JP 2003-175918 A

  The relationship between the size or weight of the package and the transportation cost varies from carrier to carrier. Therefore, it is not possible to optimize the transportation method including the selection of the transporter and the exterior of the article simply by making the exterior of the article as small as possible. For example, even if the total volume increases compared to one large cardboard, transportation costs may be lower if two small cardboards are used. With respect to such a problem, the system disclosed in Patent Document 1 cannot reflect the difference for each carrier in the selection result, and therefore cannot select an appropriate transportation method including the selection of the carrier.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a transportation management device, a transportation management method, and a program capable of selecting an appropriate transportation method.

  In order to achieve the above object, the transportation management apparatus of the present invention comprises storage means, transportation article information acquisition means, determination means, and selection means. The storage means stores article dimension information representing the dimension of the article, exterior dimension information representing the exterior dimension of the article, and transportation cost information representing the transportation cost for each combination of the carrier and the exterior. The transported article information acquisition unit acquires transported article information representing an article to be transported. The determination means determines whether or not the exterior included in the transportation cost information is a dimension capable of packing the article included in the transported article information based on the article dimension information and the exterior dimension information. The selection means selects a combination of a transporter and an exterior that includes an exterior that has been determined by the determination means to be a size that can pack an article, and that the transportation cost represented by the transportation cost information satisfies a standard condition.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a transportation management device, a transportation management method, and a program capable of selecting an appropriate transportation method by selecting a combination of a carrier and an exterior whose transportation cost satisfies a standard condition.

(Embodiment 1)
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a transportation management device of the present invention is applied to an article transportation service will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The goods transportation business corresponds to, for example, a business in which a machine tool maintenance service receives a failure notification and ships maintenance parts. It is considered that the maintenance staff of the company wants to determine the maintenance cost by calculating the transportation cost of the maintenance parts immediately after receiving the notification of the failure. Therefore, the maintenance staff uses the transport management apparatus according to the present embodiment to select the size of the transporter and the shipping box with the transport cost kept as low as possible.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the transportation management device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a storage unit 11 that stores various types of information, a transported article information acquisition unit 12 that acquires information on articles to be transported, A determination unit 13 that determines whether or not an article can be packed in an exterior, a selection unit 14 that selects a combination of a carrier and an exterior as a transportation method, an operation unit 15 that receives a user operation, and a display that displays information Unit 16.

  The storage unit 11 stores article dimension information BS that represents the dimensions of the article, exterior dimension information GS that represents the dimensions of the exterior of the article, and transportation cost information YC that represents the transportation cost for each combination of the carrier and the exterior. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the article dimension information BS is information including an article ID for identifying an article and dimension information such as length, width, and height of each article. When an article is packaged in an interior and further packaged in an exterior, the article dimension information BS includes the dimensions of the article in a state of being packaged in the interior.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the exterior dimension information GS is information including an exterior name for identifying the exterior and dimension information such as length, width, and height of each exterior. In general, when an article is transported, it may be packaged in an interior and further packaged in an exterior. Here, the packaging material handed over to a transporter when transporting is called an exterior, and is distinguished from the interior that is an internal packaging material. However, in this embodiment, the interior is not considered, and the exterior is simply handled as a packaging material for packaging. The exterior name is a name that indicates an indication of the type and size of the exterior, and is represented by, for example, “cardboard: medium”, “folding container: large”. However, the exterior name may be any content as long as the exterior of the article can be identified. The dimension information represents the dimension of the exterior in the form in which the article is packaged. For example, according to the first record in FIG. 3, the dimensions of “corrugated cardboard: extra small” have dimensions of 100 cm in length, 50 cm in width, and 80 cm in height when the cardboard is assembled.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the transportation cost information YC is information including an exterior name for identifying the exterior and a transportation cost for each transporter of each exterior. For example, according to the first record in FIG. 4, when an article packed in “corrugated cardboard: extra small” is transported, the transporter A costs 150 yen, the transporter B costs 100 yen, and the transporter C costs 80 yen. Further, the transportation cost information YC includes information on whether or not transportation is possible. For example, according to the fourth record in FIG. 4, the transportation cost of the carrier A of “cardboard: large” is not defined. This means that the carrier A cannot transport “cardboard: large”.

  Thus, the storage unit 11 functions as a storage unit that stores the article dimension information BS, the exterior dimension information GS, and the transportation cost information YC.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the transported article information acquisition unit 12 acquires information on the articles to be transported. Specifically, the display unit 16 displays an input screen for inputting information on articles to be transported by the user. For example, if the user is a maintenance person, the user receives a telephone call from a customer, operates the operation unit 15 while viewing the input screen displayed on the display unit 16, and inputs information on an article to be transported. Then, the transport article information acquisition unit 12 acquires transport article information YB via the operation unit 15. As shown in FIG. 5, the transported article information YB is information including a transport number for identifying each transport, and a breakdown of transported articles composed of an article ID and the number of articles to be transported. As described above, the transported article information acquisition unit 12 functions as a transported article information acquiring unit that acquires the transported article information YB.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the determination unit 13 determines whether or not an article can be packed in the exterior. Specifically, the determination unit 13 performs a determination process for each exterior name included in the transportation cost information YC for the transportation article of transportation No included in the transportation article information YB. In the determination process, the determination unit 13 acquires the dimension information of the exterior corresponding to the exterior name from the exterior dimension information GS. And the determination part 13 determines whether all the transport articles applicable to the process No. transport No can be packed in an exterior.

  The selection unit 14 selects a combination of a carrier and an exterior as a transportation method. Specifically, based on the determination result of the determination unit 13, it is a combination of an exterior and a transporter that can pack all the transport articles corresponding to the transport No. to be processed, and satisfies the standard condition Select a combination. Here, the reference condition is specifically a condition that the combination has the lowest transportation cost. The selection unit 14 writes the selected transportation method in the storage unit 11 as transportation method information YH.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the transport method information YH is information including the transporter selected for each transport No. and the exterior name.

  The operation unit 15 receives an operation by a user. For example, as described above, the operation unit 15 receives an operation for inputting information on an article to be transported by the user.

  The display unit 16 displays various information. For example, as described above, the display unit 16 displays an input screen for inputting information on articles to be transported by the user. The display unit 16 may display the transportation method information YH stored in the storage unit 11.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the transportation management apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The transport management device 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101 that executes various processes, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 that is a volatile memory, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 103 that is a nonvolatile memory, A hard disk drive 104 that stores information, a keyboard 105 that receives operations, and a display 106 that displays information are provided.

  The CPU 101 executes various processes to be described later by reading a program stored in the hard disk drive 104 into the RAM 102 and executing the program.

  The RAM 102 is used as a work area for the CPU 101.

  The ROM 103 stores a control program for basic operations of the transportation management apparatus 1 executed by the CPU 101, a basic input output system (BIOS), and the like.

  The CPU 101, the RAM 102, and the ROM 103 cooperate to function as the above-described transported article information acquisition unit 12, the determination unit 13, and the selection unit 14.

  The hard disk drive 104 is a medium for storing information, and stores the above-described article dimension information BS, exterior dimension information GS, transportation cost information YC, and the like. Accordingly, the hard disk drive 104 functions as the storage unit 11 described above.

  The keyboard 105 is an information input device, and receives various information input by user operations. The keyboard 105 functions as the operation unit 15 described above.

  The display 106 is an information display device such as a liquid crystal panel or a projector. The display 106 functions as the display unit 16 described above.

  Next, operation | movement of the transportation management apparatus 1 is demonstrated with reference to drawings.

  As a premise, the storage unit 11 stores article dimension information BS, exterior dimension information GS, and transportation cost information YC in advance. For example, the user is a person in charge of maintenance of a machine tool, receives a failure notification from a customer, and specifies a maintenance part to be transported from the content of the failure. Then, the user operates the operation unit 15 while viewing the input screen displayed on the display unit 16 and inputs information on the article to be transported.

  And the transportation management apparatus 1 will perform the transportation method selection process, if the input of the information of the articles | goods transported from a user is received. When the transport management device 1 starts the transport method selection process, as shown in FIG. 8, the transport article information acquisition unit 12 acquires transport article information YB from the received information (step S11). In addition, the following processes are processed for every transport No.

  Next, in order to select a transportation method, the selection unit 14 defines the execution order of subsequent processing by the determination unit 13 as follows. That is, the selection unit 14 arranges the combinations of the carrier and the exterior that are candidates for the transportation method to be selected in the order that matches the reference condition. Specifically, when the standard condition is a condition that the transportation cost is the cheapest, the selection unit 14 arranges the combinations of the transporter and the exterior in the order of the lowest transportation cost. Note that the number of exteriors included in the transportation method candidates is not limited to one, and includes cases where a plurality of exteriors are used and cases where a plurality of exteriors are used (step S12).

  Next, in accordance with the order defined by the selection unit 14 in step S12, the determination unit 13 applies the exterior of the combination in the first order among the unprocessed combinations, that is, the lowest transportation cost among the unprocessed combinations. It is determined whether or not all the transport articles corresponding to the transport No. being processed can be packed on the exterior of the combination. Specifically, the determination unit 13 estimates a state in which transported articles are appropriately stacked, and determines whether or not all articles corresponding to the transport No. being processed can be stored in the exterior. More specifically, the determination unit 13 performs processing by estimating the packaging state by appropriately changing the shape and position of stacking, the combination of packaging of articles in a plurality of exteriors, and the like. It is determined whether or not all transport items corresponding to the transport No. can be packed (step S13). In step S <b> 13, the determination unit 13 functions as a determination unit that determines whether or not the exterior included in the transportation cost information YC has a dimension capable of packing the article included in the transportation article information YB. Further, this step S13 functions as a determination step for determining whether or not the outer packaging of the article has a dimension that can be packed.

  If it is determined that all the transported articles corresponding to the transport No. being processed cannot be packed (step S13: No), the determination unit 13 determines whether there is an unprocessed combination among the transport method candidates. (Step S14). And when the determination part 13 determines with the unprocessed combination existing (step S14: Yes), it returns to the process of step S13. On the other hand, when the determination unit 13 determines that there is no unprocessed combination (step S14: No), since no packable combination is found, the transportation management device 1 ends the transportation method selection process.

  In the process of step S13, when the determination unit 13 determines that all transported articles corresponding to the transport No. being processed can be packed (step S13: Yes), the selection unit 14 is a target of the determination. The combination, i.e. the combination being processed, is selected as the transport method. And the selection part 14 writes the transportation method information YH showing the selected result in the memory | storage part 11 (step S15). In step S <b> 15, the selection unit 14 functions as a selection unit that selects a combination of a transporter and an exterior, in which the transportation cost satisfies the standard condition. Further, this step S15 functions as a selection step for selecting a combination of a transporter and an exterior whose transportation cost satisfies the standard condition. Thereafter, the transportation management device 1 ends the transportation method selection process.

  As described above, the transportation management device 1 executes the transportation method selection process. If a combination is not selected by the transportation method selection process, transportation is impossible. Therefore, the display unit 16 may display an error message indicating that the transportation method could not be selected. The user looks at the display and confirms whether there is no error in the input of the transported goods information YB, whether there are any errors in the various information stored in the storage unit 11, and takes measures as necessary. Can do.

  When the combination is selected by the transportation method selection process, the display unit 16 may display the transportation method information YH. The user can look at the display and perform operations such as arrangement of a carrier and packing of goods. Further, the transportation management device 1 may execute processing relating to transportation based on the transportation method information YH, or may cooperate with other delivery management systems not shown, ordering systems of transportation companies, and the like.

  According to the transportation management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, since it is determined whether or not packaging is possible on the exterior based on the conditions for transportation costs, it is optimal not only from reducing the exterior, but also from the viewpoint of transportation costs. A transportation method that is a condition can be selected. Thereby, useless transportation costs can be suppressed.

(Embodiment 2)
In Embodiment 1, the example which determines whether it can pack with an exterior based on the dimension of transport goods was illustrated. In this embodiment, an example in which the size of an article in which the article is packed in an interior is estimated and whether or not the package can be packed in the exterior is determined based on the estimation result. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with a focus on differences from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the transportation management device 2 according to the present embodiment has an interior that estimates the dimensions of an article packed in the interior, in addition to the functional units provided in the transportation management device 1 according to the first embodiment. An article size estimation unit 17 is further provided. The storage unit 11 further stores article interior information BN representing an appropriate interior for each article and interior dimension information NS representing the dimensions of the interior.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the article interior information BN is information including an article ID and an interior name for identifying the interior in association with each other. In the article interior information BN, an appropriate interior for each article when the article is transported is determined in advance.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the interior dimension information NS is information including an interior name for identifying the interior and dimension information such as length, width, height, and thickness of each interior.

  The interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 estimates the dimensions of the interior-attached article in which the article is packaged in the interior. Specifically, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 sets the dimension in a state in which the transported article acquired by the transported article information acquisition unit 12 is packaged in the interior specified in the article interior information BN as the interior dimension information NS. Estimate based on the dimensions of the included interior. Here, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 may estimate on the premise of individual packaging for packaging each article one by one, or may include packaging a plurality of articles together in the estimation result. More specifically, for example, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 may estimate the number of articles to be packaged based on the length, width, height, and the like of the interior. Further, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 may estimate how much the dimension in the state in which the article is packaged changes compared to the state in which the article is not packaged, based on the thickness of the interior.

  The interior article size estimation unit 17 writes the estimated result in the storage unit 11 as interior article size information NBS. The interior-attached article dimension information NBS includes dimension information of an interior-attached article in which a plurality of articles for each transport No. are packed together as necessary, as shown in FIG.

  Next, the operation of the transportation management apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings, focusing on the differences from the transportation management apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.

  As a premise, in the storage unit 11, in addition to the article dimension information BS, the exterior dimension information GS, and the transportation cost information YC, the article interior information BN and the interior dimension information NS are stored in advance.

  Similarly to the transportation management apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, the transportation management apparatus 2 executes transportation method selection processing when receiving information on articles to be transported from the user. When the transport management device 2 starts the transport method selection process, as shown in FIG. 13, the transport article information acquisition unit 12 acquires transport article information YB from the input information (step S11).

  Next, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 estimates the dimensions of the article packaged in the interior of the article included in the transport article information YB. Specifically, the interior-equipped product size estimation unit 17 acquires the size of each product to be transported from the product size information BS, and acquires the interior in which each product is packaged from the product interior information BN. Then, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 obtains the dimensions of each interior from the interior dimension information NS, calculates how many of the items included in the transport article information YB are to be packaged in the interior, Estimate the dimensions of the finished state. The interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 stores the result thus estimated in the storage unit 11 as interior-attached article dimension information (step S16). In step S <b> 16, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 functions as an interior-equipped article size estimation unit that estimates a dimension in a state where the article is packaged in the interior.

  Subsequent to step S16, in the same manner as the transportation method selection process according to the first embodiment, the selection unit 14 defines the execution order of subsequent processes by the determination unit 13 as follows in order to select a transportation method ( Step S12).

  In the determination process in subsequent step S13, the determination unit 13 determines whether or not the article can be packed in the exterior in a state where the article is packaged in the interior. Other processes are the same as the transportation method selection process according to the first embodiment.

  According to the transportation management apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the determination as to whether or not packaging is possible in the exterior by estimating the dimensions of the state in which the article is packaged in the interior. Thereby, in the actual packing operation, it is possible to avoid the trouble that the article cannot be packed in the selected exterior by packaging the interior with the interior, and it is possible to reduce wasteful labor and cost for rearranging.

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various other modifications are possible.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the selection unit 14 selects a combination that provides the lowest transportation cost is illustrated. The scope of the present invention is not limited to this, and one that satisfies the condition that the transportation cost is a criterion is selected. For example, the condition may be that the transportation cost is within a certain range. Moreover, it is good also as compound conditions including conditions other than transportation expenses.

  In step S12 of the transport method selection process, combinations that cannot be clearly packed by the determination unit 13 may be excluded first. For example, a combination constituted only by an exterior having a size that does not contain the largest article may be excluded first. Thereby, the process in step S13 can be reduced. Further, in step S12 of the transportation method selection process, first, the determination unit 13 may exclude combinations that do not match under conditions other than dimensions. For example, transportation conditions such as a transportable area, whether or not a time can be specified, whether or not to be bundled with other customers, and a maximum weight that can be transported are stored in the storage unit 11 as transporter information. The transport article information acquisition unit 12 acquires these transport conditions. The determination unit 13 may exclude combinations other than transporters that match the transport conditions.

  Further, the determination by the determination unit 13 as to whether or not it can be packed in the exterior may take into account the weight. For example, the article dimension information BS, the exterior dimension information GS, the transportation cost information YC, and the interior dimension information NS may include weight information. And the determination part 13 may determine whether packing is possible on the basis of weight. In the present specification, “dimension” can be understood as a concept including weight.

  Further, the article dimension information BS may include information indicating the bundling conditions such as whether or not to invert and whether or not to stack. The determination by the determination unit 13 as to whether or not it can be packed in the exterior may take into account the bundling conditions.

  The interior article size estimation unit 17 of the transportation management device 2 according to the above-described second embodiment exemplifies an example of estimating the dimensions of an article packaged in the interior based on the article interior information BN and the interior dimension information NS. did. Instead, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 may estimate the dimensions of the article packaged in the interior based on the actual results. Specifically, the storage unit 11 stores performance information representing the results of packaging with the interior. The interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 estimates the dimensions of the article packaged in the interior based on the record information. Further, the interior-equipped article size estimation unit 17 may perform estimation in consideration of performance information in addition to the article interior information BN and the interior dimension information NS. Thus, by estimating the dimensions of the article packaged in the interior based on the record information, the determination accuracy by the determination unit 13 can be increased.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the transport article information acquisition unit 12 acquires the transport article information YB from information input by the user operating the operation unit 15 has been described. However, the method by which the transported article information acquisition unit 12 acquires the transported article information YB is not limited to this. For example, the transport article information acquisition unit 12 may acquire the transport article information YB by receiving information from another system (not shown).

  The transport management apparatuses 1 and 2 according to the present embodiment can be realized using a normal computer without depending on a dedicated apparatus. For example, the transportation management apparatuses 1 and 2 that execute the above-described processing may be configured by installing the program in a computer from a recording medium that stores the program for executing any of the above-described in the computer. Moreover, you may comprise one transportation management apparatus 1 and 2 by a some computer operating in cooperation.

  A method for supplying the program to the computer is arbitrary. For example, you may supply via a communication line, a communication network, a communication system, etc.

  In addition, when an OS (Operating System) provides a part of the functions described above, a part other than the function provided by the OS may be provided by a program.

  Various embodiments and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. The above-described embodiments are for explaining the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. In other words, the scope of the present invention is shown not by the embodiments but by the claims. Various modifications within the scope of the claims and within the scope of the equivalent invention are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
