Then, according to the delivery plan, a packing instruction and a shipping instruction are given to each department based on the inventory information sent from each distribution base the day before.

That is, based on the inventory information from the distribution base, a packing instruction for sequentially packing in ascending order of the stock quantity is output to the packing line, and a shipping instruction based on the packing result is output to the shipping site. .

[0005]

However, since such packing instructions and shipping instructions are created based on the previous day's data sent from the distribution base, they are packed according to these instructions and transported to the shipping site. If the number of products that have been shipped exceeds the load capacity of the delivery vehicle that has been arranged, there is a problem that a product inventory (unloading) in a packed state occurs at the shipping site. On the contrary,
If the number of products delivered to the shipping site is less than the arranged loading capacity of the delivery vehicle, the delivery vehicle will leave with a margin of the loading capacity, which reduces the loading efficiency. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to output a packing instruction so that the loading efficiency of a delivery vehicle is 100%, thereby causing unloaded and unloaded items at the shipping site. (EN) It is intended to provide a packing work instruction system capable of reducing the amount of work in progress and the stock of work in progress.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the packing work instruction system of the present invention stores a work-in-process inventory in a product produced in a production factory, stores the work-in-process inventory in a warehouse, and stores it in a distribution base. Apply to a series of product delivery lines, such as packing required quantity from stored in-process inventory, transporting it to a shipping site, loading it on a delivery vehicle and delivering it to a logistics base based on the inventory information from After the end, based on the inventory information sent from the distribution base, the inventory information storage unit that stores the products in order of priority from the one with the smallest inventory, the packing result data on the day before delivery and the loading capacity data of the arranged delivery vehicle According to the priority of the stackable capacity calculation unit that calculates the remaining stackable capacity from the stackable capacity calculation unit and the stock information stored in the stock information storage unit, the stackable capacity calculated by the stackable capacity calculation unit Within the capacity range, the packable capacity from the packing start time on the day of delivery to the departure time of the delivery vehicle is calculated, and priority is given to the inventory information stored in the inventory information storage section by the calculated packable capacity. A packing instruction output unit for outputting the packing instruction for the in-process inventory according to the order.

[0008]

In the stock information storage unit, stock information sent from each distribution base after the end of the day's work is totaled, and the products are stored in each distribution base in order of priority from the product with the smallest stock.

The loadable capacity calculation unit calculates the remaining loadable capacity from the actual packing data at the end of the work on that day and the loadable capacity data of the delivery vehicle on the next day of the arrangement.

In the packing instruction output unit, first, according to the priority order of the inventory information stored in the inventory information storage unit, within the range of the loadable capacity calculated by the loadable capacity calculation unit, delivery is performed from the packing start time on the day of delivery. Calculate the packable capacity by the time the vehicle departs. Then, according to the calculated packable capacity, according to the priority order of the inventory information stored in the inventory information storage unit, a packing instruction for the in-process inventory stored in the warehouse is output.

As a result, when the delivery vehicle departs for the intended physical distribution base, the loading capacity is almost 100%, and the loading efficiency is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows the overall structure of a product delivery line to which the packing work instruction system of the present invention is applied.

That is, when in-process inventory occurs in products molded by, for example, the molding machine 11 installed in the production factory, these in-process inventory is stored in the warehouse 12.
In other words, in a production factory where extrusion molding or the like is performed, the equipment such as the molding machine 11 is operated for 24 hours in order to improve the production efficiency, while the work of packing the produced products is performed manually by, for example, 7 hours in the daytime. Has become. Therefore, the products produced while the packing work is not performed are temporarily stored in the warehouse 12 as in-process inventory.

Further, in such a production factory, a delivery vehicle for the next day is arranged on the basis of the packing result data at the end of the day of business. Then, according to the delivery plan, a packing instruction and a shipping instruction are given to each department based on the inventory information sent from each distribution base the day before.

That is, at the beginning of work, the necessary quantity is packed in the packing line 13 from the in-process inventory stored in the warehouse 12 and is transported to the shipping site 14. Then, it is loaded on the arranged delivery vehicle 15 and delivered to the intended distribution base 16.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of a packing work instruction system of the present invention applied to the product delivery line described above.

In the figure, the inventory information sent from each physical distribution base 16, 16 ... After the end of the day's work is given to the inventory information storage unit 1. In the inventory information storage unit 1,
This inventory information is analyzed and stored in order of priority from the product with the smallest inventory quantity, and the stored inventory information is output to the packing instruction output unit 3 as necessary.

On the other hand, the loadable capacity calculating section 2 is provided with the actual packing data on the packing line 13 on that day and the loading capacity data of the delivery vehicle on the next day of the arrangement. The loadable capacity calculation unit 2 calculates the remaining loadable capacity of the arranged delivery vehicle from the actual packing data and the loadable capacity data, and outputs the calculated loadable capacity data as a packing instruction if necessary. Output to the part 3.

In the packing instruction output unit 3, the stock information storage unit 1
In accordance with the priority order of the inventory information given from the above, within the range of the loadable capacity calculated by the loadable capacity calculation unit 2, the packable capacity from the packing start time of the delivery day to the departure time of the delivery vehicle is calculated. Then, the packing instruction for the in-process inventory is output to the packing line 13 in accordance with the priority of the inventory information given from the inventory information storage unit by the calculated packable capacity.

In the above configuration, the inventory information storage unit 1, the loadable capacity calculation unit 2, and the packing instruction output unit 3 are each configured to include software that operates on a computer, and in the case of this embodiment. Are processed by the factory host computer.

Next, the processing operation of the packing work instruction system having the above configuration will be described.

However, as a premise of this processing operation, it is assumed that the delivery vehicle 15 delivers only to one distribution base 16 at one delivery, and the delivery vehicle 15 can be arranged by the packing record by the day before shipping. Based on the number of units, the destination, and the number of tons, the production plant will use a 24-hour production line and the packing work will be a 7-hour daytime operation.

Inventory information is sent to the inventory information storage unit 1 from each of the physical distribution sites 16, 16 ... The inventory information storage unit 1 aggregates this inventory information,
For each of the distribution bases 16, 16 ...

The table shown in FIG. 3 shows an example of inventory information of the day sent from a certain distribution base 16. In this table, the stock of the product number WWWWW is the smallest and the stock month is 0.2 months. In addition, the product number ZZZZ is the most in stock, with a monthly inventory of 1.0. In the stock information storage unit 1, the stock information is stored in order of priority from the smallest stock month.

On the other hand, the loadable capacity calculation unit 2 is provided with the packing actual result data at the end of the work day (for example, PM 5:00), and the delivery vehicle for the next day is arranged from this packing actual result data. .

The table shown in FIG. 4 shows an example of the actual packaging data. In this table, product number AAAA to product number EEE
The total packaging results up to E is 1500 (age). Therefore, it is necessary to select a delivery vehicle to be arranged the next day that has a capacity capable of loading at least 1500 (ages). Here, the term "talent" means ... (please describe the meaning of the talent).

On the other hand, FIG. 5 is a list showing the number of delivery vehicles on hand and the loading capacity (number of vehicles) of the vehicle company to which the order is made. From this table, the vehicle that can load 1500 (age) is only the vehicle d that can load 2000 (age), so in this case, the vehicle d will be arranged.

In the loadable capacity calculation unit 2, how much more can be loaded based on these data [that is, 1500 (age) as the actual packing data and 2000 (age) as the load capacity data of the delivery vehicle]. Calculate.
That is, in this case, 500 (age) obtained by subtracting 1500 from 2000 is the loadable capacity.

In the packing instruction output unit 3, the stock information storage unit 1
In the range of the loadable capacity calculated by the loadable capacity calculating unit 2 [500 (age)] according to the priority order of the inventory information shown in FIG. . 8:00) to the departure time of the delivery vehicle (for example, PM 3:00) is calculated. Here, in the present embodiment, if the calculated packable capacity is 500 (age), which is the same as the stackable capacity,
From Figure 3, the product month WWWW has the smallest number of inventory months 800
Since it is (age), an instruction to pack the product number WWWW for 500 (age) is output to the packing line 13.

In the packing line 13, the in-process inventory of the product number WWW is carried out from the warehouse 12 from the start of the work on the day (AM. 8:00), sequentially packed in the packing line 13 and transported to the shipping site 14.

At the shipping site 14, 1500 packed the day before
After loading (talent) products, the current packaging line 13
The product for 500 (ages) in the package is loaded at.
As a result, the delivery time of the delivery vehicle 15, PM 3: 0
By 0, it will be possible to start at a loading rate of 100%. In other words, conventionally, the starting rate was 75% (1500 ÷ 2000 × 100), but in this case, the loading rate is 100%, and the loading efficiency is improved.

In the above embodiment, the calculated packing capacity is assumed to be 500 (age), which is the same as the loading capacity. However, depending on the departure time of the delivery vehicle 15, the packing line 13 may be used. Due to the packaging capacity of the above, the packable quantity may fall below the loadable capacity. In this case,
Although the loading rate of the delivery vehicle 15 does not reach 100%, it is at least higher than the conventional 75%. Further, by using such a packing instruction, a necessary product is packed in a necessary amount, so that there is no leftover and a minimum in-process inventory is obtained.
