It is a figure which shows the 3rd example of the change of the reward according to the replenishment number by one Embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the present embodiment. The replenisher A is a supplier who requests the worker B to replenish goods to the vending machine 10. The replenisher A delivers the goods to be replenished to the vending machine 10 to the worker B who performs the replenishment work. At this time, it is assumed that the worker B purchases a product from the replenisher A by paying the product price based on the purchase price to the replenisher A (step S20). The worker B goes to the installation location of the vending machine 10 and performs a replenishment operation for the product purchased from the replenisher A (step S21). The worker B collects the sales of the product from the vending machine 10 and uses the collected sales as his own income (step S22). That is, for the worker B, the difference between the payment amount when the product is purchased from the replenisher A and the sales collected from the vending machine 10 is his reward.

  In this way, the reward for worker B is paid for each replenishment operation. Thereby, the replenishment trader A can obtain the compensation for the merchandise when the replenishment merchandise is delivered to the worker B. That is, for example, after replenishment trader A delivers goods to worker B, the risk can be reduced when worker B loses goods for some reason or does not perform replenishment work. On the other hand, the worker B can surely obtain a reward for each replenishment operation.

  Here, when a plurality of vending machines 10 are divided into a plurality of routes and a replenishment operation is performed by allocating each route to a plurality of workers, the number of replenished items, the size and weight of each vending machine 10, If the installation environment and the like are different, it may be possible to feel unfairness among workers if the purchase value of goods for workers is uniform. For example, when the replenishment operation for 100 products is performed for a certain vending machine 10 and when the replenishment operation is performed for 100 vending machines 10 one by one, the latter case. This is considered to require more labor than the former case. Therefore, the purchase value is set to take a larger value as the number of replenishment items for one vending machine 10 is larger. In this way, even when the worker performs the replenishment work on a single occasion or when the replenishment work is not performed continuously for a predetermined period, a fair reward can be calculated and paid for each worker.

  The reward calculation system 1 of the present embodiment for calculating such a reward will be described in detail below. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the reward calculation system 1 according to the present embodiment. Remuneration calculation system 1 includes a plurality of vending machines 10-N (N is a positive integer. Vending machine 10-1, vending machine 10-2, vending machine 10-3,...) And remuneration calculation. The vending machine 10 and the reward calculation device 20 are connected via a network 5. Here, since the plurality of vending machines 10-N (the vending machine 10-1, the vending machine 10-2, the vending machine 10-3,...) Have the same configuration, they are not particularly distinguished. Will be described as a vending machine 10 with “-N” omitted. Although three vending machines 10 are shown in the figure, four or more vending machines 10 may be connected to the network 5.

The network 5 is a wireless or wired information communication network including a telephone network such as a mobile phone line, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a dedicated line, and the like.
The vending machine 10 stores products to be sold in its own warehouse, and discharges the products when a fee is charged. Further, the vending machine 10 has a function of detecting the number of sellable products remaining in its own warehouse and transmitting inventory information indicating the number of detected products to the reward calculating device 20 via the network 5. Prepare. For example, the vending machine 10 may transmit inventory information to the reward calculation device 20 at regular intervals, or may transmit inventory information in response to a transmission request from the reward calculation device 20. . When the vending machine 10 includes a plurality of types of products in its own warehouse, the vending machine 10 transmits, to the reward calculation device 20, inventory information that associates the number of products remaining in the warehouse for each type. To do. Thereby, the replenisher who manages the reward calculation apparatus 20 can grasp the number of products to be replenished to the vending machine 10. In other words, the replenisher can deliver the number of products to be replenished to the vending machine 10 to the operator without excess or deficiency.

The reward calculation device 20 is a computer device that includes a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a control unit 25.
The communication unit 21 communicates with the vending machine 10 via the network 5. For example, the communication unit 21 receives inventory information transmitted from the vending machine 10.

The storage unit 22 includes a replenishment number storage unit 23 and an index value storage unit 24, and stores information and other information that is referred to in order for the reward calculation device 20 to operate.
In the replenishment number storage unit 23, for each vending machine 10, vending machine information including the replenishment number of products to be replenished to the vending machine 10 is stored. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of vending machine information stored in the replenishment number storage unit 23. In the vending machine information, for each vending machine ID (Identifier), a route ID, a product ID, a replenishment number, a first coefficient, and a second coefficient are associated.

  The vending machine ID is information for identifying the vending machine 10 from the plurality of vending machines 10. The route ID is information for identifying a route for replenishing goods to the vending machine. The replenishment work of the goods with respect to the vending machine is performed by assigning a route (route) determined by the plurality of vending machines 10 to the workers. Each worker packs the replenishment goods in a transport vehicle or the like, and performs the replenishment work by moving to the place where the vending machine 10 is installed while moving the allocated route. That is, one route is associated with a plurality of vending machines 10 on which an operator performs replenishment work. The combination of the vending machines 10 constituting such a route is, for example, the geographical arrangement of the vending machines 10, the traffic conditions between the vending machines 10, the visit time limit of each installation position, and the time for one day to sell well. Characteristics such as the need to revisit the site, characteristics such as sudden increases in demand due to events such as concerts, and inventory information transmitted from the vending machine 10, etc. It can be determined taking into account constraints such as values.

  The product ID is information for identifying a product to be replenished to the vending machine 10. The product is a soft drink or beverage such as a can or a plastic bottle. One vending machine 10 can store a plurality of types of products. That is, the replenishment number storage unit 23 stores vending machine information in which a plurality of product IDs are associated with the vending machine ID of one vending machine 10. The replenishment number is the number of products to be replenished to the vending machine 10. The first coefficient and the second coefficient are coefficients given to each vending machine 10 and are values used when calculating a reward. The first coefficient and the second coefficient will be described later.

  The index value storage unit 24 stores an index value indicating the labor of replenishment work according to the number of replenishment items to be replenished to the vending machine 10. The index value is, for example, a purchase value per predetermined unit of the product for the worker. The larger the purchase value, the smaller the replenishment work, and the smaller the purchase value, the greater the replenishment work. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of index values (purchase values) stored in the index value storage unit 24. This figure is a graph in which purchase values per product are associated with one predetermined unit according to the number of products replenished for one vending machine 10. The unit of the replenishment number is “pieces”, and the unit of the purchase value is “yen”. For example, when the replenishment number of a specific product for one vending machine 10 is 1, the purchase price per product is 80 yen. When the replenishment number of the product is 10, the purchase value per product is 90 yen. Thus, the purchase value per product for one vending machine 10 takes a larger value as the number of replenishments for that vending machine increases. This is because the greater the number of replenishments for a single vending machine, the less effort per product.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the difference between the sales amount of the product and the purchase value in the reward calculation device 20 becomes the worker's reward. For example, if the sales amount of one product is 100 yen, When the input price is 80 yen, the reward per replenishment work for one product is 20 yen. When the purchase value is 90 yen, the reward per replenishment operation for one product is 10 yen. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of remuneration for replenishment work corresponding to the purchase value shown in FIG. The reward per replenishment operation for one product for one vending machine 10 takes a smaller value as the number of replenishments for that vending machine increases. In this way, for example, when a product is replenished one by one for 100 vending machines 10, the reward per product is 100 products for one vending machine 10. It becomes larger than the reward per product when the replenishment work is performed. Thereby, even when there are variations in the number of replenishments for the vending machines 10 to be replenished, a fair reward can be given.

  Here, the index value storage unit 24 stores in advance index value information indicating a graph as described above for each product ID for identifying a product. The index value information is, for example, a function expression indicating a graph curve as shown in the figure. This index value information is predetermined for each product and is stored in the index value storage unit 24. Here, let f (x) be a function equation for calculating the purchase value per product when the number of replenishment is x.

f (x) is a function having characteristics corresponding to the characteristics of the product for each product. For example, as described above, when the number x to be replenished to one vending machine 10 is large, the vending machine 10 can be replenished in large quantities at once (relatively easy work), so the purchase price is increased. That is, if x_1> x_2, f (x_1)> f (x_2) can be obtained.
For example, when the product is a beverage, the can is considered to be easier to transport than the number of plastic bottles, so the purchase value is increased. That is, if the purchase value of the plastic bottle is f_pet (x) and the purchase value of the can is f_can (x), f_can (x)> f_pet (x) can be obtained.
In addition, since it is considered that a small can is easier to transport than a large can, if the purchase value of a small can is f_small (x) and the purchase value of a large can is f_large (x), It is possible to satisfy f_small (x)> f_large (x).

  Based on such characteristics, a function formula determined for each product is stored in the index value storage unit 24 in advance. For example, when the product type is a and the number of products a supplemented to one vending machine 10 is x, the function formula f_a (x) for calculating the purchase value per product is an index value storage unit. 24. Similarly, a function formula f_b (x) for calculating a purchase value for the product b,..., A function formula f_n (x) for calculating a purchase value for the product n are stored in the index value storage unit 24.

The control unit 25 controls each unit included in the reward calculation device 20 and includes a calculation unit 26.
Based on the index value stored in the index value storage unit 24 and the replenishment number stored in the replenishment number storage unit 23, the calculation unit 26 calculates a reward for the worker who performs the replenishment work. Here, the calculation unit 26 calculates a difference between the purchase value per product and the sales amount per product sold by the vending machine 10 as a reward for the worker. Here, a total value of purchase values corresponding to the number of replenishments for a plurality of products for one vending machine 10 is represented by g. For example, the vending machine 10-1 is VM1, the product group to be replenished to VM1 is a, b,... N, the replenishment number of the product a to be replenished to VM1 is x_VM1_a, and the product b to be replenished to VM1 is replenished Let x_VM1_b be the number, and x_VM1_n be the replenishment number of the commodity n to be replenished to VM1, then the total value g_VM1 of the purchase value for the replenishment operation to VM1 is given by the following equation (1).

  g_VM1 = {x_VM1_a · f_a (x_VM1_a) + x_VM1_b · f_b (x_VM1_b) +... + x_VM1_n · f_n (x_VM1_n)} × A_VM1 + B_VM1 (1)

  Here, A_VM1 is the first coefficient described above, and B_VM1 is the second coefficient described above. A_VM1 is a coefficient indicating an uncertain factor that fluctuates daily with respect to the replenishment work of VM1. For example, when rain or bad weather is predicted by the weather prediction near the VM 1 to be replenished, or when there is some event near the VM 1 to be replenished and traffic congestion is predicted, replenishment work for the VM 1 is difficult. It is considered to be. At this time, a value smaller than 1 can be set to A_VM1 so as to lower the purchase value. On the other hand, if it is considered that the replenishment work for the VM1 is facilitated for some reason, a value larger than 1 can be set to A_VM1 so as to increase the purchase value.

  B_VM1 is a coefficient indicating a deterministic factor for the replenishment work of VM1. For example, if the VM 1 is far from the parking lot and replenishment is difficult, a negative value can be set. Or if VM1 is in a building where security is severe and time-consuming and time-consuming entry procedures are required, or if it is in a building where entry time is restricted, replenishment work is difficult. Negative numbers can be set. Alternatively, when VM1 is present in a building having a plurality of floors and is present on a higher floor, a negative numerical value can be set as replenishment work is difficult. Alternatively, if there is no parking lot near VM1 and it is necessary to carry goods with a carriage after stopping the transporter in a parking lot at a distance, a negative value may be set because the replenishment work is difficult. it can. Alternatively, if there is a risk that the goods will be stolen if you keep an eye on the transport vehicle due to the security level around VM1, a negative value can be set as replenishment work is difficult. In other words, the value of B_VM1 can be set depending on whether the VM1 is installed indoors, the shape of the vending machine 10 (whether the replenishing port is at a high place or a low place), and the like.

  Thus, A_VM1 (first coefficient) and B_VM1 (second coefficient) are values determined for each vending machine 10. For example, the first coefficient is determined every day by a replenisher, is input to the reward calculation device 20, and is stored in the replenishment number storage unit 23. The first coefficient can be set automatically, for example, when the vending machine 10 acquires weather forecast information via a network. For example, the second coefficient is determined in advance by a replenishment supplier, is input to the reward calculation device 20, and is stored in the replenishment number storage unit 23. By such an expression (1), it is possible to calculate the total value of purchase values of a plurality of products to be replenished to a specific vending machine 10.

  Furthermore, j is a payment amount to be paid to the replenisher when the worker receives goods from the replenisher during the replenishment work, and h is a route coefficient indicating the labor according to the characteristics for each route. If the corresponding worker coefficient is i, the payment amount j is given by the following equation (2).

  j = {(total of g of vending machines in the route) + h} × i (2)

Here, the route coefficient h is a total value of various elements expressing the ease or difficulty of the replenishment work for each route by a plus or minus value. The easier the replenishment work, the larger the coefficient h, and the harder the replenishment work, the smaller the root coefficient h. The various elements are, for example, the following elements.
-If the distance between the vending machines 10 in the route is far, it is difficult to go around, so a negative value is taken. The longer the distance, the greater the absolute value. If the distance between the vending machines 10 in the route is short, the patrol is easy, so a positive value is taken. The shorter the distance, the smaller its absolute value.
-Even if it is the same distance, a positive number is taken as it is easier if the traffic conditions are good due to the highway that is easy to move and the possibility of traffic jams. Negative values are taken as being more difficult if traffic conditions are poor due to the difficulty of moving on narrow roads and traffic jams, low speed limits, etc.
Even if the distance between the vending machines 10 is almost zero, a negative value is taken as being more difficult if it is a different floor in a building having multiple floors. If it is the same floor, a positive number is taken as it is easier. Even if it is the same floor in a building with multiple floors, it is easy on the ground, but it is difficult on the upper floors. It is more painful at higher levels.
・ Due to restrictions on the visit time, it is more difficult if the route is prone to waiting time.

The worker coefficient i is a value obtained by quantifying the following elements.
・ If the past work quality is good, lower the purchase price (incentive)
-If the past work quality is good, raise the purchase price (penalty)
The work quality can be determined in consideration of, for example, the number of times the change has occurred in the vending machine 10 in the assigned route, the cleaning status of the vending machine 10, and the like.

  For example, the storage unit 22 stores route coefficients h_R1, h_R2,... H_Rn for each route, and worker coefficients i_α, i_β,. The payment amount j_R1_α when the worker α assigned to the route R1 to be visited by the worker α receives the merchandise from the replenisher at the time of the replenishment work is expressed by the following equation (2) ′.

  j_R1_α = {(total of g of vending machines in route R1) + (route coefficient h_R1 indicating the labor of route R1)} × specific worker coefficient i_α of worker α (2) ′

  The difference between the payment amount j calculated by the calculation unit 26 in this way and the sales that can be collected by visiting the vending machines on the route is a reward for the worker. However, this difference will never be negative. That is, the value of the payment amount j does not exceed the sales that can be collected by visiting the vending machines on the route. For example, the storage unit 22 stores information such as the sales amount for each of a plurality of types of products, and the calculation unit 26 calculates a reward for the worker based on such information and the payment amount j. Can do. The calculation process of the payment amount and the reward by the calculation unit 26 is performed every day, for example, the night before the replenishment work is performed, and the replenishment work based on the calculated payment amount can be performed in the replenishment work on the next day.

Next, an operation example of the reward calculation system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the reward calculation device 20 according to the present embodiment.
The communication unit 21 of the reward calculation device 20 receives inventory information transmitted from the plurality of vending machines 10. The control unit 25 of the reward calculating device 20 calculates the number of replenishments for each vending machine 10 and each product based on the inventory information received from the plurality of vending machines 10, and the number of replenishments associated with the vending machine information. It memorize | stores in the memory | storage part 23 (step S1). For example, the reward calculation device 20 stores, for each vending machine 10 and each product, the maximum value of the inventory amount of the product that can be stored in the vending machine 10, and the inventory information transmitted from the vending machine 10 The difference between the indicated remaining inventory amount and the maximum value of the inventory amount is calculated as the replenishment number, and is stored in the replenishment number storage unit 23.

  The calculation unit 26 performs a payment calculation process for calculating a payment for each route (steps S2 to S11). In this, the calculation part 26 performs the purchase value calculation process which calculates the purchase value for every vending machine 10 contained in a route (step S3-step S9). In this, the calculation part 26 performs the purchase value calculation process which calculates the purchase value for every goods contained in a vending machine (step S4-step S7). The calculation unit 26 reads the number of products to be replenished for the vending machine from the replenishment number storage unit 23 (step S5). The calculation unit 26 reads out a function formula for calculating the index value of the product that is the purchase value calculation target from the index value storage unit 24, and calculates a purchase value corresponding to the number of replenishments using the read function formula. (Step S6).

  The calculation unit 26 repeats the process of calculating the purchase value for each product for all the products included in the purchase value calculation target vending machine 10 (step S7). The total value of purchase values of all the commodities possessed is calculated. When the calculation unit 26 calculates the total value of the purchase values of all the products included in the vending machine 10 that is the purchase value calculation target, the first coefficient and the second coefficient associated with the vending machine 10 are calculated. Are read from the replenishment number storage unit 23, and the purchase value for each vending machine 10 is calculated by the equation (1) (step S8).

  The calculation unit 26 repeats the process of calculating the purchase value for each vending machine 10 for all the vending machines 10 included in the purchase value calculation target route (step S9), and the purchase value calculation target route is calculated. The total value of purchase values for all vending machines included in is calculated. When calculating the total value of the purchase values for all the vending machines included in the route for which the purchase value is to be calculated, the calculation unit 26 calculates the total value of the purchase value and the route calculated for each route according to Equation (2). A payment amount is calculated based on the coefficient and the worker coefficient (step S10). The calculation unit 26 repeats the process of calculating the payment amount for all routes (step S11), and ends the process when the process of calculating the payment amount for all routes is performed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the worker's remuneration for the replenishment work to the vending machine 10 is calculated according to the number of replenishments for each vending machine. In addition to being able to reduce unfairness in the meantime, it is possible to calculate objective rewards according to the effort of replenishment work, so it is possible to avoid troubles related to the calculation standard of rewards and prevent overpayment of rewards Can do.

  In addition, since the amount of payment for each replenishment operation is calculated, the replenisher can sell the product to the worker for each replenishment operation, and the product after the product is delivered to the worker. Risk of loss etc. can be reduced. As a result, the replenisher can request the replenishment work from the worker with more peace of mind. Moreover, the effect which prevents an operator from losing goods can also be anticipated by this. Further, for example, if the worker and the vending machine 10 that the worker performs the replenishment work are fixed, and the worker loses the commodity, the worker's next reward is lowered and adjusted. Therefore, the risk of loss etc. can be reduced.

  Further, since the sales collected from the vending machine 10 by the worker is the worker's income, the work for the replenishment worker to receive the sales collected from the vending machine 10 by the worker becomes unnecessary, and the replenisher can work. It is not necessary to pay the person directly. Moreover, since the sales by the vending machine 10 are directly linked to the income of the worker, the worker can be motivated to increase the sales by the vending machine 10.

Further, since the reward can be determined for each work, for example, when the vending machine 10 is newly installed or removed on the route, the reward can be calculated flexibly.
In addition to the number of replenishments to the vending machine 10, effort that does not depend on the number of replenishments, such as refilling of goods from a transport vehicle to a bogie or movement between vending machines 10, is taken into account. The reward can be calculated and the satisfaction of the worker can be increased.

  In the above-described example, index value information whose purchase value changes as shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the index value storage unit 24, and the reward according to the number of supplements changes as shown in FIG. Although the example to do is shown, it does not necessarily need to be such a curve and an index value can be defined so that it may change suitably according to the characteristic etc. of goods. FIG. 7 to FIG. 9 are diagrams illustrating examples of reward changes according to the number of supplements. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a first example of a change in reward according to the number of supplements. In this example, the reward according to the number of supplements takes a value that simply decreases linearly. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a second example of a change in reward according to the number of supplements. In this example, the reward according to the number of supplements decreases linearly to a certain value and then changes to a gentle straight line. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a third example of a change in reward according to the number of supplements. In this example, the reward according to the number of supplements decreases linearly to a constant value, and then remains constant without changing.

In the above example, the index value stored in the index value storage unit 24 is a purchase value per product. However, the purchase value is determined by using a plurality of products as a unit. It may be.
In the above example, the index value storage unit 24 shows an example in which a function expression for calculating a purchase value corresponding to the number of replenishments is stored. You may make it memorize | store the table which matched these.

Moreover, in this embodiment, based on the payment amount calculated by the reward calculation device 20, an example in which an operator purchases a product for each operation as described above is shown. However, for example, a salary is paid every month. Even in such a case, it is possible to calculate the salary based on the amount of remuneration calculated based on the number of supplements and other factors as described above.
In the present embodiment, the product to be replenished with respect to the vending machine 10 may be a beverage such as a soft drink, a cigarette, or another product.

  In this embodiment, an example of a vending machine that replenishes tangible goods has been described. However, a similar configuration is applied to a VMI (Vender Managed Inventory) model in which a supplier replenishes inventory according to the remaining amount. You can also For example, when applied to VMI of acetylene gas in a plant, the vending machine 10 in the present embodiment is used as a tank for each gas in a certain plant, and the stock of each product in the warehouse of the vending machine 10 in the present embodiment is By calculating the purchase value of the gas to be passed to the operator as the stock of each gas tank of a certain plant, each product such as beverage a and beverage b in this embodiment as each gas such as acetylene gas and oxygen, The remuneration of the worker who performs the replenishment can be calculated. In this case, the vending machine 10 in this embodiment notifies the supplier of the inventory quantity automatically calibrated by the tank, in the same manner as the vending machine 10 notifies the reward calculation device 20 of inventory information.
