Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an office planning editing apparatus used when performing office planning.

[Related Art] In many cases, a relatively large organization such as a company occupies a plurality of floors of a building. In such a case, the organization usually has many manufacturing departments in addition to the general affairs, personnel affairs, and sales departments, and the degree of proximity between departments also becomes diversified. For this reason, if the layout is decided without any consideration, the departments that want a close relationship will be greatly separated above and below the building, making it difficult to communicate, or conversely, departments that want a distant relationship will be on the same floor. , Etc., occur.

Therefore, in recent office planning, we will investigate the strength of the relationship between departments and summarize it as a certain value, and proceed with the placement work while quantitatively grasping the relationship between the departments based on that value. Tend to be.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, each department is tied to a complex causal relationship. If one improves, the other worsens. You have to repeat the correction work like repeating puzzles. However, if you try to do such work by hand using paper and pencil, it is not easy to find clues for correction because it is difficult to grasp the whole, and the more departments, the more rearrangement The amount of effort and time spent on it is immeasurable, as it requires a huge amount of rewriting, and until the rewriting is over, it is not possible to know whether or not the rearrangement is necessary.

An object of the present invention is to provide an editing apparatus for office planning that can provide such work with a reasonable ratio.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention employs the following means to achieve the above object.

That is, the editing apparatus for office planning according to the present invention can display a section column for listing a plurality of section names and a correlation matrix for associating any two sections with the sections listed in this section column. It is possible to input a department name in the department column and a setting value representing the relationship strength between each department, and change the arrangement of the department column on the graphic screen. An input operation means that enables the user to input an actual department name in the section column and an identifier such as a color or gradation when the set value indicating the strength of the relationship between the respective sections is input. And an operation display means having a function of displaying the intersection at the intersection on the corresponding correlation matrix, and when the arrangement of the section columns is changed through the input operation means. Wherein the calculation display means is configured to automatically update the display of the identifier, and the intersection of the correlation matrix corresponds to the vertex of a triangle in which the section between the two sections in the section column is regarded as the base. Things,
On the graphic screen, the section column is divided into groups corresponding to the office building hierarchy, and the total of the section area requested by the section input through the input operation means for each group is related to the floor area of the floor. In addition to displaying on the graphic screen at the time, when the total area of the departments on each floor greatly exceeds the floor area of that floor, the input operation means becomes inoperable or a warning is displayed on the graphic screen It is characterized by comprising.

Under such a form, the setting value indicating the relationship strength is
It is effective to correspond to the degree of proximity between departments or the degree of estrangement between departments.

[Operation] According to such an editing apparatus, a complicated causal relationship between departments can be visually grasped on a graphic screen, and a correction operation can be steadily advanced through input operation means while performing a simple operation. . In other words, given a certain department array, the current array can be properly evaluated if the distribution of identifiers automatically displayed on the graphic screen by the calculation display means is far from the ideal distribution. In addition, by using distant identifiers as clues, corrective work can be given direction. In addition, the correction work only needs to be performed by exchanging departments on the graphic screen using the input operation means, and the right or wrong of the correction can be immediately determined through a new identifier distribution automatically updated by the calculation display means after the operation.

In addition to the above, the intersection of the correlation matrix
Since the divisions correspond to the vertices of the triangle that is regarded as the base, and the identifier is displayed at the intersection, making the divisions closer means that the position of the identifier is closer to the base of the correlation matrix. It can be replaced with a visual recognition form, and the separation between departments can be replaced with a visual recognition form of bringing the position of the identifier closer to the top of the correlation matrix.

Also, on the graphic screen, the section column is divided into groups corresponding to the office building hierarchy, and the sum of the section area required by the section input to each group is graphically represented in relation to the floor area of that floor. Since the information is displayed on the screen, it is convenient to make the department arrangement correspond to the office building hierarchy.

Furthermore, when the total area of the departments on each floor greatly exceeds the floor area of that floor, the input operation means becomes inoperable or a warning is displayed on the graphic screen, so vertical zoning work is performed. And floor zoning work can be accurately and well balanced.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The office planning editing apparatus according to this embodiment utilizes a computer system H shown in FIG. 2, and this system has at least a processor h ₁ , a memory h _2, and an interface h ₃ , which serve as arithmetic display means.
And keyboard h ₄ and mouse h as input operation means
₅ and CRT which is a means to output graphic screen
And a display h ₆ Tokyo. The memory h ₂ Yes stores a program for controlling the processor h _1, the operator has to be able to proceed according to the office planning interactively in accordance with this program.

The pillar of the work is vertical zoning (V zoning), which determines which department is assigned to which floor of the office, and floor zoning (F, which determines how the assigned department is further expanded on the floor).
Zoning). If the V zoning is inaccurate, the next F zoning may be completely meaningless.

Substantial work in V zoning is started from the time when the graphics window G shown in Figure 3 on the CRT display h ₆ is displayed. As a preparation for displaying this screen G, first, a survey sheet S shown in FIG. 4 is distributed to each section to be subjected to office planning, and how the position of one section is relative to another section is described. Ask for what you want. Here, the survey is performed in such a manner that "+" is entered when a close position is desired, "-" is entered when a distant position is desired, and blank if no particular problem occurs. Then, when the departments want to be located at each other, they have a close proximity relationship (++). When one of the departments wants a near location, they have a single proximity relationship (++). One of the departments wants a near location and the other is far. A reciprocal relationship (+-) if a position is desired, a sparse relationship (-) if one of the departments wants a distant position, or a reciprocal relationship (-) if one of the departments wants a location far from each other. −−) Each evaluation is given. The set values in parentheses are set values corresponding to the evaluation, and are directly handled as computer input data. These may be numerical values that are easy to input, for example, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, and the like. In addition, when conducting the above-mentioned survey, the section area required by each section is also described.

After such an investigation, the keyboard h ₄ and the mouse
perform data entry work to the computer system F by using the h _5. First, as department information, the department names of the general affairs department, accounting department, human resources department, etc. involved in the above-described investigation are registered, and then, the set values (++) to (−−) existing between the specific departments are registered.
Enter the department area required by each department. Before and after these, the property information, that is, the floor area of each floor from the first floor to the sixth floor of the office to be moved in is also input.

When the end of preparation of the above, the third on the CRT display h ₆
The graphic screen G shown in the figure is displayed. This screen G
Is composed of a section column A ₁ , a section column A ₂ , a correlation matrix B, a floor area column C, and a section area column D, on which the previous input data is placed. That is, in the section columns A ₁ and A ₂ , all the inputted sections are arranged and displayed, for example, in the order of input, and among these, only the section number given at the time of input is arranged and displayed in the section section A ₂ . In these sections A ₁ and A ₂ ,
Each department is grouped along the hierarchy of the office building from 1F to 6F, but this is linked to the property information when entering the department information as described above, and is it in the form of specifying the department for each floor? Alternatively, when the floor area of each floor from 1F to 6F is input as the property information, the computer automatically organizes the information, and is provisional and is subject to correction later. Correlation matrix B, a large number of diamond-shaped intersection b associating any two relative sector to be listed in sector column A ₂
The setting value (+
For +) to (−−), a predetermined identifier E is assigned to a specific intersection b corresponding to a vertex of a triangle whose section is regarded as the base.
Is automatically displayed. Identifier E consists of five types of gradient e ₁ ~e _5, each gradation e ₁ ~
e ₅ Each five stages set value (++) ~ - corresponds to (). For example, if there is a set value between sector 16, 27 (++), the intersection b _16-27 corresponding to the vertex of the triangle resemble the base between sector numbers 16, 27 of the sector column A ₂ in FIG. 3 identifier e ₁ is displayed. The floor area column C displays the area value input as property information for each floor from 1F to 6F, and the section area column D automatically displays the total of the section area for each group of 1F to 6F.

Next, the V zoning operation performed on the graphic screen G will be described. In this screen G, the mouse h ₅
One operation is possible, the particular from Figure 5 (a) division sequence displayed currently on the sector column A ₂ as shown in using such,
For example, 13 to select with the mouse h ₅ or the like, which among other sectors, for example, by moving between 5,6, so that it can be interrupted between the sectors 5 and 6 as shown in FIG. (B) It has become. In this case, each section from 6 to 12 is shifted right by one, and linked to this, the display position of the related identifier b, the section arrangement in the section columns A ₁ and A ₂ , and the section area D The display contents are automatically rewritten. Based on such an operation, both proximity (+
+) And departments in a one-sided proximity (+) relationship are made as close to each other as possible, and departments in a bipartite (−−) and one-sidedly distant (−) relationship are separated from each other as much as possible.
We will work to place departments that are related to each other in a position that is not too close or not too far away. In this case, the position of the identifier E is a large guide. That is, the identifier E is displayed at the intersection b corresponding to the vertex of the triangle resemble correlation matrix on B as described above, the bottom between the two divisions of sector column A _2. For this reason, to make the departments close to each other is to bring the positions of the identifiers e ₁ and e ₂ closer to the bottom of the correlation matrix B, and to separate the departments is to make the positions of the identifiers e ₄ and e ₅ This is equivalent to approaching the vertex of the correlation matrix B. Therefore, the judgment as to whether or not the array is appropriate can be obtained based on how many such identifiers e _{1 to} e ₅ are located at positions contrary to their properties and how few. And amendments should, in principle, start from where it is farthest away.

In this embodiment, if the sum of the section areas greatly exceeds the floor area of the floor in the group corresponding to 1F to 6F during the operation, for example, an asterisk as illustrated in the section area column D Warning is lit. When this warning is turned on, it becomes practically difficult to allocate all the departments in the group to the corresponding floor, and the operator avoids such warning and proceeds with the operation.

Thus, with such a device, particularly in this embodiment, the identifiers e ₁ and e ₂ are given the highest priority and approached to the bottom of the correlation matrix B, and the identifiers e ₄ and e ₅ are set as long as circumstances permit.
As a result of proceeding with the policy of approaching the top of, for example, the identifier distribution shown in FIG. 1 can be obtained. When this figure is compared with FIG. 3, it can be considered that the identifier distribution is clearly improved, and the department arrangement is also correspondingly improved according to the actual situation between the departments.
In addition, no warning is issued in the section area column D under this section arrangement. Therefore, there is no problem in allocating departments to each floor according to the arrangement and the groups, and it is possible to effectively shift to the next F zoning operation.

Note that the identifier e ₁ phase close in above but in principle it is in the same floor, for example, across the 1F and 2F as identifiers e ₁ on the first drawing intersection b _16-27 Things may remain. In such a case, it is sufficient to deal with them by bringing them closer to the elevator hall or the stairs, so that the above principle need not be an absolute condition. In the section area column D, 4F does not warn, but slightly exceeds the floor area. In such a case,
There is no problem because adjustments such as reducing the required area of the department are performed in the F zoning performed later. Furthermore, the configuration of the graphic screen, the device used for implementing the device, and the like are not limited to the illustrated examples, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[Effect of the Invention] As described above, the editing apparatus for office planning according to the present invention enables the determination of the necessity of the department arrangement through the distribution of the identifiers on the correlation matrix, and the display on the graphic screen is calculated. The arrangement is automatically performed by the display means, and the arrangement rearrangement can be sequentially performed in an interactive manner while observing the change in the distribution of the identifier through the input operation means. As a result, this kind of cluttered work can be performed very simply and streamlined. In particular, according to the present invention, it is easier to add a consciousness at the discretion of the operator than in a case where the calculation is strictly automatically performed by a program. This has an extremely practical effect of being able to move forward.

At this time, the intersections of the correlation matrix correspond to the vertices of a triangle that defines the base between the two sections in the section column,
Since the identifier is displayed at the intersection, the approaching between departments can be replaced with a visual recognition form in which the position of the identifier is closer to the bottom of the correlation matrix. Can be replaced with a visual recognition form in which the position of the identifier is closer to the top of the correlation matrix, and the visibility can be improved.

Also, on the graphic screen, the section column is divided into groups corresponding to the office building hierarchy, and the sum of the section area required by the section input to each group is graphically represented in relation to the floor area of that floor. Since it is displayed on the screen, it is possible to give convenience to the work of making the department arrangement correspond to the office building hierarchy.

Furthermore, when the total area of the departments on each floor greatly exceeds the floor area of that floor, the input operation means becomes inoperable or a warning is displayed on the graphic screen, so vertical zoning work is performed. And the floor zoning work can be accurately and well balanced.
