Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic trading system for apparel goods by a network of a client / server system for realizing the sale of sold goods and optimizing the stock of goods.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Apparel products include, but are not limited to, the silk industry, the spinning industry, the textile industry, the knitting industry, the dyeing industry, the textile industry and the sewing industry. In terms of production, this product is suitable for planned production. Apparel products are generally
It is supplied to the market by a car.

[0003] Many apparel products are planned before the season, and the design by the designer and the patterner belongs to the apparel manufacturer or M outsourced to the outside.
Commercialization is considered by D (Merchandizer), etc.
Based on the result of the examination, materials and the like are purchased by apparel company materials.

[0004] Product planning for apparel products is generally
Collection and analysis of information directly and indirectly related to apparel products, determination of product subjects, product characteristics and streams
Decision, seasonal color decision, main material (outer material etc.) decision, auxiliary material (lining, button, fastener etc.) decision, design decision, sample product prototype, exhibition at exhibition and product It is performed in the order of production.

[0005] Successful product planning for apparel products includes domestic and foreign fashion information, consumer demand trends, social situations, past sales performance information on apparel products, various technical information and distribution related to apparel products. It is considered indispensable to collect information relating to the market and demand trends in information (information such as distribution channels and distribution costs), and to objectively analyze (analyze) the collected information.

On the other hand, the planning of apparel products is actually carried out by the MD of the apparel manufacturer, and is carried out by specialists in the apparel manufacturing industry, textile manufacturers, etc. as necessary. I have.

[0007] Therefore, in the conventional product planning of apparel products, since the individual research departments or specialized information organizations of apparel companies largely depend on the information collected, the next series is based on demand forecasts based on extremely incomplete information. Dung was being planned.

[0008] For this reason, apparel manufacturers have a problem in that they often supply apparel products that have become sluggish due to the large gaps in product planning. Apparel manufacturers, on the other hand, may have adopted countermeasures such as lowering the set price for the upper price, returning the apparel product, and reducing the price. -There was a problem of bringing it.

[0009] Also, the occurrence of poorly sold apparel products causes damage to specialty retail stores due to a decrease in morals and the like, and a decrease in the profitability due to a reduction in the production price.
There was a problem of bringing it to the car.

[0010] Therefore, after receiving an order at a product exhibition, a small order is produced in small increments by additional marketing.
Quick response (so-called QR) ordering for cars has been adopted and spread. However, frequent ordering of small quantities of goods by a quick response to a production maker requires the production maker to remarkably prepare for excessive equipment and excessive labor. The problem has arisen that the operation of the system becomes difficult economically.

On the other hand, it has been proposed to apply a transaction using a computer system to a transaction of apparel goods.
Quick response (so-called “quick response”) that shares information on each process related to selection and procurement of raw materials, production of products in factories, finishing of products, distribution of products, mediation and sales of products, sales prediction, and distribution of products such as top sellers. , QR) system is applied to electric commerce (so-called EC).

Further, an ECR mainly for collecting customer information
(Consumer Res) built by incorporating the concept of the ECR system and ECR into Quick Response
ponse) system has been applied to textiles.
However, C for product planning and sales of apparel products
When the R system is adopted, there is a problem that the capital investment of the production maker becomes excessive and the profit becomes worse.

[0013] Catalog sales (so-called Internet mail-order sales) performed using the Internet homepage are used to sell apparel goods to customers in wide areas at low labor costs. I have.

A large-scale shopping street (so-called mall) in which a large number of shops are concentrated on the home page is posted on the home page, giving convenience to the customer when accessing, and providing access. There are also Internet mail-order sales that provide merchants with the benefits of increased rates.

[0015]

There are various problems represented by the following items (a) to (d) regarding the transaction of apparel products using the conventional computer system. (A) In conventional mail order sales of apparel goods using a home page on the Internet, information transmitted from a customer stays at a store where the home page is posted.
There is a problem that it is not used for product planning of apparel manufacturers.

Further, there is a problem that the store cannot provide apparel products satisfying the customer's request even if the access rate of the customer is improved. (B) Software for planning and supporting sales plans has been proposed in the past (for example, see Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No.
-44630 gazette etc.). However, there has been a problem that the conventionally proposed software cannot be used for trading and production of apparel products. In addition, there is a problem in that no software has been proposed which suggests a solution to the inherent difficulty (for example, the occurrence of poorly sold products) that occurs in apparel product transactions.

[0017] Sales management software has been proposed in the past. However, in the conventional software of this type, a voucher processing system processed in the sale of goods is performed by computer processing using electronic information. (C) Software for production management has been conventionally proposed (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-200038). However, the proposed production management simply converts the actions performed on the production line into electronic information and operates the production line by software based on the electronic information. Accordingly, there has been a problem that no software for production management has been proposed to solve the problems of the production manufacturers in the apparel industry. (D) Software for product demand forecasting has been proposed in the past (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-44630).

However, the demand forecast proposed here is a method for improving the validity of the predicted value by correcting an abnormality of a numerical value introduced into a known prediction model.

Therefore, the form of a product is greatly affected by fashion, consumption tendency and social phenomena, and the distinction between an abnormal value and a normal value in general demand forecasting theory may not be clear. The demand forecast of the apparel product to be obtained is difficult with the demand forecast software according to the conventional proposal.

Accordingly, the present invention solves the problems that have occurred in conventional transactions for apparel products (particularly, conventional transactions using a computer system).
The purpose is to provide a new electronic trading system for apparel products that realizes the sale of sold products, optimizes product inventory, increases the efficiency of product orders, increases the efficiency of product production, and ensures product planning. And

According to the present invention, for a store, the effect of increasing the effect of advertising, increasing sales, expanding regions, creating new customers, acquiring information necessary for sales, accurately predicting fashion trends and top-selling products, and creating business opportunities It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic trading system for apparel products that enables expansion and improvement of the product turnover.

The present invention provides an apparel company with real-time information on inventory and digestion trends of apparel products, early detection of poorly selling products (so-called dying products), and sales of seasonal products. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic trading system for apparel products that enables product ordering and inventory (ie, optimization of product inventory) and accurate product planning.

The present invention provides an apparel product for a production maker that can improve the purchasing rate by improving the digestibility of apparel products, reduce production costs, improve productivity, improve quality, and plan production. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic trading system.

It is an electronic transaction system that has such information that can be shared through a client computer.

For demand forecasting, generally, a method of introducing a specific numerical value into a linear model to calculate a forecast value is adopted. Many general formulas have been proposed for linear models for demand forecasting, and many of them have been known.

However, the economic phenomena that are the targets of demand forecasting have many fluctuation factors that cause abnormal values, and many methods have been proposed to correct them.

One of the main reasons why the number of fluctuation factors increases is that the specific numerical values introduced into the linear model are not numerical values that objectively represent the economic phenomena to be demand forecasted.

However, in the sixth aspect of the present invention, numerical values generated in actual transactions at many different types of stores are statistically processed, and the numerical values representing the actual transactions of the stores as objective values are accurately obtained. Since a numerical value having a high degree of reliability is used, a process of calculating a demand forecast value with high accuracy can be performed even when a conventional linear model equation is used.

Even if the numbers resulting from actual transactions at many different dealers do not fit the linear model equation,
Since the numerical values themselves are objective, it is possible to perform demand forecasting using a nonlinear model used in economic forecasting.

It is known that when the apparel products are of seasonal nature, the actual demand periods differ due to the fact that the Japanese archipelago is long in the north-south direction and the climatic conditions are different. The difference in the actual demand period has only been empirically predicted because data indicating the difference in the actual demand period cannot be collected. However, in the present invention (first to fifth inventions), since the stores are deployed in each region of the whole country, information on sales trends in each region of the whole country is transmitted to the server through the client computer. Is processed.

For this reason, the server is required to provide a seasonal apparel product with a shift in the actual demand time in each region of the whole country, the movement state of the Japanese archipelago in the north-south direction during the actual demand time, and the movement of the actual demand time. Information such as speed is accumulated, and information that accurately indicates a difference in actual demand time is obtained.

Therefore, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, by dividing the Japanese archipelago into several blocks in the north-south direction, the demand period of seasonal apparel products in each region of the Japanese archipelago is demanded in a time-series line. It is possible to make a prediction (current season and next season).

In the present invention, detailed customer information is
The data is processed and stored in a server, and the selling information on various kinds of apparel products is statistically processed by the server and output.

Therefore, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to perform processing for obtaining information for new product development from the current season's selling information and customer information obtained by statistical processing. As a result, the success rate of product planning for the next season's apparel products can be improved, and production equipment can be optimized.

The present invention is in line with the object of the present invention, and unless the effects of the present invention are particularly impaired, partial changes and modifications of the present invention or partial modifications to the present invention are made. The addition is optional and all are within the scope of the present invention.
