Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a business ordering party selection method for selecting a business subcontractor.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In system development, system design at the time of development and programming work after that are often partly or entirely entrusted to an external software development company (commonly known as a software house) (outsourcing).
[0003]
As a system that mediates between such a subcontractor and a business orderer, proposals such as the following patent documents have been made.
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-202430
[Patent Document 2]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-344289
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the case of outsourcing as described above, it is not always possible to place an order only with a software development company that has a business in the past. Depending on the situation, it may be outsourced to a software development company that has not had a transaction in the past, and if the skill level of the person in charge is insufficient for the contents of the commissioned work (although the official information processing qualification holder was assigned as the charge, Public qualifications are only a guideline, such as lack of practical experience or lack of communication skills, and are often used in cases where it is not useful for skill judgment.) There is a risk of inviting.
[0007]
Also, for software development companies, it was impossible to grasp the difficulty of work at the time of contracting, and it was decided that it could be handled once. Inconvenience to the original, forcing high-skilled employees who are in charge of other systems in the company forcibly, or re-entrusting to a further software development company, there is a large expense for maintaining credit May be necessary.
[0008]
Patent Document 1 is configured to select (successfully) a supplier based on the business contract price, and does not consider the skill level of the contractor.
[0009]
The above-mentioned Patent Document 2 discloses that an optimum manufacturer for receiving an order is selected with reference to a pre-registered level of an order-receiver, and this level criterion is also described in the item [5]. As shown in the table, past results such as orders received and work results are ranked and registered, and it is not possible to check the suitability for new work.
[0010]
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is possible to select a contractor that the ordering party can trust and consign the work. The purpose is to make it possible to judge the order received by examining whether or not there is.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the business ordering party selection support method of the present invention is:
A business ordering party selection support method executed by an intermediary side system connected to a business orderer side terminal and a business bidder side system so as to be capable of bidirectional communication, wherein the intermediary side system includes the business orderer side terminal A process for accepting the business order information sent from, a process for creating a search key from the information items included in the business order information, searching the skill confirmation sample problem DB, and extracting the skill confirmation sample problem; A process of associating the business order information with the extracted skill confirmation sample problem and presenting it in a form that can be referred to by the business bidder side system, and the answer of the skill confirmation sample problem from the business bidder side system Processing for accepting bidding information including the skill confirmation received from the business bidder side system to the business orderer side system A process of sending the bid information including answers sample problem, is characterized in that the run.
[0012]
Further, in the present invention, information items included in the business order information include business difficulty level information, and the broker side system further includes difficulty level index information for calculating the difficulty level. It is preferable that the processing presented in a form that can be referred to from the business orderer side system is executed.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0015]
1 is a server on the broker (business ordering party selection support trader) side, 2 is a terminal provided in a company on the orderer side, and 31 and 32 are terminals provided in a company on the bidder side. In FIG. 1, for simplicity of illustration and explanation, only one terminal on the orderer side and only two on the bidder side are used. However, in actual operation, a large number of terminals are connected to each other. The mediation service by the server 1 can be received.
[0016]
The broker side server 1 and each of the terminal devices 2, 31, and 32 are connected to a communication line (generally the Internet) 4 so that bidirectional communication is possible.
[0017]
The broker side server 1 is provided with a difficulty index table 11 and a skill confirmation sample question database 12 (hereinafter referred to as a sample question DB).
[0018]
The intermediary server 1 implements the following functions by installing a program for executing processing according to the following embodiment by reading from a recording medium or downloading from a communication line.
[0019]
Next, processing according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
[0020]
When an orderer entrusts work such as system design and programming work to the outside, first, when the orderer side terminal 2 is used to access the site of the broker side 1 (S101), the broker side terminal 1 makes it difficult. Along with the display content of the degree index table 11, a script for executing processing for calculating the difficulty level at the orderer side terminal 2 is transmitted (S102).
[0021]
The orderer side terminal 2 displays the difficulty level index table 11 (S103), and the received script calculates the difficulty level based on the input from the orderer (S104). For example, when the difficulty level index table as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, the script for calculating the difficulty level adds the difficulty level corresponding to the item by clicking on the corresponding item (in simple addition, Alternatively, a calculation criterion set according to a weight based on a coefficient or a condition based on item selection may be used), and the predicted difficulty level N is calculated. In the present embodiment in which the difficulty level calculation is operated on the broker-side server 1, aptitude diagnosis may be performed by a CGI application operating on the recruiting-side recruitment server 1. )
The orderer also inputs the contents of the ordering work to the orderer side terminal 2 (this input screen is also obtained by accessing the broker side server 1), the inputted ordering work contents information and the calculated expected difficulty level Is transmitted to the broker side server 1 (S105).
[0022]
Items of ordering work content information input by the orderer include, for example, budget, scale, period, required skills, number of required personnel, ordering work field, presence / absence of new technology, and the like.
[0023]
The broker side server 1 creates a key for searching the sample question DB based on the information received from the orderer side terminal 2 (S106).
[0024]
An example of the sample problem DB is shown in FIG.
[0025]
In the example of FIG. 4, the difficulty level is set for each business field, and a system design problem, a program design problem, and a programming problem are prepared for each difficulty level.
[0026]
In the broker side server 1, the ordering work field and the difficulty level included in the received ordering work content information are set as search keys.
[0027]
Of these, for the difficulty level, the difficulty level sent from the orderer side terminal 1 may be used as it is, but in order to extract a suitable sample problem, correction is made based on the items included in the ordering work content information. It is desirable to do.
[0028]
An example of this correction will be shown.
Reference is made to the standard scale / period table shown in FIG. 5 using the scale included in the ordering work content information as a key, and the lower limit of the standard period is compared with the period corresponding to the scale and the period included in the ordering work content information. If it is within the range, the difficulty level is set to plus 1, and if it is not less than the upper limit of the standard period, the difficulty level is set to minus 1.
・ If it is necessary to apply new technology, the difficulty level is set to 1.
[0029]
Based on the search key described above, the sample problem corresponding to the business content to be ordered and the (correction) difficulty level is extracted from the sample problem DB (S10 7) and presented to the orderer side terminal 2 (S 10 8).
[0030]
In this presentation process, the sample problem may be transmitted directly to the orderer-side terminal 2, but only the notification for prompting the download may be transmitted and downloaded in response to a request from the orderer-side terminal 2. good.
[0031]
When the orderer-side terminal 2 receives a notification prompting download, it downloads the sample problem to be checked, and the person in charge checks it and transmits the result (S109). In the example of FIG. 4, three types of sample questions, system design, program design, and programming, are prepared. The orderer chooses which one to check, and check some of them. However, it is possible to check all of them or not to check all of them (left to the broker server).
[0032]
In addition, the orderer side selects a sample question to be presented to the bidder side in consideration of the preparation of the answer on the bidder side (to be described later) and the check of the sample question on the orderer side, and selects an intermediary. The server 1 may be instructed.
[0033]
The broker side server 1 that has received the answer / instruction from the orderer side terminal 2 associates the ordering work content information with the sample problem to be answered by the bidder side, and then selects the bidder side terminal 3n (31, 32. ..) is presented in a referable form (S110).
[0034]
The presenting process may be posted on the website in a form in which a bidder company participating in the brokerage service registers as a member and can be referred to by the bidder-side terminal 3n authenticated based on the member registration, Further, the order contents may be notified to the bidder side terminal 3n of the member company by e-mail or the like.
[0035]
In the bidder-side terminal 3n, referring to the contents of the ordering work presented by the broker-side server 1, when trying to bid, the associated sample problem is downloaded (S111).
[0036]
From the bidder side terminal 3n of the bidder who bids, the answer of the sample problem created by the person in charge is attached to the bid information (company outline, bid price, etc.) and sent to the broker side server 1 (S112). ).
[0037]
The broker side server 1 transfers the received bidding information and the answer to the sample question to the orderer side terminal 2 (S113).
[0038]
The orderer selects a bidder to place an order in consideration of the conditions included in the bid information received at the orderer side terminal 2 and the answers to the sample questions (S114). The selection result is notified to the bidder side terminal 3n through the broker server 1 or directly.
[0039]
Although this embodiment is an application example when selecting a subcontractor for system development or programming work, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the present invention can be applied to various subcontractor selection support such as selection of a document creation agency.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the business order supplier selection support method of the present invention, according to the application reception method, the order supplier can select an order supplier that can be satisfied by the answer contents of the skill confirmation sample problem. It is possible to select a contractor who can trust the source and request the business.
[0041]
In addition, it is possible for a contracting contractor to answer whether or not it is a task that can be handled by the company by answering (considering) the sample questions, so that the order can be judged. Risk at the time of contract can be minimized.
