Description

Integrated Supply Chain Management System and Method Thereof

The present invention relates to an integrated supply path management system and a method thereof, and more particularly, using inventory data stored in a common logistics warehouse where the products of each of a plurality of producers are stored and the number thereof is determined according to the regional distribution of the producers. And an integrated supply path management system and method in which electronic commerce between a plurality of producers and a plurality of retail stores is made.

Conventional automatic flower vending devices are disclosed, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,971,273. The automatic flower selling apparatus of the above-described US patent is in the form of a vending machine 20 that is air-conditioned. The vending machine 20 has 18 individual cells 1-18, which contain gifts and flowers. The vending machine 20 is equipped with a computer processor, an electronic circuit and memory, and a telephone line. The control unit 22 has an old keyboard or a touch screen so that customers can input data. Sensor is attached. In the conventional automatic flower vending device, customers can purchase flowers and gifts directly by using a vending machine, and are networked with a remote flower garden to transfer orders entered through the vending machine to a remote flower garden. You can deliver flowers or gifts to other customers.

However, this conventional automatic flower selling device is inconvenient that the customer has to move directly to the place where the flower selling device is installed in order to place an order, and only a network between a consumer and a retailer (flower garden) who directly purchases flowers is possible. There are disadvantages.

On the other hand, in order to connect the producer who produces the flower and the manufacturer who manufactures the subsidiary materials necessary for the sale of the flower with the customer, the end consumer, or the flower seller, the seller must go through a wholesaler or a wholesale dealer. However, via these intermediate merchants, the distribution takes a lot of time and costs, and the burden is on the customer, the flower garden, the flower producer or the subsidiary manufacturer. In addition, the flowers that reach the final consumer will be less fresh as long as the distribution period. Therefore, there is a need for an integrated supply path that directly connects flower gardens, flower producers, and subsidiary manufacturers and systems that manage them.

Such integrated supply paths can be established by using computer networks. As electronic commerce using computer networks emerges, inter-enterprise electronic commerce that enables electronic commerce between companies is gradually being activated. The inter-company Internet e-commerce structure is divided into a seller-oriented marketplace, a buyer-customer-oriented marketplace, and an intermediary-oriented marketplace, depending on who leads the market.

The seller-oriented e-commerce structure is the most common e-commerce structure between sellers in which a seller forms a virtual market, that is, a mall, and a buyer accesses the mall. Seller-driven e-commerce is adopted by most production-driven e-stores, which is basically the same model as enterprise-consumer e-commerce. In the seller-oriented structure, it is difficult to construct a virtual market in which competitive sellers can participate jointly, which limits the buyer's choice and is difficult to apply to an industrial sector in which there is no large market-dominant seller. There is this.

The buyer-oriented e-commerce structure is a form in which a buyer establishes an electronic market on his server and sellers access the mall, where the electronic component suppliers access the mall of the finished product company and participate in bidding. The buyer-oriented structure has the advantage of reducing the cost of searching for and comparing the purchased products for large corporate buyers, but when this type of mall increases, it is difficult for suppliers to visit the buyer's site.

An intermediary-based e-commerce structure is a case where sellers and buyers connect to an intermediary mall to conduct commerce. This intermediary-oriented structure fits into a market structure where no large sellers and / or buyers exist. The transaction process involves gathering the seller's products or products with the buyer's demands and matching the buyer's demands with the seller's products. It is important to be effective in reducing the overall operating costs of the company. Matching buyers' demands and sellers' products in an intermediary-based e-commerce structure creates a virtual market where buyers and consumers can trade directly, providing the buyers with demand information and sellers' product information, There is a method in which a broker forms a virtual market to act on the trade itself. When a buyer and a consumer are inferior in information and a small economic entity, the broker acts on the trade itself.

Also, if the products traded in the virtual market are natural to different regions of production, different to different producers, and the producers' geographic distribution is wide, that is, if individual producers are scattered in different regions, each producer will not be burdened with inventory. A common logistics warehouse is needed. Such a joint logistics warehouse needs to allow e-commerce to be carried out around the joint logistics warehouse when a retail store that handles all the products sells the products in a small amount.

To date, in the flower industry, the primary producers, such as seed and bulb producers, are connected to the secondary producers, such as the flower producers, by computer networks, the subsidiary manufacturers and producers, and the producers are connected to the flower shop, the final retailer. There was no integrated model that connects the garden to the consumer.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a system and method for integrating and optimizing the entire supply path of a product from the first producer to the end consumer.

Another object of the present invention is to improve the distribution structure between flower producers and flower gardens or consumers to reduce the shelf life and distribution margin and to supply fresh flowers.

Still another object of the present invention is to reduce the inventory burden of flower producers by making transactions through flower joint logistics warehouse, and to supply flowers with optimal freshness by direct shipment of producers per day.

Still another object of the present invention is to enable lossless information transmission, standardization of information, standardization of products, and standardization of packaging, and to enable quick and easy transactions and minimal product loss.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide producers and retailers with integrated information across the supply path to achieve predictable production and sales, and to enable producers to manage risks and to ensure stable production according to price fluctuations.

The integrated supply management method according to the present invention is a method of managing a whole supply path of a product from a plurality of producers to a plurality of retailers and a plurality of consumers, wherein the products of each of the producers are stored in a common warehouse, and the common logistics Building inventory data of the warehouse, accepting a purchase order from a retail store, estimating the available capacity of the retail store's purchase order based on the inventory data, and delivering the goods corresponding to the purchase order. Instructing and determining a delivery route.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the Example of this invention is described with reference to drawings.

Example

Figure 2 shows the overall structure of a Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) system according to the present invention. The system integrates the entire supply path from production, consumption of primary products, secondary products and products to purchase orders, packaging, delivery and distribution. Planning engines integrate information and data from the entire supply path from primary production to final purchase, allowing each trading partner to anticipate trade-related demand. For example, by predicting the price or demand of a product, producers can manage the risks associated with price fluctuations of the product and enable stable production. In addition, demand and supply can be balanced and sustained supply and demand can be maintained.

Information and data from supply channels (e.g. customer information, seasonal purchase information, producer information, product price information, auction information, logistics information, etc.) and additional data (e.g., international flower market information, weather information, etc.) Stored in a data warehouse (120), the data being stored in a so-called, business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce data linking producer-manufacturer-retail stores and enterprise-consumers The B2C database server 140 manages and manages business to customer (B2C) e-commerce data. The B2B database server 130 and the B2C database server 140 may be one server or may be separate servers.

The database servers 130 and 140 are interworked with the B2B web server 150 and the B2C web server 160, and each web server 150 and 160 is a user using the world wide web technology of the Internet. Provide information to The World Wide Web (or Web) is a technology that makes it easy for users to find information by connecting information on the Internet through a method called hypermedia. Information provided by the server is reconstructed by a browser (eg, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer) installed on the client (i.e. user) side. The web operates in the form of a fully distributed server / client model, and can provide information in various forms such as graphics, audio, and video using the client's multimedia environment. Web servers 150 and 160 provide such Web services, for example Internet Information Server (IIS) supported by Windows NT Server.

The B2B web server 150 provides information to users such as primary producers, secondary producers, subsidiary materials manufacturers, retail stores, and the B2C web server 160 provides information to users such as retail stores and consumers.

The e-commerce payment in the GSCM system according to the present invention is made through the payment server 180. The data exchange server 170 is for exchanging information or data stored in the internal data, that is, the data warehouse 120, with an external network such as the Internet and the financial network 190.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the overall structure of the integrated supply path management system according to the present invention around the flow of information and products. The central controller 10 provides a channel through which orders, delivery of goods within the GSCM system 100, storage of products and articles of manufacture, delivery, purchase requests, payments, etc. occur, for example, the B2B web server 150 and the B2C web server. The channel is implemented through the web service by 160.

6 shows the overall process of the integrated supply path management method according to the present invention centered on the flow of information and goods. The overall process shown in FIG. 6 includes the B2C order process 410, the B2C delivery and payment process 420, the B2B order process 440, the B2B delivery and inventory management process 450, and the B2B purchase process 47, depending on the transaction entity. Divided into.

In the B2C ordering process 410, when an order of the consumer 412 is received (414), an order confirmation (415) is performed and a flower garden is selected (416) to deliver the ordered product. The order confirmation 415 includes payment completion information for the order consumer 412 for the flower garden. When the delivery garden is selected, a purchase order PO is issued (418).

The B2C delivery and payment process 420 begins with creating a sales order sales order (SO) for the issued purchase order (420). A product that meets the order, i.e., a selected product among standardized product types is manufactured (424) and the product is delivered (426). When the delivery of the goods is completed (428) confirm the delivery (430) and the central controller pays for the flower garden (432) and sends (434). The flower garden confirms the payment of the remittance paid (436).

The B2B order process 440 begins with step 442 where the gardener creates a purchase order PO. A sales order SO is generated for the generated purchase order PO (445) and confirmed (446), and then the amount of sellable goods, that is, the available capacity is calculated (448). Verification of the sales order SO includes the creditor's credit check, ability to pay, and limit approval. An order of delivery of the ordered goods within the available capacity is issued (449).

The B2B delivery and inventory management process 450 determines the delivery route by merging the delivery instruction in the cold joint logistics warehouse for the delivery instruction. The delivery is notified 455 of the vehicle for which the delivery route is determined, and the ordered goods are loaded (454) and released (456). The delivery route determination and dispatch notification include data on which delivery vehicle will deliver to the garden by which route and how much of the goods. When the delivery is completed (458), a bill is made (460) and the payment is made in the flower garden (462). Billing and billing can be done on a regular basis at regular intervals, and can be integrated with automation when using a purchase card that is commonly used in the integrated supply path management system according to the present invention.

The B2B purchasing process 470 begins with step 476 where the product is shipped according to a shipment plan 472 created by a producer, such as a flower cultivator. The farmer's shipping plan 472 is determined in conjunction with the purchase plan 474.

The product shipped from the farm is packaged in a packing box of a standardized standard by the standardization program according to the present invention and received in a low temperature joint logistics warehouse (478). For the received goods, a purchase order PO is generated periodically at regular intervals (480), and the purchase order PO is generated for payment settlement between the farm and the central controller. When the payment for the purchase order PO is made (482) and the remittance is made (484), the farmer checks the deposit (486).

In the present invention, the price of the product for the purchase order issued by the retail store may be determined as follows. First, when a contract is signed with a producer (farm) who receives products in a common warehouse, for example, the contract price is calculated based on the quarterly average product price of the previous year by dividing the year into four quarters. The commodity price is determined by multiplying the average price by a certain percentage of the profit rate. Such prices can be adjusted quarterly, for example.

On the other hand, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the price of the product for the purchase order generated in the retail store may be determined at the time when the product is shipped from the joint logistics warehouse. In this case, the base price is calculated by averaging the price of the flower market provided daily, and the commodity price is determined by multiplying the base price by a certain rate of profit.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a price of a product for a purchase order generated at a retail store may be determined through an auction process. The auction process may be executed as described below with reference to FIG. 8.

The unified packaging box used in the standardization program according to the present invention has a fixed shape and size, and is used when the product is shipped from a producer farm. The size of the packaging box is determined to accommodate the amount of flowers that meet the retailer's order quantity. By using such a standardized packing box, it is not necessary to repackage the goods in the common distribution warehouse, so that the flowers of the farmhouse can be delivered directly to the retail store by simply unloading the packing box. Therefore, the freshness of the flowers can be maintained, the damage of the products that can occur when packaging the product can be reduced, and the delivery time can be reduced, so that the period of maintaining the inventory in the joint logistics warehouse increases.

7 is a flowchart illustrating an order processing process of a consumer in the integrated supply path management method according to the present invention. When the consumer connects to the central controller of the GSCM system, i.e., the server (410), it is determined whether or not it is a member (420), and if it is not a member, the membership registration process is performed in step 425. Member information entered in the membership registration process is stored in the member information database 427. If the member is a member login (430).

The consumer orders the product using an order page served through the consumer website (440). The order of a product includes the steps of viewing a standardized product item, selecting a desired product from the product item, viewing information of the product, selecting an additional product order, and executing an order of the selected product. It may consist of steps. A standardized product item may be, for example, a product with a love love, a product code of rose44ssL, and a classification code of Standard / DIY / Sourcing, for example, the address is Kevlar, small country, rose, carnation, tulip, and the sub-material. Pussy, olive leaf, material can be bamboo basket and silk ribbon. The size is 35cm * 50cm.

To order an item, use the database 443, which consists of fields such as member name, member ID, product name, product code, and sales price, and the user's order is assigned to the recipient, destination address and postal code, order date and time, and delivery. It is stored in a database 437 composed of fields such as date, time, contact, message, and the like. After the user inputs the order contents, the user inputs payment information (450) and receives an order code from the server (460).

The order information of the user whose order code is issued is stored in the customer database 465 which is composed of fields such as member information, purchase information, additional information, and mileage. In this case, the additional information may include birthday or anniversary data of the user. Mileage is an additional point that is awarded to electronic seed (E-seed), giveaways, cyber flowers, etc. by giving points to the user according to the purchase price, the number of times. User-related data of the user is stored in the order database (470).

If the flower shop that received the order is determined to be the same as the flower shop to deliver the order (475), if it is the same, the delivery is made (490), and if it is not the same, the user's order data is determined by the delivery retailer's selection process for the consumer order (482). ), The order takeover procedure 480 is performed.
