点13毎に算出し、算出した販売拠点別新規割当枠を新規割当枠格納部202に格納させる。   The new allocation limit calculation unit 200 acquires the number of new manufactures, which is the number of products manufactured up to a certain point in time and not distributed to any sales base 13 from the inventory management device 12 of each manufacturing base 11. The new allocation frame for each sales base is calculated for each sales base 13 based on the acquired new manufacturing quantity and the reallocation quota for each sales base calculated by the reallocation quota calculation unit 210 and stored in the reallocation quota storage unit 208. Then, the calculated new allocation frame for each sales base is stored in the new allocation frame storage unit 202.

再割当適用制御部204は、新規割当枠算出部200によって新規割当枠格納部202に格納された販売拠点別新規割当枠を、出荷枠格納部214に格納された販売拠点別出荷枠に加算することにより、出荷枠格納部214に格納された販売拠点別出荷枠を更新すると共に、再割当枠算出部210に販売拠点別再割当枠の再計算を指示する。そして、再割当適用制御部204は、新規割当枠算出部200によって新規割当枠格納部202に格納された販売拠点別新規割当枠を用いて、再割当枠算出部210に販売拠点別再割当枠を再計算させる。   The reallocation application control unit 204 adds the new allocation frame for each sales base stored in the new allocation frame storage unit 202 by the new allocation frame calculation unit 200 to the shipping frame for each sales base stored in the shipping frame storage unit 214. As a result, the shipping frame for each sales base stored in the shipping frame storage unit 214 is updated, and the reassignment frame calculation unit 210 is instructed to recalculate the reallocation frame for each sales base. Then, the reallocation application control unit 204 uses the new allocation frame for each sales base stored in the new allocation frame storage unit 202 by the new allocation frame calculation unit 200 to use the new allocation frame for each sales site to the reallocation frame calculation unit 210. Is recalculated.

さらに、再割当適用制御部204は、再割当枠算出部210が再計算して再割当枠格納部208に格納した販売拠点別再割当枠の中に負の値(すなわち、適正な出荷枠よりも現在の在庫数が多い)が存在する場合、販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206に格納されているそれぞれの販売拠点13の稼働時間を参照して、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働時間が終了するまで再割当枠格納部208に格納されている販売拠点別再割当枠を出荷枠格納部214に格納されている販売拠点別出荷枠に適用せずに待つ。そして、再割当適用制御部204は、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働時間が終了した後に、再割当枠格納部208に格納されている販売拠点別再割当枠を出荷枠格納部214内の対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に適用する。   Further, the reassignment application control unit 204 re-calculates the reassignment frame calculation unit 210 and stores it in the reassignment frame storage unit 208 according to a negative value (that is, from an appropriate shipping frame). If the current inventory quantity is large), the operation time of each sales base 13 stored in the operation time storage unit 206 for each sales base is referred to, and a negative value is assigned to the sales base by sales base. Until the operating time of the corresponding sales base 13 ends, the sales base reassignment frame stored in the reassignment frame storage unit 208 is not applied to the sales base-specific shipping frame stored in the shipping frame storage unit 214. wait. Then, the reassignment application control unit 204 reallocates the sales bases stored in the reassignment frame storage unit 208 after the operation time of the sales bases 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reassignment frames ends. The frame is applied to the shipping frame for each sales base of the corresponding sales base 13 in the shipping frame storage unit 214.

この場合、再割当適用制御部204は、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働時間終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠と、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の、当該ある時点における販売拠点別出荷枠とが等しいか否かを判定する。負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠が、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の、当該ある時点における販売拠点別出荷枠と等しい場合、再割当適用制御部204は、再割当枠算出部210が算出した販売拠点別再割当枠を、対応する販売拠点の販売拠点別出荷枠に適用する。   In this case, the reassignment application control unit 204 redistributes the sales frame for each sales base after the operation time of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative value sales base reassignment frame and the negative value for each sales base. It is determined whether or not the sales base 13 corresponding to the frame is equal to the sales base-specific shipping frame at a certain point in time. At a certain point in time, when the sales base 13 corresponding to the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reassignment frame ends, the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reallocation quota corresponds to the negative sales base 13 If it is equal to the shipping quota for each sales base, the reallocation application control unit 204 applies the reallocation quota for each sales base calculated by the reallocation quota calculation unit 210 to the shipping quota for each sales base of the corresponding sales base.

一方、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠が、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の、当該ある時点における販売拠点別出荷枠よりも少なく、かつ負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別適正出荷枠よりも多い場合には、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠から、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別適正出荷枠を差し引いた値を、販売拠点毎に算出された販売拠点別再割当枠に応じた比率で、他の販売拠点の販売拠点別出荷枠に配分する。   On the other hand, the shipment base by sales base after the operation of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative value sales base reassignment frame corresponds to the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reallocation frame. If there is less than the shipping quota per sales base at the time, and there is more than the appropriate shipping quota per sales base of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative reassignment quota per sales base, then the negative sales base The value obtained by subtracting the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative relocation quota for each sales base from the shipping quota for each sales base after the end of the operation of the sales base 13 corresponding to the reallocation quota. Allocate to the sales quotas by sales base of other sales bases at a ratio corresponding to the reallocation quota by sales base calculated for each sales base.

図3は、出荷枠格納部214に格納されるデータ構造の一例を示す。出荷枠格納部214は、製品の名称やモデル番号等である製品名2142、製品名2142に対応する製品の出荷日2144、および出荷日2144において出荷可能な製品数である出荷可能数2146を、それぞれの販売拠点13を識別する販売拠点ID2140に対応付けて格納する。なお、出荷日2144は、GMT(Greenwich Mean Time)で設定される。   FIG. 3 shows an example of a data structure stored in the shipping frame storage unit 214. The shipping frame storage unit 214 stores the product name 2142 such as the product name and model number, the shipping date 2144 of the product corresponding to the product name 2142, and the possible shipment number 2146 that is the number of products that can be shipped on the shipping date 2144. Each sales base 13 is stored in association with a sales base ID 2140 for identifying each sales base 13. The shipping date 2144 is set by GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

出荷日2144は、現時点および現時点以降の日付を格納する。本例では、出荷日が1日単位で設定されている。出荷可能数2146は、現時点で出荷可能な製品数および出荷日2144に設定された未来の日付において出荷可能となるべき計画数を格納する。なお、出荷枠格納部214は、例えば、本日が2004/9/8であり、本日の出荷可能数が100台である図3に示す場合において、対応する製品が本日、1台も出荷されなかった場合、2004/9/9の0:00に現在の出荷可能数を100+50=150台と算出し、出荷日が現在に対応する出荷可能数を150で更新すると共に、出荷日が2004/9/9に対応するレコードを削除する。   The shipping date 2144 stores the current date and the date after the current time. In this example, the shipping date is set in units of one day. The shippable number 2146 stores the number of products that can be shipped at the present time and the planned number that can be shipped on a future date set in the shipping date 2144. For example, in the case of FIG. 3 in which the shipment limit storage unit 214 is today of 2004/9/8 and the number of deliverables of today is 100, no corresponding product is shipped today. In this case, the current shipping available number is calculated as 100 + 50 = 150 at 0:00 on 2004/9/9, the shipping date corresponding to the current shipping date is updated with 150, and the shipping date is 2004/9. The record corresponding to / 9 is deleted.

出荷枠格納部214を参照することにより、適正出荷枠算出部212および出荷枠同期部216は、それぞれの販売拠点13の現在の出荷枠および未来の計画された出荷枠を取得することができる。   By referring to the shipping frame storage unit 214, the proper shipping frame calculation unit 212 and the shipping frame synchronization unit 216 can acquire the current shipping frame and the future planned shipping frame of the respective sales bases 13.

図4は、再割当枠格納部208に格納されるデータ構造の一例を示す。再割当枠格納部208は、販売拠点ID2080、出荷日2084、各販売拠点13への製品の出荷枠の調整量である販売拠点別再割当枠を示す再割当数2086、および再割当数2086に設定された値を算出した時刻をGMTで設定する配分時刻2088を、販売拠点ID2080に対応付けて格納する。   FIG. 4 shows an example of the data structure stored in the reallocation frame storage unit 208. The reassignment frame storage unit 208 includes a sales base ID 2080, a shipping date 2084, a reassignment number 2086 indicating a reassignment frame for each sales base, which is an adjustment amount of a product delivery frame to each sales base 13, and a reassignment number 2086. The distribution time 2088 at which the time when the set value is calculated is set in GMT is stored in association with the sales base ID 2080.

再割当枠格納部208を参照することにより、新規割当枠算出部200は、再割当枠格納部208から読み出した販売拠点別再割当枠および各製造拠点11の在庫管理装置12から取得した新規製造数に基づいて、販売拠点別新規割当枠を販売拠点13毎および出荷日毎に算出することができる。なお、新規割当枠算出部200は、各製造拠点11の在庫管理装置12から取得した新規製造数の総数を、再割当数が最も多い(現在の出荷枠が適正な出荷枠よりも少なく、かつ現在の出荷枠と適正な出荷枠との差が他の販売拠点13に比べて最も大きい)販売拠点13に優先的に割り当てる。新規製造分を再割当数が最も多い販売拠点13に再割当数分だけ割り当てても、新規製造分が余る場合、新規割当枠算出部200は、次に再割当数が多い販売拠点13に余った新規製造分を割り当てる。新規製造分が0になった時点で新規割当枠算出部200は、新規製造分の配分を終了する。また、全ての販売拠点13に配分してもなお新規製造分が残る場合は、残った新規製造分を各販売拠点13の再割当数に比例して配分する。   By referring to the reassignment frame storage unit 208, the new allocation frame calculation unit 200 performs the new production acquired from the reassignment frame for each sales base read from the reallocation frame storage unit 208 and the inventory management device 12 of each manufacturing base 11. Based on the number, a new allocation frame for each sales base can be calculated for each sales base 13 and each shipping date. The new allocation quota calculation unit 200 sets the total number of new productions acquired from the inventory management device 12 of each manufacturing base 11 to the largest number of reallocations (the current shipping quota is less than the appropriate shipping quota, and The difference between the current shipping allowance and the appropriate shipping allowance is the largest compared to the other sales bases 13). Even if new production is allocated to the sales base 13 having the largest number of reassignments, if there is a remaining amount of new production, the new allocation quota calculation unit 200 is left in the sales base 13 with the next largest number of reassignments. Allocate new production. When the new manufacturing amount becomes 0, the new allocation frame calculation unit 200 ends the allocation of the new manufacturing amount. In addition, if new production remains even after distribution to all sales bases 13, the remaining new production is distributed in proportion to the number of reallocations of each sales base 13.

図5は、新規割当枠格納部202に格納されるデータ構造の一例を示す。新規割当枠格納部202は、製品名2022、出荷日2024、各販売拠点13への新規製造分の配分数を示す新規割当数2026、および新規割当数2026に設定された値を算出したGMTの時刻である配分時刻2028を、販売拠点ID2020に対応付けて格納する。   FIG. 5 shows an example of a data structure stored in the new allocation frame storage unit 202. The new allocation frame storage unit 202 has a product name 2022, a shipping date 2024, a new allocation number 2026 indicating the number of new productions allocated to each sales base 13, and a value of the GMT for which the values set for the new allocation number 2026 are calculated. The distribution time 2028 that is the time is stored in association with the sales base ID 2020.

新規割当枠格納部202を参照することにより、再割当適用制御部204は、新たに配分された製品の新規製造分を、出荷枠格納部214の対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に加えることができる。また、新規割当枠格納部202を参照することにより、再割当枠算出部210は、各販売拠点13に配分された製品の新規製造分を含めた各販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に基づいて、販売拠点別再割当枠を算出することができる。   By referring to the new allocation frame storage unit 202, the reallocation application control unit 204 uses the newly allocated products newly manufactured as the shipping frame for each sales base of the corresponding sales base 13 in the shipping frame storage unit 214. Can be added. Further, by referring to the new allocation frame storage unit 202, the reallocation frame calculation unit 210 is based on the shipping frame by sales base of each sales base 13 including the new production amount of the product allocated to each sales base 13. Thus, it is possible to calculate a reallocation frame by sales base.

図6は、販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206に格納されるデータ構造の一例を示す。販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206は、日付2062、変更容易性2064、対応する販売拠点13が日付2062に示された日に稼動しているか否かを示す稼動フラグ2066、GMTからの時間差を示す時差2068、日付2062に示された日に対応する販売拠点13の稼動開始時刻2070、および日付2062に示された日に対応する販売拠点13の稼動終了時刻2072を、販売拠点ID2060に対応付けて格納する。   FIG. 6 shows an example of the data structure stored in the sales base-specific operation time storage unit 206. The sales base operation time storage unit 206 indicates a date 2062, changeability 2064, an operation flag 2066 indicating whether or not the corresponding sales base 13 is operating on the date indicated by the date 2062, and a time difference from GMT. The time difference 2068, the operation start time 2070 of the sales base 13 corresponding to the date indicated by the date 2062, and the operation end time 2072 of the sales base 13 corresponding to the date indicated by the date 2062 are associated with the sales base ID 2060. Store.

販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206を参照することにより、再割当適用制御部204は、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13が、現在、稼動しているか否かを判定することができる。さらに、再割当適用制御部204は、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13が、現在、稼動している場合、販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206を参照して、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼動が終了した後に、再割当枠格納部208に格納されている販売拠点別再割当枠を出荷枠格納部214内の対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に適用することができる。   By referring to the sales base operation time storage unit 206, the reallocation application control unit 204 determines whether or not the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reallocation frame is currently operating. can do. Further, the reassignment application control unit 204 refers to the sales base operation time storage unit 206 when the sales base 13 corresponding to the sales base reassignment frame with a negative value is currently operating. After the operation of the sales base 13 corresponding to the sales base reassignment frame of the value of is completed, the sales base reassignment frame stored in the reassignment storage unit 208 is changed to the corresponding sales in the shipping frame storage unit 214. The present invention can be applied to the shipping frame for each sales base of the base 13.

図7は、受注管理装置14の詳細な機能構成の一例を示すブロック図である。受注管理装置14は、受注処理部140、出荷枠更新処理部142、および販売拠点出荷枠格納部144を備える。販売拠点出荷枠格納部144は、出荷枠管理装置20が割り当てた現在および計画された未来の出荷枠である販売拠点別出荷枠および受注管理装置14が販売した製品の販売実績を格納する。   FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a detailed functional configuration of the order management device 14. The order management device 14 includes an order processing unit 140, a shipping frame update processing unit 142, and a sales base shipping frame storage unit 144. The sales base shipping frame storage unit 144 stores the sales frame for each sales base, which is the current and planned future shipping frame allocated by the shipping frame management device 20, and the sales results of the products sold by the order management device 14.

受注処理部140は、予め出荷枠管理装置20によって販売拠点13毎に割り当てられた販売拠点出荷枠を格納しており、通信回線18を介して顧客端末17から製品の引合いまたは見積依頼を受け付けた場合に、対象の製品の仕様および価格を顧客に提示する。そして、受注処理部140は、顧客端末17から仕様および価格への合意を取り付けた場合に、販売拠点出荷枠格納部144に格納している販売拠点出荷枠を参照して、引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数を当該出荷枠から差し引くことにより出荷枠を変更すると共に、引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数の出荷可能日を顧客に提示する。   The order processing unit 140 stores the sales base shipping quota assigned to each sales base 13 by the shipping quota management apparatus 20 in advance, and accepts an inquiry for a product or a request for quotation from the customer terminal 17 via the communication line 18. If present, present the specifications and price of the target product to the customer. When the order processing unit 140 attaches an agreement to the specifications and price from the customer terminal 17, the order processing unit 140 refers to the sales base shipping frame stored in the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144 and makes an inquiry or a quotation request. The shipping frame is changed by subtracting the corresponding number of products from the shipping frame, and the shipment date of the number of products corresponding to the inquiry or the request for quotation is presented to the customer.

提示した出荷可能日に対する合意を顧客端末17から受け付けた場合、受注処理部140は、当該顧客端末17へ受注が確定した旨を通知する。一方、提示した出荷可能日に対する合意を顧客端末17から取り付けることができなかった場合、受注処理部140は、引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数を、変更した販売拠点出荷枠に加えることにより、変更した販売拠点出荷枠を元に戻す。   When the agreement for the presented shipping date is received from the customer terminal 17, the order receiving processing unit 140 notifies the customer terminal 17 that the order has been confirmed. On the other hand, when the agreement for the presented shipping date cannot be attached from the customer terminal 17, the order processing unit 140 adds the number of products corresponding to the inquiry or the request for quotation to the changed sales base shipping frame, Restore the changed sales base shipping quota.

出荷枠更新処理部142は、受注処理部140が顧客端末17へ受注が確定した旨を通知した場合に、更新された販売拠点出荷枠を販売拠点出荷枠格納部144から読み出し、読み出した販売拠点出荷枠を販売拠点識別情報と共に出荷枠管理装置20へ送信する。また、出荷枠更新処理部142は、出荷枠管理装置20の出荷枠格納部214内で再割り当てされた販売拠点別出荷枠を出荷枠同期部216を介して受信した場合に、販売拠点出荷枠格納部144に格納されている販売拠点出荷枠を、受信した販売拠点別出荷枠で更新する。   When the order processing unit 140 notifies the customer terminal 17 that the order has been confirmed, the shipping frame update processing unit 142 reads the updated sales base shipping frame from the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144 and reads the read sales base. The shipping frame is transmitted to the shipping frame management device 20 together with the sales base identification information. Further, when the shipping frame update processing unit 142 receives the shipping frame for each sales base reassigned in the shipping frame storage unit 214 of the shipping frame management device 20 via the shipping frame synchronization unit 216, the shipping frame shipping frame. The sales base shipping frame stored in the storage unit 144 is updated with the received shipping frame for each sales base.

図8は、受注管理装置14の動作の一例を示すフローチャートである。受注管理装置14は、顧客端末17からの引合いまたは見積依頼のアクセスを受けることにより、本フローチャートに示す受注管理装置14の動作が開始する。まず、受注処理部140は、引合いまたは見積依頼の対象製品の仕様および価格を顧客に提示することにより、顧客端末17から仕様および価格への合意を取り付ける。   FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the order management device 14. The order management device 14 starts the operation of the order management device 14 shown in this flowchart when receiving an inquiry or access to an estimate request from the customer terminal 17. First, the order processing unit 140 attaches an agreement on the specification and price from the customer terminal 17 by presenting the specification and price of the target product for the inquiry or the quotation request to the customer.

次に、受注処理部140は、販売拠点出荷枠格納部144に格納している現在の販売拠点出荷枠および計画されている未来の販売拠点出荷枠を参照して、引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数を、当該引合いまたは見積依頼に示された希望納期から配送等のリードタイムを差し引いた顧客出荷日までに出荷可能か否かを判定する(S102)。対応する製品数を顧客出荷日までに出荷することができない場合(S102:No)、受注処理部140は、引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数を出荷できない旨を、通信回線18を介して顧客端末17に通知し(S110)、本フローチャートに示す受注管理装置14の動作は終了する。   Next, the order processing unit 140 refers to the current sales base shipping frame stored in the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144 and the planned future sales base shipping frame, and responds to the inquiry or the quotation request. It is determined whether the number of products can be shipped by the customer shipping date obtained by subtracting the lead time such as delivery from the desired delivery date indicated in the inquiry or the quotation request (S102). If the corresponding number of products cannot be shipped by the customer shipping date (S102: No), the order processing unit 140 informs the customer that the number of products corresponding to the inquiry or the request for quotation cannot be shipped via the communication line 18. The terminal 17 is notified (S110), and the operation of the order management apparatus 14 shown in this flowchart is terminated.

対応する製品数を顧客出荷日までに出荷可能である場合(S102:Yes)、受注処理部140は、当該引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数を販売拠点出荷枠格納部144内の販売拠点出荷枠から差し引くことにより出荷枠を変更する(S104)。そして、受注処理部140は、顧客端末17に当該引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品の出荷予定日および出荷数を回答する(S106)。   When the corresponding number of products can be shipped by the customer shipping date (S102: Yes), the order receiving processing unit 140 supplies the number of products corresponding to the inquiry or the request for quotation to the sales base in the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144. The shipping frame is changed by subtracting from the frame (S104). Then, the order receiving processing unit 140 replies to the customer terminal 17 with the planned shipment date and the number of shipments of the product corresponding to the inquiry or the request for quotation (S106).

次に、受注処理部140は、顧客端末17から注文の合意を受信したか否かを判定する(S108)。顧客端末17から注文の確定を受信した場合(S108:Yes)、受注処理部140は、顧客端末17へ受注が確定した旨を通知する。そして、出荷枠更新処理部142は、今回の注文によって変更した販売拠点出荷枠格納部144内の販売拠点出荷枠を、通信回線18を介して出荷枠管理装置20に登録し(S110)、本フローチャートに示す受注管理装置14の動作は終了する。   Next, the order processing unit 140 determines whether an order agreement has been received from the customer terminal 17 (S108). When the confirmation of the order is received from the customer terminal 17 (S108: Yes), the order receiving processing unit 140 notifies the customer terminal 17 that the order has been confirmed. Then, the shipping frame update processing unit 142 registers the sales base shipping frame in the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144 changed by the current order in the shipping frame management apparatus 20 via the communication line 18 (S110). The operation of the order management device 14 shown in the flowchart ends.

ステップ108において、顧客端末17から注文の確定を受信しなかった場合、すなわち当該注文のキャンセル等を受信した場合(S108:No)、受注処理部140は、今回の引合いまたは見積依頼に対応する製品数を、変更した販売拠点出荷枠格納部144内の販売拠点出荷枠に加えることによって、販売拠点出荷枠格納部144内の販売拠点出荷枠を元に戻し(S112)、本フローチャートに示す受注管理装置14の動作は終了する。   In step 108, when the confirmation of the order is not received from the customer terminal 17, that is, when the cancellation or the like of the order is received (S 108: No), the order processing unit 140 is the product corresponding to the current inquiry or the request for quotation. By adding the number to the sales base shipping frame in the changed sales base shipping frame storage unit 144, the sales base shipping frame in the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144 is restored (S112), and the order management shown in this flowchart is performed. The operation of the device 14 ends.

なお、各販売拠点13の受注管理装置14は、変更された販売拠点別出荷枠の通知を出荷枠同期部216から受信した場合、現在格納している販売拠点出荷枠を、出荷枠同期部216から受け取った販売拠点別出荷枠で更新する。   When the order management device 14 of each sales base 13 receives the notification of the changed shipping frame by sales base from the shipping frame synchronization unit 216, the sales frame shipping frame currently stored is stored in the shipping frame synchronization unit 216. Update with the shipping quota by sales base received from.

図9は、出荷枠管理装置20の動作の一例を示すフローチャートである。出荷枠管理装置20は本フローチャートに示す動作を予め定められた時間間隔で定期的に行っている。そのため、予め定められた所定のタイミングになった場合に、本フローチャートに示す出荷枠管理装置20の動作が開始する。まず、適正出荷枠算出部212が、出荷枠格納部214を参照して、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける各販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠を出荷枠格納部214から取得し、新規割当枠算出部200が、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける新規製造数を、各製造拠点11の在庫管理装置12から取得する(S200)。   FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the shipping allowance management apparatus 20. The shipping frame management device 20 periodically performs the operations shown in this flowchart at predetermined time intervals. Therefore, the operation of the shipping frame management device 20 shown in this flowchart starts when the predetermined timing is reached. First, the proper shipping allowance calculation unit 212 refers to the shipping allowance storage unit 214, acquires the shipping allowance for each sales base 13 at the start timing of the flowchart from the shipping allowance storage unit 214, and calculates a new allocation allowance. The unit 200 acquires the number of new manufactures at the start timing of the flowchart from the inventory management device 12 of each manufacturing base 11 (S200).

次に、適正出荷枠算出部212は、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点13毎の製品の販売予測数を販売予測装置16から取得する(S202)。そして、適正出荷枠算出部212は、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売予測数および販売拠点別出荷枠に基づいて、販売拠点別適正出荷枠を販売拠点13毎に算出する(S204)。   Next, the proper shipping allowance calculation unit 212 acquires the sales forecast number of the product for each sales base 13 at the start timing of the flowchart from the sales forecasting device 16 (S202). Then, the appropriate shipping allowance calculation unit 212 calculates the appropriate shipping allowance for each sales base 13 for each sales base 13 based on the predicted sales number and the shipping quota for each sales base at the start timing of the flowchart (S204).

次に、再割当枠算出部210は、適正出荷枠算出部212が算出した販売拠点別適正出荷枠から、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠を差し引いた値を、販売拠点別再割当枠として販売拠点13毎に算出し、算出した販売拠点別再割当枠を再割当枠格納部208に格納させる。そして、新規割当枠算出部200は、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける新規製造数および再割当枠算出部210が算出して再割当枠格納部208に格納させた販売拠点別再割当枠に基づいて、販売拠点13毎に販売拠点別新規割当枠を算出し、算出した販売拠点別新規割当枠を新規割当枠格納部202に格納させる。   Next, the reassignment frame calculation unit 210 reassigns the value obtained by subtracting the sales frame for each sales base at the start timing of the flowchart from the proper shipping frame for each sales base calculated by the proper shipping frame calculation unit 212. A frame is calculated for each sales base 13 and the calculated reallocation frame for each sales base is stored in the reassignment frame storage unit 208. Then, the new allocation frame calculation unit 200 is based on the number of new productions at the start timing of the flowchart and the reassignment frame by sales base calculated by the reallocation frame calculation unit 210 and stored in the reallocation frame storage unit 208. A new allocation frame for each sales site is calculated for each sales site 13 and the calculated new allocation frame for each sales site is stored in the new allocation frame storage unit 202.

そして、再割当適用制御部204は、新規割当枠算出部200によって新規割当枠格納部202に格納された販売拠点別新規割当枠を、出荷枠格納部214に格納された、対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に加算することにより、出荷枠格納部214に格納された販売拠点別出荷枠を更新すると共に、再割当枠算出部210に販売拠点別再割当枠の再計算を指示する(S206)。ステップ206において、出荷枠格納部214に格納された販売拠点別出荷枠が更新されると、出荷枠同期部216は、対応する販売拠点13へ更新された販売拠点別出荷枠を送信する。   Then, the reallocation application control unit 204 uses the new allocation frame calculation unit 200 to store the new allocation frame for each sales site stored in the new allocation frame storage unit 202 and the corresponding sales site 13 stored in the shipping frame storage unit 214. Is added to the shipping quota for each sales base, thereby updating the shipping quota for each sales base stored in the shipping quota storage unit 214 and instructing the reallocation quota calculation unit 210 to recalculate the reallocation quota for each sales base. (S206). In step 206, when the shipping frame for each sales base stored in the shipping frame storage unit 214 is updated, the shipping frame synchronization unit 216 transmits the updated shipping frame for each sales base to the corresponding sales base 13.

次に、再割当枠算出部210は、適正出荷枠算出部212が算出した販売拠点別適正出荷枠に新規割当枠格納部202に格納された販売拠点別新規割当枠を加えた値から、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠を差し引くことにより、販売拠点別再割当枠を再計算し、再計算した販売拠点別再割当枠を再び再割当枠格納部208に格納させる(S210)。   Next, the reassignment frame calculation unit 210 adds the new allocation frame for each sales site stored in the new allocation frame storage unit 202 to the appropriate shipping frame for each sales site calculated by the appropriate shipping frame calculation unit 212. By subtracting the distribution frame for each sales base at the start timing of the flowchart, the reallocation frame for each sales base is recalculated, and the recalculated relocation frame for each sales base is stored in the reassignment frame storage unit 208 again (S210).

次に、再割当適用制御部204は、再割当枠格納部208および販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206を参照して、販売拠点別再割当枠が負の値の販売拠点13が稼動中であるか否かを判定する(S212)。販売拠点別再割当枠が負の値の販売拠点13が稼動中である場合(S212:Yes)、当該販売拠点13の稼動終了時刻となるまでステップ212を繰り返す。   Next, the reassignment application control unit 204 refers to the reassignment frame storage unit 208 and the sales base operation time storage unit 206, and the sales base 13 whose sales base reassignment frame has a negative value is in operation. It is determined whether or not (S212). If the sales base 13 having a negative value for the reallocation by sales base is in operation (S212: Yes), step 212 is repeated until the operation end time of the sales base 13 is reached.

販売拠点別再割当枠が負の値の販売拠点13が稼動中でない場合(S212:No)、出荷枠格納部214に格納されている、拠点別再割当枠が負の値の販売拠点13に対応する販売拠点別出荷枠を当該負の値の絶対値に対応する製品数だけ削減し、削減した製品数分を他の販売拠点に配分し(S214)、本フローチャートに示す出荷枠管理装置20の動作は終了する。ステップ214において、再割当適用制御部204は、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働時間終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠と、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠とが等しいか否かを判定する。   When the sales base 13 with the negative value of the reallocation quota by sales base is not in operation (S212: No), the sales base 13 with the negative reallocation quota by base stored in the shipping quota storage unit 214 is stored. The corresponding shipping quota for each sales base is reduced by the number of products corresponding to the absolute value of the negative value, and the reduced number of products is distributed to other sales bases (S214), and the shipping quota management apparatus 20 shown in this flowchart. The operation of is terminated. In step 214, the reallocation application control unit 204 determines the sales quota for each sales base after the operation time of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative value reallocation quota for each sales base and the negative value for each sales base. It is determined whether or not the sales base 13 corresponding to the allocation frame is equal to the sales base-specific shipping frame at the start timing of the flowchart.

負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠が、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠と等しい場合、再割当適用制御部204は、再割当枠算出部210が算出した販売拠点別再割当枠を、対応する販売拠点の販売拠点別出荷枠に適用する。   In the flowchart, the shipping base by sales base corresponding to the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reassignment frame is the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reassignment slot. When it is equal to the shipping quota for each sales base at the start timing, the reallocation application control unit 204 applies the reallocation quota for each sales base calculated by the reallocation quota calculation unit 210 to the shipping quota for each sales base of the corresponding sales base. .

一方、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠が、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠よりも少なく、かつ負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別適正出荷枠よりも多い場合には、再割当適用制御部204は、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠から、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別適正出荷枠を差し引いた値を、販売拠点13毎に算出された販売拠点別再割当枠に基づいて、他の販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に配分する。この場合、再割当適用制御部204は、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠から、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別適正出荷枠を差し引いた値を、例えば、販売拠点13毎に算出された販売拠点別再割当枠に応じた比率で、他の販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に配分する。この他に、再割当適用制御部204は、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の稼働終了後の販売拠点別出荷枠から、当該負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠に対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別適正出荷枠を差し引いた値を、販売拠点毎に算出された販売拠点別再割当枠が最も大きい販売拠点13に優先的に配分してもよい。   On the other hand, the flowchart of the sales base 13 corresponding to the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reassignment frame after the operation end of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reallocation base is completed. The reassignment application control unit 204 is less than the shipping quota for each sales base at the start timing and more than the proper shipping quota for each sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reallocation quota. The sales of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative allocation base of the sales base after the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reallocation quota corresponding to the negative sales base 13 A value obtained by subtracting the appropriate shipping frame for each base is distributed to the shipping base for each sales base 13 based on the reassignment base for each sales base calculated for each sales base 13. In this case, the reassignment application control unit 204 reassigns the negative value for each sales base from the shipping base for each sales base after the operation of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative value for each sales base. The sales base of the other sales bases 13 is obtained by subtracting the appropriate shipping quota for each sales base of the sales base 13 corresponding to the frame, for example, at a ratio corresponding to the reallocation quota for each sales base calculated for each sales base 13. Allocate to separate shipping allowances. In addition, the reassignment application control unit 204 reassigns the negative value by sales base from the sales base shipping quota after the operation of the sales base 13 corresponding to the negative sales base reallocation quota. The value obtained by subtracting the appropriate shipping frame for each sales base of the sales base 13 corresponding to the allocation frame may be preferentially allocated to the sales base 13 having the largest sales base reassignment frame calculated for each sales base.

なお、本フローチャートに示した出荷枠管理装置20の処理は、いずれかの受注管理装置14と顧客端末17との間で注文が確定する都度行われてもよく、1時間毎に行われてもよく、1日1回行われてもよい。また、前回の本フローチャートの動作で、負の値の販売拠点別再割当枠が算出され、負の値の販売拠点13の稼働時間の終了を待っている間に、今回の本フローチャートの処理が開始した場合、前回算出された販売拠点別再割当枠は破棄され、新たに販売拠点別再割当枠が算出し直される。   The processing of the shipping allowance management apparatus 20 shown in this flowchart may be performed every time an order is confirmed between any order management apparatus 14 and the customer terminal 17, or may be performed every hour. It may be performed once a day. Also, in the previous operation of this flowchart, the negative value sales base reassignment frame is calculated, and while waiting for the end of the operation time of the negative value sales base 13, the processing of this flowchart is performed. In the case of starting, the sales base reassignment frame calculated last time is discarded, and a new sales base reassignment frame is newly calculated.

また、本例において、出荷枠管理装置20は、フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠に基づいて、販売拠点別再割当枠を算出しているが、他の例として、出荷枠管理装置20は、フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点13毎の製品の販売予測数に加えて、フローチャートの起動タイミングから、本フローチャートにおけるステップ210の処理が終了するまでの間にかく販売拠点13において時間に販売される受注が確定すると予想される製品数である処理期間受注予測数を取得してもよい。この場合、適正出荷枠算出部212は、ステップ204において、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠から当該処理期間受注予測数を差し引いた値と、フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売予測数とに基づいて、販売拠点別適正出荷枠を販売拠点13毎に算出する。   Further, in this example, the shipping allowance management device 20 calculates the reassignment frame for each sales base based on the shipping quota for each sales base at the start timing of the flowchart, but as another example, the shipping quota management apparatus 20 Is sold in time at the sales base 13 between the start timing of the flowchart and the end of the processing of step 210 in this flowchart, in addition to the predicted number of products sold at each sales base 13 at the start timing of the flowchart. It is also possible to acquire the predicted number of orders received during the processing period, which is the number of products expected to be confirmed. In this case, in step 204, the appropriate shipping allowance calculation unit 212 is based on the value obtained by subtracting the predicted number of orders received for the processing period from the shipping allowance for each sales base at the start timing of the flowchart, and the predicted sales number at the start timing of the flowchart. Thus, an appropriate shipping frame for each sales base is calculated for each sales base 13.

これにより、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠が、当該処理期間受注予測数分だけ少なくなるので、ステップ204において算出される販売拠点別適正出荷枠が、当該フローチャートの起動タイミングにおける販売拠点別出荷枠よりも少なくなる可能性を低くすることができる。そのため、ステップ210において算出される販売拠点別再割当枠が負の値になる可能性が低くなり、ステップ212において、販売拠点別再割当枠が負の販売拠点13の稼動時間が終了するまで待つ可能性が低くなり、本フローチャートに示す出荷枠管理装置20の処理を迅速に終了させることができる可能性を高めることができる。   As a result, the shipping quota for each sales base at the start timing of the flowchart is reduced by the estimated number of orders received during the processing period, so the proper shipping quota for each sales base calculated in step 204 is the sales base at the startup timing of the flowchart. It is possible to reduce the possibility of being less than the separate shipping frame. For this reason, the possibility that the sales base reassignment frame calculated in step 210 becomes a negative value is low, and in step 212, wait until the operation time of the sales base 13 in which the sales base reassignment frame is negative ends. The possibility becomes low, and the possibility that the process of the shipping allowance management apparatus 20 shown in this flowchart can be finished quickly can be increased.

図10は、出荷枠管理装置20のハードウェア構成の一例を示す。出荷枠管理装置20は、CPU250、RAM252、ROM254、通信インターフェイス256、メディアインターフェイス258、および記憶媒体260を備える。CPU250は、RAM252およびROM254に格納されたプログラムに基づいて動作し、各部の制御を行う。ROM254は、出荷枠管理装置20の起動時にCPU250が実行するブートプログラムや、出荷枠管理装置20のハードウェアに依存するプログラム等を格納する。RAM252は、CPU250が実行するプログラムおよびCPU250が使用するデータ等を格納する。通信インターフェイス256は、複数の在庫管理装置12および受注管理装置14との間で、通信回線18を介して通信データを送受信する。メディアインターフェイス258は、記憶媒体260からプログラムまたはデータを読み取り、RAM252に提供する。   FIG. 10 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the shipping allowance management apparatus 20. The shipping frame management device 20 includes a CPU 250, a RAM 252, a ROM 254, a communication interface 256, a media interface 258, and a storage medium 260. The CPU 250 operates based on programs stored in the RAM 252 and the ROM 254, and controls each unit. The ROM 254 stores a boot program executed by the CPU 250 when the shipping allowance management apparatus 20 is activated, a program depending on the hardware of the shipping allowance management apparatus 20, and the like. The RAM 252 stores programs executed by the CPU 250, data used by the CPU 250, and the like. The communication interface 256 transmits / receives communication data to / from the inventory management device 12 and the order management device 14 via the communication line 18. The media interface 258 reads a program or data from the storage medium 260 and provides it to the RAM 252.

RAM252を介してCPU250に提供されるプログラムは、記憶媒体260に格納されてユーザから提供される。当該プログラムは、記憶媒体260から読み出され、メディアインターフェイス258を介して出荷枠管理装置20にインストールされ、出荷枠管理装置20において実行される。出荷枠管理装置20にインストールされて実行されるプログラムは、出荷枠管理装置20を、新規割当枠算出部200、新規割当枠格納部202、再割当適用制御部204、販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206、再割当枠格納部208、再割当枠算出部210、適正出荷枠算出部212、出荷枠格納部214、および出荷枠同期部216としてそれぞれ機能させる。   A program provided to the CPU 250 via the RAM 252 is stored in the storage medium 260 and provided from the user. The program is read from the storage medium 260, installed in the shipping frame management apparatus 20 via the media interface 258, and executed in the shipping frame management apparatus 20. The program installed and executed in the shipping quota management apparatus 20 includes the shipping quota management apparatus 20, a new allocation quota calculation unit 200, a new allocation quota storage unit 202, a reassignment application control unit 204, and an operating time storage unit for each sales base. 206, a reallocation frame storage unit 208, a reallocation frame calculation unit 210, a proper shipping frame calculation unit 212, a shipping frame storage unit 214, and a shipping frame synchronization unit 216.

記憶媒体260は、例えば、DVD、PD等の光学記録媒体、MD等の光磁気記録媒体、テープ媒体、磁気記録媒体、または半導体記録装置等であってよい。出荷枠管理装置20は、これらのプログラムを、記憶媒体260から読み取って実行する。また、出荷枠管理装置20は、例えばインターネット網等の通信回線を介して、これらのプログラムを取得してもよい。   The storage medium 260 may be, for example, an optical recording medium such as a DVD or PD, a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MD, a tape medium, a magnetic recording medium, or a semiconductor recording device. The shipping frame management apparatus 20 reads these programs from the storage medium 260 and executes them. Further, the shipping allowance management apparatus 20 may acquire these programs via a communication line such as the Internet network.

以上、本発明の第1の実施の形態について説明した。上記説明から明らかなように、本発明の出荷枠管理装置20によれば、グローバルサプライチェーンにおいて、各販売拠点13の出荷枠の再割当を適切に行うことができる。   The first embodiment of the present invention has been described above. As is clear from the above description, according to the shipping quota management apparatus 20 of the present invention, it is possible to appropriately reallocate the shipping quota of each sales base 13 in the global supply chain.

ここで、グローバルサプライチェーンにおいて、再割当の計算を行っている間に新たに別の注文が入り、再割当の計算を開始した時点と再割当の計算結果を適用しようとした時点とで、再割当の基となった出荷枠残数が変化することにより、再割当を適切に実行することができないという問題を回避するために、全ての販売拠点13の受注活動を所定時間、一斉に停止し、停止した時点での各販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に基づいて、出荷枠の再割当の計算を行い、当該再割当の計算結果を各販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠に適用した後に、各販売拠点13の営業活動を再開することも可能である。しかし、このような方法では、再割当の計算を行っている間、受注活動を行うことができないので、製品販売の機会を失うことになり、営業活動上好ましくない。   Here, in the global supply chain, while another re-order is being calculated, another order comes in and the re-allocation calculation starts and the re-allocation calculation results are applied. In order to avoid the problem that the reallocation cannot be performed properly due to the change in the remaining number of shipping slots that is the basis of the allocation, the order receiving activities of all the sales bases 13 are simultaneously stopped for a predetermined time. , Based on the shipping quota of each sales base 13 at the time of suspension, the calculation of the reallocation of the shipping quota was performed, and the calculation result of the reallocation was applied to the shipping quota of each sales base 13 Later, the sales activities of each sales base 13 can be resumed. However, such a method is not preferable in terms of business activities because the order receiving activity cannot be performed while the reassignment is being calculated, and the opportunity for product sales is lost.

これに対して、本発明では、ある時点で算出された販売拠点別再割当枠が負の値となった販売拠点13の稼動時間の終了を待ち、当該販売拠点13の稼動終了後の出荷枠と当該販売拠点13の適正出荷枠とに基づいて、算出した再割当枠を適用するので、いずれかの販売拠点13が稼動している場合であっても、その稼動している販売拠点13の受注活動を妨げることなく、各販売拠点13の出荷枠の再割当を実施することができる。   On the other hand, in the present invention, after the end of the operation time of the sales base 13 in which the sales base reassignment frame calculated at a certain point becomes a negative value, the shipping limit after the end of the operation of the sales base 13 is waited for. Since the calculated reallocation frame is applied based on the appropriate shipping quota of the sales base 13, even if any of the sales bases 13 is operating, the sales base 13 of the operating sales base 13 is operating. It is possible to reallocate the shipping frame of each sales base 13 without hindering the order receiving activity.

なお、本発明は上記の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その要旨の範囲内で数々の変形が可能である。以下に本発明の第2の実施形態について説明する。   In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, Many deformation | transformation are possible within the range of the summary. The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

図11は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る受注管理装置14の詳細な構成の一例を示すブロック図である。受注管理装置14は、受注処理部140、出荷枠更新処理部142、販売拠点出荷枠格納部144、出荷可否問い合わせ部146、不足数通知部148を備える。なお、以下に説明する点を除き、図11において、図7と同じ符号を付した構成は、図7における構成と同一または同様の機能を有するため説明を省略する。   FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an example of a detailed configuration of the order management apparatus 14 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The order management device 14 includes an order processing unit 140, a shipping frame update processing unit 142, a sales base shipping frame storage unit 144, a shipping availability inquiry unit 146, and a shortage number notification unit 148. Except for the points described below, in FIG. 11, the components denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 7 have the same or similar functions as those in FIG.

受注処理部140が、販売拠点出荷枠格納部144を参照して、顧客端末17からの引合いまたは見積依頼に基づく製品数を、当該引合いまたは見積依頼に基づく納期以内に出荷することができないと判定した場合、不足数通知部148は、当該引合いまたは見積依頼に基づく製品数から販売拠点出荷枠格納部144の販売拠点別出荷枠内で対応可能な製品数を差し引いた値である不足製品数を算出する。そして、不足数通知部148は、算出した不足製品数を出荷枠管理装置20および出荷可否問い合わせ部146へ送信すると共に、販売拠点出荷枠格納部144に格納された販売拠点別出荷枠から不足製品数分の製品数を差し引く。   The order processing unit 140 refers to the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144 and determines that the number of products based on the inquiry from the customer terminal 17 or the request for quotation cannot be shipped within the delivery date based on the inquiry or the request for quotation. In this case, the shortage number notifying unit 148 obtains the number of shortage products, which is a value obtained by subtracting the number of products that can be handled in the sales frame for each sales base in the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144 from the number of products based on the inquiry or request for quotation calculate. Then, the shortage number notifying unit 148 transmits the calculated shortage product number to the shipping frame management device 20 and the shipping availability inquiry unit 146, and from the shipping frame for each sales base stored in the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144, the shortage product. Subtract the number of products in a few minutes.

出荷可否問い合わせ部146は、不足数通知部148が出荷枠管理装置20へ送信した不足製品数に応答して、出荷枠管理装置20から出荷可能である旨を受信した場合、当該出荷可能である旨を顧客端末17に通知する。一方、出荷枠管理装置20から出荷不可能である旨を受信した場合に、出荷可否問い合わせ部146は、当該出荷不可能である旨を顧客端末17に通知すると共に、販売拠点出荷枠格納部144に格納されている販売拠点出荷枠に不足製品数を加えることにより、販売拠点別出荷枠を元に戻す。   In response to the number of insufficient products transmitted from the shortage number notifying unit 148 to the shipping quota management device 20, the shipping availability inquiry unit 146 can ship the product when it can be shipped from the shipping quota management device 20. This is notified to the customer terminal 17. On the other hand, when it is received from the shipping quota management device 20 that shipping is not possible, the shipping availability inquiry unit 146 notifies the customer terminal 17 that shipping is not possible, and the sales base shipping frame storage unit 144. By adding the number of shortage products to the sales base shipping quota stored in, the shipping quota by sales base is restored.

図12は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る出荷枠管理装置20の詳細な構成の一例を示すブロック図である。出荷枠管理装置20は、新規割当枠算出部200、新規割当枠格納部202、再割当適用制御部204、販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206、再割当枠格納部208、再割当枠算出部210、適正出荷枠算出部212、出荷枠格納部214、出荷枠同期部216、および出荷可否回答部220を備える。なお、以下に説明する点を除き、図12において、図2と同じ符号を付した構成は、図2における構成と同一または同様の機能を有するため説明を省略する。   FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a detailed configuration of the shipping allowance management apparatus 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The shipping quota management apparatus 20 includes a new quota quota calculation unit 200, a new quota quota storage unit 202, a reallocation application control unit 204, an operating time storage unit 206 for each sales base, a reallocation quota storage unit 208, and a reallocation quota calculation unit 210. A proper shipping frame calculation unit 212, a shipping frame storage unit 214, a shipping frame synchronization unit 216, and a shipping availability reply unit 220. Except for the points described below, in FIG. 12, the components denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 have the same or similar functions as those in FIG.

出荷可否回答部220は、受注管理装置14の不足数通知部148から不足製品数を受信した場合に、販売拠点別稼働時間格納部206および出荷枠格納部214を参照して、稼働時間外であって、かつ不足製品数よりも多い販売拠点別出荷枠を有する販売拠点13である対応可能販売拠点が存在するか否かを判定する。そして、対応可能販売拠点が存在する場合、出荷可否回答部220は、当該対応可能販売拠点に対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠から不足製品数を差し引いた値で当該販売拠点13の販売拠点別出荷枠を更新すると共に、引合いまたは見積依頼に基づく製品数が出荷可能である旨を、通信回線18を介して不足数通知部148へ返信する。一方、当該対応可能販売拠点が存在しない場合には、出荷可否回答部220は、引合いまたは見積依頼に基づく製品数が出荷不能である旨を、通信回線18を介して不足数通知部148へ返信する。出荷可否回答部220によって販売拠点別出荷枠が変更された場合、出荷枠同期部216は、変更された販売拠点別出荷枠を、対応する販売拠点13へ通知する。   When receiving the shortage product number from the shortage number notifying unit 148 of the order management device 14, the shipping propriety answering unit 220 refers to the operating time storage unit 206 for each sales base and the shipping frame storage unit 214, and is outside the operating time. In addition, it is determined whether or not there is an available sales base that is the sales base 13 having a shipping quota for each sales base that is larger than the number of shortage products. If there is a sales base that can be handled, the shipping availability answering unit 220 sells the sales base 13 by a value obtained by subtracting the number of shortage products from the shipping frame for each sales base of the sales base 13 corresponding to the compatible sales base. The site-specific shipping frame is updated, and a shortage number notifying unit 148 is returned via the communication line 18 that the number of products based on the inquiry or the request for quotation can be shipped. On the other hand, if the corresponding sales base does not exist, the shipping availability reply unit 220 replies to the shortage number notification unit 148 via the communication line 18 that the number of products based on the inquiry or the quotation request cannot be shipped. To do. When the shipping allowance for each sales base is changed by the shipping availability reply unit 220, the shipping frame synchronization unit 216 notifies the corresponding sales base 13 of the changed shipping limit for each sales base.

これにより、顧客端末17からの引合いまたは見積数分の製品分の販売拠点出荷枠が対応する販売拠点13にない場合であっても、他の販売拠点13の販売拠点出荷枠と合わせて当該引合いまたは見積に対応することができるので、より多くの製品を顧客に販売することができる。   As a result, even if the inquiry from the customer terminal 17 or the sales base shipping allowance for the estimated number of products does not exist in the corresponding sales base 13, the inquiries are made together with the sales base shipping limits of the other sales bases 13. Or it can respond to quotes, so more products can be sold to customers.

以上、本発明を実施の形態を用いて説明したが、本発明の技術的範囲は上記した実施の形態に記載の範囲には限定されない。また、上記した実施の形態に、多様な変更または改良を加えることが可能であることが当業者にとって明らかである。さらに、そのような変更または改良を加えた形態も本発明の技術的範囲に含まれ得ることが、特許請求の範囲の記載から明らかである。   As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in embodiment mentioned above. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be made to the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, it is apparent from the scope of the claims that the embodiments added with such changes or improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.

例えば、出荷枠管理装置20が有する複数の機能ブロックのそれぞれは、ASIC(Application Specific Integrated Circuit)、FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)等の集積ロジックICによりハード的に実現されるものでもよく、DSP(Digital Signal Processor)や汎用計算機によりソフトウェア的に実現されてもよく、あるいは、部分的にハードウェアまたはソフトウェアで実現させた機能ブロックを組み合わせてもよい。   For example, each of the plurality of functional blocks included in the shipping allowance management device 20 may be realized in hardware by an integrated logic IC such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA). A digital signal processor) or a general-purpose computer may be implemented in software, or functional blocks partially implemented in hardware or software may be combined.

また、本例では、出荷枠管理装置20がある時点における販売拠点13毎の販売予測および販売拠点別出荷枠に基づいて、販売拠点別出荷枠の販売拠点別再割当枠を算出すると共に、算出した販売拠点別再割当枠を、各販売拠点13の稼働時間に応じて販売拠点別出荷枠に適用したが、本発明はこれに限られない。他の例として、出荷枠管理装置20は、表示部および入力部を有し、ある時点における販売拠点13毎の販売予測および販売拠点別出荷枠を表示部に表示することにより、出荷枠管理装置20のユーザに入力部を介して販売拠点別の販売拠点別再割当枠を入力させることにより、出荷枠管理を支援する構成としてもよい。さらに、各販売拠点13の稼働時間を表示部に表示することにより、ユーザから入力された販売拠点別再割当枠を適用するタイミングを、ユーザに入力させてもよい。これにより、ユーザの嗜好に合ったタイミングで、対応する販売拠点13の販売拠点別再割当枠を変更することができる。   Further, in this example, based on the sales forecast for each sales base 13 at the time when the shipping quota management device 20 is present and the shipping quota for each sales base, the reallocation quota for each sales base is calculated and calculated. The sales base reassignment frame is applied to the sales base shipping frame according to the operating time of each sales base 13, but the present invention is not limited to this. As another example, the shipping frame management device 20 includes a display unit and an input unit, and displays a sales forecast for each sales base 13 at a certain point in time and a shipping frame for each sales base on the display unit. It may be configured to support the shipping frame management by allowing 20 users to input the relocation frame for each sales base through the input unit. Further, by displaying the operating time of each sales base 13 on the display unit, the user may be allowed to input the timing for applying the sales base reassignment frame input by the user. Thereby, the reassignment frame for each sales base of the corresponding sales base 13 can be changed at a timing that matches the user's preference.
