Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a dispatch creation apparatus that creates a service based on a request for each flight in a transportation business for transporting goods using a vehicle, and allocates a vehicle and a worker to the created service, and in particular, a dispatch The present invention relates to a vehicle allocation creation device that can also respond to a temporary flight request generated after creation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a carrier that undertakes the transportation of luggage from an unspecified number of customers, a lot of consignment sales offices are set up to store the luggage entrusted by each customer, and the vehicle (employee) of the transportation company is on board Visit each consignment office to collect the consignment from each customer and take it back to the distribution center. Conversely, there are cases where packages are delivered from the delivery center to each customer's home.
[0003]
In such a distribution center, there are many cases of seven days a week, and workers on each vehicle perform shift work. In addition to “day shift” from morning to evening, one day shift includes “late shift” from evening to midnight, “night shift” where the work spans two days across the night. Furthermore, since the work of collecting and delivering luggage on vehicles such as trucks is a long-time work and an arduous task, a work system is adopted in which one work cycle takes three days, with two days working and one day resting. Sometimes it is. In addition, there is a “working reserve” or the like that allows the user to go to work immediately when he / she is requested to work without waiting for work. Of course, there are paid holidays (annual leave).
[0004]
Therefore, the manager of the business establishment (delivery center) grasps the work status of each worker belonging to this business establishment in a list form. In addition, the manager also knows in a list form the type of each vehicle registered at this office and whether it can be operated or not considering vehicle inspection and vehicle inspection.
[0005]
And it is necessary to assign a vehicle and a worker to each flight that specifies the route and operation time (departure time, arrival time) depending on the amount of luggage to be transported. When the number increases and the number of vehicles and the number of workers are large, it is very cumbersome for the person in charge of the dispatching to allocate manually, and it becomes difficult to allocate to each worker fairly.
[0006]
In view of this, a vehicle allocation creation device that makes this allocation process by a computer has been proposed. In this dispatching device, a “flight” is a set of materials consisting of a route from a departure point through a necessary stop point to the end point, and an operation time from the departure time to the arrival (end) time. It is defined as a transportation business.
[0007]
“Service” is a collection of one “flight” or multiple “flights”, and is composed of a single route and a single operation time. It is defined as a transportation work that can be executed by one vehicle and one worker.
[0008]
Further, “Vehicle allocation” is defined as a final state in which vehicles and workers are assigned to each “service” and output.
[0009]
Further, in the vehicle allocation creation device, a vehicle management information file for storing the vehicle status including the vehicle type and the vehicle operation / impossibility in consideration of the vehicle inspection and vehicle inspection, etc. of each vehicle registered in the establishment mentioned above, and A worker management information file for storing the work status of each worker belonging to this office is provided.
[0010]
In this vehicle allocation creation device, first, for example, one or a plurality of “feces” that have been operated and input for one month or one month are collectively created for “service”. Next, each vehicle in the vehicle management information file is assigned to each “service” designating the created route and operation time so that the operation time does not overlap. Furthermore, for each “service” to which each vehicle is assigned, each worker who is not an annual holiday or holiday in the worker management information file is assigned so that the operation time does not overlap. Then, the “allocation” in which the vehicle and the worker are assigned to each “service” is printed and output as a allocation list.
[0011]
The manager of the distribution center arranges each vehicle and each worker for each “flight” or each “service” according to the vehicle allocation table created by the vehicle allocation creation device.
[0012]
As described above, by automatically assigning the vehicle and the worker to the generated flight request by using the vehicle allocation creation device, it is possible to greatly reduce the office processing efficiency in the distribution center.
[0013]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described vehicle allocation creation device still has the following problems that should be improved.
[0014]
That is, in general, in the transportation business of transporting goods using a vehicle, the amount and route of goods to be transported are predicted in advance, and necessary flights are set to create a dispatch. However, during the mid-year and year-end seasons, temporary flights are operated to handle the temporary increase in transportation of goods.
[0015]
In this way, when it is necessary to operate a temporary flight, the delivery center manager and the person in charge of the dispatch are not in charge of the vehicles or crews that have exceeded the corresponding operation time while referring to the already prepared dispatch schedule. Workers were assigned to the corresponding temporary flights.
[0016]
However, since the distribution center manager and dispatcher were manually assigned to the temporary flights mentioned above, it was very cumbersome and occurred for the manager and staff. It becomes difficult to always allocate special flights to the best workers.
[0017]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and even when a request for a temporary flight is newly generated in a state where a vehicle or a worker has already been assigned to each service, a vehicle for the temporary flight is generated. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle assignment creation device that can automatically assign workers and can greatly reduce the burden of paperwork on the person in charge of the distribution center and the person in charge of vehicle assignment.
[0018]
It is another object of the present invention to provide a vehicle allocation creation device that can automatically assign an optimal worker for a temporary flight and that can efficiently carry out transportation work for the operator side and the worker.
[0019]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention provides a vehicle management information file that stores the type of each vehicle registered in a business office that carries transportation work and the operational / impossible state, and the optimum work location and attendance for each worker belonging to the business office. In the worker management information file that stores the situation, the assignment processing unit that assigns vehicles and workers to the corresponding service for each service consisting of the route for transporting goods and the operation time, and this assignment processing unit The present invention is applied to a vehicle allocation creation device having a vehicle assigned to each service and an operation management information file for storing workers.
[0020]
And in order to eliminate the said subject, in the dispatch preparation apparatus of this invention, according to the temporary flight request | requirement which designated the newly input route of transport, operation time, and a vehicle type, the operation | movement which the applicable temporary flight designates Candidate vehicle extraction means for extracting a vehicle that satisfies the conditions of time and vehicle type as a candidate vehicle with reference to the vehicle management information file and the operation management information file, and the operation time specified by the corresponding temporary flight according to the temporary flight request Candidate worker extraction means for extracting a worker who satisfies the condition as a candidate worker with reference to the operation management information file from the worker management information file, and each candidate vehicle extracted by the candidate vehicle extraction means and the candidate worker extraction means And candidate display means for displaying and outputting each candidate worker.
[0021]
In the vehicle allocation device configured in this way, when a request for a temporary flight is newly generated in a vehicle allocation state in which a vehicle or a service for each service has already been assigned, first, an operation management information file is generated from the vehicle management information file. Is automatically extracted as a candidate vehicle that satisfies the condition of the operation time specified by the temporary flight. Subsequently, the operation management information file is referred to from the worker management information file, and candidate workers who similarly satisfy the operation time conditions are automatically extracted. Then, each extracted candidate vehicle and each candidate worker are displayed.
[0022]
Therefore, the person in charge of the distribution center or the person in charge of dispatching only needs to select and specify one vehicle and one worker for the temporary flight generated this time from the displayed candidate vehicle and candidate worker. .
[0023]
Moreover, another invention further includes an optimum work location detection means for searching for the optimum work location of each candidate worker displayed by the candidate display means from the worker management information file, with respect to the vehicle allocation creation device of the invention described above. The candidate worker selecting means for displaying the candidate worker whose optimum work place detected by the optimum work place detecting means includes the route of the temporary flight as the optimum candidate worker.
[0024]
In the vehicle assignment creation device configured as described above, the worker who is most familiar with the route of the temporary flight is selected from the candidate workers previously extracted, so that the transportation work can be carried out more efficiently.
[0025]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a vehicle allocation creating apparatus according to the embodiment.
[0026]
This vehicle allocation creation device is constituted by a kind of information processing device such as a computer. In the vehicle allocation creation device, an operation unit 1 comprising a display 1a and a keyboard 1b, a flight buffer 2 for temporarily storing a flight request specifying a route and operating time input via the operation unit 1, a vehicle A management information file 3, an employee / part-time information file 4 as a worker management information file, an operation management information file 5, an assignment processing unit 6 and a printing unit 7 are provided.
[0027]
The flight buffer 2 stores a flight request specifying a route and operation time for one month input via the operation unit 1 in order to create a next month's dispatch, for example. A normal flight buffer 2a, and a temporary flight buffer 2b that stores a request for a temporary flight that has occurred suddenly during a period in which the dispatch has been completed.
[0028]
In the temporary flight buffer 2b, as shown in FIG. 2, the operation date, departure place, stopover place, arrival place, departure time, arrival time, vehicle type, type, etc. are written for each generated temporary flight. . Note that the same information as the temporary flight buffer 2b is also stored in the normal flight buffer 2a.
[0029]
In the vehicle management information file 3, as shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle type, type, body shape, vehicle ID, current vehicle of each vehicle registered in the business site for each business site including the distribution center. The situation is stored.
[0030]
In the employee / part-time job information file 4, as shown in FIG. 5, the employee code, name, The date of birth, the date of joining, the distinction between full-time employees or part-time workers, the company office, the driving qualification, the optimal driving area, and the attendance status described above at the corresponding calendar date are stored.
[0031]
For example, the allocation processing unit 6 creates a dispatch for one month of the next month at the end of the month. Specifically, as described above, the person in charge of dispatching creates a “service” by putting together one or more “flights” for one month written in the normal flight buffer 2 a via the operation unit 1. To do. Next, each vehicle in the vehicle management information file 3 is assigned to each “service” that specifies the created route and operation time so that the operation time does not overlap. Furthermore, for each “service” to which each vehicle is assigned, each worker who is not an annual holiday or holiday in the employee / part-time job information file 4 is assigned so that the operation time does not overlap. Then, “allocation” in a state where vehicles and workers are assigned to each “service” is created and written in the operation management information file 5 as a allocation list.
[0032]
The printing unit 7 prints out the vehicle allocation created by the allocation processing unit 6 as a vehicle allocation list.
[0033]
Therefore, in the operation management information file 5, as shown in FIG. 4, for each “service” created for each service day, a service number, a service name, and a vehicle type assigned to the corresponding service. , The type, the vehicle ID, the employee code of the worker assigned to the corresponding service, and the working time (operation time) are stored.
[0034]
The manager of the delivery center arranges each vehicle and each worker for each “service” in accordance with the one-time allocation table printed by the printing unit.
[0035]
In the vehicle allocation creating apparatus shown in FIG. 1, in order to assign vehicles and workers to a request for a temporary flight that occurs unexpectedly, a candidate vehicle extraction unit 8, a candidate worker extraction unit 9, a candidate display unit 10, an optimum work location detection unit 11, a candidate worker selection unit 12, and the like are provided.
[0036]
In the vehicle allocation creation device having such a configuration, for example, a specific operation for assigning a vehicle and a worker to a temporary flight that suddenly occurs during a period in which the vehicle allocation for one month has been completed is shown in the flowchart of FIG. explain.
[0037]
First, when it becomes necessary to operate a temporary flight, the person in charge of the dispatching of the distribution center l uses the operation section 1 to configure the temporary flight, the departure date, the stopover location, the arrival location, the departure time, and the arrival time. The vehicle type, type, etc. are input and written into the temporary flight buffer 2b of the flight buffer 2.
[0038]
Then, the candidate vehicle extraction unit 8 is activated and takes in the above-described temporary flight request information written in the temporary flight buffer 2b (S1). Next, among the vehicles in the vehicle management information file 3, the vehicles that have the same vehicle type and type requested by the temporary flight and that can be operated are read (S2).
[0039]
Next, among the vehicles satisfying the vehicle type and type conditions read from the vehicle management information file 3, whether or not “service” has already been allocated to the operation time requested by the temporary flight is determined. Look up by searching for 5. Then, from among the vehicles satisfying the conditions according to the vehicle type and type, a vehicle to which “service” has not already been allocated in the operation time required by the temporary flight is extracted (S3).
[0040]
Then, each vehicle satisfying this vehicle type and operating time condition is stored and held as a candidate vehicle 13a (S4).
[0041]
Next, the candidate worker extraction unit 8 is activated and takes in the request information for the temporary flight described above written in the temporary flight buffer 2b (S5). Next, among the workers in the employee / part-time job information file 4, each worker who is on or who can attend work that is not a holiday or year-end on the operating day requested by the temporary flight is read (S 6).
[0042]
Next, the operation management information file 5 indicates whether or not “service” has already been assigned to the operation time requested by the extraordinary flight among the employees who are working or available from the employee / part-time job information file 4. Find out by searching for. Then, out of the workers who are at work or who can attend work, a worker who is not already assigned “service” at the operation time requested by the temporary flight is extracted (S7).
[0043]
Then, each worker who satisfies the condition of the operation time is stored and held as a candidate worker 13b (S8).
[0044]
When the above extraction process is completed, the candidate display unit 10 is activated, and as shown in FIG. 7, the stored candidate vehicle 13a and candidate worker 13b are displayed and output on the display unit 1a of the operation unit 1 (S9, S10).
[0045]
Next, the optimum work location detection unit 11 is activated and reads the optimum work location of each candidate worker 13b from the employee / part-time job information file 4. Similarly, the affiliation office of each candidate vehicle 13b is read from the vehicle management information file 3.
[0046]
The candidate worker selection unit 12 is activated, compares the optimum work place of each candidate worker 13b with the service route of the temporary flight, and sets each candidate worker 13b to his / her optimum work place as shown in FIG. Are arranged in the order close to the service route of the temporary flights. Furthermore, each candidate vehicle 13a arranged in the order in which the affiliated office is close to the service route of the temporary flight is assigned to each arranged candidate worker 13b (S11).
[0047]
Therefore, in FIG. 8, the combination of the candidate worker 13b with the employee code 88002 shown in (1) and the candidate vehicle 13a with the vehicle ID 000002 is the most efficient allocation for this temporary flight. On the contrary, the combination of the candidate worker 13b with the employee code 88007 shown in (5) and the candidate vehicle 13a with the vehicle ID 002810 is the most inefficient allocation for this temporary flight.
[0048]
As shown in FIG. 8, if there is a part-time worker candidate 13 b in each candidate worker 13 b in which his / her optimal work place is arranged in the order close to the temporary flight service route, the part-time job candidate worker 13 b is ranked higher. (S12). This is to provide a part-time worker with the opportunity to work as much as possible.
[0049]
When the adjustment process for the candidate worker 13b of this part-time job is completed, each candidate worker 13b shown in FIG. 8 to which the adjustment has been completed and the ordered candidate worker 13b is assigned to the temporary flight requested this time. And vehicle allocation candidates are determined (S13). The finally created list 14 of a plurality of combinations of candidate workers 13b and candidate vehicles 13a shown in FIG. 8 is displayed and output on the display 1a of the operation unit 1 (S14).
[0050]
Then, when the person in charge of the dispatch designates one combination from the plurality of combinations of the candidate worker 13b and the candidate vehicle 13a displayed on the display 1a with the keyboard 1b or the mouse (S15), the temporary request requested this time The designated worker and vehicle are assigned to the flight (S16). The final assignment result between the worker and the vehicle for this temporary flight is displayed on the display 1a and printed out by the printing unit 7.
[0051]
In the vehicle allocation creation device configured as described above, the person in charge of the vehicle allocation at the distribution center writes, for example, the requests for flights for the next month at the end of the month and writes them into the normal flight buffer 2a from the operation unit 1. The allocation processing unit 6 is activated and creates a dispatch for one month of the next month. Then, the dispatch list is written into the operation management information file 5.
[0052]
Then, if a request for a temporary flight suddenly occurs during the period in which the vehicle has been dispatched, the person in charge of the vehicle dispatch writes the route and operating time of the temporary flight from the operation unit 1 to the temporary flight buffer 2b. Then, each candidate vehicle 13a that matches the operation condition is automatically extracted from the vehicle management information file 3 and the operation management information file 5. Further, each candidate worker 13b that matches the operation condition is extracted from the employee / part-time job information file 4 and the operation management information file 5.
[0053]
Then, each candidate worker 13b is rearranged in the order in which his / her optimum work place is close to the service route of the temporary flight, and further, as shown in FIG. Are assigned to each candidate vehicle 13a arranged in the order close to the service route of the temporary flight.
[0054]
Therefore, the person in charge of the distribution center or the person in charge of dispatch only selects and designates one vehicle and one worker for the temporary flight generated this time from the displayed candidate vehicle 13a and candidate worker 13b. It's okay.
[0055]
Furthermore, since the worker who is most familiar with the route of the temporary flight is selected from the extracted candidate workers 13b, the transportation work can be carried out more efficiently.
[0056]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the vehicle allocation creation device of the present invention, even when a request for an extra flight is newly generated in the already allocated vehicle or worker assigned to each service, the candidate for the extra flight is generated. Vehicles and candidate workers are automatically extracted and displayed as vinegar.
[0057]
Therefore, it is possible to automatically assign the vehicle and the worker for this special flight only by a simple selection operation, and it is possible to greatly reduce the office processing burden of the person in charge of the distribution center and the person in charge of dispatch.
[0058]
Furthermore, the optimal worker for the temporary flight can be automatically assigned, and the transportation work can be efficiently executed for the operator side and the worker.
