Description

The present invention relates to a work allocation technique.

In recent years, with the global increase in longevity, elderly people are required to actively participate in labor. In addition, it is desired for the elderly to maintain and improve their health, and there is a need for a technique for allocating labor work that matches the maintenance and promotion of the health of the elderly. For example, Cited Document 1 discloses that the work is assigned according to the level of the worker. Specifically, it is disclosed that a worker's possible work level is viewed and work at a work level lower than that is assigned. As a result, work can be assigned so as not to allocate unreasonable work that exceeds the work level of the worker.

JP-A-2015-18522

In Cited Document 1, nothing is considered about allocating work from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health, and there is a possibility that other work other than the work that is preferable from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health is assigned to the worker. There is. An object of the present invention is to allocate work to workers in consideration of maintaining and improving health.

In order to solve the above problems, for each basic worker information, which is information that identifies the worker, the mental and physical functions required when the worker performs one or more tasks, and the mental and physical functions of the worker. The ability information storage unit that stores ability information associated with the worker level that represents the ability, and the basic classification information for classifying workers are the criteria for classification by mental and physical functions and basic classification information. The reference information storage unit that stores the reference information associated with the reference level indicating the ability of the worker's mental and physical functions and the reference information having the classification basic information corresponding to each of the worker basic information are specified and specified. The standard level of the standard information and the worker level are compared for each mental and physical function, and the mental and physical function whose worker level is lower than the standard level is regarded as the recommended function, and the worker level corresponding to the recommended function is associated with the recommended level. The recommended information extraction unit, which is the mental and physical function required when the worker performs the work, and the request level, which is the worker level corresponding to the request function, are associated with each other and extracted for each work. It is characterized by including a request information extraction unit and a work calculation unit that specifies work including a request function corresponding to a recommended function.

Embodiment 1.
The work assignment device 100 according to the present invention makes it possible to assign preferable work to maintain and improve the health of workers.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a configuration of a work assignment device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the work assignment device 100 of the present embodiment includes a capacity information extraction unit 11, a capacity information storage unit 12, a reference information storage unit 13, a recommended information extraction unit 14, and a recommended information storage unit. A unit 15, a request information extraction unit 16, a request information storage unit 17, and a work calculation unit 18 are provided.

The ability information extraction unit 11 extracts the ability information for each worker. The ability information storage unit 12 stores the ability information for each worker extracted by the ability information extraction unit 11. Details will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is an example of the ability information for each worker stored in the ability information storage unit 12. The ability information for each worker is information in which the basic worker information and the ability information are associated with each worker. The worker basic information is information that identifies the worker, and the ability information is information that associates the mental and physical functions required when the worker performs one or more tasks with the worker level. Details of this information will be described below.

In the example of FIG. 2, as the basic worker information, the worker's name, gender, and age information are stored. More specifically, the basic worker information stores information in which the name is Mitsubishi Taro, the gender is male, and the age is 70 years old.

The worker basic information may store a worker ID that can uniquely identify the worker to whom the work is assigned by the work assignment device 100 according to the first embodiment, and the age and gender of the worker. It is not limited as long as it is information that can identify. The worker ID may be a symbol that identifies the worker, for example, "H".

The ability information is stored in association with the mental and physical functions that represent the physical and mental functions required for the work and the worker level that represents the ability of the mental and physical functions. Here, the mental and physical functions include International Classification of Functioning, disability and Health (ICF), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Quality of Life (ADL), Quality of Life (ADL), Quality of Life (QOL), etc. Items stored in the index may be used.

In the example of FIG. 2, as mental and physical functions, physical and mental functions required for work such as lifting, walking, grip strength, visual acuity, and identification are memorized. As the worker level, the level of mental and physical functions suitable from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving the health of the worker obtained by interviews and measurements by biosensors is stored. In the present embodiment, the mental and physical function levels of "lifting" and "visual acuity" are stored in each measurement unit such as "400 g" and "0.8".

The worker level is information indicating the ability level of the mental and physical functions of the worker. For example, when the mental and physical functions are "lifting", the lifting action is performed for the worker within a range that is not inappropriate from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health. Represents a repeatable level. When the mental and physical functions are not information that represents direct movements such as "visual acuity", they may be values that represent the ability itself such as visual acuity "1.0".

In the example of FIG. 2, when the mental and physical functions are "lifted", the worker level is stored as "400 g". This means that for Mitsubishi Taro, a worker, it is possible to lift a 400g item as a repetitive task, and the weight is not inappropriate from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health.

Here, the level of ability suitable from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health means a value arbitrarily set according to the worker. For example, if the mental and physical function is "grip strength", the limit value of "grip strength" is measured and the limit is measured. The value may be multiplied by a coefficient of 0.8, or if the mental and physical function is "lifting", the muscle strength required for the lifting motion can be measured, and from there, it can be lifted as a repetitive task to maintain good health. , The weight that is not inappropriate from the viewpoint of promotion may be calculated.

The value is arbitrarily selected, and any method can be used as long as it is a repeatable level for the worker as long as it is not inappropriate from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health. Further, the worker level may be memorized by an arbitrary numerical value as long as it can be specified by a predetermined rule such as "lifting" is 2 and "visual acuity" is 7, and the memorized method is not limited.

FIG. 3 is an example of generalizing the ability information for each worker stored in the ability information storage unit 12. As basic worker information, the worker's name H, gender M, age A, and as ability information, mental and physical functions are "Item ₁ ", "Item ₂ ", ..., "Item _N " (N is 1 to n), work. Person levels are represented as "AcL ₁ ", "AcL ₂ ", ..., "AcL _N " (N is 1 to n).

Next, the reference information storage unit 13 will be described. The reference information storage unit 13 stores the reference information for each classification. Here, the classification standard information is associated with the standard information for each basic classification information such as age and gender. The details of the classification reference information will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

FIG. 4 is an example of the classification reference information stored in the reference information storage unit 13. Classification criteria information represents the average level of physical and mental function of multiple healthy people by age and gender, and depending on whether or not the ability level is exceeded, the individual can determine the average healthy life expectancy. It is a statistical index that can be evaluated. The standard information for each classification is stored in association with the standard information for each basic classification information for classifying the workers. Next, the details of the basic classification information and the standard information will be described.

In the example of FIG. 4, gender and age information is stored as basic classification information. For example, the information that the gender is male and the age is 70 years old is stored. Here, the basic classification information refers to information for classifying workers, and is not limited to information such as age, gender, exercise experience, and no information. In this embodiment, age and gender will be described as basic classification information.

The reference information is information in which the mental and physical functions and the reference level indicating the ability of the standard worker in the mental and physical functions classified by the basic classification information are associated and stored. The same items as the mental and physical functions of the ability information for each worker are stored in the mental and physical functions of the reference information. Therefore, the number of items of the mental and physical functions of the standard information is equal to the number of items of the mental and physical functions of the ability information for each worker.

In the reference level of the reference information, the average value of the worker level for each classification such as age and gender of a plurality of people whose healthy life expectancy exceeds the average healthy life expectancy is stored. Here, the average value is used, but the value is not limited to this, and any value representing the standard ability desired by the worker from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health in the category is not limited, and the calculation method is not limited. ..

In addition, the worker level of multiple people whose healthy life expectancy exceeds the average healthy life expectancy, based on the calculation of the standard level of the standard information, can be lifted as repetitive work to maintain health. It is a value that is not inappropriate from the viewpoint of promotion or a value that represents the ability itself.

FIG. 5 is a generalized example of the classification reference information stored in the reference information storage unit 13. Gender M and age A are stored as basic classification information. As reference information, mental and physical functions are "Item ₁ ", "Item ₂ ", ..., "Item _N " (N is 1 to n), and reference levels are "AvL ₁ ", "AvL ₂ ", ..., "AvL _N " ( N is expressed as 1 to n).

The recommended information extraction unit 14 specifies the classification reference information held by the corresponding reference information storage unit 13 for each worker from the worker-specific ability information extracted by the ability information extraction unit 11 from the ability information storage unit 12. .. More specifically, the recommended information extraction unit 14 specifies the reference information having the classification basic information corresponding to the worker basic information.

Then, the recommended information extraction unit 14 compares the worker level of the ability information corresponding to the basic worker information with the reference level for each mental and physical function, and recommends the mental and physical function when the worker level is lower. As a function, the worker level corresponding to the recommended function is associated and specified as the recommended level.

The recommended information extraction unit 14 stores the combination of the specified recommended function and recommended level as recommended information. Then, the recommended information extraction unit 14 stores the recommended information and the basic worker information for identifying the worker in association with each other as recommended information for each worker.

Here, when the worker level is lower than the standard level, it means that the worker level is lower than the standard desired by the worker from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health. Here, as mentioned above, the standard may be the average value of other workers who belong to the same classification as healthy workers of the same age and gender, or scientifically derived health maintenance. The value may be the value desired for promotion, and the method of determining the value is not limited.

By assigning workers who have mental and physical functions that do not reach the desired standard values from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving their health, the mental and physical functions (physical and mental functions) can be trained to maintain and improve their health. It will be possible.

Here, as a method of specifying the recommended information, for example, the worker level of the ability information corresponding to the basic worker information for each mental and physical function is compared with the standard level of the specified standard information for each mental and physical function of the worker. When the level is smaller, the mental and physical functions in which the difference between the worker level and the reference level is equal to or less than the threshold value may be used as the recommended function.

As a result, mental and physical functions that are too inferior to those of a standard person may be unfavorable from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving health, and it is possible to prevent such mental and physical functions from becoming recommended functions.

The recommended information storage unit 15 stores the recommended information for each worker extracted by the recommended information extraction unit 14. The details of the recommended information for each worker will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

FIG. 6 is an example of recommended information for each worker stored in the recommended information storage unit 15. The recommended information for each worker is stored by combining the recommended information with the ability information for each worker. The recommended information shows the physical and mental functions recommended by the worker for maintaining and improving their health and their levels, and works by working on the strengthening and recovery of the recommended physical and mental functions. It can be expected to maintain and improve the health of people.

In the present embodiment, the recommended information is stored as a combination of a recommended function which is a mental and physical function recommended for the worker and a recommended level indicating the worker level. The recommended function of the recommended information is one of the mental and physical functions of the ability information that is recommended for maintaining and improving the health of the worker, and is specified by the recommended information extraction unit 14. The recommended level represents the level of mental and physical function recommended for maintaining and improving health, and represents the corresponding worker level.

FIG. 7 is a generalized example of the recommended information for each worker stored in the recommended information storage unit 15. The recommended function of the recommended information is stored as "lifting" in the example of FIG. 6, but is generally expressed as "RcItem _N " (N is 1 to n) as shown in FIG. 7. The recommended level represents the level of the above recommended function item. In the example of FIG. 6, it is stored as “400 g”, but as shown in FIG. 7, it is generally expressed as “RcL _N ” (N is 1 to n).

The request information extraction unit 16 extracts work-specific request information corresponding to the work. More specifically, the request information extraction unit 16 associates a request function, which is a mental and physical function required when a worker performs a selected work, with a request level, which is a worker level corresponding to the request function. The required request information is extracted for each work.

The work-specific request information is stored in association with the basic work information that specifies the work and the request information. The request information refers to a relationship between a request function, which is a mental and physical function required for work, and a request level, which is a worker level required for the request function. The request information storage unit 17 stores the work request information extracted by the request information extraction unit 16.

FIG. 8 is an example of work-specific request information stored in the request information storage unit 17. The work request information represents the level of physical and mental functions required for each work. It is possible to determine whether or not the worker exceeds the required level of the work request information, and evaluate whether or not the worker can perform the work.

In the basic work information, information that can uniquely identify the work to which the work is assigned by the work assignment device 100 according to the present embodiment is stored. In the example of FIG. 8, the information "stacking work" is stored. The stored information is not limited to this, and may be an ID, and is not limited as long as the work can be specified.

The request information represents the level of each physical and mental function of the work, and the request function which is the mental and physical function required for the work and the request level which is the worker level are stored in association with each other. As the required level, the level of each required function obtained by measurement using a biosensor or the like for the worker engaged in the work is stored.

In the present embodiment, the required function stores "lifting" and "visual acuity" as well as the ability information, and the required level is stored in each measurement unit such as "400 g" or "0.8". There is. The required level may be stored numerically as long as it can be specified by a predetermined rule such as "lifting" is 2 and "visual acuity" is 7.

FIG. 9 is a generalized example of work-specific request information stored in the request information storage unit 17. For each generalized request function "Item ₁ ", "Item ₂ ", ..., "Item _N " (N is 1 to n), the request level is "RqL ₁ ", "RqL ₂ ", ..., " It _{is expressed as "RqL N} " (N is 1 to n).

The work calculation unit 18 inputs the work-specific request information extracted by the request information extraction unit 16 and the worker-specific recommended information, and outputs the work allocation information of the worker. More specifically, the work calculation unit 18 compares the request function of the request information of the work-specific request information with the corresponding recommended function of the worker-specific recommended information, and outputs the comparison result as the work allocation information. This makes it possible to identify the work including the required function corresponding to the recommended function. The details of the work allocation information will be described below.

FIG. 10 is an example of work allocation information for each worker calculated by the work calculation unit 18. The work allocation information for each worker is stored by combining the recommended information for each worker with the work allocation information. As the work assignment information, information indicating the work assigned to the worker and its feasibility is stored.

Specifically, the work assignment information stores information that identifies the work assigned to the worker and the execution level thereof. Here, the performance level is information indicating whether or not the required function can be performed by the worker. Information indicating the ability to perform is stored in the performance level.

In the example of FIG. 10, as work assignment information, information in which the work ID is "stacked work" and the execution level is "executable" is stored. The performance level may be information such as "can be performed by the support level S of the required function" Item _{N "(N is 1 to n)".}

Here, the support level S is _{the difference between the required level "RqL k} " and the recommended level "RcL _k ", and is information indicating how much the recommended level is insufficient for the required level. Details will be described later. Further, the performable level may be stored as a numerical value or the like as long as it can be specified by a predetermined rule, and may be information that can determine whether or not it can be performed.

FIG. 11 is an example of generalizing the work allocation information for each worker calculated by the work calculation unit 18 according to the embodiment. Generalize and store _{"W 1} " in the work ID. "Performable" information is stored as the performance level. This is information indicating that work W can be recommended. This allows the user or the external system to determine whether each task is feasible for the operator.

If execution level "request function" Item _N "(N is 1 to n) performable with the aid level S of" the information of the requested function of the work W "Item _N" (N is 1 to n) support Details will be described in the second embodiment in the sense that it can be performed by supporting at level S. From here, the flow of processing executed by each component of the work assignment device 100 will be described with reference to a flowchart.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a flow of storing ability information for each worker. In step S101, the ability information extraction unit 11 extracts the ability information for each worker. In step S102, the ability information extraction unit 11 stores the extracted ability information for each worker in the ability information storage unit 12. Here, the worker is identified by the worker basic information. The explanation of the worker basic information and ability information of the ability information for each worker is as described above.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a flow in which the recommended information extraction unit 14 stores recommended information for each worker. When the worker-specific ability information is extracted, the recommended information extraction unit 14 compares the worker-specific ability information with the classification-specific standard information to specify the worker-specific recommended information. Details will be described below.

In step S201, the recommended information extraction unit 14 acquires the ability information for each worker. In step S202, the recommended information extraction unit 14 identifies the reference information having the classification basic information corresponding to the worker basic information of the ability information for each worker. Specifically, when the basic worker information is information in which the name is Mitsubishi Taro, the gender is male, and the age is 70 years old, the standard information in which the gender of the basic classification information is male and the age is 70 years old is specified. When there is a plurality of ability information for each worker, it may be specified for each worker in order, or it may be controlled so as to be specified for a specific worker by the user's specification.

_{In step S203, the recommended information extraction unit 14 sequentially performs the mental and physical function "Item N} " (N is 1 to n) of the ability information and the mental and physical function "Item _N " (N is 1 to n) of the corresponding reference information. comparison will, operator level _"acL N" (N is 1 to n) as a reference level _"AvL N" (N is 1 to n) are _compared, and to identify the Item _k satisfying acL _k <AvL k.

Specifically, the recommended information extraction unit 14 compares the mental and physical function "lifting" and the worker level "300 g" of the ability information with the reference information "lifting" and the reference level "400 g" specified in step S202. Since the worker level of the mental and physical function "lifting" of the ability information is lower, the recommended information extraction unit 14 specifies the mental and physical function "lifting". The recommended information extraction unit 14 sequentially compares the worker levels of the mental and physical functions such as "walking" and "grip strength", and identifies the mental and physical functions in which the worker level of the ability information becomes smaller.

In step S204, the recommended information extraction unit 14 specifies the recommended information function by setting the specified _{"Item k} " and the "AcL _k " at that time as the recommended function RcItem _k = Item _k and the recommended level RcL _k = AcL _k. .. If there is no "Item _k " that satisfies AcL _k <AvL _k , the recommended information extraction unit 14 specifies that there is no recommended information in step S205. Then, in step S206, the recommended information extraction unit 14 stores the specified recommended information in accordance with the worker-specific ability information of the corresponding worker.

Specifically, the recommended information extraction unit 14 specifies the recommended information with the specified "lifting" as the recommended function and the worker level "300 g" of the ability information as the recommended level. In this embodiment, only "lifting" is specified, but a plurality of recommended functions and recommended levels may be specified. When the recommended information is specified, the recommended information extraction unit 14 additionally stores the name of the basic worker information in the ability information for each worker whose name is Mitsubishi Taro, whose gender is male, and whose age is 70 years old.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a flow in which the request information extraction unit 16 stores the request information for each work. In step S301, the request information extraction unit 16 extracts the request information required for each work. The request information extraction unit 16 stores the request information extracted in step S302 in the request information storage unit 17.

The request information is stored in association with the request function and the request level required for each work. What kind of request function and request level are required for each work is defined in advance and stored in the request information storage unit 17. The work-specific request information stored in the request information storage unit 17 may be modified by the user in a timely manner, or a definition may be created, and the method of storage is not limited.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a flow in which the work calculation unit 18 calculates the work allocation information. First, in step S401, the work calculation unit 18 acquires the recommended information (RcItem _k, RcL _k ) of the worker H. Here, the recommended information is acquired for the worker H, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of workers may receive the recommended information in order, or the worker H may be specified by the user. May be specified, and the method of specifying the worker H is not limited. Specifically, for example, the worker identifies the recommended information of Mitsubishi Taro.

Next, in step S402, the work calculation unit 18 specifies the work-specific request information having the request information request function “Item _{k ” that matches the recommended function “RcItem k” of the acquired recommended information.} When there are a plurality of work-specific request information having the request function "Item _k ", the work calculation unit 18 specifies the plurality of work-specific request information. As a result, the work calculation unit 18 identifies the work including the required function corresponding to the recommended function. The work-specific request information of work W is specified.

Specifically, in step S204, the work calculation unit 18 identifies the work-specific request information having the basic work information "stacking work" having the request function "lifting" that matches the recommended function "lifting" of Mitsubishi Taro specified. do.

In step S403, the work calculation unit 18, the required level "RQL Recommended level" RCL _k "demand functions corresponding request information of the work-specific request information identified" Item _k "Recommended functional" RcItem _k "Recommended information Determine if there is a k that is lower than _{k ".} That is, it is determined whether or not the recommended level is lower than the required level. When it is determined that k does not exist, that is, when there is nothing whose recommended level is lower than the required level, the work calculation unit 18 in step S407 can perform the work having the requested information of the worker for the worker. Is determined.

Then, the work calculation unit 18 creates the work allocation information assuming that the work ID is W and the execution level can be executed. In step S408, the work calculation unit 18 adds the work allocation information to the worker-specific ability information of the worker H and stores it.

Specifically, the work calculation unit 18 compares the recommended level "300 g" of the recommended function "lifting" with the required information "lifting" required level "200 g" of the basic work information "stacking work". Determine if there is a lower recommended level. Since there is no recommended level to be lowered in this example, the performance level is judged to be recommended. In the present embodiment, only the basic work information "stacking work" is determined, but the present invention is not limited to this, and control may be made so that the determination is made for a plurality of operations.

Here, the work assignment information is information in which a work ID, which is information for identifying the work, and an execution level in which information indicating that the work can be performed are stored are associated with the work of the work assignment information. More specifically, the work assignment information having the work ID "stacked work" execution level "executable" is additionally stored in the ability information for each worker of Mitsubishi Taro.

In step S403, when the work calculation unit 18 determines that there is a k whose recommended level "RcL _{k " is lower than the required level "RqL k} " for each work, how many ks satisfy _{RcL k <RqL k.} Count if there is. If k is not one in step S404, the work calculation unit 18 determines in step S406 that the execution level of the work W of the worker H cannot be performed.

In this embodiment, it is determined how many recommended levels are lower than the required level, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and if there is even one recommended level lower than the required level, it is determined that the work cannot be performed. You may.

Specifically, when the recommended level of the recommended function "lifting" is "200g" and the required information of the basic work information "stacking work" and the required level of "lifting" is "300g", other recommended levels When there is a work in which the value becomes low, the work calculation unit 18 determines that the work cannot be performed.

In step S404, when it is determined that k is one, the work calculation unit 18 determines in step S405 that the execution level of the work W of the worker H _{can perform "Item k} " at the support level S. Here, the support level S is the difference between the required level and the recommended level, and when the recommended level is "200 g" and the required level is "300 g", the support level is "100 g".

Specifically, in the above example, the work calculation unit 18 determines that the execution level of the work "stacking work" of the worker "Mitsubishi Taro" can be "lifted" at the support level "100 g". In step S408, the work calculation unit 18 adds the work allocation information, which is the result of the determination in step S405, step S406, and step S407, to the ability information for each worker and stores it.

In the present embodiment, in step S404, the work calculation unit 18 determines whether or not k is greater than 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be whether or not k is greater than two, and the number of threshold values. Is not limited. The threshold value of k may be controlled so that it can be changed in a timely manner by accepting input by the user.

The work assignment device 100 determines whether or not the work can be performed by the worker by the work calculation unit 18. Based on this determination result, the user may assign work to the worker, or the work calculation unit 18 may control to automatically allocate work based on the determination result.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the entire flow in which the work assignment device 100 determines the feasibility of performing the work. The processing of the work assignment device 100 shifts from the flowchart of FIG. 12 to the flowchart of FIG. 13, the flowchart of FIG. 14, and the flowchart of FIG. 15 in this order. The work assignment device 100 acquires the ability information for each worker, compares it with the basic worker information, identifies the recommended information, and compares the specified recommended information with the acquired request information, so that the work can be performed. To judge. Since the details of the processing of each flowchart have already been explained, they are omitted here. The flowchart of FIG. 12 and the flowchart of FIG. 14 may be processed in advance, and the timing of extraction and storage of each information is not limited to FIG.

The work form information storage unit 23 stores the work form information.

FIG. 19 is an example of the assisting machine information stored in the machine-specific assisting function information storage unit 21 according to the second embodiment. Here, the support machine information represents the support content of the support machine that supports the work of the worker, and is stored in a format in which the basic machine information and the support function information are associated with each other. In this embodiment, work support is assumed at the site of the manufacturing industry, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the situation is not limited.

In the machine basic information, a machine ID that can uniquely identify the support machine that supports the work by the work assignment device 200 according to the second embodiment is stored. In the second embodiment, the machine ID is stored in English characters such as "lifting support robot" or "M", but the machine ID is not limited to this.

The support function information is stored as a combination of the support function and its maximum support level. The support function stores information that identifies the recommended function that the support machine supports, among the mental and physical functions. As the maximum support level, the level at which the support machine can support the corresponding recommended function at the maximum is stored.

In the second embodiment, the maximum support level of the support machine that supports the mental and physical function "lifting" is "1,000 g", and the maximum support level of the support machine that supports the mental and physical function "identification" is "1.0". It is memorized in each unit. The maximum support level may be stored numerically as long as it can be specified by a predetermined rule such as "2" for "lifting" and "7" for "identifying", and the way it is stored is not limited. ..

FIG. 20 is a general example of the assisting machine information stored in the machine-specific assisting function information storage unit 21 according to the second embodiment. The support function is stored _{as "Item N} " and the maximum support level _{is stored as "SpL N".}

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a flow in which the work form calculation unit 22 calculates the work form information. From here, the processing flow of the work form calculation unit 22 will be described. The description of the same flow as in the first embodiment will be omitted. The method of determining the performance level in steps S501 and S502 is as described in the first embodiment.

When the execution level of the work W of the worker H is "executable" in step S502 (when the execution level is the first step S407 of the embodiment), the process proceeds to step S503, and the work form calculation unit 22 determines that there is no machine support. do. When the execution level is "execution of" Item _N "at the support level S" (in the case of step S405 of the first embodiment), the process proceeds to step S504, and the work form calculation unit 22 supports "Item _N ". The machine M is selected. More specifically, the work mode calculation unit 22 refers to the support machine information and specifies the support machine information having the machine name M whose _{support function of the support function information is "Item N".} ..

A specific example will be described in the case where the execution level of the work "stacking work" of the worker "Mitsubishi Taro" of the first embodiment is "the ability to perform" lifting "at the support level of 100 g". With reference to the performance level, the support machine information in which the support function of the support function information is "lifting" is specified as the support machine information in which the support machine machine information is "lifting support robot".

Next, in step S505, the work mode calculation unit 22 determines whether or not the maximum support level SpL of the support machine M exceeds the support level S. The work form calculation unit 22 compares the maximum support level SpL of the support function information of the support machine information having the machine name M with the support level S of the execution level of the work W of the worker H, and the maximum support level SpL is selected. Is large.

Specifically, when the execution level is "the ability to perform" lifting "at the support level of 100 g", the work form calculation unit 22 specifies the support machine information which is the "lifting support robot", and the maximum support level is "400 g". The work mode calculation unit 22 compares the maximum support level "400 g" with the support level "100 g" and determines that the support level "400 g" is larger.

When the maximum support level "SpL" is larger than the support level S, the work form calculation unit 22 moves to step S506 and determines that the execution level of the work W of the worker H is "executable by support". If the maximum support level "SpL" is not larger than the support level S, the work mode calculation unit 22 returns to step S504 and selects the "machine name M" that supports _{another "Item k". If there is no other machine M that supports Item k} , the work form calculation unit 22 terminates the process as machine support is not possible.

Specifically, since it was determined in the previous example that the support level "400 g" is larger, the work form calculation unit 22 determines that the execution level of the work "stacking work" of the worker "Mitsubishi Taro" is "by support". Judged as "executable". In the present embodiment, the work form calculation unit 22 determines the "stacking work", but if there are a plurality of works that meet the conditions, the work form calculation unit 22 may determine a plurality of works.

When it is determined in step S506 that the execution level of the work W of the worker H is "executable by support", in step S507, the work form calculation unit 22 stores the work form information in the work form information storage unit 23. do. Here, the work form information stored in the work form information storage unit 23 according to the second embodiment is assigned according to the information that identifies the work assigned to the worker, its performability, and the performability. The machine ID, which is information for identifying the assisted machine, the information indicating which required function the assisted machine is assigned to, and the maximum support level of the assisted machine are stored in association with each other.

In the second embodiment, the work form calculation unit 22 has information on the work W, "executable" as the performability, M as the ID of the support machine, "Item _k " as the required function, and "SpL" as the maximum support level. Corresponds and stores. However, the information is not limited to this format, and any information that can determine which assistive machine is assigned to which required function of which work is sufficient. By storing this work form information in addition to the ability information for each worker, it is possible to identify which worker the work form information is for.

Specifically, since it was determined that the execution level of the work "stacking work" of the worker "Mitsubishi Taro" was "possible with support", the work form calculation unit 22 used the work "stacking work" as the work form information. Information on feasibility "executable", machine ID "lifting support robot", required function "lifting", and maximum support level "400g" is stored. This work mode information is stored in addition to the worker-specific ability information of the worker "Mitsubishi Taro".

From the stored work mode information, it is possible to know which support machine should be assigned to which worker. The user creates a work schedule based on the work form information specified by the work form calculation unit 22. The method of creating the work schedule is not limited to this, and the work calculation unit 18 may create a work schedule in which the support machine is assigned to the worker.
