Abstract

PURPOSE:To automize the determination of parts demand priority and a demanding work. CONSTITUTION:A demand matter extracting/aligning part 2 extracts arranged parts to be delivered before the day concerned from undelivered arranged parts mentioned in a parts necessary data table 6, and aligns them in order of parts necessary day. Subsequently, the arranged parts are aligned in order of priority of the manufacturing order to which the parts concerned shown in a manufacturing order priority table 7 is to be allowed to correspond. An automatic demanding part 3 refers to a demanding method definition file 1, obtains a demanding method of the respective arranged parts, and executes an automatic demand of one or both of demand document transmission to a facsimile 9, and demand document transmission through a material VAN 10 in accordance with designation of the demanding method in order of priority of the manufacturing order. A demand instructing part 4 refers to the demanding method definition file 1, arranges demand matters by every person in charge of the demand, and when an inquiry is executed from a terminal, it is displayed on a screen of a demand person-in-charge terminal 11. A demanding method registering part 5 executes registration of the demanding method to the demanding method definition file 1 by an interactive screen.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dunning support function in a parts procurement system using a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a computer-based parts procurement system places a fixed amount of bulk orders and orders against the requirements of a plurality of parts generated by the material requirements plan of its production management system, which is a host system. Is to do. The order to the parts manufacturer and the delivery date reply from the parts manufacturer are exchanged electronically via VAN or telephone line, and when the order form is printed or handed or sent by mail or facsimile (the order form is sent directly from the computer to the facsimile. In some cases, the output is included), and then an order is made to obtain an answer to the delivery date by telephone.

[0003] In the parts reminder support system in the conventional parts procuring system, a list of undelivered arrangements is output on a terminal screen or a form for each reminder staff member, and while watching the reminder staff member, a higher system of the parts sourcing system. It was general to make a reminder call by taking into consideration the parts required date based on the manufacturing small schedule plan indicated by the barrel production management system and the priority of the manufacturing order to which the parts should be allocated.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In recent years, the number of types of products has been reduced,
With the shortening of delivery times and intensifying market competition, the production plan initially planned is often required to be changed before the delivery of parts. For this reason, the manufacturing small schedule plan at the start of manufacturing is not always following the original production plan, and the latest manufacturing small schedule plan should be referred to for the priority of the manufacturing order to which the ordered parts should be assigned. It is not possible to obtain it, and this leads to an increase in the amount of work for deciding the priority of reminder personnel and their managers. In addition, the number of parts orders has been increasing with the downsizing of order lots, and as a result, the number of orders has been increasing. In the above-described conventional parts dunning system, the dunning priority decision-making and dunning work have a problem that the work time increases as the number of dunning cases increases, but the quality is deteriorated due to missing dunning.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dunning method definition file for registering a dunning method in a parts dunning support system in a parts procurement system using a computer, which is indicated by a production management system of a host system. A dunning matter extraction / arrangement unit for extracting a dunning part from the ordered undelivered arrangement data according to the required part date based on the manufacturing small schedule plan and the priority of the manufacturing order to which the part should be allocated, and the dunning item An automatic dunning unit that automatically dunnes the dunning parts in the order of the priority of the manufacturing order according to the dunning method registered in the method definition file, and a dunning instruction unit that displays dunning information on a computer terminal screen provided in advance. And a dunning method registration unit for registering the dunning method in the dunning method definition file. To.

According to a second aspect of the invention, the automatic reminder is V
It is characterized by having VAN reminder means for automatically notifying the supplier manufacturer of the reminder component through the AN.

The third aspect of the invention is characterized in that the automatic reminder unit has a facsimile reminder means for automatically sending the reminder component by using a facsimile connected to the computer.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

The parts dunning support system of the present invention comprises a dunning method definition file 1, a dunning item extracting and arranging unit 2, an automatic dunning unit 3, a dunning instructing unit 4, and a dunning method registering unit 5. Parts required date list 6 and manufacturing order priority table 7
Is provided from the production management system 8 to the parts reminder support system of the present invention. The dunning case extraction / arrangement unit 2 extracts arranged parts to be delivered before the relevant date from the undelivered arranged parts listed in the required part date list 6 and arranges them in the order of the required parts. Next, the arranged parts are arranged in the order of priority of the manufacturing orders to which the parts are to be assigned, as shown in the manufacturing order priority table 7.

The automatic dunning unit 3 refers to the dunning method definition file 1, obtains a dunning method for each of the arranged parts, and transmits a dunning document to the facsimile 9 according to the designation of the dunning method in the order of the priority of the manufacturing order and the material. Automatic dunning of either or both of dunning document transmissions via VAN 10.
The dunning instruction section 4 refers to the dunning method definition file 1, arranges dunning matters for each dunning staff member, and displays an inquiry on the screen of the dunning staff member terminal 11 if there is an inquiry from the terminal.
The dunning method registration unit 5 registers the dunning method in the dunning method definition file 1 through an interactive screen.

[0012]

As described above, the parts dunning support system of the present invention automates the decision making of dunning priorities and dunning work, thereby increasing the work time and the dunning omission as the number of dunning projects increases. It has the effect of preventing the decrease of.
