  Next, the operation management procedure and operation of the equipment 30 using the equipment operation management system 1 will be described.

  FIG. 3 shows a procedure for lending the equipment 30 to the operator contractor 37 by the equipment manager 37. In step S51 of FIG. 3, processing related to the rental of the equipment 30 is started, and in step S52, the operator 30 reserves the equipment 30. As shown in FIG. 7, the reservation of the equipment 30 is required by the operator contractor 37 reading the information on his / her ID card 32 through the bar code reader 31 a of the personal computer 31 and then using the keyboard of the personal computer 31. This is done by inputting information related to the equipment 30 to the personal computer 31. This reservation is made by a predetermined time (0:00 pm) the day before using the equipment 30. That is, since the reservation table of FIG. 7 is displayed on the personal computer 31, “where” and “how many” equipment 30 are input to the reservation table tomorrow.

  Next, in step S53, reservations for the equipment 30 from all operator contractors 37 are closed. As described above, the reservation of the equipment 30 by the operator 37 is closed at, for example, 0:00 on the day before the rental date of the equipment 30, but a provisional deadline on the other day is also possible. That is, in this embodiment, the provisional deadline of the reservation from the operator contractor 37 for the next day (the next work day) is possible, and by displaying the provisional list of reservations and the equipment allocation table to the operator contractor 37, It is possible to prompt confirmation of reservation contents and to promptly input reservation information more accurately.

  When the reservation of the equipment 30 from the operator contractor 37 is closed, the process proceeds to step S54, and the overall control means 13 grasps the operation status of the equipment 30 on the equipment manager 37 side. That is, in step S54, the overall control means 13 grasps whether there is an excess or deficiency in the equipment 30 managed by the equipment manager 37 from the reservation information, rental information, and return information of the equipment 30, and Displays the shortage. Based on the information from the overall control means 13, the equipment manager 36 presupposes that the procurement of the equipment 30 from the rental dealer 38 is minimized as much as possible, Make additional orders.

  FIG. 8 shows the reservation list 48 and the equipment allocation table 49 created by the overall control means 13. The reservation list 48 totals and displays the reservation contents of each operator contractor 37, and the equipment allocation table 49 displays the allocation of the equipment 30 to each operator contractor 37. Here, since it is possible to confirm that “what”, “where”, and “how many” are insufficient, the equipment manager 36 grasps the excess or shortage of the equipment 30, adjusts the number of operators with each operator contractor 37, and needs it. Accordingly, the equipment 30 is ordered from the rental company 38.

  In step S54, when the operation status of the equipment 30 on the equipment manager 37 side is grasped, the operation proceeds to step S55, and the overall control means 13 automatically assigns the equipment 30 to the operator contractor 37 for reservation. As described above, when the same equipment 30 is continuously used by the same operator 37, the overall control means 13 assigns the same equipment 30 to the same operator contractor 37 with the highest priority, The empty equipment 30 in the work area is preferentially assigned to the operator contractor 37 who performs work in the same work area. In this way, the overall control means 13 grasps the excess or deficiency of the equipment 30 possessed from the reservation information and return information of the equipment 30 in terms of construction, thereby ordering the equipment 30 that is insufficient and returning the surplus equipment 30. To the equipment manager 36, it is possible to efficiently move the equipment 30 in the construction section.

  FIG. 11 shows an outline of the equipment lending process from the equipment manager 36 to the operator contractor 37. When renting equipment from the equipment manager 36 to the operator trader 37, it is necessary to read the ID card 32 and the barcode 34 as shown in step S56 of FIG. The ID card 32 and the barcode 34 are read via the barcode reader 18, as shown in FIG. When the reading of the ID card 32 and the barcode 34 is completed, the process proceeds to step S57, and it is determined whether or not the reading result matches the reservation content. If it is determined that the read result and the reservation content do not match, the process proceeds to step S60, and it is determined that the rental is not possible. That is, when an operator contractor 37 who has not made a reservation requests lending, it is determined that lending is not possible, and the reliability of the system can be ensured.

  If it is determined in step S57 that the read result matches the reservation content, the process proceeds to step S58, and the reserved equipment 30 is lent to the operator contractor 37. In step S59, the loan slip 43 shown in FIG. 18 is printed out by the output means 22 including a printer. Since the rental slip 43 clearly indicates in which work area of the building the equipment 30 is located, the location where the equipment 30 is stored can be easily grasped. When the rental slip 43 is printed out, the process proceeds to step S61, and the processing from the reservation of the equipment 30 to the rental is completed.

  FIG. 4 and FIG. 12 show a procedure for lending equipment that is not in the reservation. The process is started in step S71 of FIG. 4, and the operator company 37 presents the ID card 32 to the equipment manager 36 in step S72. Next, the process proceeds to step 73, where the availability information of the equipment 30 is displayed on the screen of the computer 11 on the equipment manager 36 side. Next, the process proceeds to step S74, and the overall control means 13 determines whether or not the equipment 30 that the operator contractor 37 wants to use is available. Here, if it is determined that the equipment 30 is not available, the process proceeds to step S77, where it is examined whether or not there is a substitute equipment for the equipment 30. If there is an alternative equipment 30, the equipment 30 is rented out to an operator 37.

  In step S74, if it is determined by the overall control means 13 that the operator 30 wants to use the equipment 30 to be used, the overall control means 13 proceeds to step S75, and the bar code attached to the information on the ID card 32 and the key 33 of the equipment 30. The information 34 is read by the barcode reader 18. 18 is printed out by the output means 22, and the equipment 30 is lent out. When the lending form 43 is printed out, the process proceeds to step S78, and the lending process for the equipment 30 that is not reserved is completed.

  5 and 13 show the procedure for returning the equipment 30. FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the return process of the equipment 30 is started in step S <b> 81, and the information of the barcode 34 attached to the key 33 is read via the barcode reader 18 in step S <b> 82. Next, the equipment return menu of the computer 11 is activated, and a menu as to whether or not the place where the equipment 30 is used is changed is displayed on the screen of the computer 11. Next, proceeding to step S83, a selection is made as to whether or not the location where the equipment 30 is used has been changed. Here, if it is selected that the use location of the equipment 30 has not been changed, the process proceeds to step S85. If it is selected in step S83 that the location of use of the equipment 30 has been changed, the process proceeds to step S84, where the location of use is input via the input means 22.

  Next, proceeding to step S85, the key 33 is returned from the operator contractor 37 to the equipment manager 36. In step S86, the return management means 17 determines whether or not all the keys 33 lent to the operator contractor 37 have been returned.
