Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a processing apparatus for smoothly processing deliveries, and more particularly to an order delivery processing apparatus when using a so-called "kanban" system.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A method using a so-called "kanban" has been proposed as a method for managing parts delivered from a front-end process, such as a parts manufacturer, to a back-end process, such as an assembly factory. That is, the part type, supplier name, delivery destination name, quantity, etc. are recorded on a ``kanban'', and when the parts are used at the assembly factory, the ``kanban'' is removed and collected.

[0003] The collected "kanbans" are sorted by supplier, and each supplier arranges and delivers a predetermined number of parts to each delivery destination within the assembly factory based on the information on the "kanbans."

0004

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the past, parts were sorted on "kanban" after they were collected from the assembly factory, and a delivery note and receipt were created in advance for each "kanban" before parts were collected. There were the following problems. 1) In the event that an item is actually out of stock, it is necessary to revise the delivery note and receipt that have already been created, which requires time. 2) It is difficult to grasp the progress status of delivery operations.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and by creating delivery notes and receipts that include out-of-stock information in advance, processing is speeded up, corrections are greatly reduced, and work progress status can be easily monitored. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an order receipt/delivery processing device that makes it easy to understand.

A collection instruction slip issuing means 104 issues a collection instruction slip for instructing the collection of goods for each classification classified in 03, and a collection result input means 105 inputs the actual results of collection according to the instructions of the collection instruction slip issuing means 104. and a statement of delivery creation means 106 that creates a statement of delivery based on the collection record input to the collection record input means 105.

[0007]

[Operation] According to the present invention, the "kanban" corresponding to the goods requested for delivery from the subsequent process is selected, the "kanban" is classified according to the previous process, and a collection instruction slip is issued for each classification. Ru. The collection results based on this collection instruction slip are input, and a delivery note reflecting the collection results is created.

[0008]

[Embodiment] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an order delivery processing apparatus according to the present invention, in which a controller 201 that controls the entire apparatus, a storage device 202 such as a disk memory, and a "kanban" are installed. Hopper 2 to accumulate
03. Reader 204 that reads “Kanban” information, “
A sorter 205 for sorting ``Kanban'', a collection instruction device 206 for outputting a collection instruction slip, such as a barcode F.
and a collection record input device 207, which is, for example, a barcode reader.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a routine for order delivery processing executed by the controller 201, and is executed by so-called batch processing. Step 30
1, the "kanbans" accumulated in the hopper 203 are sent out one by one, and the information recorded on the "kanbans", for example, by a bar code, is read by the reader 204.

In the present invention, the process immediately proceeds to step 304 after reading the "kanban" information, but in step 302, inventory information stored in the storage device 202 is searched to determine whether or not the part is in stock. It is also possible to do so. If the result of determining the presence or absence of stock is that there is no stock, the code of the part is stored in the out-of-stock information area of the storage device 202 in step 303, and step 30
Proceed to step 4.

[0011] If the inventory is not determined or if there is inventory, the process directly proceeds to step 304, and the classification of the "kanban" is determined according to preset classification. Although the method of sorting is not particularly specified, for example, the parts can be sorted so that the collection route of the parts is the shortest. According to this classification, "kanban" is sorted by sorter 205 in step 305.
It is divided into pockets provided in the.

[0012] Then, in step 306, it is determined whether or not the classification of all the parts requested for delivery has been completed.If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 301 and the next "kanban" is read. If an affirmative determination is made in step 306, a collection instruction slip, for example a barcode F, is output for each category in step 307.

The parts are collected in accordance with this collection instruction slip, and in step 308 the collection results are input by, for example, the bar code reader 206. If a part to be collected is out of stock, the missing part can be notified by inputting the part code after the code representing the out of stock item. Next, the process proceeds to step 312, but when inventory management is performed using the storage device 202, if out-of-stock information is input, an affirmative determination is made in step 309, and in step 310, the part is stored in the out-of-stock information area of the storage device 202. After recording the code and modifying the inventory information in the storage device 202 in step 311, the process proceeds to step 312.

[0014] Case where inventory management is not performed and step 3
If a negative determination is made in step 09, the process directly proceeds to step 312, where it is determined whether or not collection results have been input for all collection instruction forms. If a negative determination is made in step 312, the process returns to step 308 and waits for input of the next collection record.

If an affirmative determination is made in step 312, the process proceeds to step 313, where a delivery note and a receipt are created as one set. At this time, the out-of-stock information is referenced, and if the parts cannot be delivered due to out-of-stock items, that fact is clearly indicated. Alternatively, if there is a missing item as a result of collection, only the parts that are actually delivered without being listed on the delivery note or receipt will be listed on the delivery note or receipt, and the missing parts will be registered in the undelivered information area. It is also possible to output a pickup instruction as soon as the shortage is resolved.

Note that the controller 201 includes a communication device 210.
By adding a ``kanban,'' it is also possible to receive delivery instructions before the kanban is collected. In other words, if the delivery information can be known in advance, the kanban can be forwarded from the assembly factory by searching for the kanban in which the delivery instructions transmitted via communication are recorded from among the kanbans stocked in advance. Save the time needed to get there.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, since the "kanban" is classified into each predetermined category, it is possible to accurately grasp the collection status of parts or information on out-of-stock items. Furthermore, it becomes possible to repeatedly and effectively use "kanban". Furthermore, by inputting delivery information in advance via communication, it is possible to shorten the time required for delivery.
