Description

  The present invention relates to a material purchase allocation apparatus that selectively allocates purchases to a plurality of business partners, and in particular, an allocation area (district) desired by a business partner and an estimated amount (delivery unit price) for the allocation area. The present invention relates to a material purchase allocation apparatus, a material purchase allocation system, a material purchase allocation method, and a material purchase allocation program that selectively allocate materials to multiple suppliers.

  In general, when an orderer or an orderer side company (hereinafter simply referred to as an orderer) purchases materials, it collects estimates about the materials to be purchased from multiple suppliers (e.g., orderee side companies) Based on these estimates, a business partner who officially purchases the material (this business partner is the contractor) is determined. By the way, when the orderer purchases the material, the orderer may be determined by so-called rank proportional distribution competition instead of simply determining the orderer according to the estimate.

  In an example of this rank-proportional distribution competition (hereinafter referred to as the first rank-proportional distribution competition), an allocation district is determined in advance according to the estimated competition result ranking (for example, ranking first place: XX district, ranking second place: [Delta] [Delta]) After obtaining the estimated competition result, a predetermined allocation district is assigned in accordance with the estimated competition rank, and the purchase order of materials is performed.

  On the other hand, in another example of rank-proportional distribution competition (hereinafter referred to as second rank-proportional distribution competition), a predetermined order ratio (for example, 1st place: 50%, 2nd place: 30%) previously presented by the orderer side, 3rd place: 20%), the top several companies (in this case, the top 3 companies) are ordered to purchase materials according to the estimated competition results. At this time, for example, the orderer assigns a district for ordering materials in consideration of the performance of the contractor.

In addition, there is a known competitive trading system that buys and sells objects that can be distributed via a homepage. Here, the server notifies the client of the trading object, and the client sets the distribution range of the trading object and the distribution range. There is one in which the strategy information including the corresponding desired price is decided by the participant and the strategy information is notified to the server. Here, the server sends all the strategy information notified from the client to all the clients. The client causes the participant to determine one piece of strategy information from among the plurality of pieces of strategy information determined by the participant, and the server notifies the client of the successful bid result (for example, patent document) 1).
JP 2001-216460 A

  By the way, in the above-mentioned first rank proportional distribution competition, a situation may occur in which the district desired by the business partner is not allocated because the allocation district is determined in association with the estimated competition result ranking. In general, considering that the business partners tend to make the estimated amount cheaper in the desired allocation area, if an allocation area that the business partner does not want is allocated, it is cheaper in the allocation area desired by the business partner. Despite being able to place an order, there is a problem that as a result it is not possible to place an inexpensive order and cost cannot be reduced. Similarly, in the second rank proportional distribution competition, since the orderer assigns the district where the material should be ordered for each business partner, a situation occurs in which the desired business district is not assigned on the business partner side. As a result, there is a problem that materials cannot be ordered inexpensively.

  In any case, in the first and second rank proportional distribution competition, when the order of materials is received by a plurality of suppliers (that is, when a successful bid is made), the first successful bidder is Although a relatively desired district is allocated, the desired district is not necessarily allocated to the second successful bidder. And when submitting an estimate, the estimated amount is inevitably higher in areas other than the desired area, and as a result, as described above, when assigning a district for each contractor by the first or second rank proportional distribution competition, There exists a subject that the expense concerning material purchase will become expensive.

  The sales competition system described in Patent Document 1 is an article sales system applied to an Internet auction, and is difficult to use for the above-described rank proportional distribution competition.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a material purchase allocation apparatus, a material purchase allocation system, and a material purchase allocation that can purchase a material at a low cost for an orderer and that can allocate a district desired by the contractor as much as possible. It is to provide a method and a material purchase allocation program.

  The material purchase allocation apparatus according to the present invention uses a plurality of preset districts as allocation districts, and is used when determining a business partner who purchases materials for each allocation district, and has at least one allocation district. A rank determination unit that receives a combination of the combination, the allocation combination, and the estimated amount for each business partner, and determines the ranking of the allocation district combination according to the estimated amount for all business partners, and a rank determination unit And an allocation determining unit that selectively allocates allocation district combinations to suppliers sequentially based on the determined allocation combination ranking.

  In the material purchase assigning apparatus of the present invention, the order determining means arranges the assigned district combinations in ascending order of the estimated amount and determines the order of the assigned district combinations.

  In the material purchase allocation apparatus according to the present invention, the rank determination unit arranges the allocation district combinations in the order of estimated amounts of a plurality of ranks, and the allocation determination unit estimates the specific rank among the plurality of ranks. First allocation means for temporarily allocating the allocation district combination corresponding to the amount as the specific allocation district combination and the allocation district combination corresponding to the estimated amount after the specific rank are included in the allocation district combination A first determination means for determining whether or not an allocated district has already been allocated; and whether or not an allocated district combination corresponding to the estimated amount after the specified rank is allocated to a business partner that has already been allocated. A second judging means for judging, and it is judged by the first judging means that it has not been assigned yet and assigned by the second judging means. If it is determined that the allocation has not been made, the second temporary allocation means for temporarily allocating the allocated district combination corresponding to the estimated price after the specific position to the business partner, and all the plurality of preset districts Temporary allocation list generating means for associating the allocation district combination with the estimated amount when the allocation is performed and generating a temporary allocation list indicating the total amount, and changing the specific position, the first and the first 2 temporary allocation means, the first and second temporary allocation means, and an activation means for activating the temporary allocation list generating means again, and a temporary allocation list with the lowest total sum from the plurality of temporary allocation lists. Selection means for selecting as an assignment result list.

  In the material purchase allocation apparatus according to the present invention, the allocation determination unit generates a district allocation list in which the allocation district combination is allocated to the business partner as the allocation result list, and further includes an output unit that outputs the district allocation list. Have.

  A material purchase allocation system according to the present invention includes any one of the above-described material purchase allocation devices and at least one terminal device connected to the material purchase allocation device via a network, and estimates from the terminal device via the network. It is characterized by being sent to the material purchase allocation device.

  The material purchase allocation system of the present invention includes a transmission means for transmitting the allocation district combination allocated to the business partner by the material purchase allocation device to the terminal device as allocation district information.

  The material purchase allocation method according to the present invention uses a plurality of preset districts as allocation districts, and is used when determining a business partner who purchases materials for each allocation district, and has at least one allocation district. Receives an estimate that associates the combination, the assigned combination, and the estimated amount for each business partner, and determines the order of the allocation district combination for all business partners according to the estimated amount, and the order determining step And an allocation determining step of selectively allocating allocation district combinations to business partners sequentially based on the allocated allocation ranking.

  The material purchase allocation program according to the present invention is used when determining a business partner who purchases materials for each of the allocated districts by setting a plurality of preset districts as allocation districts. A rank determination step for receiving, for each business partner, an estimate that associates the allocated district combination with the allocation combination and the estimated amount, and determining the rank of the allocated district combination according to the estimated amount for all of the business partners; An allocation determination step of selectively assigning allocation district combinations to the business partners sequentially based on the allocation combination ranking determined in the step is performed.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when a plurality of preset districts are assigned to each of the assigned districts and a business partner who purchases materials for each assigned district is determined, the assigned districts having at least one assigned district can be selected. After obtaining an estimate that associates the combination, the assigned combination, and the estimated amount, and determining the order of the assigned district combinations for all of the business partners according to the estimated amount, Since the allocation district combinations are selectively allocated, there is an effect that the orderer can purchase materials at a low cost and can allocate the districts desired by the supplier as much as possible.

  According to the present invention, the allocation district combinations are arranged in ascending order of the estimated amount of money, and the order of the allocation district combinations is determined. Therefore, the allocation district combinations can be sequentially allocated from the suppliers that have estimated the lowest price. it can.

  According to the present invention, since the temporary allocation list with the lowest total sum is selected as the allocation result list from a plurality of temporary allocation lists, the cheapest allocation district combination is automatically selected from the allocation district combinations desired by the business partners. There is an effect that it is possible to select and assign to.

  According to the present invention, since the district allocation list in which the allocation district combination is allocated to the business partner is output, there is an effect that the allocation district for each business partner can be easily confirmed.

  According to the material purchase allocation system of the present invention, since the estimates are collected from the terminal device to the material purchase allocation device via the network, there is an effect that the estimates can be easily collected.

  According to the material purchase allocation system of the present invention, since the allocation district combination allocated to the business partner is transmitted to the terminal device as allocation district information, there is an effect that the allocation district can be easily communicated to the business partner. is there.

  According to the material purchase allocation method of the present invention, when a plurality of preset districts are assigned to each of the assigned districts and a business partner who purchases materials is determined for each of the assigned districts, After obtaining an estimate that associates the combination, the assigned combination, and the estimated amount, and determining the order of the assigned district combinations for all of the business partners according to the estimated amount, Since the allocation district combinations are selectively allocated, there is an effect that the orderer can purchase materials at a low cost and can allocate the districts desired by the supplier as much as possible.

  According to the material purchase allocation program according to the present invention, when a plurality of preset districts are set as allocation districts, and a business partner who purchases materials for each allocation district is determined, an allocation district having at least one allocation district is selected. Obtain an estimate that associates the combination with the assigned combination and the estimated amount, and after determining the order of the assigned district combination according to the estimated amount for all of the business partners, sequentially selects the business partners based on the assigned combination order Since the combination of assigned districts is assigned, the orderer can purchase materials at a low cost and can assign the desired districts as much as possible.

  Hereinafter, an example of a material purchase allocation apparatus and a material purchase allocation system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Referring to FIG. 1, the material purchase allocation device 11 is connected to a network 12 such as the Internet, for example. The network 12 includes at least one terminal device, in the illustrated example, a plurality of terminal devices 13-. 1 to 13-N (N is an integer of 2 or more) are connected. In the illustrated example, the material purchase allocation device 11 is arranged on the material orderer side, and the terminal devices 13-1 to 13 -N are respectively the material suppliers (for example, when N = 5, company A to company E ) Is installed on the side. Then, when the material supplier receives the allocation of the district for the purchase of the material, as will be described later, an estimate including the estimated amount (material delivery unit price) for each desired allocation district combination is sent to the orderer via the network 12. To send. This estimate needs to be sent, for example, by the time limit set by the orderer.

  The orderer examines the financial constitution of the supplier who wishes to receive an order for materials in advance and issues a material supplier identification number (hereinafter simply referred to as ID) to the supplier who has passed this examination. At the same time, these IDs are stored in a storage unit (not shown in FIG. 1) in the material purchase allocation device 11 in association with the supplier name. Then, as will be described later, a supplier who wishes to receive an order for materials accesses the material purchase allocation device 11 from the terminal device 13-n (n is any integer from 1 to N) via the network. Enter the supplier name and ID.

  When the input supplier name and ID are stored in the storage unit, the supplier can transmit an estimate to the material purchase allocation apparatus 11 via the network 12 by the terminal device 13-n. In other words, when the input supplier name and ID are stored in the storage unit, the material purchase allocation device 11 receives the estimate transmitted from the terminal device 13-n.

  Here, referring to FIG. 2, the material purchase allocation device 11 is, for example, a computer system, and includes a communication control unit 21, an input unit 22 such as a keyboard and a scanner, an estimate request / reception unit 23, an estimate reordering unit 24, An allocation area determination unit 25, a storage unit 26, and an output unit 27 such as a monitor and a printer are provided. The storage unit 26 stores the aforementioned supplier name and ID.

  In the orderer, the material to be purchased (for example, specification of the material (hereinafter simply referred to as material name)), material purchase target district (that is, the assigned district, these assigned districts are preset by the orderer from the input unit 22. (For example, assigned districts are set in units of prefectures or municipalities), purchase quantity of materials by district (purchase quantity by district), number of successful bidders, estimated upper limit (unit price upper limit), desired allocation district combination The upper limit number and the estimated receipt deadline are input as estimation conditions, and an estimate request destination (including an address) is input. The above-mentioned upper limit number of desired allocation districts represents the upper limit of the number of allocation districts that can be selected by an estimate request destination with a single estimated amount. In combination, an estimated amount can be submitted for all these assigned district combinations.

  Upon receiving the estimate condition and the estimate request destination, the estimate request / reception unit 23 transmits the estimate condition to the estimate request destination by the communication control unit 21. The estimate request destination creates an estimate to be described later according to the estimate condition, and sends it to the material purchase allocation device 11 via the network 12 by the terminal device 13-n, for example. In sending an estimate, first, the material purchase allocation device 11 is accessed, the ID and the supplier name are input from the terminal device 13-n, and the material purchase allocation device 11 authenticates the terminal device 13-n. There is a need to do.

  When the estimate request / reception unit 23 receives an estimate (estimate data) via the communication control unit 21, the estimate request / reception unit 23 stores the estimate in association with the ID in the storage unit 26. Then, when the above-described estimate receipt deadline has passed, the estimate request / reception unit 23 notifies the estimate rearrangement unit 24 to that effect. Upon receiving this notification, the estimate rearrangement unit 24 reads each estimate from the storage unit 26, rearranges them in ascending order of the estimated amount as described later, generates an estimate content list, and stores it in the storage unit 26. While storing, it passes to the allocation district determination part 25.

  The allocation district determination unit 25 generates a competition result (allocation district list) to be described later based on the estimated content list, and outputs the competition result from the output unit 27 and stores it in the storage unit 26. In addition, when the ordering party sending command is input from the input unit 22, the allocation district determination unit 25 responds to the business partner (ordering party) indicated in the competition result in the storage unit 26 by the communication control unit 21 via the network. You may make it send a business partner's allocation district and contract amount as allocation district information.

  Further, the above quote request may be made by mail or fax, and in this case, the quote is sent from the client to the orderer by mail or fax. In this case, when the orderer inputs an estimate of each request destination from the input unit 22, the estimate request / reception unit 23 stores the estimate in the storage unit 26 in association with the ID.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 10, the operation of the material purchase allocation apparatus 11 will be further described. Here, a case will be described in which a 22 kV switch (hereinafter simply referred to as a “switch”) as a material is determined for each district. Here, five prefectures in the Chugoku region (Tottori Prefecture, Shimane Prefecture, Okayama Prefecture, Hiroshima Prefecture, and Yamaguchi Prefecture) are set as the allocation area, and the estimated amount is the unit price per switch. The number of successful bidders is not limited (no setting), and the estimated upper limit is 500,000 yen / unit. And the upper limit number of allocation district combinations is 3 prefectures, and the number of purchases by district is Tottori prefecture = 30 units, Shimane prefecture = 60 units, Okayama prefecture = 100 units, Hiroshima prefecture = 200 units, and Yamaguchi prefecture = 150 units, Requests for quotation were made from Company A to Company E.

  As described above, an estimate request is made from company A to company E (step S1), and an estimate deadline is set in estimate request / reception unit 23 (step S2). When the quotation request is made, the quotation request / reception unit 23 enters a quotation waiting state and monitors whether or not the quotation reception deadline has arrived (step S3). The unit 23 determines whether at least one estimate has been received (step S4).

  If the quotation request / reception unit 23 has not received any quotation before the deadline for receipt of quotation, the material purchase allocation apparatus 11 stops processing. On the other hand, if the estimate request / reception unit 23 has received at least one estimate by the deadline for receiving the estimate, the estimate reordering unit 24 reorders the estimates stored in the storage unit 26 in ascending order of the estimated amount (step S5). ).

  Now, assume that Company A to Company E submit (send) the estimates shown in FIGS. Each of the estimates shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 8 includes a supplier column, an estimated amount (estimated amount) column, and an assigned district combination column. In the supplier column, the supplier (company name) indicates the estimated amount. In the column, the estimated amount is entered, and in the assigned district combination column, the desired assigned district combinations within the upper limit number of desired assigned district combinations are entered.

  The estimate rearranging unit 24 looks at the estimated amounts in the estimates of the A company to the E company, searches for the cheapest estimated amount, and sets this estimated amount as the first estimated amount. Subsequently, the second lowest estimated amount is set as the second highest estimated amount, and the order is shifted from the lowest to the highest, and the Mth (M is an integer of 2 or more) estimated amount is the Mth estimated amount. And Then, obtain business partner names and assigned district combinations corresponding to the first to Mth estimated amounts, respectively, and arrange company names and allocated district combinations in the order of the first to Mth estimated amounts. A content list.

  In the example shown in the figure, M = 28, and when there are a plurality of estimated amounts of the same rank, the order is determined in advance (for example, the order in which the date and time when the estimate is received is earlier, in this case, from Company A to Company E The allocation district combinations may be arranged in order (assuming that the estimates are received in order) (that is, when the estimated amount is the same, the date and time when the estimate is received is the higher). FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a list of estimated contents created in accordance with the estimates shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, and it can be seen that supplier names and assigned district combinations are arranged in ascending order of estimated amount.

  In addition, in the estimate rearrangement unit 24, for the estimated amount exceeding the estimated upper limit, the corresponding supplier and assigned district combination is deleted to generate a list of estimated contents.

  The estimate rearrangement unit 24 stores the above-described estimate content list in the storage unit 26 and passes it to the assigned district determination unit 25. In the allocation district determination unit 25, first, m = 1 (m is any integer from 1 to M), and the first-ranked business partner corresponding to the lowest estimated price, that is, the first-ranked estimated price. The allocation district combination corresponding to the estimated amount is temporarily allocated (step S6). In the example shown in FIG. 9, “Tottori” is temporarily assigned as the assigned district combination to Company E that has estimated 330,000 yen as the first estimated amount.

  Subsequently, the allocation area determination unit 25 determines whether or not provisional allocation has been completed for all allocation areas (step S7). In the example shown in FIG. 9, since only the temporary assignment of “Tottori” has been completed, it is subsequently determined whether (m + 1) = M (step S8), and if (m + 1) = M, The material purchase allocation device 11 stops the processing. Here, since (m + 1) <M, the allocation district determination unit 25 temporarily allocates the allocation district combination corresponding to the (m + 1) th estimated amount to the business partner corresponding to the (m + 1) th estimated amount. (Step S9). Here, first, the allocation district combination corresponding to the second estimated amount is temporarily allocated to the business partner corresponding to the second estimated amount.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, the allocation district combination corresponding to the second estimated amount is temporarily allocated to the business partner (Company B) corresponding to the second estimated amount = 340,000 yen. That is, in step S9, “Hiroshima” and “Okayama” are provisionally assigned to the company B as the assigned district combination. Subsequently, the assigned district determination unit 25 determines whether or not a district that has already been assigned is included in this assigned district combination (step S10). If all of the allocation districts in the allocation district combination are districts that have not yet been assigned, the allocation district determination section 25 proceeds to step S11, and in step S11, the allocation district combination that has already been selected (that is, allocation district combination allocation is performed). E) Determine whether or not it is a business partner. Then, if it is a business partner that has not yet been selected, the allocation district determination unit 25 temporarily allocates the temporarily allocated allocation district combination to the business partner (step S12), and returns to step S7.

  Then, after determining whether or not provisional allocation has been performed for all the districts in step S7, it is determined whether (m + 1) = M in step S8. Thereafter, in step S9, the allocation district determination unit 25 temporarily allocates the allocation district combination corresponding to the (m + 1) th estimated amount to the business partner corresponding to the (m + 1) th estimated amount. Here, the allocation district combination corresponding to the third estimated amount is temporarily allocated to the business partner corresponding to the third estimated amount.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, “Tottori” and “Shimane” are provisionally allocated to the business partner (Company E) corresponding to the third estimated amount = 340,000 yen. As a result of determining that the company E is an already selected supplier, the process returns from step S11 to step S9. In step S9, the supplier corresponding to the fourth-ranked estimated amount = 345,000 yen (company B) "Hiroshima", "Okayama", and "Yamaguchi" will be provisionally assigned. Here, “Hiroshima” and “Okayama” have already been provisionally assigned, so the process returns from step S10 to step S9, and the supplier (Company A) corresponding to the fifth estimated amount = 350,000 yen. “Hiroshima”, “Okayama”, and “Yamaguchi” are temporarily allocated to “Hiroshima” and “Okayama”, but since “Hiroshima” and “Okayama” have already been temporarily allocated, the process returns from step S10 to step S9.

  In this way, steps S7 to S12 are performed from (m + 1) = 2 to M (M = 28) until provisional allocation is performed for all the districts. If it is determined in step S7 that provisional allocation has been completed for all districts, the allocation district determination unit 25 proceeds to step S13.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, the estimated amount (first estimated amount) for company E is 330,000 yen, “Tottori” is temporarily allocated, and the estimated amount (second estimated amount) for company B = For 340,000 yen, "Hiroshima" and "Okayama" are temporarily allocated. Then, “Yamaguchi” and “Shimane” are temporarily allocated to Company D with an estimated amount (eighth estimated amount) = 360,000 yen. After that, in step S13, the allocation area determination unit 25 obtains the total for each company according to the number purchased by each company (in this example, B company = 300 units, D company = 210 units, E company = 30 units), The total is added to obtain a grand total (here, 187,500,000 yen) and is temporarily stored in the storage unit 26 as a first temporary allocation list.

  The allocation district determination unit 25 determines whether m = M after generating the first temporary allocation list (step S14). Here, since m = 1, the allocation district determination unit 25 returns to step S6, sets m = 2, and corresponds to the second-ranked estimate for the customer corresponding to the second-ranked estimate. Temporarily assign assigned district combinations. In the example shown in FIG. 9, “Hiroshima” and “Okayama” are provisionally assigned as allocation district combinations to Company B that has estimated 340,000 yen as the second estimated amount.

  Thereafter, as described above, steps S7 to S12 are performed, and if it is determined in step S7 that all the districts have been allocated, a second temporary allocation list is generated in step S13. In the example shown in FIG. 9, “Tottori” and “Shimane” are assigned to the business partner (Company E) corresponding to the third estimated amount (340,000 yen) as the allocation district combination corresponding to the third estimated amount. "Is temporarily assigned, but" Yamaguchi "is not assigned to any business partner. That is, even if the processing is performed up to (m + 1) = M (= 28), it is not possible to allocate all the districts, and although not shown in FIG. 3, in this case, the second temporary allocation list Is not generated, and the process proceeds to step S14.

  The allocated district determination unit 25 determines whether m = M in step S14. Here, since m = 2, the allocation district determination unit 25 returns to step S6, sets m = 3, and corresponds to the third-ranked estimated amount to the business partner corresponding to the third-ranked estimated amount. Temporarily assign assigned district combinations. In the example shown in FIG. 9, “Tottori” and “Shimane” are temporarily assigned as the assigned district combinations to Company E that has estimated 340,000 yen as the third estimated amount.

  Thereafter, as described above, steps S7 to S12 are performed, and if it is determined in step S7 that all districts have been allocated, a third temporary allocation list is generated in step S13. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the estimated amount (third estimated amount) for Company E is 340,000 yen, “Tottori” and “Shimane” are temporarily allocated, and the estimated amount (fourth ranked) is assigned to Company B. Estimated amount) = 345,000 yen, and “Hiroshima”, “Okayama”, and “Yamaguchi” are temporarily allocated. Thereafter, in step S13, the allocation area determination unit 25 obtains a total for each company according to the number of purchases of each company (in this example, B company = 450 units, E company = 90 units), and adds up the total to obtain a total. A total (here, 185,850,000 yen) is obtained and temporarily stored in the storage unit 26 as a third temporary allocation list.

  After that, after determining whether or not m = M in step S14, the process returns to step S6, where m = 4 and the fourth-ranked estimate is dealt with. Temporarily assign the assigned district combination. In the example shown in FIG. 9, “Hiroshima”, “Okayama”, and “Yamaguchi” are temporarily allocated as allocation district combinations to Company B that estimates 345,000 yen as the fourth estimated amount.

  Thereafter, as described above, steps S7 to S12 are performed, and if it is determined in step S7 that all districts have been allocated, a fourth temporary allocation list is generated in step S13. In the example shown in FIG. 9, “Hiroshima”, “Okayama”, and “Yamaguchi” are temporarily allocated to Company B with the estimated amount (fourth estimated amount) = 340,000 yen, and the estimated amount to Company C (Estimated price of 17th place) = 385,000 yen, “Tottori” and “Shimane” are temporarily allocated. Thereafter, in step S13, the allocation area determination unit 25 obtains the total for each company according to the number of units purchased by each company (in this example, B company = 450 units, C company = 90 units), and adds up the total to obtain a total. A total (here, 189,900,000 yen) is obtained and temporarily stored in the storage unit 26 as a fourth temporary allocation list.

  In this way, after allocating the assigned district combinations to the suppliers of the corresponding ranks for m = 1 to M in step S6, steps S7 to S12 are performed for (m + 1) = 2 to M. Then, a temporary allocation list is sequentially generated and stored in the storage unit 26. In step S14, when m = M, the allocation district determination unit 25 selects the cheapest temporary allocation list of the total total from all the temporary allocation lists stored in the storage unit and sets it as an allocation list (allocation result list). Is determined: Step S15).

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, the total sum of the above-mentioned third temporary allocation list = 185,850,000 yen is the cheapest. As a result, the allocation district determination unit 25 officially displays the fourth temporary allocation list as the competition result ( Assignment result list). This competition result is, for example, a list shown in FIG. 10, and includes a successful bidder column, a contract amount column, an allocation district column, a purchased number column, a total column, and a total column.

  As described above, “Hiroshima”, “Okayama”, and “Yamaguchi” are allocated to Company B as allocation district combinations, so the number of purchased vehicles is 450, and the total (total amount) is 155,250, 000 yen. In addition, since “Tottori” and “Shimane” are allocated to Company E as the allocation district combination, the number of purchased units is 90, and the total is 30,600,000 yen. As a result, the grand total is It will be 185,850,000 yen.

  When the allocation district determination unit 25 generates the competition result as described above, the allocation district determination unit 25 outputs the competition result from the output unit 27 (step S16), stores the result in the storage unit 26, and ends the process.

  As described above, in steps S5 to S13, the assigned district combinations are arranged in the order of the estimated amounts of the plurality of ranks, and the assigned district combinations corresponding to the estimated amounts of the specific ranks among the plurality of ranks are determined as the specific assigned district combinations. As for the assigned district combination corresponding to the estimated amount after the specific place, it is determined whether or not the assigned district included in the assigned district combination has already been assigned. Further, it is determined whether or not the allocated district combination corresponding to the estimated amount after the specific rank is allocated to the already allocated business partner, and the allocated district included in the allocated district combination has already been allocated. If it is determined that the assigned district combination is not assigned to the already assigned business partner, the assigned district combination corresponding to the estimated amount after a specific place is temporarily assigned to the business partner. Then, when allocation is made for all of a plurality of preset districts, a combination of allocation districts and an estimated amount are associated with each other, and a temporary allocation list showing the total amount is generated, and a specific position is changed and nourishment Repeat the process. Thereafter, the temporary allocation list with the lowest total amount is selected as the allocation result list from the plurality of temporary allocation lists.

  In this way, since the estimate with the estimated amount described for each combination of assigned districts is obtained from the business partner, the combination of the assigned districts is sequentially assigned to the corresponding business partners in the order of the cheapest price. Considering that the supplier can estimate the estimated amount cheaply for the allotted district combination desired, it becomes easier for the business partner to purchase materials in the desired district, and the orderer should order the materials at a low cost. Will be able to. In other words, there is an effect that the orderer can purchase the material at a low cost, and the business partner can receive the desired district assignment as much as possible.

  Furthermore, since the above calculation is automatically performed to determine the ordering party, that is, the contracting party, it is possible to efficiently perform the ordering work even when purchasing a large amount of materials with a limited deadline. There is an effect that can be done.

  As is clear from the above description, in the above-described embodiment, the estimate request / reception unit 23 and the estimate rearrangement unit 24 function as rank determination means, and the allocation district determination unit 25 assigns allocation determination means (first And second temporary allocation means, first and second determination means, temporary allocation list generation means, activation means, and selection means). Moreover, the allocation district determination part 25 and the output part 27 function as an output means, and the allocation district determination part 25 and the communication control part 21 function as a transmission means.
