In this case, the external device configured to be able to communicate with the stock management device 10 includes the storage unit 11. The stock management device 10 and the external device are configured to be communicable. Then, the stock management device 10 accesses the information stored in the storage unit 11 and executes a predetermined process. The said premise is the same in all the following embodiments.

  The storage unit 11 stores the stock quantity of each product and the product classification code. The storage unit 11 can store the stock quantity of each product in each of a plurality of storage places. There is no particular limitation on how to store such information. In the present embodiment, the storage unit 11 stores inventory information in which the product code of each product, the number of items in stock, and the product classification code are associated with each other.

  An example of the stock information which the memory | storage part 11 memorize | stores in FIG. 3 is shown typically. The illustrated inventory information includes an arrival code, an arrival date, an article code, an article name, an arrival quantity, an item classification code, an expiration date, a storage location, a shipment code, a shipment date, and a shipment quantity. Are associated with each other. The stock information may further include other information, or may not include part of the exemplified ones.

  Inventory information is updated according to the arrival process and the shipping process. The updating of the stock information is realized by the acquiring unit 14, the assigning unit 15, and the updating unit 16. Hereinafter, each functional unit will be described by being divided into the arrival processing and the shipping processing.

<Delivery process>
The acquisition unit 14 acquires arrival information including the code (product code) of the received product and the number of items received (the number of items received). The arrival information may further include other information such as the trade name, the expiration date, the storage location, and the arrival code of each product received.

  For example, a worker performs a receiving operation when goods are received. In the arrival work, the worker inputs arrival information into a terminal device equipped with a communication function, and causes the stock management device 10 to transmit it.

  The terminal device may have a function of reading a code such as a bar code or a two-dimensional code, for example. Then, the input of arrival information to the terminal device causes the terminal device to read a code (a bar code, a two-dimensional code, etc.) attached to each product, a package of each product, or a container containing a plurality of products. May be realized.

  In addition, the terminal device may include an input device such as a touch panel display and a physical key. And, the input of the arrival information to the terminal device may be realized by direct input via these input devices.

  In addition, the worker may input a plurality of types of information to the terminal device by combining the above two input means. The terminal device may be a smartphone or a tablet, or may be a dedicated terminal device compatible with the stock management device 10.

  The giving unit 15 gives a merchandise category code corresponding to the merchandise code included in the arrival information to the arrival information. The assignment unit 15 specifies the commodity classification code corresponding to the commodity code included in the arrival information based on the correspondence information in which the commodity code and the commodity classification code are associated with each other. Then, the assignment unit 15 assigns the identified commodity classification code to the arrival information.

Examples of the product category include "drinking water", "paper diaper (size S)", "paper diaper (size M)", "paper diaper (size L)", "cracker" and the like. The products of the same type and different in capacity may be divided into different product categories. As an example of the product category in this case, “drinking water: 2 l”, “drinking water: 500 ml”, “paper diaper (size S): 50 sheets”, “paper diaper (size S): 100 sheets”, etc. are illustrated Be done.

  The updating unit 16 updates the stock information based on the arrival information given the item classification code. That is, the update unit 16 adds new arrival information to the inventory information as shown in FIG. When new arrival information is added, shipping related information (shipping code shown, shipping date, shipping quantity, etc.) may not be entered.

  Here, an example of the receiving operation will be described using the flow of FIG. As shown in (1), the supplier (supplier) returns an answer (whether the order can be accepted, the delivery date, etc.) to the order received from the receiving side. Then, as shown in (2), the receiving party confirms the reply from the vendor and registers it in the own system. As a result, order information and its response are accumulated.

  As shown in (3) and (4), when the goods arrive at the receiver, the worker at the receiver performs the receiving work. For example, a worker who carries out a delivery operation operates a terminal device to display a login screen to a website of a predetermined service (storage material management service) (see FIG. 6). The worker inputs a user ID (identifier) and a password on the login screen, and presses the “login button”. Then, the input user ID and password are sent to the web server. The web server performs an authentication process based on the received information. If the authentication is successful, the web server transmits a menu screen as shown in FIG. 7 to the terminal device.

  The worker who performs the arrival work presses the "arrival button" on the menu screen shown in FIG. Then, that effect is transmitted from the terminal device to the web server. In response to this, the web server returns predetermined information to the terminal device. As a result, information as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the terminal device.

  The information shown in FIG. 8 includes a "arrival base selection" item and a "stock schedule confirmation" item. In the receiving base selection item, the selection of the receiving base (storage place of the product) is accepted. In the figure, the drop-down list accepts the selection of the receiving site, but other graphical user interface (GUI) components may be used.

  When one receiving base is selected, the arrival schedule information at the receiving base is displayed. In FIG. 8, three pieces of arrival schedule information are displayed in order from the one closest to the current arrival date. Each includes “scheduled arrival date”, “vendor”, “arrival slip number (arrival code)”, and “number of units”. The plurality of pieces of arrival schedule information are divided in units of arrival delivery number. These displays can be realized based on information on ordering information to suppliers, information accumulated from responses to suppliers on ordering, and the like.

  The worker who performs the receiving operation selects the receiving base that performs the receiving operation on the screen shown in FIG. 8, and then selects the receiving schedule information corresponding to the product to be subjected to the receiving operation in the item “confirm arrival schedule”. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the detailed information corresponding to the selected arrival schedule information is displayed on the terminal device. After confirming the detailed information, the worker presses the “inspection item button”. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, a screen for inputting information (arrival information) regarding the product actually received is displayed on the terminal device.

  The worker may directly input arrival information such as the product name, the product code, and the expiration date of the received product. In addition, the worker may input arrival information by reading a code (a bar code, a two-dimensional code, etc.) given to a received product, a product package, or a container containing a plurality of products. Good. In this case, the worker presses the "camera start button" on the screen shown in FIG. Then, the camera function of the terminal device is activated, and a screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the terminal device.

  The screen shown in FIG. 11 includes a finder. A frame W is displayed on the finder. The worker adjusts the direction of the camera (terminal device) and the like, displays the inspection object on the finder, and puts the code assigned to the inspection object in the frame W. Then, the user presses the "shooting button" while maintaining the state.

  Then, the terminal device analyzes the photographed code and extracts predetermined information. Also, the screen displayed on the terminal returns to FIG. At this time, arrival information (eg, product name, product code, expiration date, etc.) extracted from the code is displayed in a predetermined input field (not shown).

  After inputting the arrival information on the screen shown in FIG. 10, the worker presses the "Done" button. Then, the terminal device transmits the input arrival information to the stock management device 10. The acquisition unit 14 of the stock management device 10 acquires the arrival information transmitted from the terminal device in this manner.

  In addition, when a code (a barcode, a two-dimensional code, etc.) is given to the container which accommodated several goods, the operation | work which opens a container at the time of arrival operation can be omitted, and it is preferable. Moreover, the operation of opening the container at the time of shipping operation and inventory operation can be omitted, which is preferable. The code may be given to the container by the supplier as shown in (6) of FIG. 5 or by the receiving side as shown in (5) of FIG. The code given to the container containing a plurality of products represents information indicating the products stored in the container, information indicating the number of the products, and the like (the same applies hereinafter).

<Shipment processing>
The acquisition unit 14 acquires shipping information (the former) including a code (commodity code) of a product to be shipped and the number (shipped number) to be shipped. The shipping information may further include other information such as shipping code, product name of each product to be shipped, arrival code upon arrival of each product to be shipped, expiration date, storage location and the like.

  For example, the worker carries out the shipping operation according to the shipping of the product. In the shipping operation, the worker inputs shipping information into a terminal device provided with a communication function and causes the stock management device 10 to transmit it.

  The terminal device may have a function of reading a code such as a bar code or a two-dimensional code, for example. Then, the input of the shipping information to the terminal device causes the terminal device to read a code (a bar code, a two-dimensional code, etc.) given to each product, a package of each product, or a container containing a plurality of products. May be realized.

  In addition, the terminal device may include an input device such as a touch panel display and a physical key. And the input of the shipping information to the terminal device may be realized by direct input via these input devices.

  In addition, the worker may input a plurality of types of information to the terminal device by combining the above two input means. The terminal device may be a smartphone or a dedicated terminal device compatible with the stock management device 10.

  The updating unit 16 updates the stock information based on the shipping information. That is, the updating unit 16 adds new shipping information to the stock information as shown in FIG.

  Here, an example of the shipping operation will be described using the flow of FIG. As shown in (1), the shipping base registers shipping schedule information in its own system. As shown in (2), the worker who carries out the shipping operation performs picking based on the registered shipping schedule information.

  Then, the worker who carries out the shipping work registers the shipping as shown in (3). For example, a worker who carries out a shipping operation operates a terminal device to display a login screen to a website of a predetermined service (storage material management service) (see FIG. 6). The worker inputs the user ID and the password on the login screen, and presses the “login button”. Then, the input user ID and password are sent to the web server. The web server performs an authentication process based on the received information. If the authentication is successful, the web server transmits a menu screen as shown in FIG. 7 to the terminal device.

  The worker who carries out the shipping operation presses the "shipment button" on the menu screen shown in FIG. Then, that effect is transmitted from the terminal device to the web server. In response to this, the web server returns predetermined information to the terminal device. As a result, information as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the terminal device.

  The information shown in FIG. 13 includes a “shipment base selection” item and a “shipment schedule confirmation” item. In the shipping site selection item, the selection of the shipping site is accepted. In the figure, the drop-down list accepts the selection of the shipping site, but other GUI parts may be used. When one shipping site is selected, shipping schedule information at that site is displayed. In FIG. 13, three pieces of shipping schedule information are displayed in order from the one closest to the current shipping date. Each includes “scheduled shipping date”, “shipping destination”, “shipment slip number (shipping code)”, and “total number of goods issue”. A plurality of pieces of shipping schedule information are divided by shipping document number. These displays can be realized based on information received from the shipping destination, information obtained by accumulating responses to the supplier for the received order, and the like.

  The worker who carries out the shipping operation selects the shipping base where the shipping operation is to be performed on the screen shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, detailed information corresponding to the selected shipping schedule information is displayed on the terminal device. After confirming the detailed information, the worker presses the “inspection item button”. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, a screen for inputting information (shipment information) related to a product actually shipped (or a product actually shipped) is displayed on the terminal device.

  The worker who carries out the shipping operation may directly input shipping information such as the product name of the product to be shipped (or shipped), the product code, the expiration date and the like. In addition, the worker who carries out the shipping operation reads the shipping information by reading a code (a bar code, a two-dimensional code, etc.) attached to the product to be shipped, the package of the product, or a container containing a plurality of products. You may enter it. In this case, the worker presses the "camera start button" on the screen shown in FIG. Then, the camera function of the terminal device is activated, and a screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the terminal device.

  The screen shown in FIG. 11 includes a finder. A frame W is displayed on the finder. The worker adjusts the direction of the camera (terminal device) and the like, displays the inspection object on the finder, and puts the code assigned to the inspection object in the frame W. Then, the user presses the "shooting button" while maintaining the state.

  Then, the terminal device analyzes the photographed code and extracts predetermined information. Also, the screen displayed on the terminal returns to FIG. At this time, shipping information (eg, product name, product code, expiration date, etc.) extracted from the code is displayed in a predetermined input field (not shown).

  After inputting the shipping information on the screen shown in FIG. 10, the worker presses the "Done" button. Then, the terminal device transmits the input shipping information to the stock management device 10. The acquisition unit 14 of the stock management device 10 acquires the shipping information transmitted from the terminal device in this manner.

  Thereafter, if there is no problem, the product is shipped as shown in (4) of FIG. Further, the fact that it has been shipped, and tracking data of goods are registered in the system at any time, and as shown in (5) of FIG. 12, the receiving party can confirm the information.

  Next, according to the inventory management apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, inventory inquiry can be performed based on the inventory information stored in the storage unit 11. According to the stock management device 10, it is possible to perform stock inquiry of each product category. The stock inquiry is realized by the calculation unit 12 and the output unit 13.

  The calculation unit 12 calculates the stock amount corresponding to each item classification code, that is, the stock amount for each item category, based on the information (for example, inventory information) stored in the storage unit 11. The output unit 13 outputs the calculation result by the calculation unit 12. The output by the output unit 13 is realized via any output device such as a display, a mailer, a printer, and a projection device.

  The calculating unit 12 may calculate the stock amount for each product category every time the stock information is updated, and may store the result in the storage unit 11. Then, the output unit 13 may output the calculation result stored in the storage unit 11. In addition, the calculation unit 12 may calculate the stock amount for each product category before output each time it is output by the output unit 13. Then, the output unit 13 may output the calculation result calculated immediately before by the calculation unit 12. The output unit 13 outputs, for example, the stock amount for each item category in response to a request from the user.

  Here, an example of information (inventory amount) calculated by the calculation unit 12 will be described.

<Calculation example 1>
The calculation unit 12 may calculate the total stock quantity for each merchandise category by adding up the stock quantities of each of the plurality of articles having the same merchandise category code.

<Calculation example 2>
The calculation unit 12 may calculate the total stock capacity for each category corresponding to each commodity classification code based on commodity capacity information indicating the capacity per one commodity for each commodity code or each commodity classification code .

  FIG. 15 is a view schematically showing an example of the product volume information. In the illustrated example, the capacity per product of each commodity is indicated for each commodity classification code. The volume is expressed in various units such as "l (liter)", "ml (milliliter)", "sheet", "individual" and the like. The calculation unit 12 can calculate the product of the total stock quantity of each product category and the capacity per product corresponding to each product category as the total stock capacity for each category. The storage unit 11 may store product capacity information.

<Calculation example 3>
Products of the same type but with different capacities exist. In the present embodiment, products of the same type but having different capacities are classified into different product categories, and different product category codes are assigned. As an example of the product category in this case, “drink water: 2 l” and “drink water: 500 ml”, “paper diaper (size S): 50 sheets” and “paper diaper (size S): 100 sheets”, etc. It is illustrated.

  In view of such a situation, the calculation unit 12 may calculate the total stock capacity for each product type obtained by adding together the total stock capacity for each category of the plurality of product category codes of the same type and different capacity.

  For example, in the case where the total stock capacity per division of “drink water: 2 l” is “1000 l” and the total stock capacity per division of “drink water: 500 ml” is “500 l”, the calculation unit 12 adds them together It is possible to calculate “1500 l” as the total stock capacity of each commodity type of the commodity type “drinking water”.

  In this case, the storage unit 11 may store a plurality of product category codes corresponding to products of the same type but different in capacity in association with each other. Then, the calculation unit 12 may calculate the total stock amount for each product type using the information. FIG. 16 is a conceptual diagram in which a plurality of commodity classification codes corresponding to commodities of the same kind and a difference in capacity are associated with each other. In the case of the illustrated example, the item classification code 000001 and the item classification code 000002 are associated with each other as items of the same type but different in capacity.

<Calculation example 4>
The storage unit 11 may store usage amount information indicating a usage amount per predetermined unit for each product category code or for each same type product. FIG. 17 schematically shows an example of the usage information. The usage amount per predetermined unit may be, for example, “use amount per serving”, “use amount per person”, “use amount per day”, etc., but is not limited thereto.

  Then, based on the usage amount information, the calculation unit 12 converts the total stock capacity per category or the total stock capacity per commodity type into the predetermined unit. That is, the total stock capacity per category or the total stock capacity per commodity type is divided by the usage per predetermined unit. As a result, the stock amount is expressed in the above-mentioned predetermined unit, such as "○○ food portion", "○○ portion", "○ day" and the like.

<Calculation example 5>
The calculation unit 12 uses the expiration date in the inventory amount (total inventory quantity, total inventory capacity per category, total inventory capacity per commodity type, the amount represented by the predetermined unit) calculated in each of the calculation examples 1 to 4 You may calculate the stock quantity of the goods in which the remaining days until it is less than a standard value (design item). That is, the calculation unit 12 may calculate, for each commodity category, the stock amount of the commodity whose remaining number of days until the expiration date is below the reference value (design item).

  In addition, the calculation unit 12 is included in the inventory amount (total inventory number, total inventory volume by category, inventory total volume by commodity type, volume represented by the above-mentioned predetermined unit) for each commodity category calculated in Calculation examples 1 to 4 You may calculate the stock quantity of the goods in which the remaining days until the expiration date exceed the reference value (design item). That is, the calculation unit 12 may calculate, for each product category, the stock amount of the product for which the remaining number of days until the expiration date exceeds the reference value (design item).

Calculation Example 6
The calculation unit 12 may calculate the stock amount calculated in the calculation examples 1 to 5 for each storage location. In addition, the calculation unit 12 may calculate the stock amount calculated in the calculation examples 1 to 5 collectively for all the storage places.

  The output unit 13 outputs, for example, the calculation result calculated based on the calculation examples 1 to 6. The output unit 13 may output the calculation result of one storage place designated by the user, or may collectively display the calculation results of a plurality of storage places. The output unit 13 may display the calculation result by the calculation unit 12 in a tabular form, map it in correspondence with the storage location of the stock on a map, and may display it in another form.

  Next, the operation and effect of the stock management device 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

  According to the stock management device 10 of the present embodiment, the user can grasp the stock amount for each product category. When managing the stock situation of the stockpile for disasters, it is desirable to manage the stock situation for each predetermined commodity category such as "drinking water" and "paper diaper (size M)". According to the stock management device 10 of the present embodiment, such desired stock status can be managed. That is, the stock management device 10 of the present embodiment is a device suitable for managing the stock status of the disaster stockpile.

  Further, according to the stock management device 10 of the present embodiment, the stock amount of the disaster stockpile can be managed in a unit suitable for managing the stock situation of the disaster stockpile. For example, the stock management device 10 may calculate the total amount of stock for each product category, the total amount of stock for each product type, or a predetermined unit amount calculated by dividing these amounts by the usage amount per predetermined unit (e.g. It is possible to manage by "○○ food portion", "○○ portion", "○○ day portion", etc.). Since the capacity may differ from product to product, it is not possible to accurately grasp the amount that can actually be used at the time of disaster only by managing the number of stock items. The stock management device 10 of the present embodiment, which can manage the stock capacity in the total capacity and the predetermined unit, is a device suitable for managing the stock status of the disaster stockpile.

  In addition, the stock management device 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of calculating a commodity classification code from a predetermined commodity code (assignment unit 15). For this reason, there is no need for the operator to perform the operation of associating the item classification code with the items in stock.

  Further, according to the stock management device 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to calculate and output the stock amount near the consumption deadline, the stock amount with a sufficient delay until the consumption deadline, and the like for each product category. According to such information, the manager who manages the stock can ensure the amount to be used in a hurry to avoid disposal due to consumption expiration, the amount to be newly replenished along with the destruction, and even if it is not newly replenished. Amount can be easily grasped for each product category.

  Moreover, according to the stock management device 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to grasp the stock amount for each product category for each storage location. For example, the inventory management device 10 can map and output the inventory amount on the map in association with the storage location of the inventory. According to such information, the manager who manages the stock can easily grasp the bias of the stock for each area, etc., and can make it appropriate.

<< Second Embodiment >>
An example of a functional block diagram of the stock management device 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As illustrated, the inventory management device 10 includes a storage unit 11, a calculation unit 12, an output unit 13, an acquisition unit 14, and an update unit 16. The configurations of the storage unit 11, the calculation unit 12, and the output unit 13 are the same as those in the first embodiment. Further, an example of the hardware configuration of the stock management device 10 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  The acquisition unit 14 acquires arrival information including a product code, an item classification code, and the number of items received. The acquiring unit 14 is different from the first embodiment in that the commodity classification code is acquired as arrival information. The other configuration of the acquisition unit 14 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  For example, in the input screen of FIG. 10, which is transited by pressing the “inspection button” on the screen shown in FIG. 9, a field for inputting a commodity classification code may be provided. The input of the item classification code into the column may be realized by reading a code (a bar code, a two-dimensional code, etc.) given to each item, a package of each item, or a container containing a plurality of items.
