Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bar code label suitable for managing a fixed number of consigned stock products such as a so-called "Toyama no Yakuhin" and a method for managing a stock of goods using the label. In particular, it is possible to systematize sales request business, inventory management business and the like in the medical supplies wholesale business to hospitals, office supplies wholesale business to offices and schools, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Products that store products at a specific customer's storage location and have them used freely when needed, while products that are constantly replenished by the product supplier to secure a certain stock are not available. , "Constant consignment stock products". Such a method of commerce was known in the old days as “Toyama's medicine”
It is mainly used for products that are heavily consumed and indispensable. In modern times, it is the best method for managing consumable medical materials in hospitals in particular, and specifically targets products such as needles, syringes, plasters, scalpels, sutures, thermometers, x-ray films, and cotton swabs. I have.

[0003] In such a transaction method, in order to perform the totalization of how much the customer has used the product and to replenish the necessary amount, conventionally, (1) the usage status is manually written in a usage ledger, How to compile this, (2) Affix a barcode label that identifies the relevant product to the product, read it directly with a barcode reader when using it, and compile this with a computer, (3) Print the barcode A method has been used in which the collected card is bundled with a product, collected, read in a batch at another time or place, and counted.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
(1) In the hand-written method, each time the customer uses the product, it is necessary to enter the product name, quantity used, etc. in the ledger, compile this, and place an order with the product supplier. However, there is a need for office work such as shipping instructions and billing, as well as confirmation of entry errors and omissions, so that both customers and merchandise suppliers require a lot of manpower and time.

[0005] In the method of (2) directly reading a barcode label, although labor saving of handwriting work is possible,
Since it is necessary to operate the barcode reader every time at that location and at that time, the operation becomes complicated, and when there are multiple consignment stock locations, multiple barcode readers are required, resulting in high management costs, etc. There were drawbacks.

[0006] Furthermore, in the method of (3) collecting and collecting a card, although the above two problems can be solved, it is necessary to use relatively strong paper for the card. If the card is disposable, the cost of the card will increase.If the card is used repeatedly, it will take time to collect the card again with the card. The type and quantity increased, and there was a problem that the labor of management became enormous. Also, in order to reuse a card, it is not possible to print information that changes sequentially or information that differs for each item on the card. For example, if the unit price of the product changes, it will be necessary to recreate the card, and to manage the expiration date. There was a difficulty that it could not be used as a computer.

[0007]

Therefore, the present inventor has developed a barcode label suitable for managing a fixed number of consigned stock items, and a product stock management method using the label.
That is, the bar code label, in a product affixed label provided with a release paper via an adhesive layer on the back surface, a character display portion and a bar code display portion on which product information is described on the label surface are printed, and both display portions are displayed. A label cutting line that can be cut off is provided therebetween, and a release paper cutting line is also provided on the release paper at a level different from the label cutting line.

[0008] Further, in the commodity inventory management method using the bar code label, the commodity is deposited in a storage location of a specific customer and is used freely when needed, while the commodity supplier continuously supplies the commodity. In the product transaction method of replenishing the used amount and securing a fixed inventory, (1) At the time of goods receipt, a label is attached to the product leaving the release paper on the back of the barcode display section, and (2) the product is At the time of use, only the barcode display section is cut off as a stub and affixed to a mount, and (3) by performing batch reading of the barcode label affixed to the mount, at least by computer management,
It is characterized in that (a) the use information of the product and the stock remaining number are grasped, and (b) the delivery note or the invoice is output.

Here, the product information printed on the character display section on the surface of the bar code label is the name of the product and the number of products (1).
The number of items necessary for sales management and inventory management, such as product identification at the time of delivery and use, such as the number of products in a box or one bag), product unit price, standard number, manufacturer name, expiration date, etc. . These pieces of product information are registered by assigning a predetermined number in advance to create a barcode, which will be described later. However, this number may be printed on the character display unit along with the product information.

[0010] The numbers assigned to the products to be traded are printed in a barcode format on a barcode display portion on the surface of the barcode label. It is desirable to use a two-dimensional barcode as the code. Furthermore, the bar code display section extracts all or a part of the product information described on the character display section so that the content of the product can be identified just by looking at the bar code display section separated as a stub. It is desirable to print it together with the barcode.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a bar code label according to the present invention and a method for managing inventory of goods using the bar code label will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of a barcode label according to the present invention. In this example, a label cutting line 2 is provided in the left and right direction at a position where the label 1 is vertically divided into approximately two parts. The upper half is a character display part 3 for describing product information, and the lower half is a bar code display part 4. The position where the character display section 3 and the bar code display section 4 are provided is not limited to this example. If the label cutting line 2 is interposed between them, the character display section 3 and the bar code display section 4 may be arranged upside down. May be arranged.

Information specific to the product to which the label is attached is printed on the character display section 3 of the label 1. In this example,
The number of items, the price, the product name, the standard, the manufacturer name, and the sterilization guarantee period are described, and the numbers assigned to the product information are described at the top. The bar code display section 4 which is later separated as a stub shows the two-dimensional bar code of the above-mentioned number and items extracted from the product information such as the product name and the standard.

A release paper 6 is adhered to the back surface of the label 1 via an adhesive layer 5. Above the release paper 6, a release paper is cut in parallel with the above-mentioned label cutting line 2. Line 7 is provided. As described above, since the label cutting line 2 and the release paper cutting line 7 are formed stepwise, even when the upper half release paper 6a is peeled off and the label 1 is affixed to the product, the bar code display section 4 is also displayed. It can be held without falling off, and only the barcode display section 4 can be separated from the label 1 attached to the product with the remaining lower half of the release paper 6b attached. The operation of peeling off the 6b and affixing the barcode display section 4 to a separately prepared backing sheet can be performed smoothly.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a commodity inventory management method according to the present invention, using a consumable medical material in a hospital as an example. As shown in this flowchart, when a fixed consignment inventory contract is concluded between the customer and the product supplier, the product supplier continually purchases the target products in an amount that can be supplied to the customer, Print and create a barcode label of the present invention based on product information data such as a product number assigned and registered in advance for the traded product,

The delivery list (delivery invoice) can be printed by reading it with a barcode reader of a computer placed at the product supplier while keeping it as it is. FIG. 3 shows an example of the format of a delivery breakdown.
As shown here, the output items include a delivery date, a customer (consignment stocking destination), an inventory department, a product name code, a product name, a unit, the number of pieces, a unit price, a manufacturer name, and the like. As a result, inventory management and order management of customers can be performed.

(2) Creation of use ledger When using the consigned inventory, the customer should cut off only the barcode display portion from the barcode label of the present invention as a stub, peel off the release paper, and separately Attach it to the prepared mount. This mount sheet functions as an input sheet for reading barcodes, and is used as a ledger indicating the use facts of the product by spelling it as it is. FIG. 4 shows an example in which a barcode display unit is attached to a mount.

(3) Replenishment order processing of used goods The bar code attached to the mount is read by a bar code reader of a computer located in a management department which performs a goods order processing of a customer, and at the same time, the goods supplier is notified. On the other hand, this product use information is transmitted online. As a result, the replenishment order processing of the product is automatically performed.

(4) Order processing and preparation of replenishment product When the product supplier receives the usage information transmitted online, the product supplier stores the information in a recording file in the computer and ships the product for replenishment. An instruction (a picking list for each product) is output, and a product according to the instruction is prepared. FIG. 5 shows an example of the format of the picking list for each product. As shown in this example,
The output items include a shipping instruction date, a maker name, a product code, a product name, a unit, the number of pieces, a destination place, a shelf number, and the like. As a result, it is possible to easily perform a product delivery instruction and a product shipping preparation.
