Description

  The present invention accumulates information on contractors that perform work related to corporate activities, such as industrial waste disposal, and can determine whether or not a transaction can be made based on the business situation grasped by utilizing the accumulated information. It relates to the supplier management system.

  It is natural for companies to promote production activities while giving consideration to the global environment. Corporate activities that fail to do so are subject to social responsibility and, in some cases, situations related to the survival of the company. Will be invited. It is legally required that waste and wastewater generated by corporate activities be treated with due consideration to the environment. There are rare places where all such waste and wastewater treatment is handled in the company, and the treatment is usually carried out by a specialist such as a waste treatment company or a sewage treatment company.

  These processors deal with waste and sewage entrusted by companies in compliance with the law, but there are some companies that carry out treatment by violating the law such as illegal dumping of waste. When a problem such as illegal dumping occurs when outsourcing to such a contractor, the outsourced company is also liable for that responsibility, so it is important to find a contractor who is not likely to cause the problem and outsource it there.

  Against this backdrop, the creation of a mechanism that can collect information on vendors and reliably select vendors that are not likely to cause problems has been considered. For example, there is a system in which the client can browse the information of the dealer via the Internet, and the information of the client can be notified to the dealer, so that the information can be easily browsed and the dealer can be selected ( For example, see Patent Document 1). In addition, there is a waste processing system in which business activities of contractors are stored in a database, and the waste disposal capacity of the waste disposal contractor is evaluated from this data to determine the contractor (see, for example, Patent Document 2). .

On the other hand, a mechanism to prevent illegal acts such as illegal dumping has been actively made. For example, we examine the existence of illegal dumping based on the processing plan data created for processing industrial waste, and if there is no illegal dumping, issue a processing plan and manifest number, and track this by computer management There is an industrial waste management system that enables an investigation (see, for example, Patent Document 3). In addition, the transportation means for transporting waste is monitored by GPS, and the monitoring results are recorded to prevent the occurrence of illegal dumping. A system that can be monitored is disclosed (for example, see Patent Documents 4 and 5).

  By the way, waste disposal contractors rarely deal with all wastes, and usually only authorized ones are handled. For example, the disposal contractor differs depending on the type of waste, such as disposal of hazardous waste but not plastic. Therefore, a company will deal with a plurality of business operators according to the type of waste. In particular, in recent years, there has been an increase in the chances of reusing waste as a resource. However, as waste separation progresses, the types are further subdivided, so the number of business partners increases and the number of contractors increases. Go.

  From such a situation, the company side needs information on as many traders as possible, not just traders that are doing business. For example, some of the waste can be handled by a limited number of vendors, and in order to be able to perform smooth waste disposal, it is essential to secure information on highly specialized vendors. . It is also important to know the status and history of the management of individual processors. Some waste disposal contractors are illegally treated and pursue social responsibility, and dealing with such contractors must be avoided from the social standpoint of companies.

  As described above, there has been a demand for a mechanism that always pools accurate information for a contractor within a company group so that it can be effectively used. An object of the present invention is to provide a supplier management system that enables information relating to a supplier to perform a consignment work that occurs in association with a company activity such as waste disposal to be shared and utilized within a company group. is there.

  Specifically, when we are going to start a new business with a waste disposal contractor, we will provide a contractor management system that will allow us to select a reliable contractor that will not cause problems such as illegal activities.

  In the invention according to any one of claims 1, 7 and 12, any person who has been given access rights to the database can view the information of the trader registered in the first registration means by the browsing means. Therefore, it is possible to share information about the contractor within the group company. For example, if you want to start a transaction with a new waste disposal contractor at a business location, but you do not have enough information at hand, obtain the information about the business from a database and give opinions and information from other business locations. Can be taken into consideration. As a result, the possibility of selecting a reliable trader who does not have a risk of illegal activities is improved.

  Further, in the invention according to any one of claims 1, 7, and 12, each supplier can appropriately deal with their activities by examining the information registered in each registration means. It is possible to determine whether or not there is an appropriate response. In particular, in the present invention, since the transaction is examined in a state where the information of the trader is shared among those who have been granted access to the database, information and opinions obtained from a wider range than in the past, such as within a group company. Based on the above, it is possible to determine whether or not the transaction with the trader is possible. As a result, advanced examinations can be made within a wide range, such as within a group company, and the judgment results obtained there are also highly credible. For example, it is possible to reliably remove contractors that are likely to engage in illegal activities. .

In addition, in the conference referred to in the inventions according to claims 3 and 9, information posted as in the electronic approval system is used in addition to those capable of performing a real-time discussion represented by an electronic conference system or a videophone conference system. It also includes those that can hold a type of discussion that is circulated and considered.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, it is stated that there are two types of information, that is, prior information and actual information as information used when the supplier is examined. Here, prior information refers to information created based on information already registered in the database, and is used, for example, when selecting a new supplier or reviewing a supplier during a transaction. The In other words, by creating prior information for vendor examination from the information registered in the first to third registration means, and utilizing the information accumulated in the database in this way, Business status can be predicted from prior information. On-site information refers to information obtained by a person in charge who went to the target company and conducted a direct survey in order to examine the company.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the advance information and the actual information can be used to examine the trader, the trader can be examined based on highly accurate information.

  In the invention according to any one of claims 5, 10, and 14, the browsing means can provide all the information registered in the database in the company. In other words, information provided by viewers and information on past examination results can also be provided to those who have been granted access rights, so that more advanced information can be shared and vendor reviews can be conducted under more accurate information. Yes. Specifically, the information provided by a certain viewer can be browsed by other viewers, and information can be exchanged between the viewers through browsing means, or new information can be exchanged between the viewers. Can also be created. As a result, it becomes possible to share higher-order information created from the information provided in the database, so that it is possible to manage the merchant based on more sophisticated and detailed information.

  The inventions according to claims 6 and 11 specify the contractor in the present invention as a waste disposal contractor, and further specify the information used as the contractor information in a specific form. In the inventions according to claims 5 and 9, information on the unit price of the consignment processing of the waste, information on the return status of the manifest related to the processing of the waste, information on the time required to complete the processing of the waste, Since at least one piece of information related to the evaluation of occupational safety is provided as browseable vendor information, it is possible to evaluate the vendor more accurately.

  The present invention relates to a supplier management system that registers and accumulates in a database trader information including the contents and results of examinations conducted in the past, and makes it possible to conduct examinations using the stored information. .

  The present inventor analyzed a business that caused illegal activities such as illegal dumping using information such as newspapers, and illegal activities were not performed only by unauthorized persons such as unauthorized businesses. I got the knowledge. In other words, among those who conduct illegal activities, they are called good traders (for example, traders with high management evaluation points, traders with high processing costs, traders with high sales, traders with large corporations or public organizations) Some of them were aware that there was a risk that a company engaged in trusting business could conduct illegal activities and pursue social responsibility on the part of the company.

  Based on this fact, the present inventor considers that there is a risk of illegal activities even by a company generally referred to as a good company, and manages the company information owned by individual factories in a collective manner. We thought that it would be possible to eliminate the risk of illegal activities by sharing information within the company. Information provided from the database is also considered that the knowledge and information given by the viewers who saw the shared information, or the results of the decision of whether or not to carry out the transaction of the traders that have been conducted so far, will also be powerful trader information. The present inventors have studied a system capable of collecting new information derived from the present invention.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

  The supplier management system according to the present invention evaluates, for example, a contractor such as a waste disposal contractor that processes waste generated by a company's production activities using information stored in a database, and evaluates the result. To examine the risk of illegal conduct by contractors. Based on the results of the study, the decision on whether or not to make a transaction with each supplier is made. In addition, the results on the decision on whether or not to make a transaction can be accumulated in the database so that it can be used for the next evaluation opportunity. ing. Here, the contractors to be evaluated include contractors that currently have contracts, contractors that have contracted in the past but have stopped contracting due to current circumstances, and those that are likely to conclude contracts in the near future. Applicable.

  In the supplier management system according to the present invention, for example, even when a plurality of business establishments in a single company are dispersed in Japan and overseas, the information is considered reliable based on a common evaluation standard. It is possible to share information at the same level without causing variations in

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of a supplier management system according to the present invention. In the contractor management system according to the present invention, it is possible to examine whether or not the transaction can be performed by two methods. The first is to present information prepared for review to the reviewer's computer to which access rights have been granted through communication means, and browse the reviewer to provide a place for reviewing transactions using the electronic conference system. is there.

In other words, by using the information registered in the first to third registration means described above, it is possible to create advance information for considering a contractor used in an electronic conference, or in a limited department within a group company. It is used when considering those who do not need to conduct company-wide reviews such as small-scale transactions.

  Next, the examination means according to the present invention will be described. The examination means according to the present invention examines whether or not a transaction with a supplier can be executed based on the business situation of the supplier obtained from information registered in the database. As described above, in the examination means according to the present invention, it is possible to examine whether or not the transaction can be performed by the following two methods. The first is to present information prepared for review to the reviewer's computer to which access rights have been granted through communication means, and allow the reviewer to browse and provide a place to review transactions using the electronic conference system. . The other is that information prepared for examination is input to a computer, and the computer automatically determines whether the transaction is possible based on a preset program. First, the former examination means will be described.

  The contractor management system according to the present invention enables the exchange of opinions and discussions between establishments by using the computer terminal 14 provided at each establishment, and it can be used as a so-called electronic conference system. It is possible.

  That is, in the supplier management system according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a system of an electronic conference system is constructed in which a plurality of reviewers can negotiate via the network 10 and the computer terminal 14. A case will be described in which a transaction review with a waste disposal contractor is conducted between business sites in the system of FIG. 1 which is an example of a contractor management system according to the present invention.

  First, the person in charge of waste disposal at each business site is registered in the server computer 11 in advance. Registered persons (those who have been given access rights) can present their opinions and exchange information via the network 10 by operating their computer terminals 14. At this time, a person participating in the conference can proceed with the conference while receiving information for browsing from the server computer 11.

  The chairperson transmits a signal indicating that he is the chairperson from the computer terminal 14 to the server computer 11 before the start of the meeting, and informs the server computer 11 who is the chairperson. The server computer 11 supports the chairperson's computer terminal 14 that has transmitted this signal by supplying a tool for proceeding with the proceedings so that smooth examination can be performed. As a tool for proceeding with proceedings, for example, a tool that allows the examination result to be registered in the database 12 from the computer terminal of the chairperson at the end of the meeting, a message that is used to encourage participants to speak or to have active discussions, etc. In addition, there is a tool that makes it possible to select information to be provided to the participant from the server computer based on the judgment of the chairman, based on the judgment of the chairman.

  Further, the server computer 11 has a program for registering opinions and new information provided by each reviewer during the conference in the browsing information file 121, and at the time of the conference registered in the system by the second registration means. Can be quickly shared with all participants as browsing information. This program can also display information provided by participants on the monitors of all participants at the discretion of the chair.

  Then, the examination within the group company is completed by the electronic conference system, and whether or not the transaction with the target trader can be executed is recorded as an examination result in the examination result information storage file 123 of the database 12 from the computer terminal 14 of the chairperson.

  Finally, when a signal indicating the end of the conference is transmitted from the chairperson's computer terminal 14 to the server computer 11, the server computer 11 receives this signal, cancels the provision of the conference support tool, and operates the electronic conference system. finish.

  As described above, the computer terminal 14, the network 10, the server computer 11, and the database 12 provided in each of the business offices A to E constitute a study unit according to the present invention using an electronic conference system. In addition to the above-described configuration, the subject of the present invention can be achieved even if the examination can be made by videophone.

  In addition to being usable as the electronic conference system described above, the supplier management system according to the present invention can also be used as an electronic conference system. Specifically, the following examination method by electronic deliberation can be mentioned.

  First, the evaluation result of the supplier to be examined is registered in the database 12 via the server computer 11. The registered information is checked by the secretariat that manages the supplier management system, and based on this information, the deliberation committee circulates and reviews. When there are unclear points such as problems, the problem points are posted and examined, and it is determined whether or not the transaction with the target trader can be performed.

  As described above, the supplier management system according to the present invention can perform a study that does not necessarily require a real-time study.

  Next, a case where the server computer 11 serves as a study unit will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the server computer 11 can examine whether or not the trader can carry out the transaction based on information recorded in the database 12 by the information examination processing unit 113 provided in the control unit. is there. In the supplier management system according to the present invention, examination is performed by a plurality of participants in a discussion mainly between business establishments via an electronic conference system or an electronic approval system, which is recorded in the database 12, for example. When considering a business that cannot be clearly traded from the information, there is no need to discuss with the committee members. In such a case, the server computer 11 can determine whether or not to continue the transaction based on the information recorded in the database 12.

  Specifically, by operating the program of the information review processing unit 113, extracting predetermined information from information recorded in the database 12, and inputting this information, the determination result by the server computer 11 is obtained. Like that. This is a list of companies that can determine whether or not the transaction can be executed based on the determination by the server computer 11 in advance. Then, when examining the corresponding contractor, an operation for enabling the execution of the transaction to be determined by the program for creating the examination information provided from the server computer 11 when the electronic conference system performs the examination. This can be realized by adding.

  Next, a description will be given of a supplier examination performed by the supplier management system according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is an example of a flowchart of a supplier examination performed by the supplier management system according to the present invention. In the present invention, it is possible to automatically determine whether or not the transaction can be performed by executing a program for examining the transaction with the waste supplier shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 using a computer.

  The vendor examination performed by the vendor management system according to the present invention is as follows.

  First, a supplier to be examined is selected (step S1). Next, information for examination related to the selected examination subject trader is created (step S2). First, it is confirmed whether or not there is information registered by the second and third registration means in the database 12 (step S3), and if it exists (step S3; Yes), these information can be browsed. The information is converted (step S4). Specifically, the first registration means moves the database 12 so that it can be used for browsing information (step S4). When it is confirmed that such information does not exist (step S3; No), or when the movement of the information by the first registration means is completed, browsing information is created using these information ( Step S5).

  Next, the created browsing information is presented to the examiner via the network (step S6), and the server computer confirms whether or not there has been a comment on the information browsed by the viewer or registration of related information (step S7). When there is information registration from the viewer (step S7; Yes), the information is moved by the first registration means in order to share the registered information (step S8). When there is no information registration from the viewer (step S7; No), and after the work of step S8 is completed, the information obtained by the field survey is registered in the database as information that can be browsed by the first registration means. (Step S9). In this way, the preparation of the examination information is completed (step S10).

  Next, the execution of the transaction with the trader is examined using these pieces of information (step S11). Although not shown, in the present invention, opinions and new information provided from the examiner during the examination can be registered in the database via the computer terminal used by each examiner. And when it is judged that the examined trader is not likely to cause illegal acts (Step S12; Yes), it is decided to carry out the transaction (Step S13), and it is judged that there is a possibility of causing illegal acts. (Step S12; No) makes a decision not to trade (Step S14). Further, this result is registered in the database 12 through the third registration means, and a series of supplier examinations is completed.

  According to such a flow, the present invention can perform a vendor study, and the computer constituting the vendor management system according to the present invention can execute the program according to the above flowchart so that the study based on this flow can be performed via a communication line. Is set.

  Next, the information used for grasping the business situation of the supplier will be described.

  When the supplier management system according to the present invention is used in a case of managing a transaction with a waste supplier, as the supplier information for browsing, the unit price of waste consignment processing, the manifest return status regarding waste processing, The time taken to complete the process and the assessment of the worker's occupational safety are the basis for the information for consideration.

  The merchant management system according to the present invention performs transaction with a merchant from two types of information, that is, prior information created from information stored in the database 12 and actual information collected by the person in charge under the merchant. This is to create information for examination that is used when examining availability.

  These pieces of information are for conducting business examinations with contractors in light of laws such as the Waste Disposal Law. The Waste Disposal Law is related to waste disposal and cleaning. Specifically, when waste disposal companies outsource their disposal work to waste disposal companies, improper disposal and illegal dumping were performed. In that case, it is clearly stated that the commissioned emission companies are also subject to penalties and the obligation to recover the current situation.

  As described above, the prior information is created from the information accumulated in the database 12, and in the contractor management system according to the present invention, most of the information for review used in the contractor review by the review means is preliminarily stored. Accumulate information so that it can be handled by information.

  On the other hand, the field information is information obtained by going to a waste disposal contractor and actually confirming and evaluating the environment and work situation for performing the waste disposal work. It is positioned to supplement the leakage of information recorded in In other words, when evaluating the continuation of transaction execution, not only predicting the current business situation from the information recorded in the database 12, but also by directly confirming the actual situation, This is done to improve accuracy. Specific items of on-site information include the status of storage of collected waste, the organization of work, the status of compliance with laws and regulations, the location of work, the status of waste disposal, the status of work-related information Examples include the status of disclosure, and there are other items to be evaluated by taking pictures.

  Based on these pieces of information, the examination information for examining the transaction with the waste supplier is created.

  In the present invention, among the information for examination, there are the above-mentioned items that are particularly emphasized for grasping the current business situation of the trader, and will be specifically described below.

(1) Transition of consignment unit price of waste In the present invention, by managing the transition of consignment unit price as information, for example, contractors who raise the unit price of consignment tend to cause illegal acts. It was found that the change in unit price would be useful information for grasping the situation of contractors.

  Usually, the unit price (consignment unit price) associated with waste processing is often the amount presented by the contractor, and the contract unit price is determined based on the judgment of the processing contractor. Therefore, there may be a trader who presents a higher commission unit price than the previous time when he / she requests the same kind and amount of waste as before, or presents a higher unit price than other traders. And he found that the more difficult the business situation, the more frequently the price is revised.

(2) Manifest return status related to waste processing When waste processing is performed, only the exchange of manifests between the outsourced company side and the outsourced contractor side provides evidence of the processing record.

  In the present invention, by managing the transition of the time taken from the delivery of the manifest delivered to the contractor to the return as information, there is a correlation between the return status of the manifest and the risk of causing illegal acts of the trader. I found out. That is, it has been found that the management of the manifest is sloppy, or that the trader having a longer period from the end of the process to the return has a tendency to cause illegal acts.

  Here, the manifest (industrial waste management slip) refers to a management slip for grasping the flow of processing of industrial waste by describing the name, quantity, consignee, etc. of industrial waste. Specifically, a company that discharges waste can deliver it to a waste collection and transportation company and disposal company, so that it is possible to constantly check the trend to final disposal of waste entrusted to a waste disposal company. It is. That is, the company can confirm whether or not the waste is properly disposed without illegal dumping from the feedback status of the manifest from the supplier.

  Emissions companies such as companies entrusting industrial waste processing to others are obligated to use the manifest under the Waste Management Law, and electronic manifests called JWNET (Japan Waste Network) using electronic information or copying One of the paper manifests using the formula slip is selected and used. JWNET is an electronic manifest system defined by the Waste Disposal Law and is operated by the Japan Industrial Waste Disposal Promotion Center.

(3) Time required for completing the disposal of waste In the present invention, by managing the transition of the time required for the contractor to complete the disposal of waste as information, It was found that the time required can be used as information to support the risk of illegal conduct by contractors. In other words, it has been found that traders whose time required for disposal gradually increases in time series have a high risk of illegal activities.

  For example, the number of days required to complete the disposal of a contractor in a transaction who has completed the processing in 10 days until the 12th, and the next processing, such as 15 days, gradually increases. As a result, traders with this tendency tend to be more at risk of illegal activities.

(4) Evaluation of trader's occupational safety In the present invention, it is also possible to grasp the trader's consciousness about the continuation of stable waste disposal operation by making it possible to predict the trader's idea of occupational safety from the results of the on-site evaluation. Is possible. Specifically, we visited the site to inspect and confirm the storage status of waste, organized organization information, the location and operation status of waste disposal work, and the education status for workers. Evaluate attitudes toward occupational safety by sharing work environment status within group companies through interviews and photography.

  The photography items include, for example, permission signs, processing facility appearance, processing conditions, processing facilities, surrounding conditions where the processing facilities are located, and conditions of waste loading roads. It is stored in the database 12 as electronic information and shared within the group company.

(5) Others In addition to the above four items, “Illegal dumping” (written by Masayoshi Ishiwatari, 2003, Iwanami Shoten), which is useful information for grasping the status of business of contractors An index called trust rate based on "output analysis method" can be mentioned.

  The acceptance rate is an evaluation of the contractor's waste disposal status based on the value calculated from the following formula, and predicts an overflow of the waste disposal contractor's commission.

Trust rate (%) = (actual sales / standard sales) x 100
That is, when the acceptance rate exceeds 100%, it means that the waste is accepted beyond the capacity that can be handled.

  The trust rate is calculated based on data described in accounting documents such as financial statements. However, if it is difficult to obtain such data, an accurate value can be obtained by directly inquiring the supplier. Is calculated. In the contractor management system according to the present invention, the accuracy of the contractor evaluation can be improved by registering and utilizing the data of the trust rate in the database 12.

  In the supplier management system according to the present invention, the examination information for studying the transaction with the waste supplier is created based on these items. As information for examination, information consisting of these items is input from the server computer 11 and registered in the database 12 as browsing information, and is provided to each computer terminal 14 from the server computer 11 as information for examination when conducting the examination. A specific form of the examination information is, for example, a waste supplier evaluation table having a format as shown below.

  The waste supplier evaluation table will be described in detail. The waste supplier evaluation table 2 includes basic information, permission / authorization items, transaction conditions, management information, evaluation items at the time of continuous examination, and other information created based on prior information that has been accumulated so far as browsing information. In addition to the above, it is broadly classified into those created using actual information obtained by newly performing. The latter items include facility operation status, waste storage status, organized status, document organization status, location conditions, occupational safety information, and photography items.

  In addition, the waste supplier evaluation table filled in with the information is as follows.

  In the present invention, the waste supplier evaluation table 2 in which the evaluation results as shown in FIG. Based on the information described in the waste supplier evaluation table 2, in the present invention, the implementation of the transaction with the target supplier is examined.

  Note that the waste supplier evaluation table is given as an example only, and the waste supplier evaluation items when the supplier management system according to the present invention is used for the management of the waste supplier are those listed in the above table. It is not limited.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since the person who has been granted the right to access the database can view the information on the merchant registered in the first registration means by the browsing means, the information on the merchant can be stored in a specific location. Can be widely shared within the group companies without bias. Therefore, when you want to start a business with a new waste disposal contractor at a certain business location, even if you do not have enough information about that business, you can obtain information about that business from the database, Information can be used. As a result, it is possible to select a reliable trader who does not have a risk of illegal activities when selecting a new trader.

  In the present invention, the information registered in each registration means is examined by the examination means to determine whether or not each contractor can take an appropriate response to their activities. be able to. In particular, since it is possible to consider transactions in a state where the information of the business is shared among those who have been granted access to the database, business with the business is based on information and opinions widely obtained from within the group companies. Can determine whether or not As a result, a highly reliable judgment result is obtained based on examinations conducted in a wide range within the company, and it is possible to reliably remove a trader who is likely to conduct illegal activities from the target of trading.
