[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a physical distribution management device, and more specifically, for example, industrial waste or medical waste, etc., especially tracking control suitable for collection and disposal of important items such as dangerous and toxic and important for management. The present invention relates to a physical distribution management device that can be performed.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 It is widely known that the distribution of goods is becoming more and more complicated and increasing day by day with the development of economic society, among them industrial waste, hospitals, medical research institutes, etc. Medical waste discharged from the medical institutions in Japan is required to be strictly treated in accordance with the Waste Management Law. These wastes are separated from general wastes, and are classified into the properties of the wastes (liquid, sharp substance, solid) and stored in special containers, and in principle, sterilization such as incineration is performed. Be seen.

The medical waste stored in the dedicated container is generally delivered from a medical institution to an intermediary company (collection / transporter), and then disposed of by the intermediary company to a disposal company. Is common.

The distribution management in this case is conventionally performed by a so-called copy slip. For example, in FIG. 4, when the waste Z is delivered from the medical institution A to the intermediary B, a plurality of copy slips (i. First, the name of the discharging medical institution, the name of the collecting company, the discharging date, etc. are written in (1), (2), and (3). hand over. Further, when the intermediate company B hands over the waste to the processing company C, the intermediate company B further fills in predetermined items on the copy slips (b, c), removes the copy (b) of the intermediate company B, and discards the waste Z together with the completed slip. To the processing company C. Then, at the time when the waste Z is disposed of, the disposal company C fills in the predetermined items such as the incineration date and the like on the remaining slip (c). That is, the processing flow is confirmed by checking the copy (a) of the medical institution side, the copy (b) of the intermediary company, and the copy (c) of the processing company by the copy slip.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such distribution management of goods using copy slips, it is possible to manipulate the slips illegally, and an intermediary company or a disposal contractor may pass the wastes to a general waste disposal route such as landfill or illegally dump them. In many cases, however, it is difficult to detect the illegality, and in the case where the illegality is dumped or crossed into the general waste disposal route such as landfill, medical waste also contains infectious substances. Therefore, it becomes a very serious social problem.

The present invention focuses on such conventional problems, and collects medical waste from medical institutions, intermediaries who collect and transport the waste, and waste delivered from the intermediary. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new material distribution management device which can be confirmed to have passed through a normal distribution channel to a disposal company for disposal.

In addition, the present invention confirms that the medical institution that has discharged the waste has properly processed the waste discharged by the medical institution without replacing it with another waste. It is an object of the present invention to provide a physical distribution management device that can be obtained.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the physical distribution management apparatus of the present invention includes a host computer, a first online terminal connected to the host computer and provided on the sending side of articles arranged at remote locations from each other, A second online terminal provided on the final receiving side of the article, first article information input from the first online terminal, and second article information input from the second online terminal Consistency confirming means for article information provided in the host computer for confirming the presence or absence of the product information, and means for comparing article information provided in the host computer for comparing the contents of the article information confirmed by the consistency confirming means. And a means for outputting the article information for outputting the comparison result compared by the comparison means to the first online terminal. A plurality of the first online terminal and the second online terminal are provided.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, for example, the medical institution side that discharges medical waste, the first article information input to the first online terminal, and the processing company that processes and processes the waste. The matching confirmation means confirms the second article information input by the side to the second online terminal. Then, when the matching confirmation means confirms the matching between the first product information and the second product information, the specific product information of the input product information is compared. The comparison result can be confirmed on the first online terminal on the medical institution side. Therefore, if the comparison result is normal (in agreement), it is confirmed that the waste itself discharged by the medical institution was properly processed without being replaced with other waste.

【Example】

 An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to physical distribution management of medical waste will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows an example of an online system diagram for explaining the present invention. In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 2 are first online terminals, which are installed in a medical institution A such as a hospital or a medical research institute. Further, reference numerals 3 and 4 are also online terminals, which are installed in, for example, an office of an intermediary company B such as a collection company. Further, reference numerals 5 and 6 are also similar second online terminals, which are installed in, for example, an office of a processing company C for incineration or the like.

These terminals 1 to 6 are so-called personal computers, and these terminals 1 to 6 use modems 7 to 12 and communication to configure online using public communication lines (telephone lines), respectively. Network control units (hereinafter referred to as NCUs) 13 to 18 are attached. Keyboards 19 to 24 as input devices are connected to the terminals 1 to 6, respectively.

Each of the NCUs 13 to 18 attached to the terminals 1 to 6 is connected to a telephone line network 25 to 27, respectively, and these telephone line networks 25 to 27 are connected via inter-network connecting devices 28 to 30, respectively. It is connected to the packet switching network 31. The packet switching network 31 is connected to a line terminating device (hereinafter referred to as DCE) 33 of a computer center 32, and a host computer 35 is connected to the DCE 33 through a packet assembling / disassembling device (hereinafter referred to as PAD) 34. It is a connected configuration.

In the above configuration, the data input by the keyboards 19 to 24 connected to the terminals 1 to 6 are transmitted to the inter-network connection devices 28 to 30 via the telephone line networks 25 to 27, respectively. It

Transmission control means between the inter-network connecting devices 28 to 30 and the terminals 1 to 6 is predetermined, and for example, data transmission from the terminal 1 to the packet switching network 31 is as follows. Done. First, the terminal 1 operates the internal NCU 13 to perform an on-hook operation. Next, the terminal 1 detects the dial tone transmitted from the exchange in the telephone network 25, and when the dial tone is detected, the dial pulse corresponding to the number of the host computer 35 of the center 32 is transmitted. . As a result, the incoming call packet is transferred to the PAD 34 via the DCE33. When the PAD 34 returns the incoming call acceptance packet, the intercommunication device 28 detects a communication start signal to the terminal device 1 and data communication is started.

At the end of data communication, the NCU 13 in the terminal 1 restores the telephone line (on-hook). As a result, the disconnect instruction packet is transmitted to the PAD 34. In response to this disconnection instruction packet, the PAD 34 sends a disconnection confirmation packet to the packet exchange network 31. Reference numerals 36 and 37 in the figure are output forms created by the printer in the first online terminal 1. As described above, the medical institution A, the intermediary company B, and the processing company C can exchange data with the terminals 1 to 6 installed therein.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a data file stored in the host computer 35 arranged in the center 32. That is, a file number is given to each of the data files, and this file number becomes the ID of the container that stores the waste. Then, for each file number, the No. 1 to No. Items up to n are set. For example, in the case where the medical institution A delivers the container containing the waste to the intermediary B, a label with a series of different file numbers is attached to each container. At the same time, each final number is called by the keyboard 19 of the first online terminal 1, and for each final number, for example, item 1 is the name of the discharging medical institution, item 2 is the name of the collecting company (intermediate company), and item 3 is the discharging date. Further, specific information such as the weight (Kg) of the discharge container is input to the item 4. Further, in the item 5, a code for identifying what kind of information is recorded in the item 4 is recorded. For example, in this example, this code is populated with the number of items to compare later. That is, as will be described later, the weight (Kg) of the container is weighed immediately before the incinerator is processed by the disposal company, and the program is set so that this information is stored in the item 10. The code "" is recorded.

Then, the intermediate company B receives each container and conveys it to the processing company C. At this time, each file number is called out, for example, by the keyboard 21 of the terminal 3 based on the file number written on the label attached to each container, and is collected and transported for each file number, for example, item 6. Enter the date of consignment, the name of the incinerator in Item 7, and the data such as the property code in Item 8. These data are stored in the host computer 35 via the packet switching network 31.

In this case, the information of each item 1 to 5 already input in the medical institution A is configured such that the terminal 3 of the intermediary B cannot make an inquiry.

Further, the processing company C, which has received each container from the intermediary company, incinerates each received container. At this time, based on the file number written on the label attached to each container, for example, the respective file numbers are called by the keyboard 23 of the terminal 5, and for each file number, for example, the item 9 Input data such as incineration date, weight (Kg) in item 10, and incineration temperature in item 11. These data are also stored in the host computer 35 via the packet switching network 31.

In this case, the information of each item 1 to 5 already input at the medical institution A and the information of each item 6 to 8 input at the intermediary B are the second online terminal 5 of the processor C. In the above, the inquiry is impossible, or even if the inquiry is possible, the correction cannot be made.

When data is input to at least the items 1 to 5 input at the medical institution A and the items 9 to 11 input at the processor C, the input item information can be matched. As a result, the host computer 35 judges and writes the flag "1" in the item n of the corresponding file. (Consistency check procedure)

When the flag “1” is written in the item n, the code of the item 5 is referred to. The code in this case is "10", as described above, so the data recorded in item 10 and the data recorded in item 4 are compared. (Comparison means)

At this time, it is possible to output information such as individual distribution routes or processing conditions of the waste obtained from the intermediary company or the disposal company on the form. In this case, the information may be output on the display screen without being output as a form.

The data recorded in the item 10 is the weight (Kg) of the container weighed immediately before incineration by the processor C, and the data described in the item 4 was weighed by the medical institution A side. It is the weight (Kg) of the container. If the comparison result is within the predetermined range, for example, the code “1” meaning “match” is recorded in the item n−1, and if the comparison result exceeds the predetermined range, the item n-1 is displayed. A code "0" which means "mismatch" is recorded in -1.

Then, by operating the keyboard 1 in the terminal 1 of the medical institution A, for example, and by inputting a remote batch command to output the file information in which the flag “1” is written to the printer, The list regarding the wastes processed by the processing company C is output as the form 36. (Output means)

When the form 36 is edited, the code of item n-1 is referred to, and the name of “match” or “mismatch” is set for each final number, so that the medical institution discharges it. It can be determined whether the waste has been replaced with another. The information output on the form as described above can be output on the display screen.

In the above description of the embodiments, the example in which the physical distribution management in the treatment of medical waste is applied has been described, but the present invention can be easily applied to general physical distribution management.
