  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of order information according to the first embodiment. The order information stored in the order information DB 2 includes an “order number” for identifying an order, a “product code” for identifying the ordered product, a “product name” indicating the name of the ordered product, and a “quantity of the ordered product”. “Quantity”, “Destination Name” indicating the name of the destination of the ordered product, “Destination Address” indicating the address of the destination of the ordered product, “Order Date” indicating the order date, and the requested delivery date of the ordered product It consists of the items of “Requested delivery date” and “Domestic / Overseas division” indicating whether the order is sent to the domestic or overseas destination. The item “Domestic Overseas Category” does not have to be shipped only in Japan or overseas. The order information is not limited to the example of FIG. 2, but includes information for identifying the ordered product, information indicating the quantity of the ordered product, information indicating the destination of the ordered product, and information indicating the requested delivery date. It only has to be included.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of product information according to the first embodiment. The product information stored in the product information DB 3 includes a “product code” for identifying the product, a “product name” indicating the name of the product, an “individual packaging code” for identifying the individual packaging box of the product, and the packaging of the individual packaging box "Package" indicating the length of the individual packaging box, "Length" indicating the width of the individual packaging box, "Width" indicating the width of the individual packaging box, "Height" indicating the height of the individual packaging box, " "Product weight", "Domestic packing instruction quantity", which is the standard quantity of whether or not to instruct packing of products to be shipped in Japan, and shipping that is the standard of whether or not to instruct packing of products to be shipped overseas “Overseas packing instruction quantity”, which is a quantity, and “Individual shipment classification” indicating whether the product is not a packing instruction target.

  For domestic products, if the size of the individual packaging box is small and the shipment quantity is large, it is judged that there is a high possibility that the package will be broken apart and packing is instructed. . As with domestic products, packaging for overseas products is instructed when there are many shipments in order to mitigate impacts and as a measure to prevent cracks that would break apart multiple packages. In this way, the shipment quantity, which is the basis for whether or not to give the packing instruction set for each product according to the packing form and size of the individual packaging box, is the `` Domestic packing instruction quantity '' and `` Overseas packing instruction quantity '' in the product information It is registered in. Some products have a large product size and are provided with impact mitigation measures at the individual packaging stage. In the example of FIG. 3, for such a product, the “individual shipment classification” value of the product information is 1, and the product is not subject to packing instruction. The items of “domestic packing instruction quantity” and “overseas packing instruction quantity” need only be “domestic packing instruction quantity” or “overseas packing instruction quantity” when shipping only in Japan or overseas. The product information is not limited to the example of FIG. 3, information identifying the product, information identifying the individual packaging box of the product, information indicating the size of the individual packaging box of the product, information indicating the weight of the product, It is only necessary to include information indicating the shipment quantity as a reference for whether or not to instruct packing.

  Based on the order information and product information as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the packing instruction unit 11 determines a product to be packed, which is a target of packing, among the ordered products. For example, the packing instruction unit 11 reads the product information of the “product code” that is the same as the “product code” a-002001 of the order information whose “order number” is 100001 from the product information DB 3. Since the “individual shipment classification” of the read product information is 1, the packing instruction unit 11 determines that the product is not a packing instruction target.

  The packing instruction unit 11 reads the product information of the same “product code” as the “product code” b-002002 of the order information whose “order number” is 100002 from the product information DB 3. Since the “individual shipment classification” of the read product information is 0, the packing instruction unit 11 determines that the product is not a packing instruction target product. Since the “quantity” of the order information is 200, the “domestic / overseas classification” is domestic, and the “domestic packing instruction quantity” of the read product information is 30, the packing instruction unit 11 orders “order number” 100002. It is determined that the information product needs to be packed, and is determined as a product to be packed.

  The packing instruction unit 11 reads the product information of the “product code” that is the same as the “product code” c-002003 of the order information whose “order number” is 100003 from the product information DB 3. Since the “individual shipment classification” of the read product information is 0, the packing instruction unit 11 determines that the product is not a packing instruction target product. Since the “quantity” of the order information is 10, the “domestic / overseas classification” is overseas, and the “overseas packaging instruction quantity” of the read product information is 30, the packing instruction unit 11 has the order of “order number” 100003. It is determined that packaging of the information product is unnecessary. Note that the method for determining the product to be packed is not limited to this. For example, if the quantity of ordered products exceeds a certain number, it is automatically determined as a product to be packed, or all products to be sent overseas are to be packed. Or may be determined as Or the packing instruction | indication part 11 may acquire the order information of the packing scheduled product determined beforehand.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the packaging box information according to the first embodiment. The packing box information stored in the packing box information DB 4 includes a “boxing box code” for identifying the packing box, a “boxing box name” indicating the name of the packing box, and a packing form of the packing box “ `` Package '', `` Length '' indicating the length of the packaging box, `` Width '' indicating the width of the packaging box, `` Height '' indicating the height of the packaging box, Product that can be packed in the packaging box It consists of items of “maximum packing weight” indicating the maximum packing weight, which is the maximum weight, and “loading method” indicating the loading method of the collection box. The packaging box information is not limited to the example of FIG. 4 and includes information for identifying the packaging box, information indicating the size of the packaging box, and information indicating the maximum weight that can be packed in the packaging box. It only has to be. The packaging box setting unit 12 sets a packaging box for products to be packed based on the packaging box information as shown in FIG.

  For example, when setting the packing box of the product to be packed with “order number” 100002, the packing box setting unit 12 first sets the value of “maximum packing weight” of the packing box information of each packing box to “product”. Divide by the value of “product weight” in the product information of code “b-002002” to obtain the quantity that can be packed by weight. This is defined as the maximum number of packages in weight unit. The maximum number of weight units of the collection box in the “collection box code” DB00001 is 200 ÷ 5 = 40. The maximum number of weight units of the collection box of the “collection box code” DB00002 is 500 ÷ 5 = 100. The maximum number of weight units of the collection box in the “collection box code” DB00003 is 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

  Next, the packaging box setting unit 12 sets values of “length”, “width”, and “height” indicating the size of the packaging box of the packaging box information of each packaging box to “product code”. The quantity divided by the values of “length”, “width”, and “height” indicating the size of the individual packaging box of the product information of b-002002 is multiplied to obtain the quantity that can be packed in capacity. This is defined as the maximum number of packages in size units. The maximum number of packing units in the size of the packing box of the “boxing box code” DB00001 is 90 ÷ 15 × 90 ÷ 15 × 40 ÷ 20 = 72. The maximum number of packing units in a packing box size in the “packing box code” DB00002 is 90 ÷ 15 × 90 ÷ 15 × 60 ÷ 20 = 108. The maximum number of packing units in the size unit of the packing box of the “packing box code” DB00003 is 0 because the length and width are insufficient.

  The packaging box setting unit 12 compares the maximum number of packages in weight unit and the maximum number of packages in size unit, and sets the smaller value as the number of products in the packaging box. The packaging box setting unit 12 divides the value of “quantity” in the order information of “order number” 100002 by the value of the number of products in each packaging box, and stores each packaging box when the product to be packed is packed. Calculate the number of boxes. “Packing box code” DB00001 has 40 packing boxes, and the number of packing boxes is 200 ÷ 40 = 5. The number of products in the collection box of the “collection box code” DB00002 is 100, and the number of collection boxes is 200 ÷ 100 = 2. The collection box of the “collection box code” DB00003 cannot be used for the product of “product code” b-002002. The packaging box setting unit 12 sets the packaging box having the smallest number of packaging boxes as the packaging box of the product to be packed from the calculated result. Here, the packing boxes of the products to be packed having the “order number” 100002 are set to 2 packing boxes of the “packing box code” DB00002. If the number of packaging boxes is the same, the smaller packaging box is set. Moreover, the combination of the packing form of the individual packaging box and the packing form of the collection box may be limited, or a specific collection box may be used depending on the destination or the product.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a work time master according to the first embodiment. The work time master stored in the work time master DB 5 includes basic packing time information shown in FIG. 5A and packing fluctuation time information shown in FIG. The basic packing time information includes items of a “shipping box code” for identifying a packing box, and a “packing basic time” that is the total of the assembly time and the sealing work time of the packing box. The packaging fluctuation time information depends on the “individual box code” that identifies the individual box, the packing state of the individual box, the size of the individual box, the quantity of the individual package, and the weight of the individual package. The “packing fluctuation time” indicating the predetermined packing fluctuation time. Here, the unit of “basic packing time” and “packing fluctuation time” is seconds. The packing work time setting unit 13 sets the packing work time of the product to be packed based on the work time master as shown in FIG. The packing work time is calculated by the following formula: packing basic time of the packing box set by the packing box setting unit 12 × number of packing boxes + packing fluctuation time × product quantity.

  For example, when setting the packing work time of the product to be packed having the “order number” 100002, the packing work time setting unit 13 first sets the packing box of the “packing box code” DB00002 set by the packing box setting unit 12. And the package variation time information of the individual packaging of the “individual box code” AAB of the product information “product code” b-002002 are read from the work time master DB 5. The packing work time setting unit 13 sets “order” to the value obtained by multiplying the “packing basic time” 480 of the read packing basic time information by the number 2 of the collection boxes and the “packing fluctuation time” 20 of the read packing fluctuation time information. The packing work time of the product to be packed is calculated by adding the value obtained by multiplying the “quantity” 200 of the order information of the number “100002”. Here, since the packing work time of the product to be packed having the “order number” 100002 is 480 × 2 + 20 × 200 = 4960 (seconds), it is set to 1 hour and 23 minutes. The method of setting the packing work time is not limited to this. For example, the packing basic time set by the packing box setting unit 12 is multiplied by the number of packing boxes and the packing time is set at a predetermined additional time. The packing work time of the product to be packed may be calculated by adding a value obtained by multiplying the number of the product to be scheduled.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of transportation means information according to the first embodiment. The transport means information stored in the transport means information DB 6 includes a “destination name” indicating the name of the destination, a “transport means code” identifying the means of transport of the product to the destination, and a name of the means of transport of the product to the destination “ `` Transportation means name '', `` delivery margin days '' indicating the number of days for delivery of the transportation means, `` alternative transportation means code '' identifying the alternative transportation means of the transportation means, `` alternative transportation means name '' indicating the name of the alternative transportation means, and The item is composed of an item of “Alternative delivery deadline days” indicating the spare delivery deadlines days. When there is no alternative transportation means, the items of “alternative transportation means code”, “alternative transportation means name”, and “alternative delivery deadline days” may be omitted. The transportation means information is not limited to the example of FIG. 6, and it is sufficient that the transportation means information includes information indicating the destination and information indicating the number of days for delivery of the transportation means.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of on-site work amount information according to the first embodiment. The on-site work amount information stored in the on-site work amount information DB 7 includes the “worker code” for identifying the worker, the “worker name” for indicating the worker name, the “attendance date” for indicating the work day of the worker, and the worker. “Scheduled time to work” indicating the scheduled time of leaving the company, “Scheduled time to leave” indicating the scheduled time for the worker to leave the office, and “Overtime available hours” indicating the overtime hours that the worker can work on the working day , And “workable time” indicating the workable time during which the worker can perform packing work on work days.

  The available work time is determined by the scheduled time of leaving the office and the scheduled time of leaving the office and the already set packaging work. The worker determines the scheduled work leaving time, the scheduled leaving time, and the overtime hours as a site manager in advance, and registers the on-site work amount information in the on-site work amount information DB 7. The workable time is a time obtained by subtracting the already set packing work time of the product to be packed from the working time from the scheduled work time to the scheduled leaving time. For example, when the amount of work that can be performed in a day is limited by the environment of the packing work site such as the number of packing work tables and the number of packing lines, the available work time is further limited by such restrictions. In the example of FIG. 7, a workable time is registered for each worker.

  Basically, overtime hours are not included in the available work hours, and overtime hours can be worked only if the packing work time for the products scheduled for packing cannot be secured before the deadline for completing the packing of the ordered product. It is preferable that the time is included. The possible work time before the packing work time of the product to be packed is set is calculated from the “scheduled work time” and the “scheduled leaving time” by the packing candidate date setting unit 14 and registered in the “workable time”. The on-site work amount information is not limited to the example in FIG. 7, and may include information indicating a workable time during which the daily packing work at the packing work site can be performed. The packing candidate date setting unit 14 sets the packing candidate date of the product to be packed based on the transportation means information and the field work amount information as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

  For example, when setting the packing candidate date of the product to be packed having the “order number” 100002, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 first sets the “shipping name” same as the “shipping name” destination B in the order information of the “order number” 100002. ”Is read from the transport means information DB 6. The packing candidate date setting unit 14 sets 2015/4/1 one day before indicated by the “reserved delivery date” 2015/4/2 in the order information “order number” 100002 and the “delivery allowance days” in the read transportation means information. Set the deadline for completing the packing of the ordered product. When the transportation means indicated by the "transportation means code" and the "transportation means name" cannot be used for some reason or when the transportation means is changed, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 displays the "alternative transportation means code" and "alternative transportation means". Based on the “alternative delivery allowance days” of the alternative transportation means indicated by the “name”, a deadline for completing packing of the ordered product is set.

  Next, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 refers to the on-site work amount information, and is 1 hour and 23 minutes before 2015/4/1 and is the packing work time of the product to be packed with the “order number” 100002. Set the packing candidate date that can secure the package. For example, the scheduled packing date of “order number” 100002 is set to 2015/3/18. Here, it is assumed that the worker with “worker code” 100001 performs the packing work of the product to be packed with “order number” 100002. At this time, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 can perform the packing work of “workable time” in the field work amount information of “working date” 2015/3/18 of the worker of “worker code” 100001. From the available work time, 1 hour and 23 minutes, which is the packing work time of the product scheduled for packing of “order number” 100002, is subtracted.

  In the case where a plurality of workers perform packing work on the product to be packed, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 divides 1 hour and 23 minutes by the number of workers, It may be subtracted from the “Available time” value, or after weighting by the difference in the time required for the packing work each worker is in charge of, the “Workable time” value in the field work amount information of each worker is used. You may deduct. Alternatively, the “workable time” may be a time zone in which each worker can perform the packing work. In this case, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 sets a packing candidate date and a packing work time zone for packing the product to be packed. At this time, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 sets the packing work time from the time zone in which the packing work of “workable time” in the field work amount information of the worker who performs the packing work on the packing candidate date can be performed. Subtract the belt. Furthermore, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 may set not only the packing candidate date and the packing work time zone, but also a work order for packing the products to be packed.

The packing plan information may include information indicating an operator who performs a packing operation, information indicating a packing operation time zone in which the packing operation is performed, and information indicating a work order in which the packing operation is performed. For example, the packing plan planning unit 15 may display a schedule for each worker to pack each product scheduled for packing on the display screen, and the packing plan planning unit 15 may be used by the worker on the packing candidate date. The packing plan information indicating the packing work time zone for packing the product to be packed may be transmitted to the terminal to be packed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the packing plan planning process according to the first embodiment. The packaging planning process is repeatedly executed while the packaging planning apparatus 1 is activated. For example, it is executed periodically or whenever new order information is recorded in the order information DB 2. The packing instruction unit 11 of the packing plan planning apparatus 1 reads the order information newly stored in the order information DB 2 (step S11). The packing instruction unit 11 reads the product information of the ordered product from the product information DB 3 (step S12). Based on the read order information and product information, the packing instruction unit 11 determines whether or not the quantity of the ordered product exceeds the shipping quantity that is a reference for whether or not to give the packing instruction (step S13). If the standard shipment quantity is not exceeded (step S13; NO), the process is terminated. When exceeding the standard shipment quantity (step S13; YES), the packing instruction unit 11 determines the product as a product to be packed (step S14). The packing instruction unit 11 sends the order information and product information of the product to be packed to the collection box setting unit 12.

The packing work time setting unit 13 sends the order information of the packing scheduled product and the packing work time information indicating the set packing work time of the packing scheduled product to the packing candidate date setting unit 14.

  The packing candidate date setting unit 14 reads the transportation means information corresponding to the destination of the product to be packed from the transportation means information DB 6 (step S17). The packing candidate date setting unit 14 sets the packing candidate date of the packing scheduled product based on the read transportation means information, order information of the packing scheduled product, field work amount information, and packing work time information (step) S18). The packing candidate date setting unit 14 sends the order information of the packing planned product and the packing candidate date information indicating the packing candidate date of the set packing planned product to the packing planning unit 15. The packing plan planning unit 15 generates and outputs packing plan information indicating a packing candidate date for each packing planned product based on the order information of the packing scheduled product and the packing candidate date information (step S19), and performs processing. finish.

  As described above, according to the packing plan planning apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, the packing work is completed by setting the packing work date in consideration of the workable time during which the packing work can be performed at the packing work site. It is possible to prevent the deadline from being met or the packaging work cost from increasing due to overtime.

(Embodiment 2)
Products that have been packaged are temporarily stored.For example, the destination and requested delivery date, information indicating the packaging box containing the same order product, the number of packaging boxes containing the same order product, The product is shipped to the shipping destination according to a shipping instruction indicating the weight of the completed product, the transportation company, and the transportation means. There are various types of transportation means such as sea transportation by container, air transportation, truck transportation, etc., and the shipping date, shipping time, transportation days, and transportation cost are different. In addition, when it takes days to ship, a storage cost is required for storing in the finished product warehouse. In the second embodiment, the distribution cost of the product to be packed is calculated. The logistics cost is the sum of transportation cost, storage cost, packing work cost, cargo handling cost and arrangement cost.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a packing plan planning system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The packaging planning system 200 according to the second embodiment includes a logistics cost information DB 8 in addition to the configuration of the packaging planning system 100 according to the first embodiment. The packaging plan planning apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment includes a shipping plan planning unit 16 in addition to the functional configuration of the packaging plan planning apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. The packaging box setting unit 12 sends the packaging box information of the packaging box of the set product to be packed to the shipping plan planning unit 16. The packing candidate date setting unit 14 sets a packing candidate date and a packing work time zone for packing the product to be packed. Further, the packing candidate date setting unit 14 sends the transportation means information corresponding to the destination of the product to be packed to the shipping plan planning unit 16. The packing plan planning unit 15 generates packing plan information indicating a packing candidate date for performing packing work for each packing scheduled product and a packing work time zone. The packing plan planning unit 15 sends the order information of the packing planned product and the generated packing plan information to the shipping plan planning unit 16.

  The shipping plan planning unit 16 sets a shipping candidate date based at least on the packing plan information. For example, the shipment planning unit 16 sets the next day of the packing candidate date as the shipping candidate date. Alternatively, the shipping plan planning unit 16 sets the shipping candidate date on the date that can be shipped immediately after the determined shipping means after the packing candidate date. Note that if the shipping operation can be performed on the day when the shipping operation is completed, the packing candidate date may be set as the shipping candidate date. The shipment planning unit 16 may set not only the candidate shipping date but also a shipping work time zone in which the shipping work is performed in the shipping available time of the transportation means corresponding to the destination of the product to be packed, and the work order in which the shipping work is performed. May be set.

  The logistics cost information DB 8 includes information indicating the transportation cost for each means of transportation, information indicating the storage cost for each storage day, information indicating the packaging work cost for each work time, information indicating the handling cost for each cargo handling, Logistics cost information including information indicating the arrangement cost for each arrangement of conveyance equipment such as trucks and containers and conveyance materials is stored. The shipping plan planning unit 16 refers to the order information of the product to be packed, the transportation information corresponding to the destination of the product to be packed, and the information indicating the transportation cost for each transportation means included in the distribution cost information, Calculate the transportation cost of the product. The information indicating the transportation cost is, for example, a fare table for each transportation means. The transportation cost of the product to be packed is determined by the distance from the shipping source to the destination and the weight or volume of the product that has been packed, based on the determined fare table of the transportation means. In addition, when the transportation cost changes depending on the time, the transportation cost of the product to be packed is calculated based on the fare table of the time to which the shipping candidate date belongs.

  There is truck transportation as the main transportation means for the domestic market, and the charge system varies depending on the transportation means. Truck transport includes route, chartered and courier services. A route flight is a means of transportation that can be handled with a fare that is the sum of the weights of a single invoice if the destination is the same destination, and the shipping cost can be reduced by simultaneously transporting shipments from the same destination. It is the most easily selected means of transportation when the quantity is less than the stool. However, it is transported by the same truck as other shipper's shipments by the trunk line owned by the route company. Moreover, there are many cases where the time cannot be specified, and if it is specified, an additional fee may be charged. The charter flight is a transportation means in which a shipping source prepares a truck and a fare is generated for the truck. Since the transportation cost for loading the same truck is constant for the same destination, the transportation cost can be suppressed by stacking. The home delivery service is a transportation means that is transported by the same truck as the shipment of the other shipper like the route service. Unlike route flights, even if the destination is the same destination, it is not possible to add multiple pieces of luggage with a single invoice and the transportation cost tends to be expensive, but there is the advantage that you can specify the time. When there is a request from a shipping destination or when a route flight cannot be used, it may be used as an alternative transportation means for a route flight.

  Main transportation means for overseas are sea transportation or air transportation, and the charge system varies depending on the transportation means. Marine transportation includes FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load). FCL is a transportation means in which a shipping source prepares a marine transportation container, and the cost is determined by the transportation cost per container. In the case of the same container, the transportation cost is constant, and the transportation cost can be suppressed by stacking the shipments to the same destination. In addition, the number of container arrangements can be reduced by stacking, and the arrangement and cargo handling costs can be reduced. Details of arrangement costs and handling costs will be described later. On the other hand, LCL is a means to prepare a marine transport container by a shipping company and load it on the container together with other shippers' shipments. The transportation cost is determined according to the weight and volume of the shipment and the distance to the destination. Is done. In the case of air transportation, the transportation cost is determined based on the weight per package specified by the airline and the fare table of the destination.

  The shipping plan planning unit 16 refers to the order information of the product to be packed, the packing plan information, and the information indicating the storage cost for each storage day included in the distribution cost information, and calculates the storage cost of the product to be packed. The information indicating the storage cost is, for example, the storage cost per day in the storage warehouse and the storage cost per day in the packaged product warehouse. The storage cost is determined by the sum of the storage cost for the storage period in the storage warehouse before packing and the storage cost for the storage period in the packed product warehouse after packing.

  The shipping planning unit 16 refers to the order information of the product to be packed, the packing plan information, and the information indicating the packing work cost for each work time included in the distribution cost information, and calculates the packing work cost of the product to be packed. To do. The information indicating the packing work cost is, for example, a work unit price within a fixed time period, a work unit price within a fixed time period, and a work unit price outside the fixed time period. The packing work cost is the value obtained by multiplying the unit price within the regular time by the work time within the regular time in the regular package time, and the work unit outside the regular time and the work outside the regular time within the regular work period. It is determined by the sum of the value over time.

  The shipping plan planning unit 16 refers to the order information of the product to be packed, the transportation means information corresponding to the destination of the product to be packed, and the information indicating the handling cost for each cargo handling included in the distribution cost information, and the product to be packed Calculate the cargo handling cost. The information indicating the packing work cost is the cost for various cargo handling, such as the work cost when transporting the packed product to the packed product warehouse, the cost of loading the chartered flights into the truck, the vanning cost to the maritime shipping container, etc. is there. The handling cost is determined by the total cost of various types of handling required for shipment determined by the determined means of transportation and destination.

  The shipping plan planning unit 16 includes order information of the products scheduled for packing, transportation means information corresponding to the destination of the products scheduled for packing, and information indicating the arrangement cost for each arrangement of the transportation equipment and the transportation material included in the distribution cost information. Refer to it and calculate the arrangement cost for the product to be packed. The information indicating the arrangement cost is, for example, expenses for various arrangements such as arrangement costs for chartered trucks and arrangement costs for overseas shipping containers. The arrangement cost is determined by the total cost of various arrangements necessary for shipment determined by the determined transportation means and destination.

  The shipment planning unit 16 calculates the distribution cost of the product to be packed by adding the calculated transportation cost, storage cost, packing work cost, cargo handling cost, and arrangement cost. The shipping plan planning unit 16 outputs shipping plan information indicating a shipping candidate date for each product to be packed, shipping logistics cost information indicating the calculated logistics cost of the product to be packed, and packing plan information. The output of the shipping plan information, the shipping logistics cost information and the packing plan information may be displayed on the screen or may be output to the outside. The shipping logistics cost information may be information indicating each cost, not a logistics cost that is a sum of transportation cost, storage cost, packing work cost, cargo handling cost, and arrangement cost. Other functional configurations of the packing plan planning apparatus 1 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  As described above, according to the packing plan planning apparatus 1 of the second embodiment, the distribution when the packing work is performed according to the packing plan information generated by the packing plan planning apparatus 1 and the work is performed according to the shipping plan information. The site manager can grasp the cost. This facilitates, for example, the site manager to correct the packing work date and the shipping candidate date.

(Embodiment 3)
The configuration of the packing plan planning system of the third embodiment and the functional configuration of the packing plan planning device 1 are the same as those of the second embodiment. In the third embodiment, the shipping plan planning unit 16 updates the packing plan information and the shipping plan information so that the distribution cost is minimized. In addition, the shipping plan planning unit 16 updates the packing plan information and the shipping plan information within a range that keeps the requested delivery date for all shipments. For example, when a route flight is used as a domestic transportation means, the transportation cost becomes smaller as packages of the same destination are collected on the same day. When using a chartered flight as a domestic means of transportation, the transportation cost decreases as the packages of the same destination are grouped on the same day and the loading ratio of the truck increases. The shipping plan planning unit 16 stores the conditions for reducing such logistics costs, and simulates transportation costs, arrangement costs and cargo handling costs when all domestic transportation methods are used. Adopt a means of transportation that minimizes the sum of costs and handling costs.

  If there are products that have been packed more than the number of chartered trucks, all of them may be routed, multiple chartered trucks may be arranged, and both routed and chartered flights Although it may be used, a transportation means with a lower logistics cost is adopted. Domestic transportation costs are minimized by packing and shipping shipments from the same destination on the same day, regardless of whether the route or charter is used. Therefore, the shipment planning unit 16 changes the packing candidate date and the shipping candidate date so as to pack the shipments of the same destination on the same day as long as the requested delivery date can be observed.

  Since the unit price of work outside the fixed hours is higher than the unit price of work during the fixed hours, in Embodiment 1, the overtime hours are basically not included in the available work hours, and the packaging of the ordered product is completed. It has been stated that it is preferable to configure so that the overtime hours are included in the available work hours only when the packing work time of the product to be packed cannot be secured before the deadline. However, domestic transportation costs are minimized by packing and shipping shipments from the same destination on the same day. When becomes smaller, it is changed to a packing candidate date and a shipping candidate date that require work outside the scheduled time.

  Sea transportation, which is a means of transportation for overseas, differs depending on FCL and LCL. In the case of FCL, the transportation cost is determined by the number of containers as in the case of domestic chartered flights. Therefore, the higher the loading rate of the container, the smaller the transportation cost. Since the size of the packaging box of the product to be packed, the packaging, and the weight of the finished product have already been determined, the shipping planning unit 16 uses the loading simulator and the container loading rate is the highest. As a result, the packing candidate date and the shipping candidate date are changed so that the container loading rate is the highest within the range that can meet the requested delivery date. In this case, the shipping plan planning unit 16 acquires set packaging box information including information indicating the size and packaging shape of the packaging box of the product to be packed from the packaging box setting unit 12. Similar to domestic shipment, the shipping plan planning unit 16 determines the packing candidate date and shipping candidate that require overtime work if the overall logistics cost is reduced even if the packing work is done outside of the scheduled time. Change the day. If the shipment quantity is large and exceeds the maximum load capacity of the container, multiple FCL containers may be arranged, or some of them may be transported by LCL. adopt.

  In the case of LCL, unlike the case of FCL, transportation costs are incurred for each packing box, so the priority of changing the packing work plan is low, the work load on the site is low, and the packing work is performed within a fixed time. Logistics costs can be minimized. Since the available work hours are limited depending on the day, the total logistics cost is minimized by delaying the packing work date and time of part of the shipment of LCL and switching to air transportation only when the overall logistics cost is small. In this case, the shipment planning unit 16 changes to air transportation and changes the packing candidate date and the shipping candidate date.

  The storage cost is determined by the sum of the storage cost before packing and the storage cost after packing. Depending on the packing material and the buffer, the volume or the bottom area before packing and after packing often becomes larger after packing. Depending on the contract method, storage costs are often determined by volume or bottom area. Therefore, since the volume or bottom area at the time of storage is reduced by moving the packing date back as far as possible, the storage cost is reduced. However, for example, when the storage cost is calculated for each determined period, the storage cost is minimized by packing together immediately after the determined period is exceeded. In consideration of the storage cost and the workable time, if the overall logistics cost is minimized by changing the packing candidate date, the shipping plan planning unit 16 changes the packing candidate date and the shipping candidate date. Note that this does not apply when there are no fluctuation factors, such as when renting a warehouse, that is, when the storage cost does not depend on the quantity in the warehouse.

  The packing work cost is minimized by increasing the work time within the fixed time and reducing the work time outside the fixed time. If the number of products to be packed is large and the entire packing work time is large, the work hours outside the regular hours are reduced by hiring temporary workers. In this case, the shipping plan making unit 16 outputs instruction information indicating an instruction to hire a temporary worker when the working time outside the regular time exceeds a predetermined threshold. The instruction information may be output on the screen or output to the outside.

  The cargo handling cost is the work cost when loading a chartered flight into a truck or vanning a container. Although it depends on the fee structure, if the cost is determined by the truck or container, the cargo handling cost can be minimized by increasing the loading rate as well as the transportation cost. When the cargo handling cost is determined by the number of times the cargo is handled in the packaging box, the shipping plan planning unit 16 employs a transportation means that minimizes the sum of the transportation cost and the cargo handling cost.

  Arrangement costs are incurred when allocating a chartered truck or a container. Although it varies depending on the fee structure, if it is calculated based on the arrangement cost per vehicle, the arrangement cost can be minimized by increasing the loading rate and reducing the number of arrangements in the same way as the transportation cost. If the number of arrangements does not change at the same time but changes depending on the number of arrangements, the arrangement cost can be minimized by making arrangements so that the number of arrangements on the same day is reduced.

  The shipping plan planning unit 16 changes the transportation means, the packing candidate date, and the shipping candidate date in all patterns until the total of the transportation cost, which is the distribution cost, the storage cost, the packing work cost, the handling cost, and the arrangement cost is minimized. To update the packing plan information and the shipping plan information indicating the packing candidate date and shipping candidate date at which the logistics cost is minimized. The shipping plan planning unit 16 outputs the updated packing plan information and shipping plan information. In addition, when the packing plan information includes information indicating the packing work time zone in which the packing work is performed and the work order in which the packing work is performed, the logistics cost as described above is minimized in consideration of the packing work time zone and the work order. Process. Similarly, when the shipping plan information includes information indicating the shipping work time zone in which the shipping work is performed and the work order in which the shipping work is performed, the logistics cost as described above is minimized in consideration of the shipping work time zone and the work order. Process.

  The shipping plan planning unit 16 may execute the distribution cost minimizing process in accordance with the timing of the packing plan planning process, or may execute it periodically. For example, if distribution cost minimization processing is performed before the worker's departure time every day, the packing plan information and shipping plan information for that day are fixed. Taking into account the newly increased packing planned products, the distribution cost minimization process is performed, and the packing plan information and the shipping plan information are updated, so that the distribution cost can always be minimized. Other functional configurations of the packing plan planning apparatus 1 are the same as those in the second embodiment.

  As described above, according to the packing plan planning apparatus 1 of the third embodiment, even if the site manager does not correct the packing work date and the shipping candidate date, the packing work information and the shipping candidate information are automatically updated, Logistics costs can be minimized.

  In the first to third embodiments, the order information DB2, the product information DB3, the packing box information DB4, the work time master DB5, the transportation means information DB6, the on-site work amount information DB7, and the logistics cost information DB8 are defined as the packing plan planning apparatus 1.
