The quantity management apparatus 500 of the stock goods which concerns on this invention is a device which manages the stock quantity of the stock goods stored in a warehouse, and maintains the stock quantity of a stock goods more than appropriate quantity.

In the present invention, the inventory item is a fixture stored in the warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n), if necessary is taken out of the warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n) and paid to the required person. In the warehouses 10_1 to 10_n, various types of inventory items are stored in large quantities, and each inventory item may be released (exported) or received (imported) from the warehouse on a regular or irregular basis as necessary. On the other hand, the export / import of inventory items stored in the warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n) is strictly managed by the manager who manages the warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n), the unauthorized person inventory items stored in the warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n) Can not be taken out or brought in from the warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n). In addition, when bringing inventory items into or out of the warehouse, the manager who manages the warehouses 10_1 to 10_n must also scan the inventory items with the scanners 300_1 to 300_n to be described later.

In order for inventory quantities of inventory items to be properly managed, the type of inventory items and their quantity (including the quantity of goods received and the quantity of goods shipped) must be accurately checked when the goods are received or released from the warehouse.

For this purpose, the inventory item has identification information including information on the name of the item, the unique number of the item and the quantity. The item name is information for distinguishing a kind of inventory goods having various kinds and may be the name of the inventory goods. The unique number may be a unique serial number assigned to each article as information for identifying each article. In order to accurately manage the inventory items, the identification information may further include information on at least one of the specification, unit, and expiration date (or expiration date) in addition to the information. On the other hand, since the same kind of inventory items or different kinds of inventory items may be packaged in one box, the identification information may include information on the quantity of the goods for each inventory item contained in the box. Can be.

The identification information is information recognized by the scanners 300_1 to 300_n and may be implemented in a bar code form or a radio frequency identifier (RF ID) form.

When implemented in the form of a bar code, the identification information implemented as a bar code may be printed on the package of the stock or inventory items, or may be printed on a sticker attached to the packaging of the inventory or inventory items. Various barcodes may be used as a barcode, such as a general one-dimensional linear barcode, a two-dimensional stacked barcode, and a matrix data matrix.

When implemented in the form of an RF ID, the identification information is contained in the RF ID, the RF ID may be attached to the inventory of goods or packaging of inventory items.

The identification information is recognized by the scanners 300_1 to 300_n. When all inventory items are shipped or received, the identification information of all inventory items entering and leaving the warehouse is recognized by the scanners 300_1 to 300_n, so that the item names, unique numbers, and the number of entrances and exits of all inventory items entering and leaving the warehouse are determined. For example, the inventory quantity of all inventory items stored in the warehouse can be identified in real time.

As in the apparatus for managing the quantity of inventory items according to the present invention, keeping the inventory quantity of inventory items in excess of the appropriate quantity can be used in various industries. For example, a company may maintain inventory of various supplies used in each department, or may use various reagents or hospital supplies (e.g. syringes, beds, bandages, beds, etc.) used in each department of the hospital for patients in the hospital. It can be used to manage the inventory quantity of sheets, etc.) or to manage the inventory quantity of goods distributed at each branch or each sales corner in a large distributor.

Referring to FIG. 1, the quantity management apparatus 500 of inventory goods according to the present invention is based on an access quantity terminal 200_1 to 200_n that checks the quantity of access to inventory items stored in a warehouse, and the quantity of access to inventory items. And a management server 100 that manages the inventory quantity of the inventory item and maintains the inventory quantity of the inventory item in excess of the appropriate quantity, and further receives an order receiving terminal 400 for receiving an order for the inventory item less than the appropriate quantity It may further include.

The access amount terminals 200_1 to 200_n recognize the identification information of the stock items to determine the access quantity of the inventory items. For this purpose, each access amount terminal 200_1 to 200_n recognizes the identification information of the scanner ( 300_1 to 300_n). Entry and exit terminals 200_1 to 200_n recognize the identification information of all the stock items in and out of each warehouse 10_1 to 10_n by the scanners 300_1 to 300_n, and the item names, unique numbers, and access of the stock items in and out of the warehouse. It generates the goods receipt information including the information on the quantity, and sends the generated goods receipt information to the management server (100). Since each of the entrance and exit terminals 200_1 to 200_n has a unique device number, the entry and exit information may include the device numbers of the entrance and exit terminals 200_1 to 200_n. The management server 100 may distinguish each entry and exit information transmitted from each access terminal 200_1 to 200_n as a device number included in the entry and exit information.

The management server 100 includes an inventory database (database, DB) in which various kinds of information on all inventory items stored in each warehouse (10_1 to 10_n) are databased, and from each access terminal (200_1 to 200_n) The inventory database is updated using the received goods receipt information. The management server 100 may manage the inventory quantity for each warehouse 10_1 to 10_n for all inventory items by updating the inventory database using the warehouse information.

The inventory database not only stores the information on the quantity of inventory by each warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n) for the item names of all inventory items, but also the unique number, specification, unit, and date of receipt of the inventory items by item name of each inventory item. And information on the expiration date.

In addition, the inventory database stores information on the appropriate quantity for each inventory item stored in each warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n). Here, the appropriate quantity means a certain quantity of inventory items to be stored in the warehouse. When the inventory quantity of the inventory item is less than the appropriate quantity, the management server 100 is as much as the order quantity corresponding to the difference between the current inventory quantity and the appropriate quantity so that the inventory quantity exceeds the appropriate quantity for the inventory article less than the adequate quantity Create ordering information to order. The generated order information is transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400 which is installed on the supplier side supplying the stock items. On the other hand, such order information is preferably generated at the end of the day's work is transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400.

On the other hand, the inventory database may further store information on the quantity of risk as well as information on the appropriate quantity for each inventory stored in each warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n). Here, the quantity of risk means the minimum quantity of inventory items to be stored in the warehouse, it is determined to be less than the appropriate quantity. If the inventory quantity of the inventory item is less than the risk quantity, the management server 100 is as much as the order quantity corresponding to the difference between the current inventory quantity and the appropriate quantity so that the inventory quantity exceeds the appropriate quantity for the inventory article less than the risk quantity Create risk order information to order. Meanwhile, the risk order information may be immediately transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400 installed at the supplier supplying the stock item at the moment the order information is generated.

The appropriate quantity and the dangerous quantity may be variously determined according to the kind, characteristics, usage characteristics, management method, and industrial characteristics of the inventory items, and may be determined differently for each warehouse 10_1 to 10_n.

The order receiving terminal 400 receives order information or dangerous order information from the management server 100. When the order information or risk order information is received at the order receiving terminal 400, the person in charge of the supplier on which the order receiving terminal 400 is installed, identifies which inventory is lacking in which warehouse with order information or risk order information, By supplying the order quantity corresponding to the difference between the current inventory quantity and the appropriate quantity for the inventory goods to the warehouse so that the appropriate amount of inventory goods in each warehouse (10_1 ~ 10_n) is always stored. In FIG. 1, only one order receiving terminal 400 is illustrated, but may be installed at each supplier side when there are a plurality of suppliers supplying inventory items.

When the order information is received, the supplier on the side where the order receiving terminal 400 is installed supplies the corresponding stock goods to a warehouse having insufficient stock goods on the next day of receiving the order information. On the other hand, if the dangerous order information is received, the supplier on the side where the order receiving terminal 400 is installed immediately supply the corresponding stock goods to the warehouse having the scarce inventory goods.

Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given of a quantity management apparatus for stock items, and redundant description thereof will be omitted.

2 is a diagram illustrating a quantity management apparatus of stock items in detail.

Referring to FIG. 2, the quantity management apparatus 500 of the inventory item according to the present invention includes an access amount terminal 200 and a management server 100, and further includes an order receiving terminal 400. Can be.

In FIG. 2, unlike FIG. 1, only one access terminal 200 is illustrated for convenience of description, but as described in FIG. 1, when there are a plurality of warehouses, the access terminal 200 is installed in each warehouse.

The access amount terminal 200 is a kind of computer device installed in a warehouse and operated by a warehouse manager who manages the warehouse. The access terminal 200 recognizes the identification information of the inventory item received and received from the warehouse, and identifies the item name, unique number, and access of the inventory item received and received. It generates the goods receipt information including the information on the quantity, and sends the generated goods receipt information to the management server (100). For this purpose, the entrance and exit terminal 200 may include a warehouse information generation unit 210 and a scanner 300, and may further include an output unit 240.

The warehouse manager operates the access terminal 200 to select whether the goods are to be received or unloaded when the goods are to be put into the warehouse or the goods are to be released from the warehouse. Scan the identification information of the inventory item to be entered and received through the included scanner 300.

The goods receipt information generation unit 210 is selected by the manager who manages the warehouse whether the goods received or unloaded goods, and the item name, unique number, goods receipt of the goods received and received on the basis of the identification information recognized by the scanner 300 Creates goods receipt and receipt information including information on availability and quantity of goods. The goods receipt information generation unit 210 includes a goods issue request unit 220 and a goods receipt request unit 230.

The issue request unit 220 includes a priority issue input unit 221 and a issue information generation unit 222. The warehouse request unit 220 receives a warehouse request by the warehouse manager, receives the warehouse request, and receives identification information of the inventory item from the scanner 300. The shipment information generation unit 222 generates the shipment information including information on the goods name, the unique number, and the shipment quantity of the stock goods that are released based on the identification information of the stock goods provided from the scanner 300. The generated shipping information is transmitted to the management server 100.

Meanwhile, the priority factory input unit 221 receives the priority factory request and priority factory information by the warehouse manager and transmits the received priority factory request and priority factory information to the management server 100. The priority shipment request is a signal for requesting the management server 100 to generate a priority shipment list, and the priority shipment information includes information on the item name of the inventory item for which the priority shipment list is to be extracted. The priority factory input unit 221 generates a priority factory request when the priority is input by the warehouse manager, and generates the priority factory information when the item name desired to be preferentially released by the warehouse manager is input.

Although it will be described later, when the priority issue request and the priority issue information are transmitted to the management server 100, the priority issue list unit 135 of the management server 100 generates a priority issue list to be issued preferentially according to the priority issue information. The first priority list is transmitted to the access amount terminal 200.

Priority listing is information on a list of inventory items to be prioritized according to the priority shipment information, and is the information sorted in ascending order of receipt of inventory goods to be released according to the priority shipment information. Since the inventory items received in the warehouse may have different receipt dates, the priority list may be used to issue the inventory items received first.

On the other hand, in the case of managing the inventory items for which the expiration date is determined, the priority release list may be information in which the inventory items to be shipped are arranged in order of the end date of the expiration date. For example, when managing a reagent as a stock item in a hospital, each reagent has an expiration date. In this case, the priority issue list unit 135 of the management server 100 may generate the priority issue list by sorting the inventory items to be released according to the priority issue information in order of the end date of the expiration date.

The priority list generated by the priority list unit 135 is transmitted to the access level terminal 200, and the output unit 240 of the access level terminal 200 outputs the priority list. The warehouse manager may preferentially release inventory items that are about to expire, by referring to the priority list.

The receipt request unit 230 includes a receipt information generation unit 231. The receipt request unit 220 receives a receipt request by the warehouse manager, receives the receipt request, and receives identification information of the stock item from the scanner 300. The goods receipt information generating unit 231 generates goods receipt information including information on the goods name, a unique number, and the quantity of goods received on the basis of the goods identification information of the goods received from the scanner 300. The received goods receipt information is transmitted to the management server 100.

After all, the goods receipt information is the information including the goods receipt information and the goods release information, and includes information on whether the goods in and out of the goods (whether it is goods or not), the name of the goods, the unique number, and the quantity of the goods in and out of the warehouse. . On the other hand, when there are a plurality of access amount terminal 200, in order to distinguish each entry and exit information transmitted from each entry terminal, the entry and exit information may further include information about the device number of the entry and exit terminal 200. .

The scanner 300 recognizes identification information of all inventory items received and received from the warehouse, and provides the recognized identification information to the shipment request unit 220 and / or the receipt request unit 230. Whether or not the goods are in and out of the warehouse is determined by whether the warehouse manager who operates the access terminal 200 has made a warehouse request or a warehouse request.

The output unit 240 outputs the progress of the release request or the receipt request and the result when the release request or the receipt request is input.

The management server 100 is a device for managing the inventory quantity of each inventory item stored in the warehouse based on the incoming and outgoing information transmitted from the access terminal 100, and maintains the inventory quantity of the inventory item exceeds the appropriate quantity. The management server 100 may be connected to the plurality of access terminal 200 and the communication network, it is possible to manage the inventory quantity of the stock items stored in the plurality of warehouses for each warehouse.

Referring to FIG. 2, the management server 100 includes an input and output information reception unit 120, an inventory management unit 130, an inventory database 160, an inventory confirmation unit 140, and an order unit 150.

Entry and exit information receiving unit 110 receives the entry and exit information from the entry and exit terminal 200, and transfers the received entry and exit information to the inventory management unit 130.

The goods receipt information includes information on whether the goods are in and out of stock goods, the goods name of goods in stock and goods, the unique number and the quantity of access. The inventory management unit 130 updates the inventory information of the inventory database 160 using the goods receipt information. As a result, the stock quantity of each stock stored in the warehouse is determined.

As described above, when there are a plurality of entry and exit terminals 200, the entry and exit information includes information on the device number of the entry and exit terminal 200. In this case, the inventory database 160 stores inventory information, which is information on the quantity of stock of each inventory item, for each warehouse in which the access terminal is installed, and the inventory management unit 130 stores the device number of the access device 200. Use it to determine the quantity of inventory for each inventory item stored in the warehouse.

Meanwhile, the inventory management unit 130 includes a priority issuer list unit 135 that generates a priority issue list in response to the priority issue request and the priority issue information of the access amount terminal 200. Upon receiving the priority issue request, the priority issue inventory unit 135 retrieves the data in the inventory database 160 based on the item name of the inventory item included in the priority issue information, so that the goods received will be released in the order of early delivery date. Or create a priority list of items in stock that are to be shipped in ascending order of expiration date. The priority list generated is transmitted to the entrance and exit terminal 200 and output through the output unit 240.

The inventory database 160 includes inventory information in which the inventory quantity of each inventory item stored in the warehouse is databased by the item name of the inventory item. As described above, when there are a plurality of warehouses, the stock quantity of each stock item for each warehouse may be stored as a database. On the other hand, the inventory database is not only inventory information, which is information on the stock quantity of each inventory item stored in the warehouse, but also characteristic information of each inventory item, for example, the item name, identification number, specification, unit, receipt date, and expiration date of each inventory item. Information about at least one of the data may also be stored.

In addition, the inventory database 160 stores information on the appropriate quantity and risk quantity of inventory items for each item name of the inventory items. When there are a plurality of warehouses, the inventory database 160 may store information on the appropriate quantity and risk quantity for each item name for each warehouse. The proper quantity and the dangerous quantity for each item name may be determined in various ways according to the type, characteristics, usage characteristics, management methods, and industrial characteristics of the inventory items, and may be determined differently for each warehouse 10_1 to 10_n.

The ordering unit 140 compares the current inventory quantity and the appropriate quantity of each inventory item, and if the inventory quantity is less than the appropriate quantity, the deficiency (the difference between the inventory quantity and the appropriate quantity) for the inventory product which is less than the appropriate quantity Generate order information to supply the stock items corresponding to the order quantity. The generated order information is transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400 which is installed on the supplier side supplying the corresponding stock goods (stock goods with a quantity less than the appropriate quantity). Such order information is preferably generated at the end of the day's work is transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400.

Immediately, the ordering unit 145 compares the current inventory quantity and the appropriate quantity of each inventory item, and if the inventory quantity of the inventory item is less than the dangerous quantity, the inventory quantity exceeds the appropriate quantity for the inventory item which is less than the dangerous quantity quantity. Creates risk order information for supplying inventory items corresponding to the shortage (the difference between the stock quantity and the appropriate quantity). When such dangerous order information is generated, it is preferable that the dangerous order information is immediately transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400 installed at the supplier side supplying the corresponding inventory item (the inventory item whose quantity is less than the dangerous quantity).

The order receiving terminal 400 includes an order receiving unit 400 that receives order information or dangerous order information from the management server 100. The supplier supplies an insufficient quantity to each warehouse by supplying an order quantity corresponding to a difference between the current inventory quantity and the appropriate quantity, by referring to the order information or the dangerous order information received by the order receiving unit 400. Ensure the quantity of inventory is stocked.

Hereinafter, a description will be given of the quantity management method of the inventory items according to the present invention. Since the quantity management method of the inventory item according to the present invention performs essentially the same function as the quantity management apparatus of the inventory item according to the present invention, redundant description will be omitted.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for managing a quantity of stock items according to the present invention.

The access amount terminal 200 receives an input or output of stock goods from the manager of the warehouse. If the warehouse manager inputs the release request for the inventory, the process proceeds to step S10. If the warehouse administrator inputs the request for the receipt of the inventory, the process proceeds to step S100.

First, describe the case where the goods issue request for stock items has been entered.

When the release request for the inventory item is input (S10), the scanner 300 of the access terminal 200 scans and recognizes identification information of the released inventory item (S20).

The entrance and exit terminal 200 generates the delivery information of the inventory item to be released from the identification information of the inventory item to be released (S30), and transmits the generated release information to the management server 100.

The management server 100 receives the release information (S40), and updates the inventory information of the inventory database according to the release information (S50).

The management server 100 compares the updated inventory information with the appropriate quantity, and generates order information for the shortage of the inventory goods when the inventory quantity is less than the appropriate quantity (S70). The generated order information is transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400, such order information is preferably transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400 at the end of the day's work.

If the inventory quantity exceeds the appropriate quantity, the management server 100 generates a shipment request completion message indicating that the processing for the shipment request transmitted by the access quantity terminal 200 is completed and transmits it to the access quantity terminal 200. (S80).

The entrance and exit terminal 200 receives the shipment request completion message and outputs it to the screen (S90).

On the other hand, if a request for receipt of stock items by the warehouse manager is input (S10), the scanner 300 of the access amount terminal 200 scans the identification information of the stock items received (S100).

The entrance and exit terminal 200 generates receipt information of the stock item received from the identification information of the stock item received (S110), and transmits the generated receipt information to the management server 100.

The management server 100 receives the goods receipt information (S120), and updates the inventory information of the inventory database according to the received goods receipt information (S130).

Then, the management server 100 generates a receipt request completion message that the processing for the receipt request transmitted by the access amount terminal 200 is completed and transmits it to the access amount terminal 200 (S140).

The entrance and exit terminal 200 receives a receipt request completion message and outputs it to the screen (S150).

4 is a flowchart for explaining a step of generating a priority list.

The step of generating a priority list may be performed at any stage in the flowchart of FIG. 3, but is generally preferably performed before the warehouse manager inputs the issue request.

First of all, if you want to see a list of priorities for a particular inventory, the warehouse manager inputs a priority order request through the access terminal 200 (S200).

After inputting the priority shipment request, the warehouse manager inputs priority shipment information including information on the item name of a specific stock item which the user wants to issue preferentially through the access terminal 200 (S210).

The entrance and exit terminal 200 transmits a priority issue request and priority issue information to the management server 100 (S220).

The management server 100 receives the priority issue request and priority issue information, and the management server 100 searches the inventory database to check the receipt date of the inventory items according to the priority issue information (S230), and the inventory items to be shipped. A priority issue list is created in which the receipt date is sorted in quick order (S240). On the other hand, the priority issue list may be sorted in ascending order of the end date of the validity period based on the end date of the validity period. The priority list generated is transmitted to the access level terminal 200.

The access amount terminal 200 outputs the received priority list on the screen (S250). The warehouse manager may preferentially release the inventory items first received in the warehouse among the inventory items by referring to the priority list.

5 is a flowchart illustrating S60 in detail.

In the present invention, step S60 may further include generating risk order information by comparing the inventory quantity and the risk quantity when the inventory quantity is less than the appropriate quantity.

To this end, the management server 100 checks whether the inventory quantity reaches a risk quantity smaller than the appropriate quantity, and if the inventory quantity reaches the risk quantity, the risk for the corresponding inventory item (the inventory quantity whose inventory quantity is less than the quantity of risk) Generate order information (S71). The generated dangerous order information is immediately transmitted to the order receiving terminal 400.

The method of the present invention can also be embodied as computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission via the Internet) . The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present invention should be construed in accordance with the following claims, and all technical ideas within the scope of equivalents and equivalents thereof should be construed as being covered by the scope of the present invention.
