The present invention relates to a method for managing a hub by a supplier using the Internet, and more particularly, to a method for enabling a supplier to manage a stock of a hub by exchanging information between the hub and the supplier through the Internet.

In the past, logistics (eg, material) transactions between buyers and suppliers took the form of direct transactions with each other. In other words, if the buyer presents the necessary amount of space between the buyer and the supplier, the supplier will receive the necessary amount of logistics in the hub, and the buyer will take the necessary logistics in the hub.

In this case, the buyer sends a Purchasing Order (PO) to the supplier, who reports the purchase order and places the corresponding quantity of logistics in the hub. Logistics received at the hub are paid entirely by the buyer, so there is no inventory burden on the supplier.

That is, the trading method through the purchase order between the buyer and the supplier is a method in which the buyer controls the inventory of the hub through the purchase order, the burden on the inventory is high on the buyer side.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a hub management method by a supplier using the Internet which enables the supplier side to control the inventory of the hub by information exchange on the Internet. .

In order to achieve the above object, a hub management method by a provider using the Internet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided by a provider terminal accessing a specific server via the Internet and inputting information at a predetermined time interval related to logistics inventory processing. And a first process of providing a screen capable of checking; And the estimated inventory information calculated on the basis of the requirement information displayed on the screen, the inventory information of the hub, and the shipment information to the supplier terminal, according to the estimated inventory amount displayed on the screen of the supplier terminal. And a second process of determining and inputting supplementary schedule information that can be received.

Hereinafter, a hub management method by a provider using the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a system to which the method of the present invention is applied and inputs information related to requirements for logistics to be consumed, target inventory of a hub determined in consultation with a supplier, daily orders for logistics received in the hub, payment, and the like. A buyer side terminal 10 capable of accessing the Internet and checking received information; A supplier side terminal 20 capable of inputting supplementary schedule information and verifying Internet access and received information; A hub-side terminal 30 capable of inputting information on logistics received at the hub, information on logistics shipped from the hub, inventory information and shipping information of the hub, and checking Internet access and received information; And receiving the information from the buyer side terminal 10, the supplier side terminal 20, and the hub side terminal 30 to generate expected inventory information internally, thereby providing the buyer side terminal 10 and the supplier side terminal 20. And transmitting to the hub side terminal 30, additionally providing the hub stock information and shipping information to the buyer side terminal 10, and supplying the requirement information and the stock / receipt of the hub to the supplier side terminal 20. It is provided with a logistics server 40 to provide information / payment information, and to provide information on the order amount per day to the hub-side terminal (30).

The logistics processing server 40 may include consumption plan information from the buyer side terminal 10, supplementary schedule information from the supplier side terminal 20, and the hub side terminal 30. After calculating the projected inventory based on Hub Inventory information and In-transit information, the Buyer-side terminal 10, the supplier-side terminal 20, and the hub-side terminal 30 are calculated. To provide.

That is, the logistics processing server 40 is a standardized form that enables input and confirmation of various items when the buyer terminal 10, the supplier terminal 20, and the hub terminal 30 are connected through the Internet. Provide the screen. Accordingly, the buyer-side terminal 10, the supplier-side terminal 20 and the hub-side terminal 30 reports the item-specific information input from the other side and inputs the appropriate information.

For the items included in the standardized screen, the buyer side terminal 10, the supplier side terminal 20, and the hub side terminal 30 are not able to manipulate information at will, but can input information and modify them individually. This is decided.

In FIG. 1, the requirement information provided from the buyer side terminal 10 to the logistics processing server 40 is information indicating an expected requirement, and the expected requirement information is provided to the logistics processing server 40 on a weekly basis. Is entered.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the standardized screen enables input and confirmation of various information at one week intervals. In Fig. 2, "day1, day2, day3, day4, day5, ..." means 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks, 9 weeks, 10 weeks, 11 weeks. , 12 weeks, 4 months, 5 months, and 6 months. Of course, the information providing period may be extended to two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, etc., if necessary, rather than one week.

In the standardized screen, one vendor corresponds to one logistics item. That is, the standardized screen is provided separately for each supplier and logistics item.

The screen (i.e., table) of FIG. 2 is a consumption plan information item uploaded from the buyer side, a hub inventory information item uploaded by a hub operator, a shipment inputted by a supplier or a hub company after shipment. (In-transit from Supplier to Hub) information item, replenishment schedule information item entered by the supplier, automatically calculated based on the above information (ie requirements information, hub inventory information, shipping information, replenishment schedule information) Projected Inventory information item to be calculated, Required Inventory information item to be calculated based on the requirement information, supplementary schedule information, and estimated inventory information, and to be notified according to the expected inventory calculation result (Stock Out, Min Stock Violation, Excess Inventory, and Max Hub Inventory and Min Hub Inventory information items determined by buyers.

Of course, each item included in the standardized screen illustrated in FIG. 2 may be deleted, replaced, or added as necessary.

In FIG. 2, when the buyer enters the requirement information, the supplier determines the quantity of the hub inventory and the shipment information (that is, the quantity that can be received in the hub on time) and inputs the data. . That is, the supplier determines the quantity that can be received according to the requirement information input from the buyer side, and the temporal changeable range of the supplementary schedule information input from the supplier side may change the requirement information at the buyer side. It is in the temporal range. For example, the requirement information change performed on the buyer side may be made up to 4 weeks or 8 weeks before the arrival of the hub of the corresponding logistics item. The changeable range of the requirement information may be changed as necessary for each logistics item.

On the other hand, the supplier supplies the corresponding logistics item in accordance with the requirements information input from the buyer side, the supplier of the maximum value (Max) and the minimum value (Min) of the hub inventory amount to fill in the standardized screen (that is, the table) It can be supplied within the range. That is, the maximum hub inventory information and the minimum hub inventory information are information input from the buyer side. For example, the maximum hub inventory information is the current week for each logistic item (eg, day1). ), And the minimum hub inventory information is the sum of the requirements information up to two weeks after the current week (for example, day1) for each logistic item. It is a piece of information. The time range of 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks, which are the criteria for entering the maximum hub inventory information and the minimum hub inventory information, are not applied to all logistics items as they are, but are set differently for each logistics item.

In FIG. 2, the estimated inventory information is obtained by subtracting the requirement information from the sum of the hub inventory information and the shipment information on the basis of the current week (for example, day1). If you have supplemental schedule information, add the estimated inventory (0) in the previous week, day4, and the value (600) of the supplemental schedule information in the current week (that is, day5), and then add the current week (that is, day5). Subtracting the value (100) of the requirement information of the) becomes the estimated inventory information 500 for the current week (that is, day5).

2, the required stock for the current week (eg, day1) is the result of subtracting the requirement information 100 of the current week (ie, day1) from the estimated information amount information 200 of the next week (eg, day2). The value 100 becomes the required inventory information for the current week (ie day1). If there is supplemental schedule information entered by the supplier as in day5, the required inventory information in day4 is the requirement information of the current week (that is, day4) from the estimated inventory information 500 in the next week (that is, day5). As a result of subtracting the value 600 of the supplementary schedule information of the next week (that is, day5) from the value obtained by subtracting (100), the value (-200) becomes essential inventory information for the current week (that is, day4).

The screen shown in FIG. 2 is a screen provided when the buyers, suppliers and hubs are connected to the logistics server 40 using the terminals 10, 20, and 30, and the screens are displayed on the buyers, suppliers, and hubs. By inputting each piece of information into the table, it is possible to easily grasp the status of logistics inventory and the expected processing situation.

Although it will be described as uploading information to the server 40 and providing specific information from the logistics processing server 40 to the buyer, supplier, and hub side, the specific screen (X) provided by the site of the logistics processing server 40 is substantially provided. -Net screen) allows buyers, suppliers and hubs to enter and verify information.

First, the buyer side establishes a moving goods plan, calculates the necessary requirements information, adjusts and confirms them, and then accesses the logistics server 40 through the Internet and uploads the determined requirements information. In this case, the requirement information calculation is performed once or twice a week, and when the change of water volume is large, it is frequently performed.

At the hub side, the hub operator accesses the logistics server 40 through the Internet and inputs inventory information upload and shipment information of the hub. Here, the inventory information of the hub is uploaded every time there is a change in the hub warehouse management system, and the shipment information is input whenever the shipment information is obtained from the supplier.

Accordingly, the logistics processing server 40 calculates the estimated inventory based on the currently input information and transmits the estimated inventory to the supplier terminal 20 using the calculated expected inventory as new required information. Of course, the new required information is also transmitted to the hub side terminal 30.

The supplier terminal 20 examines the expected inventory as the new required information, and inputs a replenishment schedule indicating the quantity that can be replenished at the supplier side to the logistics processing server 40.

Then, the logistics processing server 40 notifies the estimated inventory correction after recalculating the estimated inventory previously calculated.

Accordingly, the buyer side examines whether the received expected inventory exceeds or falls short of the requirement and responds thereto. In this case, if the received estimated inventory is insufficient, the supplier contacts the logistics supplier to coordinate opinions, select another supplier, or change the movement plan.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating operations from shipment to arrival of a hub applied to a method for managing a hub by a provider using the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention. Will be described as uploading information to the logistics processing server 40 and providing specific information from the logistics processing server 40 to buyers, suppliers, and hubs, but substantially provided by the site of the logistics processing server 40. The specific screen (X-Net screen) allows the buyer, supplier and hub to enter and confirm information.

First, the supplier determines the stock replenishment plan and then accesses the logistics server 40 through the Internet and inputs the determined replenishment plan. The supplier prepares an invoice and requests a forwarder for shipment. Accordingly, the carrier issues a bill of lading (B / L) to the supplier and sends the shipment information to the supplier side and the hub side after shipment. The supplier side directly acquires the B / L from the carrier, and the hub side obtains shipping information from the carrier in the form of B / L, invoice and fax.

Subsequently, the hub side accesses the logistics processing server 40 through the Internet, inputs shipping information, and enters the hub through bonded transportation. Then, the hub side transfers the goods receipt history information received in the hub to the logistics processing server 40 in a B / L unit via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Thereafter, the hub side is reported to bring in customs.

The logistics processing server 40 recalculates the expected inventory based on the stock replenishment plan information from the supplier side, the shipment information and the receipt performance information from the hub side, and provides the buyer and the supplier with confirmation. In addition, the logistics processing server 40 confirms by sending the receipt performance information input from the hub to the supplier in units of B / L.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation from customs clearance to payment applied to a hub management method by a provider using the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the terminals 10, 20, and 30 of a buyer, a supplier, and a hub, FIG. Although it will be described as uploading information to the logistics server 40 and providing specific information from the logistics server 40 to buyers, suppliers, and hubs, the specifics provided by the site of the logistics server 40 are substantially. The screen (X-Net screen) allows the buyer, supplier and hub to enter and confirm information.

First, a buyer determines the call-off quantity for the necessary materials and provides the determined order quantity information to the hub through the logistics server 40. Here, in the order quantity confirmation, the order number takes the form of a file number, and the MFG (Manufacturing) system forms basic information.

After confirming the obtained order information, the hub side confirms B / L and S / D (Ship of Document) and sends the B / L and S / D to the customs office and customs, requesting an import license. .

The customs office evaluates the tax on the report of B / L and S / D according to the received import license request, and the customs office provides the hub with an import license for it, and the customs office uploads the license information to the buyer.                     

Thereafter, the hub side checks the import license provided by the customs side, and then releases the goods in kind for the order quantity. Then, the hub side uploads the shipment results to the logistics processing server 40.

Accordingly, the logistics processing server 40 transmits the shipment performance information to the buyer and the supplier, so that the buyer and the supplier confirm the received shipment performance information. Then, the buyer side processes the receipt of the imported cotton stamp uploaded by the customs company.

Then, the buyer side checks the unpaid information based on the contents of the processed import slip and the order information, makes a payment, and then uploads the payment information to the logistics processing server 40. Accordingly, the logistics server 40 transmits the payment information to the supplier side. Here, the payment information is formed based on a B / L or an order number (Call-Off No.).

The supplier side checks the payment for the corresponding logistics that provided the report of the received payment information.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, since supplementary schedule information is appropriately determined and input by the supplier based on the information input from the buyer and the hub, the supplier can manage the inventory of the hub. This reduces the inventory burden on buyers.                     

In addition, various information exchanges between buyers, suppliers, and hubs are processed by the logistics server through the Internet, thereby enabling the sharing of various information related to hub operations in real time.
