However, in the prior art, there is a risk that the burden of managing the goods at the delivery destination will increase. For example, when a specific item is delivered to a delivery destination, there is a shortage of other items to be used in combination with the specific item at the delivery destination, and the specific item is stored without being used. It causes an increase in the burden on the management work of the goods in.

On one aspect, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the burden on the management work of goods at the delivery destination.

According to one embodiment, the first delivery request number of the first item is received, and the item is combined with the first item based on the corresponding information representing the item and another item used in combination with the item. The second item to be used is specified, and the number of second delivery requests for the specified second item is calculated based on the number of received first delivery requests, and the number is calculated as the first delivery request number. Among the sets of the first item and the second item that can be delivered based on the number of delivery requests, the first item is the number of sets that can combine the second item with the first item in just proportion. The delivery instruction between the first item and the second item is output, and the output process is based on the number of the first delivery request and the number of the second delivery request, and the first delivery can be delivered from the first delivery place. Among the sets of the goods and the second goods, the delivery instruction of the first goods and the second goods is given for the number of the first set in which the second goods can be combined with the first goods without excess or deficiency. When the number of deliveries of the first item corresponding to the number of the first set is less than the number of the first delivery request, the number of the first delivery request, the number of the second delivery request, and the number of the first set are set. Based on this, among the set of the first item and the second item that can be delivered from the second delivery place different from the first delivery place, the second item can be combined with the first item in just proportion. A delivery control program, a delivery control method, and a delivery control device that output delivery instructions between the first item and the second item for the number of the second set are proposed.

According to one aspect, it is possible to reduce the burden on the product management work at the delivery destination.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a delivery control program, a delivery control method, and a delivery control device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(An example of a delivery control method according to an embodiment)
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a delivery control method according to an embodiment. The delivery control device 100 is a computer that controls the delivery system.

The delivery system is a system that includes one or more collection points and a delivery destination, and delivers the goods requested by the person in charge of the delivery destination from one of the collection points to the delivery destination. The delivery destination is, for example, an evacuation center in the event of a disaster. The depot is a delivery area. A collection point is, for example, a warehouse that collects goods from a certain range and delivers them to a delivery destination in the event of a disaster. The depot may be, for example, a collection of multiple warehouses in an area.

However, in the delivery system, as a result of the specific item requested by the person in charge of the delivery destination being delivered from the collection point to the delivery destination, the burden of managing the item at the delivery destination may increase. be. The burden is, for example, a human or spatial burden.

Here, when the person in charge of the delivery destination requests a specific item from the delivery system, he / she does not always consider other items to be used in combination with the specific item. Goods are not always required by the delivery system. For example, in a delivery system, when a person in charge at a delivery destination requests a "flashlight", the "battery" used in combination with the "flashlight" may not be requested.

As a result, there is a shortage of "batteries" to be combined with the "flashlight" at the delivery destination, and the "flashlight" is stored unusable at the delivery destination, increasing the burden of managing goods at the delivery destination. May lead to conversion. For example, at the delivery destination, it is necessary to distinguish between a "flashlight" combined with a "battery" and a "flashlight" not combined with a "battery", increasing the burden of managing goods at the delivery destination. May lead to.

On the other hand, in the delivery system, when a specific item is delivered to a delivery destination, the specific item and other items used in combination with the specific item are delivered together as much as the amount that can be delivered from the collection point. It may be delivered first. However, even in this case, the burden of managing the goods at the delivery destination may increase.

For example, in a delivery system, when "3" "flashlights" are delivered to a delivery destination, there may be "2" "batteries" used in combination with the "flashlight" in a ratio of 1: 1. .. In this case, in consideration of transportation costs, "3 flashlights" are delivered and "2 batteries" are delivered so that "flashlights" that can be delivered from the collection point are delivered at once. There are times.

As a result, the "battery" to be combined with the "flashlight" becomes insufficient at the delivery destination, and the "flashlight" is stored at the delivery destination without being usable, which is a burden on the management work of the goods at the delivery destination. May lead to an increase in the number of lamps.

Therefore, it is desired to control the delivery system so as not to cause an increase in the burden of managing the goods at the delivery destination. For example, when the delivery destination is an evacuation center, there is a tendency that there is a shortage of personnel to manage the goods and a place to store the goods, so that the burden on the goods management work at the delivery destination is reduced. It is desirable to control the delivery system.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, if there are other items to be used in combination with the items requested by the person in charge at the delivery destination, the number of sets in which each item can be combined without excess or deficiency within the deliverable range. Only, the delivery control method for outputting the delivery instruction of each item will be described. As a result, the delivery control method can reduce the burden of managing the goods at the delivery destination.

In the example of FIG. 1, the delivery control device 100 stores the correspondence information. Correspondence information is information representing a certain item in association with another item used in combination with the certain item. Other items are, for example, items that are required to be used in combination with one item.

Correspondence information is represented by, for example, associating an item "flashlight" with another item "battery" used in combination with the item "flashlight". In addition, a certain item and another item used in combination with the certain item, which the corresponding information represents in association with each other, are combined in a ratio of 1: 1.

(1-1) The delivery control device 100 receives the first delivery request number of the first item 101. The first item 101 is, for example, a flashlight. The number of first delivery requests is a number indicating how many first items 101 are requested to be delivered to the delivery destination. In the example of FIG. 1, the delivery control device 100 receives the first delivery request number “3” of the first item 101 “flashlight”.

(1-2) The delivery control device 100 specifies the second item 102 to be used in combination with the first item 101 based on the corresponding information. The second product 102 is, for example, a battery. In the example of FIG. 1, the delivery control device 100 identifies a second item 102 "battery" to be used in combination with the first item 101 "flashlight".

(1-3) The delivery control device 100 calculates the number of second delivery requests for the specified second item 102 based on the number of received first delivery requests. The number of second delivery requests is a number indicating how many second items 102 are requested to be delivered to the delivery destination. In the example of FIG. 1, in the delivery control device 100, the first item 101 "flashlight" and the second item 102 "battery" are combined in a 1: 1 ratio, so that the first delivery of the first item 101 "flashlight" is performed. Based on the request number "3", the second delivery request number "3" of the second item 102 "battery" is calculated.

(1-4) The delivery control device 100 outputs delivery instructions for the first item 101 and the second item 102 based on the number of first delivery requests and the number of second delivery requests. The delivery control device 100 is, for example, the first set of the first item 101 and the second item 102 that can be delivered, which is the number of sets in which the second item 102 can be combined with the first item 101 without excess or deficiency. The delivery instruction of the item 101 and the second item 102 is output. The number of pairs is, for example, the maximum number of pairs. The number of pairs does not have to be the maximum number of pairs, for example.

In the example of FIG. 1, the number of deliverable first item 101 "flashlights" is "4". The number of the second item 102 "batteries" that can be delivered is "2". Therefore, in the delivery control device 100, the first item 101 "flashlight" is equivalent to the maximum number of "two sets" in which the second item 102 "battery" can be combined with the first item 101 "flashlight" without excess or deficiency. And the delivery instruction of the second item 102 "battery" are output to the collection point.

As a result, the delivery control device 100 can reduce the burden of managing the goods at the delivery destination. The delivery control device 100 can prevent, for example, a situation in which the first item 101 cannot be combined with the second item 102 at the delivery destination, and prevent the first item 101 from being stored without being used. ..

In the example of FIG. 1, in the delivery control device 100, even if the number of first delivery requests is "3" and the number of deliverable first item 101 "flashlights" is "4", the number of the third is three. It is possible to output delivery instructions for two first item 101 "flashlights" instead of one item 101 "flashlight".

As a result, the delivery control device 100 prevents the first item 101 "flashlight" from becoming unusable at the delivery destination without being combined with the second item 102 "battery", and the first item 101 "flashlight". It is possible to prevent the "lamp" from being stored unusable.

Similarly, the delivery control device 100 avoids that the first item 101 "cup noodles" cannot be consumed without being combined with the second item 102 "water" at the delivery destination, for example, and the first item 101 It is possible to prevent the "cup noodles" from being stored in an unconsumable state.

Further, the delivery control device 100 can make the first item 101 "flashlight" and the second item 102 "battery" arrive at the delivery destination at the same timing, so that the management burden of the item at the delivery destination is borne. It can be reduced. The person in charge of the delivery destination is the second item to be combined with the first item 101 "flashlight" as compared with the case where the second item 102 "battery" arrives at the delivery destination after the first item 101 "flashlight". 102 It becomes easier to find the "battery".

Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the number “2” of the first item 101 “flashlight” that outputs the delivery instruction is less than the number “3” of the first delivery request. For this reason, the delivery control device 100 adds delivery instructions for the first item 101 "flashlight" and the second item 102 "battery" after the second item 102 "battery" is newly prepared at the collection point. It may be output.

Further, in the delivery control device 100, since the number "2" of the first item 101 "flashlight" that outputs the delivery instruction is less than "3", the number of the first delivery request is less than "3", so that the first item 101 "flashlight" And the delivery instruction of the second item 102 "battery" may be output to another collection point.

Here, the case where the delivery control device 100 outputs delivery instructions for the first item 101 and the second item 102 for the maximum number of sets in which the second item 102 can be combined with the first item 101 without excess or deficiency. I explained, but it is not limited to this. For example, the delivery control device 100 outputs delivery instructions for the first item 101 and the second item 102 for the number of groups that is not the maximum number of groups that can combine the second item 102 with the first item 101 in just proportion. May be done.

Here, the case where a certain item and another item used in combination with the certain item are combined in a ratio of 1: 1 described by the corresponding information in association with each other has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a certain item represented by the corresponding information in association with another item and another item used in combination with the certain item may be combined in a ratio of 1: n or n: 1. n is a natural number. In this case, the correspondence information may further represent the number of other items used in combination with one item in association with each other.

Here, the case where another item used in combination with a certain item is an item required to be used in combination with a certain item has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, other items may be items that are recommended to be used in combination with one item. Further, for example, another item may be an item that can be used in combination with a certain item.
