The article providing system comprises: consumption amount grasping means which grasps the number of the articles which the receiver can spend by a consumption expiration date, by an article providing scheduled date when the article is to be provided to the receiver, the consumption expiration date of the article, and consumption capacity of the receiver about the article; and consumable article provision means in which the provider provides the number of the articles which the receiver can spend to the receiver.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to a system for sending an article from a provider to a recipient within the expiry date. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a system for sending a product, which may become general waste, to a recipient as an article delivered within the expiry date.

  There are two types of waste: industrial waste and general waste. Industrial waste is obliged to be treated with a so-called industrial waste management slip (manifest) based on the Industrial Waste Disposal Law.

  General waste includes so-called business waste and household waste. Business waste is not only for the purpose of profit at stores, companies, factories, offices, etc. but also waste generated by business activities, including places that provide public services such as hospitals, schools, and public offices. Say things.

  Municipalities are responsible for the disposal of municipal waste, and each municipality disposes of municipal waste in accordance with the ordinances, and businesses must comply with municipal regulations when they dispose of their own waste. It does not have to be. The disposal of the waste in the present application corresponds to the case where the business operator treats the waste discharged from the business-related general waste by itself without following the municipal regulations.

  Business-related general waste includes, for example, clothing such as underwear, daily necessities such as shampoo and toilet paper, and food such as mineral water, canned goods, retort products, and vegetables. Reasons for disposal include broken packaging, fewer days before the expiration date, and no longer being a product. Accordingly, the business-related general waste includes a large amount of waste that has not yet expired and has no problem in quality. To dispose of these, enormous costs such as shipping and disposal fees are incurred. The cost depends on the weight. For example, in daily necessities and foods, about 40 yen per kg is the market price, and several tens of tons are usually discarded.

  On the other hand, the number of facilities (child care facilities, nursing homes, etc.) that require physical support for daily necessities and groceries is increasing due to the growing disparity society.

  It is very preferable from the viewpoint of social welfare for a business if it is possible to provide such a product that is a target of disposal and has not yet expired to a person who needs support. In addition to the benefits for those who receive support, there are benefits for businesses as well, such as reducing disposal costs and improving the corporate image associated with social contribution activities.

However, it has been difficult to provide goods that have not yet expired to those who need assistance for the following reasons.
Reason 1. There is a possibility that the provided goods will be diverted to a market different from the regular sales route, such as a discount market. In that case, (1) the price of the target goods will fall and affect the regular sales route, (2) there is a guarantee risk as a producer because quality assurance of the target goods cannot be guaranteed, and (3) the brand image is damaged (4) There is also a risk of damage to reputation.
Reason 2 There is a possibility of taking the compensation risk for the health damage of the recipient by the provided goods.

  Referring to Non-Patent Document 1, in a so-called manifest system obliged to industrial waste, the flow of waste is prevented by confirming the flow of waste treatment using an industrial waste management slip. For example, when waste is sent and disposed of in the flow of discharge company → transportation company → intermediate processing business → transportation business → final disposal business, each business will provide the date and details of the treatment. It is written on the waste management slip and is reported to the Federation that manages waste disposal. In the manifest system, because the final disposal of waste is not “consumption”, the expiration date of the waste, the period required for consumption, and the consumption capacity are grasped regarding the person who performs the disposal (waste destination). There was no idea.

  As illustrated in Non-Patent Document 2, donating a product that is no longer needed to a person who needs support is actively performed in various parts of the world. Even in this case, if there is an accident such as food poisoning due to food intake as a result of donation, the donated goods are collected, the cause is investigated, and the response is discussed with related parties. Is taken. In other words, until now, taking into account the expiration date of the product to be donated, the consumption ability of the recipient is shown numerically, and no amount that can be consumed has been donated.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a system and method capable of providing so-called business-related general waste products whose expiry date has not been reached to facilities that require physical support without being targeted for disposal.

  A system for managing the provision of an article from a provider to a recipient, wherein the article is scheduled to be provided to a recipient, a date when the article is due to expire, and the article regarding the article. Expenditure quantity grasping means for grasping the quantity of articles that can be consumed by the recipient by the expiry date due to the consumption ability provided by the provider, and the provider provides the recipient with the recipient The problem is solved by an article providing system including a consumable article providing means for providing an expendable quantity of articles.

  The provider is, for example, a business operator who has business waste. The recipient is, for example, a facility that wants to receive donated goods. The article is, for example, waste that has not expired. This article providing system is, for example, a system in which a product whose expiry date has not passed and has not yet been discarded is sent to a facility where it can be consumed without being discarded, and is effectively used. Further, the article is not limited to waste, and any article may be used as long as the provider intends to provide it to the recipient.

  The number of days that can be used from the date of provision of goods and the expiration date of goods to the end of consumption after the provision of goods is known. The consumption capacity provided by the recipient is determined by the number of personnel constituting the recipient and the average daily consumption of the target article. For products whose average daily consumption differs depending on the age of the personnel making up the recipient, the amount of consumption approaches the actual amount depending on the age of the personnel making up the recipient You may adjust so that. When the product is consumed before the expiry date comes after receiving the provision of the goods by the consumption capability provided by the recipient, it is determined that the consumption capability exists.

  The provider may determine whether or not there is a consumption capability. The determination of the presence / absence of the consumption capability may be made by an administrator who takes care of between the provider and the recipient.

  When it is determined that there is a consumption capability, the goods are provided from the provider to the recipient by the expendable goods providing means. Since the recipient provides a quantity of articles that can be consumed, the provided articles are not diverted. Accordingly, the provider can safely consume and dispose of the article. Also, the recipient can obtain the product at no cost. Moreover, it is possible to make use of items that are still usable without being discarded.

  The problem is solved by the article providing system, wherein the consumption capacity is calculated based on the product of the number of personnel belonging to the recipient and the average consumption per person per day.

  The age and number of personnel belonging to the recipient are always recorded. The average daily consumption per adult is stored for each product. The average daily consumption per person can be obtained by accumulating article provision data, and is updated according to the season and fashion.

  In the calculation, the problem is solved by an article providing system obtained by multiplying the ratio of consumption according to age with respect to the consumption of adults. The ratio of the consumption amount according to the age with respect to the adult consumption amount is examined for each product and stored in a past device such as an administrator. Updated according to accumulated data.

  The problem is solved by an article providing system comprising consumption amount presenting means for presenting to the provider the amount consumed of the articles provided by the provider to the provider. By knowing the consumption of the recipient, the provider can be relieved to know that all the waste has been disposed of, for example, when the provided article is waste. Also, the provider can know the performance of welfare from the viewpoint of welfare.

  The object is solved by an article providing system characterized in that the article is an object of disposal by a provider.

  Since an article is an object of disposal, for example, a business can be used without consideration for a recipient.

  A method for managing the provision of an article from a provider to a recipient, wherein the article is scheduled to be provided to a recipient, the expiration date of consumption of the article, and the article regarding the article. A consumption quantity grasping process for grasping the quantity of articles that can be consumed by the recipient by the expiration date of consumption, and the provider provides the recipient with the recipient. A problem is solved by an article providing method including a consumable article providing process for providing an expendable quantity of articles.

  The problem is solved by the article providing method according to claim 6, wherein the consumption capacity is calculated based on a product of the number of personnel belonging to the recipient and an average consumption amount per person per day.

  In the calculation, the problem is solved by an article providing method, which is obtained by multiplying the ratio of consumption according to age with respect to the consumption of adults.

  The problem is solved by an article providing method including a consumption amount presenting step of presenting to the provider the amount consumed of the articles provided by the provider to the provider.

  The object is solved by an article providing method characterized in that the article is an object of disposal by a provider.

  Since the recipient provides a quantity of articles that can be consumed, the provided articles are not diverted. Accordingly, the provider can safely consume and dispose of the article. Also, the recipient can obtain the product at no cost. Moreover, it is possible to make use of items that are still usable without being discarded.

1 shows an article providing system according to a first embodiment. The example of data is shown in order to calculate the consumption capacity of the recipient who concerns on Example 1. FIG. The example of the information of the provision article which concerns on Example 1 is shown. The concrete product provision content concerning Example 1 is shown. A part of the report content of the consumption situation after the concrete product provision which concerns on Example 1 is shown. The article provision system concerning Example 2 is shown.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  With reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, the offer of goods provided by the provider and the acceptance by the recipient will be described through the administrator.

  The manager recruits providers in advance and selects a provider who can actively provide socially safe articles.

In addition, managers are also intended for facilities or organizations that accommodate persons who are not easy to purchase food and beverages and daily necessities, such as childcare facilities, elderly care facilities, welfare recipients, etc. Recruit recipients. The manager selects a facility or organization that can comply with the following rules in order to eliminate the risk of crossing the provided items.
(1) It can be assured that the reporting items such as capacity and number of workers are authentic.
(2) Do not transfer the provided goods to a third party.
(3) Do not request return of goods provided.
(4) Responsible for the disposal of the remaining items if the provided goods cannot be consumed.

  The manager is provided with a consumption consumption amount grasping means for judging the goods consumption ability of the recipient (FIG. 1).

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a part of data for grasping the consumed amount of the recipient. Such data is stored in the storage means of the consumed quantity grasping means (not shown). The “corporate name / group name” in FIG. 2 is a recipient. An ID number is assigned individually, and articles are provided in this unit. For example, the ID number “DA0001” is “Social Welfare Corporation Tatsuokai”, and there are a plurality of facilities belonging to it, and “Hoyu Kids Home” is described as the main facility. The product delivery address is “XX city in Chiba prefecture”. The total number of residents of the facilities belonging to the “Social Welfare Corporation Tatsuokai” is listed by age, and the total number of employees is also listed. FIG. 2 further shows the number of consumers when the article is a shampoo. Shampoo is 0.5 for infants (0 to 3 years old), 0.8 for children (4 to 15 years old), and not for adults (16 to 19 years old). Since the age is 1, the number of people is multiplied by these factors to obtain the number of expenses.

  For example, the ID number “DA00002” is a group named “Chiba first district”. There are multiple facilities belonging to this group, and “Chiba Daiichi Home” is listed as the main facility. Since a facility with a very small scale consumes less, it is possible to receive goods in groups in this way together with a plurality of facilities.

  The article consumption ability is the ability of the recipient to consume the article received from the provider from the date of receipt of the article to the expiration date of the article. When a new article is provided to a facility, etc., if the number of days for the new article to be consumed at the facility does not exceed the number of days from the provision date to the expiration date, there is an article consumption capability ,It turns out that.

  Calculation of “the number of days for the facility to use up the new item when the new item is provided to the facility” is performed as follows.

  If the same goods have been provided to the target facility in the past, and the articles provided last time remain when they are newly provided, they must also be added to the subsequent consumption objects.

  At the time of new provision, in addition to the product provided last time (= one time before), the product provided two times before (= 2 times before) may remain. First, the total number of products to be newly provided and the remaining number of products to be provided once and twice before is obtained.

ave0: Average number of days consumed per article per adult,
amountNEW: Quantity of the target product to be provided this time,
amount1: The quantity of the product provided one time before,
amount2: The quantity of the offer two times before,
day1: Number of days from the previous provision date to the new provision date
day2: The number of days from the previous offer date to the new offer date,
On the new delivery date, the total number of products newly provided and the remaining number of products delivered one and two times before, amount0,
amount0 = amountNEW + (amount1− ave0 × day1) + (amount2 −ave0 × day2)
It is.

  Here, the “number of facilities” will be described. In facilities where both adults and children are mixed, the “number of facilities” needs to be adjusted based on differences in consumption due to age differences. For example, in the case of shampoo, regarding the ratio of consumption, for example, if the consumption of adults over 20 years old is 1, it is 1 for ages 16 to 19, 0.8 for ages 14 to 15, and 0 for ages 3 and under. The ratio is 5. This coefficient varies depending on the product.

Therefore,
num0: Number of consumers in the recipient
n0: Number of adults (over 20 years old) among recipients
n1: Number of non-adult adults (aged 16-19) among recipients
n2: Number of children (4 to 15 years old) among recipients
n3: Number of infants (under 3 years old) in recipients Number of consumers in recipients num0 is
num0 = n0 + (n1 × 1) + (n2 × 0.8) + (n3 × 0.5).

The number obtained by dividing amount0 by the number of consumers num0 in the recipient is the number of days required for consumption when a new article is provided to the facility.
days = amount0 ÷ num0

  If a new item is provided to the facility, if the number of days required for consumption does not exceed the number of days from the new provision date to the expiration date, it means that there is a consumption capacity.

FIG. 1 shows an article providing system according to the first embodiment.
1. The provider asks the administrator to request the provision of the article.
2. The administrator considers whether the offer is appropriate in terms of the type and quality of the product requested, and if it is determined that the offer is appropriate, the type, amount, and expiration date of the product are communicated via communication means such as the Internet. Through the website.
3. The recipient selects a product to be provided from the products posted on the website, and proposes to receive the offer and the amount to receive the offer.
4). The manager receives the offer of the recipient, and determines whether or not there is an article consumption capability with respect to the product that the recipient wants to be provided by means of grasping the consumed amount of the recipient.
5. If it is determined that there is a consumption capability, the manager sends the product to the recipient.
6). The recipient provides the administrator with a report on the consumption status of the product received.
7). The administrator reports to the provider the product provision status (providing destination, provision date, etc.) and consumption status (how much is consumed, how many days will be consumed, etc.).

  The administrator collects a management fee from the provider. As a general rule, the recipient does not pay either the administrator or the provider.

  The number of consumers can be calculated from the number of residents and the age of the residents. FIG. 2 is a table for calculating the number of consumers when the product is shampoo. That is, infants are 0.5 times adults, children are 0.8 times adults, and so on.

  Although not shown in the figure, for example, if the product is a diaper, the calculation is 0 to 3 for the age of 0 to 3, and 0 for the age of 4 and over.

  Moreover, although not shown in figure, when a product is a soft drink, for example, an infant is 0.8 times of an adult, a child is 1 time of an adult, and so on.

  FIG. 3 shows data of provided product information. Such data is stored in an administrator's storage device (not shown). For example, a 500 ml shampoo with product code number PA00001 contains 40 cases per pallet and 20 bottles per case. This shows that one can be used up by an adult in 16.67 days.

  Both FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are used for a part of the report that the administrator shows to the provider after provision.

  FIG. 4 shows specific product provision contents. This shampoo contains 500 ml per individual and consumes an average of 30 ml per adult per day. This product was provided to Chiba Daiichi District in 10 cases in January, 70 cases in February, and 30 cases in March. Theoretically, it will be consumed in 51.9 days. In addition, this product was provided to Tokyo 2nd District with 40 cases in January, 110 cases in February, and 80 cases in March. Theoretically, it will be consumed in 56.9 days.

  FIG. 5 shows photograph data at the time of provision and after consumption. That is, a black circle shows a photograph.

FIG. 6 shows an example (Example 2) in the case where there is a management department in the provider.
1. The provider posts the type and amount of products desired to be provided and the expiration date on the website via communication means such as the Internet.
2. The recipient selects a product to be provided from the products posted on the website, and proposes to receive the offer and the amount to receive the offer.
3. The management unit of the provider receives the offer of the recipient, and determines whether or not there is an article consumption capability for the product that the recipient wants to receive by means of the recipient's expense consumption grasping means.
4). If it is determined that there is a consumption capability, the manager sends the product to the recipient.
5. The recipient reports to the administrator the consumption status (how much was consumed, how many days would be consumed, etc.) regarding the product received.
