[System overview]
An overview of the system according to this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. System 1 is a system for managing the business resources of a certain business operator based on cash flows identified from cash outs and cash ins in the business activities of the business operator.

The system 1 manages data on money, people, goods, and authority, which are business resources of a business, based on, for example, cash flow. Money data is data regarding the amount of funds of a business operator, which is specified based on claims and payments. Human data refers to data on personnel costs, including salaries and benefits paid for work. Goods data is data regarding orders for goods, equipment, and the like. The authority data is data related to a service provision schedule by a business operator, such as a reservation by a consumer of a service provided by the business operator or a reservation for use of the business operator's equipment. The system 1 manages the above data on money, people, things, and authority using a database, and manages cash (money) as inventory. As a result, the system 1 manages not only fund shortages but also fund surpluses. System 1 aims to improve management efficiency by linking data not only for fund management (money management) but also for the management of data on people, things, and authorities. The above data linkage prevents mistakes in data linkage by incorporating the Kanban method.

In this embodiment, the system 1 stores data on money, people, things, and authority in a database, and the data stored in the database is Kanban data for funds (cash flow data) or Kanban data for transactions. (change request data) is linked between databases.

Kanban data for funds is data regarding people, things, or authority, and is data that includes monetary data regarding cash out or cash in in the business activities of a business operator. For example, Kanban data for funds includes payment or revenue amount data generated based on fund settlement data received from a personnel management system, a parts management system, or an equipment or equipment usage management system, and the payment or revenue settlement data. It may also include due date data.

Kanban data for transactions is data related to money, and includes data generated based on data related to fund settlement of businesses and data related to the amount of funds of businesses. For example, if the payment amount data included in the Kanban card for funds is insufficient for the amount of funds, the Kanban data for transactions will contain a request to reduce the amount shown in the Kanban data for funds, and a change amount. may also include data indicating. Furthermore, if the surplus amount of funds is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold at a predetermined time, the data may include a request to increase the amount indicated in the Kanban data for funds and data indicating the changed amount.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the fluctuation status of data on money, people, goods, and authority stored in the database of the system 1 is managed like inventory management based on Kanban data for funds or Kanban data for transactions. It is possible to manage the shortage of funds and the surplus of funds. As a result, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide more effective management technology.

The amount data regarding the cash out includes, for example, data indicating personnel expenses including salaries and allowances paid for labor received from the server device 10b in the human resources management system, and goods and goods received from the server device 10c in the goods management system. The information may also include data indicating costs to be paid in response to orders for equipment and the like.

The above-mentioned cash-in amount data is related to a service provision schedule by a business operator, such as a consumer's reservation for a service provided by the business operator received from the server device 10d in the revenue management system, or a reservation for the use of the business's equipment. It may also include data indicating revenue based on data (authority data).

The communication unit 11 may also receive fund data indicating the funds of the business from a server device 10e (financial accounting management device) in a financial accounting management system that manages finance or accounting.

The control unit 13 controls processing of various functions executed by the server device 10a. For example, the control unit 13 may generate the Kanban card data for funds including the amount data, based on the amount data received by the communication unit 11. The control unit 13 may determine whether there is a shortage or a surplus of funds based on the amount data included in the funds kanban data received by the communication unit 11, the funds data, and a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold may include, for example, at least one of an amount threshold or a period threshold. The amount threshold may include, for example, a difference threshold between the amount data and the funds data (that is, a threshold related to the amount). The period threshold may include, for example, a threshold regarding the period from when the above determination is made until the next above determination is made (i.e., a threshold regarding when to perform the above determination).

Further, if the control unit 13 determines that there is a shortage or surplus in the amount of funds in the above determination, the control unit 13 generates Kanban data for transactions including data for requesting a change to the amount data included in the Kanban data for funds. You may. The generated Kanban data for transactions may be stored in the database 12 and transmitted via the communication unit 11 to the server device 10 (10b, 10c, 10d), which is an external device. Details of further processing by the control unit 13 will be described later.

The database 12 stores various data including data received by the communication unit 11, data necessary for processing by the server device 10a, or data generated by the server device 10a. The database 12 stores, for example, at least a portion of the above-described Kanban data for funds, Kanban data for transactions, and fund data.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the communication unit 11 may receive amount data regarding cash-out or cash-in in the business activities of the business operator from each of one or more external devices. The control unit 13 may generate Kanban data for funds including the amount data. The communication unit 11 may receive the fund data of the business operator from the server device 10e that manages finance or accounting. The control unit 13 may determine whether there is a shortage or a surplus in the amount of funds based on the amount data included in the funds kanban data, the funds data, and a predetermined threshold. If it is determined that there is a shortage or surplus in the amount of funds, the control unit 13 may generate Kanban data for transactions including data for requesting a change in the amount data.

As a result, according to the present embodiment, the fluctuation status of data on money, people, things, and authority stored in the server device 10 (for example, server devices 10b, 10c, 10d, and 10e) of the system 1 is displayed in the financial kanji. It is possible to manage funds like inventory management based on data or Kanban data for transactions, and manage fund shortages and fund surpluses. As a result, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide more effective management technology.

Examples of various functions executed by the control unit 13 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 4, the functions executed by the control unit 13 include, for example, a transaction management function 131, a Kanban connection function 132, a medical expense management function 133, and a fund management function 134. The control unit 13 may further execute functions other than those described above, or may not execute some of the above functions.

Each of the functions shown in FIG. 4 will be explained below, taking a business that is a medical institution as an example and managing the business resources of the business, such as money, people, goods, and authority data. However, the business types of businesses that can use the system 1 are not limited to medical institutions, and even businesses in other industries can use the system 1.

(1) Transaction management function 131
The transaction management function 131 includes a Kanban creation function for funds, a function to confirm whether or not conditions can be changed, and a function to confirm transaction confirmation.

(1-1) Kanban creation function for funds This is a function to generate Kanban data for funds. Specifically, the control unit 13 generates Kanban data for funds including the amount data, based on the amount data received by the communication unit 11. The amount data is data regarding cash out or cash in in the business activities of the business operator. The amount data may be, for example, data based on transaction data stored in the database of the server device 10 for human resources, drug/medical equipment management, and testing equipment/bed usage management.

Identification data is attached to the transactions and the Kanban data for funds so that the correspondence between the transactions indicated by the transaction data stored in the database and the generated Kanban data for funds can be specified. Good too. Kanban data for funds may include identification data, amount data, payment due date, transaction order number, payment performance certainty, etc. as data items. The amount data indicates the amount of the transaction. The settlement date indicates the settlement date of the transaction corresponding to Kanban data for funds. The payment fulfillment certainty is data indicating the possibility that the payment will be fulfilled.

Kanban data for funds may be created based on medical expense data (including, for example, scheduled payment amount, scheduled payment date, deposit source, and individual transaction number).

(1-2) Function to check whether conditions can be changed This is a function to update the contents of Kanban data for funds based on data received from the server device 10, which is an external device. For example, the control unit 13 sends, via the communication unit 11, a confirmation notice to an external device to request a change in the amount data included in the Kanban data for funds, based on the Kanban data for transactions stored in the database 12. It is transmitted to a certain server device 10. For example, in order to request a change in the amount data included in Kanban data for funds, the control unit 13 requests the server device 10 ( For example, the confirmation notification is sent to the server device 10b).

Kanban data for transactions includes data for requesting a change (decrease or increase) in amount data. Kanban data for transactions includes, as data items, for example, correction amount data (data indicating the amount of change in the amount of the target transaction), settlement date (settlement date of the target transaction), and Kanban identification data for target funds.

When the communication unit 11 receives a response notification indicating that changes are not possible from the server device 10, which is an external device, in response to the transmission of the confirmation notification, the control unit 13 controls the payment amount corresponding to the amount data included in the kanban data for funds. Kanban data for funds including payment performance certainty data indicating that the performance is certain is stored in the database 12.

(1-3) Transaction Confirmation Confirmation Function This is a function to update the contents of transaction kanban data, which is the output of the transaction kanban division function described later, based on data received from the server device 10, which is an external device. For example, the control unit 13 may update the settlement date included in the transaction Kanban data based on the changed transaction data received from the server device 10, which is an external device. In addition, when the Kanban data for transactions includes payment performance accuracy data, the control unit 13 sets the value of the payment performance accuracy data to "unknown" based on the changed transaction data received from the server device 10, which is an external device. It is also possible to update from "confirmed" to "confirmed".

The control unit 13 may store the updated Kanban data for transactions in the database 12. The control unit 13 may store the changed transaction data received from the server device 10, which is an external device, in the database 12.

(2) Kanban connection function 132
The Kanban connection function 132 includes a Kanban integration function for funds, a Kanban division function for transactions, and a fixed Kanban integration function for funds.

(2-1) Kanban integration function for funds This is a function to integrate Kanban data for funds generated by the transaction management function 131. The control unit 13 integrates the Kanban data for funds by, for example, generating integrated Kanban data for funds including integrated amount data obtained by adding up the amount data included in a plurality of Kanban data for funds. Kanban data for funds may be integrated according to conditions. For example, the control unit 13 may set the condition that the payment date included in the Kanban data for funds is within a predetermined period, or that the certainty of payment fulfillment included in the Kanban data for funds is a predetermined value (for example, "unconfirmed"). A plurality of Kanban data for funds may be integrated on the condition that the above conditions are satisfied, or the integration may be performed on the condition that both of the above conditions are satisfied.

(2-2) Kanban division function for transactions This is a function that divides the above-mentioned integrated Kanban data for funds to generate Kanban data for transactions. For example, the control unit 13 generates a plurality of Kanban data for transactions based on the Kanban data for integrated funds. Each of the plurality of generated Kanban data for transactions includes amount data included in the Kanban data for funds used to generate the integrated Kanban data for funds. For example, the first Kanban data for transactions includes amount data included in the first Kanban data for funds used to generate the first integrated Kanban data for funds, and the second Kanban data for transactions includes the amount data included in the first Kanban data for funds. Contains amount data included in the second Kanban data for funds that was used to generate the first integrated Kanban data for funds. That is, the control unit 13 generates a plurality of transactions based on the integrated funds Kanban data so that the transaction Kanban data includes the amount data included in the funds Kanban data used to generate the integrated funds Kanban data. Kanban data may also be generated.

Further, the Kanban data for transactions may be created based on medical data. For example, based on transaction information such as the quantity of drugs scheduled to be used, test items, doctors in charge, or beds in use, transactions are classified into one of three areas: human resources, drug/medical equipment management, and testing equipment/bed usage management. Kanban data may also be created.

(2-3) Fixed Kanban integration function for funds This is a function that integrates Kanban data for funds for transactions whose settlement has been confirmed. The control unit 13 generates the Kanban data for funds by, for example, generating integrated Kanban data for funds that includes integrated amount data obtained by summing the amount data included in a plurality of Kanban data for funds regarding the confirmed transaction. Integrate. For example, the control unit 13 may integrate multiple pieces of Kanban data for funds on the condition that the payment fulfillment certainty included in the Kanban data for funds is "confirmed", and furthermore, the controller 13 may integrate the Kanban data for funds included in the Kanban data for funds. The integration may be performed on the condition that the settlement date is within a predetermined period.

(3) Medical expense management function 133
(3-1) Medical Expense Kanban Creation Function This is a function that generates Kanban data for funds based on medical expense data obtained from an external system that stores and manages medical expense data of businesses that are medical institutions. For example, the control unit 13 acquires medical expense data (including the scheduled payment amount, scheduled payment date, payment source, and individual transaction number) from an external system, and generates kanban data for funds that includes the scheduled payment amount. It's okay. Further, the control unit 13 may generate kanban data for integrated funds that includes integrated amount data obtained by adding up scheduled payment amounts for medical expense data whose scheduled payment date is within a predetermined period.

The control unit 13 uses transaction information such as the quantity of drugs scheduled to be used during treatment, test items, doctors in charge, and beds in use, to create transaction-oriented information for each of three areas: human resources, drug/medical equipment management, and testing equipment/bed usage management. Kanban data may also be generated.

The generated Kanban data for funds is output, for example, to the (4-1) fund amount forecast creation function described below. The generated Kanban data for transactions may be output, for example, to the (2-2) Kanban division function for transactions. In addition, the generated Kanban data for funds and Kanban data for transactions may be stored in database 12.

<Specific example of Kanban data for funds>
・Pharmaceutical ordering (parts management)
For example, assume that on January 5, 2022, an order is placed for 100 A drugs (unit price: 1,000 yen) from Company A with a delivery date of February 1, 2022. After confirming the delivery, you will pay 108,000 yen including tax on the 15th of the following month (March 15, 2022), which closes at the end of the month. In this case, the control unit 13 determines, based on the above order information, total amount: ▲108,000 yen, payment date: March 15, 2022, payment fulfillment certainty: unconfirmed (or confirmed), order number: Kanban data for funds including 20220105 and Kanban number: 001 may be generated. The payment fulfillment probability may be set to either confirmed or unconfirmed, or may be set from three or more values set depending on the probability (for example, A, B, and C). (may be set to C).

・Part-time staff shift management (personnel management)
For example, assume that on January 17, 2022, a February shift for 15 part-time employees including doctors, nurses, medical personnel, etc. was created with a final date of January 25, 2022. Assume that salaries are paid on the 15th of the following month (March 15th for February). The personnel management information includes the employee name, monthly working hours (individual), estimated salary (individual), payment due date, monthly total working hours, and estimated total salary based on the above. In this case, the control unit 13 determines, based on the personnel management information, the total amount: ▲3,000,000 yen (total value of salary), the payment date: March 15, 2022, and the accuracy of payment performance: (A , B, and C), target month: February, and Kanban number: 002 may be generated.

・Differential bed usage management (equipment/equipment usage management)
Assume that on January 31, 2022, a differential bed usage schedule for March was created. The differential bed usage schedule includes data on the department in charge, type of bed used (private room, special room, etc.), bed usage fee (total by day), and scheduled discharge date (settlement date). In this case, the control unit 13 calculates the total amount: +1,500,000 yen (total value of bed usage fees), the payment date: On March 15, 2022, Kanban data for funds including the payment performance certainty B (out of A, B, and C) and Kanban number: 003 may be generated.

- Integrated kanban data for funds For example, the control unit 13 integrates the kanban data for funds whose kanban numbers are 001 to 003 by distinguishing the payment due date, the certainty of payment performance, and the receipt and payment. For example, Kanban numbers 001 and 002 have a payment due date of March 15, 2022, a payment, and a payment fulfillment probability of B, so the Kanban data for funds for Kanban numbers 001 and 002 will be merged. good. Furthermore, the Kanban number 111 may be assigned to the Kanban data for integrated funds after integration. In this case, the integrated amount of Kanban data for integrated funds with Kanban number 111 is ▲3,108,000 yen. Furthermore, since the Kanban data for funds with Kanban number 003 is income, it is not integrated with the Kanban data for funds with Kanban numbers 001 and 002.

- Addition with fund amount data For example, the control unit 13 adds Kanban data for integrated funds with Kanban number 111 and Kanban data for funds with Kanban number 003 to the amount of funds as of March 15, 2022 (+1,600 ,000 yen). The total result is ▲8,000 yen (=▲3,108,000 yen + 1,500,000 yen + 1,600,000 yen). Thereafter, the control unit 13 generates kanban data for transactions requesting correction of ▲8,000 yen.

- Creation of kanban cards for transactions Based on the above, the control unit 13 generates kanban data for transactions including correction amount: ▲8,000 yen, settlement date: March 15, 2022, and target kanban numbers: 111 and 003. . The generated Kanban data for transactions is stored in a database 12 that stores data on parts, personnel, and equipment/equipment usage. Further, the generated Kanban data for transactions may be transmitted to the server device 10 (10b, 10c, 10d), which is a corresponding external device, via the communication unit 11.

(4) Fund management function 134
The fund management function 134 includes a fund amount prediction creation function, a fund amount excess/deficiency determination function, and a fund amount determination function.

(4-1) Fund amount prediction creation function This is a function to predict the amount of funds of a business operator. For example, the control unit 13 receives the integrated amount data included in the Kanban data for integrated funds generated by the Kanban connection function 132 and the server device 10e (financial accounting management device) in the financial accounting management system that manages finance or accounting. A predicted value of the amount of funds of the business at a predetermined time (a certain timing in the future) is calculated based on the fund data indicating the funds of the business that has been acquired. At this time, the integrated fund-oriented Kanban data used for the calculation may be a combination of fund-oriented Kanban data for settlement dates up to the above-mentioned predetermined time.

(4-2) Function to determine surplus or deficiency in amount of funds This is a function to determine whether there is an excess or deficiency in the amount of funds of the business operator. For example, the control unit 13 determines whether the amount of funds is insufficient or surplus based on the integrated amount data included in the Kanban data for integrated funds generated above, the fund data received from the financial accounting management device, and a predetermined threshold. Determine the presence or absence of. The predetermined threshold may include at least one of an amount threshold and a period threshold, as described above. For example, if the amount (difference) obtained by subtracting the amount indicated by the integrated amount data from the amount indicated by the fund data is positive and is equal to or greater than the threshold value for determining surplus funds, the control unit 13 controls the amount of funds. Alternatively, if the difference is negative and is less than or equal to the threshold value for determining whether there is a shortage of funds, it may be determined that there is a surplus of funds. Further, the control unit 13 may determine whether there is a shortage or surplus in the amount of funds at a time indicated by a period threshold (for example, after a period indicated by the threshold has elapsed since the previous determination).

If it is determined that there is a shortage in the amount of funds, the control unit 13 may transmit a proposal notification regarding a proposal for financing to the financial accounting management device. A proposal notice regarding a funding proposal may, for example, indicate options for funding methods. The options may include, for example, at least some of subsidy, subsidy application, borrowing, factoring, asset sale, and asset liquidation. In addition, the control unit 13 sends the above-mentioned proposal notification indicating the optimal financing method based on the status of the owned assets (asset amount of idle real estate and securities owned) obtained from the external device via the communication unit 11. It may also be sent to a financial accounting management device.

(4-3) Fund amount determination function This is a function to determine the amount of funds of the business operator. For example, when it is determined that there is a shortage in the amount of funds by the (4-2) funds surplus/deficiency determination function, the control unit 13 stores the amount of funds after the change due to fund procurement in the database 12 as the determined amount of funds. Remember.
