The record information 25 is information related to procurement for each of a plurality of suppliers, and is information serving as a search matrix when searching for supplier candidates. Although details will be described later, in the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the record information 25 includes a supplier DB 26, a transaction record DB 27, and a defect history DB 28.

  Hereinafter, each functional unit and each database will be described in detail.

  The setting unit 11 evaluates the supplier candidates of the items to be procured, and sets initial values (hereinafter referred to as “setting values”) for each of a plurality of items used as parameters of evaluation rules defined for each of a plurality of viewpoints. "Initial setting value"). In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which a plurality of viewpoints are “quality (Q: Quality)”, “cost (C: Cost)”, and “delivery date (D: Delivery)”. A case will be described in which a plurality of items are item identification information “item code”, “transaction record”, “quality”, “cost”, and “delivery date”. The set value of each item is an index indicating how much importance is given to the viewpoint corresponding to the item when evaluating a supplier candidate. The “item code” is an index indicating how much importance is attached to the degree of similarity between the item code of the item to be procured and the item code included in the record information 25 that is the search base.

  As the initial set value, for example, a set value based on a company policy of a procurement source (ordering source), an average set value, or the like is assumed.

  For example, the setting unit 11 displays a setting screen 30 as shown in FIG. 2 on a display device (not shown) and receives an initial setting value from the user. In the example of FIG. 2, the setting screen 30 includes an initial setting value specifying area 31 for specifying an initial setting value for each item and a narrowing condition specifying area 32 for specifying a narrowing condition for a search target range. included. In the example of FIG. 2, the initial setting value designation area 31 is a radar chart in which each of a plurality of items is associated with each axis. The user can specify the initial setting value of each item by adjusting the value of each axis by a drag operation or the like. The narrowing-down condition designating area 32 can be in a format in which a range of information to be searched is selected by a check box or the like from information included in the record information 25 that is a search base. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, narrowing-down conditions such as “exclude achievements more than 10 years ago” and “exclude achievements more than 5 years ago” can be specified, but the present invention is not limited to this example.

  When the save button 33 is selected, the setting unit 11 displays the initial setting value of each item specified in the initial setting value specifying area 31 and the narrowing condition specified in the narrowing condition specifying area 32 in the setting value DB 20. Save to. FIG. 3 shows an example of the setting value DB 20. In the example of FIG. 3, information on “category”, “save date”, “squeezing condition”, and “setting value” is stored in the setting value DB 20. “Category” is information indicating whether the set value is an initial set value or a favorite set value (details will be described later). In the example of FIG. 3, the “setting value” includes (the setting value of “item code”, the setting value of “transaction record”, the setting value of “quality”, the setting value of “cost”, the setting value of “delivery date”, -(Blank)).

  The activation unit 12 presents a screen for determining a supplier of each of the items constituting the product to the user, and activates a supplier candidate evaluation process. For example, the activation unit 12 displays an input screen 40 as shown in FIG. 4 on the display device. In the example of FIG. 4, the input screen 40 displays an input box 41 in which a product code is input and an item list 42 of items included in the product indicated by the product code input in the input box 41.

  The item list 42 is provided with at least a “supplier” input field 43 corresponding to each “item code”. For items for which the supplier has already been determined, the supplier's supplier code and supplier name are displayed in the “supplier” input field 43. The supplier code is supplier identification information.

  In the example of FIG. 4, in addition to “item code” and “supplier”, the item list 42 corresponds to “process” and item code indicating in which process the product is used. The column of “item information” that is information (for example, specifications, quantity, precautions, etc.) relating to the item is provided. The activation unit 12 can display such information in the item list 42 based on, for example, product design information.

  In addition, in the input screen 40 shown in FIG. 4, when the input supplier is determined, a decision button 44 that is selected when the product production is shifted to the next process, and a line is added to the item list 42. A line addition button 45 to be selected and an end button 46 for closing the input screen 40 are included.

  When one of the input fields 43 of “Procurement source” in the item list 42 is selected, the activation unit 12 receives an instruction to activate the supplier candidate search process together with the item code corresponding to the input field 43. 13 is notified. Whether or not the “source” input field 43 has been selected can be determined, for example, based on whether the cursor is positioned in the input field 43 or a click operation has been performed on the input field 43.

  When receiving an activation instruction from the activation unit 12, the reception unit 13 displays a recommendation screen 50 as illustrated in FIG. 5 on the display device, for example. In the example of FIG. 5, the recommendation screen 50 includes a set value designation area 51, a set value list 52, a search button 53, a replace button 54, and a set value save button 55. The recommendation screen 50 includes a recommendation tab 56, a QCD tab 57, a comparison tab 58, a candidate list display area 59, a confirmation button 60, and an end button 61.

  Similar to the initial setting value specifying area 31 of the setting screen 30, the setting value specifying area 51 can be a radar chart in which each of a plurality of items is associated with each axis. The setting value list 52 displays initial setting values and favorite setting values stored in the setting value DB 20 and setting values set this time (hereinafter referred to as “current setting values”). The favorite setting value is a setting value set when searching for a supplier candidate in the past, and is a setting value saved as a favorite by the user. The favorite setting value is stored in the setting value DB 20.

  The search button 53 is selected when executing the supplier candidate search process. The replace button 54 is selected when either the initial setting value or the favorite setting value is replaced with the current setting value. The set value save button 55 is selected when the set current set value is saved as a favorite set value.

  The end button 61 is selected when closing the recommendation screen 50 and returning to the input screen 40. In the state before the search button 53 is selected, the recommendation tab 56, the QCD tab 57, the comparison tab 58, and the confirmation button 60 are not selectable (inactive), and are displayed in the candidate list display area 59. It is assumed that nothing is displayed.

  The accepting unit 13 displays the initial set value in the set value specifying area 51 (shaded part in the set value specifying area 51 in FIG. 5) and also displays the current set value in the initial state (set value specifying in FIG. 5). A broken line portion in the region 51). The initial state of the set value this time can be set to the same value as the initial set value, for example.

  The accepting unit 13 accepts the current set value by a drag operation on each axis by the user. As shown in the recommendation screen 50 shown in FIG. 6, the receiving unit 13 changes the display of the current setting value according to the setting value of each item received in the setting value specifying area 51 (the setting value specifying area 51 in FIG. 6). Dashed line). At this time, the display of the initial setting value is maintained. As a result, the user can specify the current set value by adjusting the initial set value while comparing with the initial set value. Further, the receiving unit 13 changes the display of the current setting value in the setting value list 52 (the portion indicated by the dotted line P in the setting value list 52 in FIG. 6) according to the setting value of each item received in the setting value specifying area 51.

  When the search button 53 is selected, the accepting unit 13 delivers the current set value designated in the set value designation area 51 and the item code notified from the actuating unit 12 together with the activation instruction to the calculating unit 14. .

  In addition, for example, when the replace button 54 is selected in the state in which any check box displayed in association with each of the initial setting value or the favorite setting value of the setting value list 52 is selected, the reception unit 13 selects: Replace the selected setting value with the current setting value. The accepting unit 13 changes the display of the set value designation area 51 and the set value list 52 when the set value is replaced.

  Further, when the setting value storage button 55 is selected, the reception unit 13 stores the set current setting value as a favorite setting value in the setting value DB 20.

  The calculation unit 14 calculates, for each of a plurality of suppliers, an evaluation value for each viewpoint and an overall evaluation value when the currently set value is used as a parameter as an evaluation value indicating suitability for the evaluation rule. In addition, the calculation unit 14 calculates a total evaluation value when each of the initial setting value and the favorite setting value is used as a parameter. Specifically, the calculation unit 14 uses the information of the record information 25, the current setting value passed from the receiving unit 13, and the initial setting value and the favorite setting value stored in the setting value DB 20, and the rule An evaluation value is calculated for each supplier in accordance with the rules defined in DB21.

  The rule DB 21 includes a rule table 22 shown in FIG. 7, a reference point table 23 shown in FIG. 8, and a coefficient table 24 shown in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 7, each row of the rule table 22 corresponds to one rule. The rule table 22 includes information of “No.”, “reference destination”, “setting value”, “viewpoint”, “rule content”, and “score by rule S”. “No.” is the number of each rule. Hereinafter, a rule with “No.” being i is referred to as “rule i”. The “reference destination” is information indicating a database of the record information 25 that is referred to when calculating the rule-specific score S corresponding to the rule. “Viewpoint” is information indicating which viewpoint the rule corresponds to. “Rule content” is information such as rule definition, explanation, and keywords related to the rule. “Rule score S” is information indicating a calculation method of the rule score S of each rule. The rule-specific score S is a score that increases as the degree of conformity to each rule increases, and is a score for determining the ranking of the candidate suppliers.

  In the example of the rule table 22 in FIG. 7, rule 1 is a rule common to all viewpoints, and is a supplier candidate that handles items with an item code that has the same or high degree of coincidence with the item code of the item to be procured. It is a rule for searching. The rule 2 is a rule corresponding to the viewpoint Q, and is a rule for increasing the evaluation value as the supplier has a larger number of transactions of items having the same or similar item code as the item code of the item to be procured. The rule 3 is a rule corresponding to the viewpoint Q, and is a rule for increasing the evaluation value for a supplier with a lower defect occurrence rate. The rule 4 is a rule corresponding to the viewpoint C, and is a rule for increasing the evaluation value for a supplier whose unit price of the item to be procured is lower. The rule 5 is a rule corresponding to the viewpoint C, and is a rule for increasing the evaluation value for a supplier with a larger transaction amount. The rule 6 is a rule corresponding to the viewpoint D, and is a rule for increasing the evaluation value for a supplier with a higher delivery date compliance rate. Note that the rules are not limited to the example shown in FIG.

  Further, the reference point table 23 shown in FIG. 8 is a table that defines reference points to be given as evaluation values of the respective viewpoints according to the ranking when the ranking is given to the candidate suppliers in descending order of the score S by rule. is there. The coefficient table 24 shown in FIG. 9 is a coefficient used when calculating the final evaluation value, and corresponds to the set value set for the item indicated by the “set value” defined in the rule table 22. It is the table which defined the coefficient.

  The supplier DB 26 included in the record information 25 stores attribute information of the supplier and information indicating items handled by the supplier. FIG. 10 shows an example of the supplier DB 26. In the example of FIG. 10, the supplier DB 26 includes “supplier code”, “supplier name”, “address” and “TEL”, which are examples of supplier attribute information, and information on items handled by the supplier. Information such as certain “handling items” is included. “Handling item” includes, for example, information such as “item code”, “item name”, and “unit price” of the item.

  The transaction record DB 27 included in the record information 25 stores information indicating the record of each transaction between the orderer and the supplier. FIG. 11 shows an example of the transaction performance DB 27. In the example of FIG. 11, the transaction result DB 27 includes “order date” when an item is ordered from a supplier, “item code”, and “number of orders” of the ordered item. Further, the transaction result DB 27 includes information such as the “source code”, “transaction amount”, “delivery date” of the supplier who accepted the order, and “delivery date” when the item was actually delivered to the order source. .

  The defect history DB 28 included in the record information 25 stores information indicating a history of occurrence of defects in the procured items. FIG. 12 shows an example of the defect history DB 28 included in the record information 25. In the example of FIG. 12, in the defect history DB 28, “defect occurrence date” when it is found that a defect has occurred in the procured item, “item code” of the item in which the defect has occurred, and the supplier to which the item has been delivered. "Supplier code" is included. Also, the defect history DB 28 includes information such as “order date”, “number of orders” of the item, and “number of defects” indicating the number of items in which defects have occurred.

  More specifically, for each rule stored in the rule table 22, the calculation unit 14 calculates a rule-specific score S for each supplier using the current set value and the actual result information 25. The calculation unit 14 gives the ranks of the first, second,... Then, according to the assigned ranking and the reference point table 23, the calculation unit 14 is a reference point of quality (hereinafter referred to as “viewpoint Q”) and a viewpoint of cost (hereinafter referred to as “viewpoint C”). And a reference point for a delivery point of view (hereinafter referred to as “viewpoint D”).

  Further, the calculation unit 14 specifies a coefficient corresponding to the current set value of the item indicated by the “set value” defined in the rule table 22 from the coefficient table 24. Then, the calculation unit 14 multiplies the reference point of the “viewpoint” determined in the rule table 22 among the reference points calculated for each rule by the specified coefficient for each viewpoint. The evaluation value of is calculated. Furthermore, the calculation unit 14 adds the evaluation values for all the rules for each viewpoint, calculates the evaluation value for each final viewpoint, adds the evaluation values for each final viewpoint, and performs the overall evaluation. Calculate the value. Then, the calculation unit 14 specifies a predetermined number (for example, 10) of suppliers in descending order of the overall evaluation value as a supplier candidate.

  In addition, for each of the specified predetermined number of supplier candidates, the calculation unit 14, similarly to the above, the overall evaluation value when the initial setting value is used and the overall evaluation value when the favorite setting value is used Is calculated.

  The calculation unit 14 passes the calculation result of the evaluation value for the specified predetermined number of supplier candidates to the display control unit 15.

  The display control unit 15 can compare the recommendation list in which the supplier candidates are arranged in the order of the overall evaluation value based on the current set value and the QCD list in which the supplier candidates are arranged in the order of the evaluation value for each viewpoint based on the current set value. Display on the display device. In addition, the display control unit 15 displays on the display device the recommendation list based on the current set value and the comparison list in which the supplier candidates are arranged in order of the overall evaluation value based on each of the initial setting value and the favorite setting value. To do.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the display control unit 15 changes the display of the recommendation tab 56 to the selected state on the recommendation screen 50 and displays the recommendation list in the candidate list display area 59. In the example of FIG. 13, the recommendation list includes “current rank” that is the order of the overall evaluation value based on the current set value, “initial rank” that is the order of the overall evaluation value based on the initial set value, and “procurement” Information of “destination code”, “source name”, and “evaluation value” is included. The “evaluation value” includes a comprehensive evaluation value based on the currently set value and an evaluation value for each viewpoint.

  In FIG. 13, only the recommendation tab 56, the QCD tab 57, the comparison tab 58, and the candidate list display area 59 included in the recommendation screen 50 are shown. The same applies to FIG. 14, FIG. 15, FIG. 22, and FIG.

  Each row of the recommendation list corresponds to one supplier candidate, and a selection button 62 for provisionally selecting a supplier candidate to be determined as a supplier is provided corresponding to each row. When the selection button 62 is selected, the display control unit 15 changes the selected supplier candidate row in the recommendation list to a display manner different from the display manner of the other supplier candidate rows. The display mode is changed, for example, by changing the color, changing the luminance, changing the thickness of the frame line, changing the character type or the character size, and the like.

  Next, in step S <b> 13, the setting unit 11 determines whether or not the save button 33 has been selected on the setting screen 30. If the save button 33 is selected, the process proceeds to step S14. If the save button 33 is not selected, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S <b> 14, the setting unit 11 stores the initial setting values of each item specified in the initial setting value specifying area 31 and the narrowing conditions specified in the narrowing condition specifying area 32 in the setting value DB 20. Then, the setting process ends.

  On the other hand, in step S <b> 15, the setting unit 11 determines whether or not the end button 35 has been selected on the setting screen 30. When the end button 35 is selected, the setting screen 30 is closed and the setting process ends. If the end button 35 has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S16.

  In step S <b> 16, the setting unit 11 determines whether or not the cancel button 34 has been selected on the setting screen 30. If the cancel button 34 is selected, the process returns to step S11. Then, the setting unit 11 cancels the initial setting value of each item specified in the initial setting value specifying area 31 and the narrowing condition specified in the narrowing condition specifying area 32, and displays the initial setting screen 30. To do. On the other hand, if the cancel button 34 has not been selected, the process returns to step S12.

  Next, the support process will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S21, the starting unit 12 displays an input screen 40 as shown in FIG. 4 on the display device, for example.

  Next, in step S <b> 22, the activation unit 12 has positioned the cursor in any of the input fields 43 of “Procurement” in the item list 42 on the input screen 40, or has performed a click operation on the input field 43. It is determined whether any input field 43 is selected. When any one of the input fields 43 is selected, the activation unit 12 notifies the reception unit 13 of the activation instruction for the search process for the supplier candidate together with the item code corresponding to the selected input field 43, and the process Proceeds to step S23. If no input field 43 is selected, the determination at this step is repeated.

  In step S <b> 23, the reception unit 13 acquires an initial setting value and a favorite setting value from the setting value DB 20. When a plurality of favorite setting values are stored in the setting value DB 20, all of the stored favorite setting values may be acquired, or a predetermined number of favorite setting values having the latest storage date may be acquired. Also good.

  Next, in step S24, the reception unit 13 displays a recommendation screen 50 as shown in FIG. 5 on the display device, for example. The accepting unit 13 displays the initial set value in the set value specifying area 51 and displays the current set value in an initial state (for example, the same value as the initial set value).

  Next, in step S <b> 25, the accepting unit 13 accepts the current set value of each item designated by the user by adjusting the value of each axis by a drag operation or the like in the set value designation area 51.

  Next, in step S <b> 26, the reception unit 13 determines whether or not the search button 53 has been selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the search button 53 is selected, the process proceeds to step S40. If the search button 53 is not selected, the process proceeds to step S27.

  In step S <b> 27, the reception unit 13 determines whether or not the end button 61 has been selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the end button 61 is selected, the process proceeds to step S61. If the end button 61 is not selected, the process proceeds to step S28.

  In step S <b> 28, the reception unit 13 determines whether or not the replace button 54 has been selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the replace button 54 has been selected, the process proceeds to step S29. If the replace button 54 has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S30.

  In step S29, the receiving unit 13 replaces the setting value selected by checking the check box displayed in association with each of the initial setting value or the favorite setting value in the setting value list 52 with the current setting value. . And the reception part 13 changes the display of the setting value designation | designated area | region 51 and the setting value list 52 according to replacement of a setting value, and a process returns to step S25. Note that if the replace button 54 is selected without selecting any setting value in the setting value list 52, this step is skipped.

  On the other hand, in step S <b> 30, the reception unit 13 determines whether or not the setting value storage button 55 is selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the set value save button 55 has been selected, the process proceeds to step S31. If the set value save button 55 has not been selected, the process returns to step S25.

  In step S31, the reception unit 13 stores the current setting value set in the setting value specifying area 51 as a favorite setting value in the setting value DB 20, and the process returns to step S25.

  In step S40, the recommendation process shown in FIG. 19 is executed.

  In step S41, the calculation unit 14 calculates, for each of a plurality of suppliers, an evaluation value for each viewpoint and an overall evaluation value when the currently set value is used as a parameter as an evaluation value indicating suitability for the evaluation rule. To do.

  Here, a specific evaluation value calculation method when the rule DB 21 shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 is used will be described.

  First, the calculation unit 14 calculates the rule-specific score S of the rule 1 for each supplier included in the record information 25 based on the “rule-specific score S” of the rule 1 of the rule table 22. Rule 1 stipulates that the supplier DB 26 in the performance information 25 is referred to. Further, the rule-specific score S of Rule 1 is determined to use the degree of coincidence between the item code of the item to be procured and the item code of the handling item of each supplier. Therefore, the calculation unit 14 compares the “item code” of “handling item” with the item code of the item to be procured for each supplier stored in the supplier DB 26. Here, a code system is assumed in which the values of the upper digits of the item codes are the same for similar items. Then, the calculation unit 14 determines whether or not the “score by rule S” corresponds to each of the comparison results of whether there is an item code that is completely matched or whether there is an item code that matches the first x (x = 3, 2, 1) digits. “A” to “d” are specified.

  Then, the calculation unit 14 selects a calculation formula for the rule-specific score S according to the set value for the “item code” of the current set value. For example, when the current setting value of “item code” is 100, S = a is selected, and when the current setting value of “item code” is 50, S = a + b + c is selected. The calculation unit 14 calculates the score S by rule for the rule 1 by substituting the specified values a to d into the selected calculation formula for S.

  Next, the calculation unit 14 gives the ranks of the first, second,... Then, the calculation unit 14 calculates the reference point of the viewpoint Q, the reference point of the viewpoint C, and the reference point of the viewpoint D according to the assigned ranking and the reference point table 23. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, a supplier with the highest ranking score S by rule has the highest order of reference Q for viewpoint Q = 10, reference point for viewpoint C = 10, and reference point for viewpoint D = 10 is given. For rule 1, the “viewpoint” in the rule table 22 is blank, that is, the multiplication of coefficients according to the viewpoint that is emphasized is not defined. Therefore, the reference point shown in the upper part of FIG.

  Further, description will be made using rule 2. For each supplier, the calculation unit 14 obtains from the transaction record DB 27 the number of transactions for the item whose item code is exactly the same, and the number of transactions for the item whose item code matches the first x (x = 3, 2, 1) digit. To do. Then, the calculation unit 14 calculates, as the rule-specific score S of Rule 2, the sum of the number of transactions weighted according to the degree of coincidence of the item codes for each number of transactions.

  In the same manner as described above, a reference point for each viewpoint is calculated based on the rule-specific score S and the reference point table 23. In addition, “Q” is defined in “Viewpoint” of Rule 2 in the rule table 22, and “Transaction result” is defined in “Setting value”. Therefore, the calculation unit 14 acquires a coefficient corresponding to the current set value of “transaction record” from the coefficient table 24. For example, when the current setting value of “transaction record” is 80, the coefficient is 1.4. And the calculation part 14 multiplies the acquired coefficient 1.4 to the reference point of viewpoint Q among the calculated reference points for every viewpoint. Thereby, as shown in the middle part of FIG. 20, the evaluation value for each viewpoint for the rule 2 is calculated.

  The calculation unit 14 calculates an evaluation value for each viewpoint for each supplier for all rules defined in the rule table 22 in the same manner as described above. Finally, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 20, the calculation unit 14 adds the evaluation values for all the rules for each viewpoint, calculates the evaluation value for each final viewpoint, and determines the final viewpoint. Total evaluation values are summed up to calculate a total evaluation value.

  Returning to the description of the recommendation process in FIG.

  In the next step S42, the calculation unit 14 specifies a predetermined number (for example, 10) of supplier candidates in descending order of the overall evaluation value. Then, the calculation unit 14, for each of the specified predetermined number of supplier candidates, as in the above step S 41, the overall evaluation value when the initial setting value is used and the overall evaluation value when the favorite setting value is used. An evaluation value is calculated. The calculation unit 14 passes the calculation result of the evaluation value for the predetermined number of supplier candidates to the display control unit 15.

  Next, in step S43, the display control unit 15 changes the display of the recommendation tab 56 to the selected state on the recommendation screen 50, for example, as shown in FIG. Further, the display control unit 15 displays a recommendation list in which the supplier candidates are arranged in order of the overall evaluation value based on the current set value in the candidate list display area 59.

  Next, in step S44, the display control unit 15 determines whether or not a supplier candidate to be determined as a supplier is provisionally selected by selecting the selection button 62 on the recommendation screen 50. If a supplier candidate is provisionally selected, the process proceeds to step S45. If not provisionally selected, the process proceeds to step S46.

  In step S45, the display control unit 15 changes the selected supplier candidate row in the recommendation list to a display manner different from the display manner of other supplier candidate rows.

  Next, in step S46, the display control unit 15 determines whether or not the QCD tab 57 has been selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the QCD tab 57 is selected, the process proceeds to step S47, and if not selected, the process proceeds to step S48.

  In step S47, the display control unit 15 changes the display of the QCD tab 57 to the selected state on the recommendation screen 50, for example, as shown in FIG. Further, the display control unit 15 displays in the candidate list display area 59 a QCD list in which supplier candidates are arranged in the order of evaluation values for each viewpoint based on the current set value. Then, the process proceeds to step S51.

  On the other hand, in step S <b> 48, the display control unit 15 determines whether or not the comparison tab 58 has been selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the comparison tab 58 is selected, the process proceeds to step S49, and if not selected, the process proceeds to step S50.

  In step S49, the display control unit 15 changes the display of the comparison tab 58 to the selected state on the recommendation screen 50, for example, as shown in FIG. Further, the display control unit 15 displays a comparison list in which candidate candidates are arranged in order of overall evaluation values based on each of the current set value, the initial set value, and the favorite set value in the candidate list display area 59. Then, the process proceeds to step S51.

  On the other hand, in step S50, the display control unit 15 determines whether or not the recommendation tab 56 has been selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the recommendation tab 56 has been selected, the process returns to step S43. If not, the process proceeds to step S51.

  In step S51, the display control unit 15 determines whether or not the confirm button 60 has been selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the confirm button 60 is selected, the process proceeds to step S54, and if not, the process proceeds to step S52.

  In step S <b> 52, the display control unit 15 determines whether or not the end button 61 has been selected on the recommendation screen 50. If the end button 61 is selected, the process returns to the support process (FIG. 18). If not selected, the process proceeds to step S53.

  In step S <b> 53, the display control unit 15 determines whether the currently selected tab among the recommendation tab 56, the QCD tab 57, and the comparison tab 58 on the recommendation screen 50 is the recommendation tab 56. If the recommended tab 56 is selected, the process returns to step S44, and if a tab other than the recommended tab 56 is selected, the process returns to step S46.

  In step S54, the display control unit 15 returns the supplier code and supplier name of the temporarily selected supplier candidate to the input screen, and returns to the support process (FIG. 18).

  Next, in step S61 of the support process (FIG. 18), the display control unit 15 closes the recommendation screen 50 and redisplays the input screen 40. Then, the display control unit 15 displays the supplier code and supplier name of the supplier candidate returned from step S54 in the “supplier” input field 43 of the input screen 40 selected in step S22. Then, the support process ends.

  Next, the update process will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S <b> 71, the updating unit 16 acquires, from the calculation unit 14, the ranking of the comprehensive evaluation value based on the current set value for the supplier candidate determined as the supplier.

  Next, in step S72, the update unit 16 determines whether or not the acquired rank is the first rank. In the case of the first place, the update process ends, and in the case of the second place or less, the process proceeds to step S73.

  In step S73, the update unit 16 updates the rule DB 21 so that the order of the supplier candidates determined as the supplier is calculated as a higher order, and the update process ends.

  As described above, according to the supplier determination support apparatus according to the present embodiment, the setting value applied as the parameter of the evaluation rule is accepted as the current setting value, and the initial setting value and the favorite setting value are stored in the storage unit. Has been. Then, for each supplier, an evaluation value for each viewpoint based on the current set value and an overall evaluation value are calculated, and the upper predetermined number of the overall evaluation values is specified as a supplier candidate. Further, for each of the supplier candidates, a total evaluation value is calculated based on each of the initial setting value and the favorite setting value. Then, a recommendation list in which supplier candidates are arranged in order of overall evaluation values based on the current set values, a QCD list in which supplier candidates are arranged in order of evaluation values for each viewpoint based on the present set values, and a comprehensive list based on each set value. A comparison list in which suppliers are arranged in order of evaluation value is displayed so as to be comparable. As a result, not only the search result with the highest overall evaluation value but also the supplier candidates can be confirmed from various viewpoints, so it is appropriate to support the determination of the suppliers of items such as parts and materials in product production. can do.

  More specifically, even if it is a high-level supplier candidate with a high overall evaluation value, if the ranking of each viewpoint is confirmed in the QCD list, the rank for a certain viewpoint may be low. For example, when setting values that place importance on quality and price are set, the viewpoint Q and viewpoint C are high, but the viewpoint D is low. In such a case, support the judgment that it may be difficult to respond to the case where it is necessary to have parts delivered in a short delivery time due to a sudden specification change of the product. Can do.

  In addition, by checking the order of the current setting value, initial setting value, and favorite setting value in the comparison list, it is possible to stably procure procurement candidates that are positioned at the top of any setting value. It is possible to give an evaluation with various suppliers. On the other hand, it is possible to support the judgment that a supplier candidate whose order fluctuates greatly depending on the set value may not be able to procure stably if there is a change in ordering conditions due to changes in specifications. it can.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the above-described recommendation list, QCD list, and comparison list are displayed has been described. However, in addition to these lists, detailed information of each supplier candidate may be displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 22, detailed information on the relevant supplier candidate during a predetermined period after the selection button 62 is selected, or while the cursor is positioned in any supplier candidate row or column. 63 can be displayed. The content of the detailed information can be the value of the score by rule S used in the calculation of the evaluation value, the supplier attribute information stored in the supplier DB, or the like.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where there was only one supplier candidate to temporarily select, you may enable it to temporarily select a some supplier candidate. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 23, the display mode may be changed for each provisionally selected supplier candidate. Thereby, not only the position of each supplier candidate's viewpoint and the ranking for each set value, but also the comparison of a plurality of supplier candidates of interest can be performed together. In this case, the confirmation button on the recommendation screen may not be selected in a state where a plurality of supplier candidates are selected.

  In the above embodiment, the case has been described in which the favorite setting value is stored in the setting value DB without being associated with the item code. However, the favorite setting value may be associated with the item code and stored. In this case, in step S23 of the support process (FIG. 18), a favorite setting value associated with an item code that is the same as or similar to the item code of the item to be procured may be acquired. Similarly, the initial setting value may be stored in association with the item code. In this case, an input box for inputting an item code may be provided on the setting screen (for example, FIG. 2), and an initial setting value may be set for each item code.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the viewpoint of the evaluation value calculated about each supplier candidate and the item of a setting value differ, you may make these correspond. For example, in the example of the above embodiment, the item code, transaction record, quality, cost, and delivery date may be used as viewpoints. When the viewpoint and the set value item are matched, either “viewpoint” or “set value” in the rule table can be omitted. Note that the items of viewpoint and set value are not limited to the example of the above embodiment.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the aspect by which the supplier determination assistance program was previously memorize | stored (installed) in the memory | storage part, it is not limited to this. The program according to the disclosed technology can be provided in a form stored in a storage medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or a USB memory.
