Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which allows better monitoring of a flow of goods.
- event numbers are determined for each article, which are assigned to the respective transitions or article positions. An event number thus indicates how often the article has passed the corresponding transition or how often it has reached the corresponding article position.
- the checking rule preferably defines maximum permissible number of events for at least some of the transitions and / or item positions.
- the warning is issued if at least one of the event numbers of an article exceeds the corresponding maximum permitted number of events. For example, it can be determined that an article can never reach a certain article position and / or never go through a certain transition. For this purpose, the maximum number of events assigned to it is set to zero. It can also be provided that an article is repeated several times, but the highest e.g. May go through a certain transition 10 times. In this case, the corresponding maximum number of events is set to 10.
- 1 is a schematic representation of a distribution network
- FIG. 2 shows the database entry for a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 shows the database entry for a second
- Fig. 4 shows the database entry for a third embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a possible implementation of a distribution network for a certain type of article.
- the square symbols indicate the possible item positions P1, P2, ..., the arrows some of the possible transitions.
- POS Point of Halls
- the items do not always move linearly from top to bottom.
- the central stores P2, P3, P4 can exchange items with one another and, depending on the agreement, also the sales outlets. It is also conceivable that a sales point can be supplied by different central warehouses. Material flows "upwards" are also possible, e.g. if a point of sale sends an article back to a central warehouse or if an end user returns an article.
- arrows in Fig. 1 show some of the possible transitions between the item positions.
- a computer 1 is provided.
- the latter operates a database 2 in which the data described below are recorded.
- It is also connected to input devices for the individual item positions. These can be bar code readers or manually operated input terminals, for example. With these input devices, the computer 1 is informed when a Item reaches an item position and when he leaves it.
- each article is assigned a unique article number, which can be recorded on the article itself or on a packaging of the article, for example.
- Various embodiments of the method according to the invention are described below.
- an entry is made in the database for each individual article, which records several “event numbers” of the respective article or allows the event numbers to be determined from the data recorded for the article. Each event number describes how often the article is sent to a specific article Item position has arrived or how often the item has gone through a transition between two item positions.
- FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of a corresponding database entry for an article.
- ten counters for event numbers pl, p2, ... plO are provided for each article, which record how often the article has reached the respective article position.
- an entry labeled "Log” is provided, which describes the history of the article in detail as it was recorded at the article positions due to the entries in the input devices.
- the entry stores, among other things, when the article reached which article position and when he left it. In this case, the item has moved from position P1 to P2 and from there to P5. In P5 it was sold twice and returned twice, so the number of events p5 is 2.
- this rule can e.g. have the following form:
- R (pl, ..., plO) fulfilled if pi ⁇ Li applies to all i otherwise not fulfilled
- Ll, L2, L3, ... are the maximum permissible number of events, i.e. Limit values for the event numbers pl to plO.
- the rule R is fulfilled if none of the event numbers pi is greater than the respective maximum permissible number of events Li.
- an article can be closed up to five times to every central warehouse, but only twice to the same point of sale.
- This checking rule would be fulfilled by the example according to FIG. 2 - however, if a sale and a return still take place at the same point of sale, the checking rule is no longer fulfilled.
- a warning is issued.
- the warning can e.g. to the operator of the
- FIG. 3 A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 3.
- 11 x 11 event numbers t__ H are recorded in the database entry.
- this rule can e.g. have the following form:
- R (tj_ j) fulfilled if ti ( j ⁇ Mi ( j, otherwise not fulfilled, applies to all i, j,
- Mj_ ⁇ are maximum allowable event numbers, ie limit values for the 'event numbers tj ⁇ .
- the second version has the advantage that certain distribution channels can be blocked in a simple manner.
- the values Mj ⁇ j for i and j between 5 and 10 can be set to 0, ie a direct transition of items between the sales items is not permitted.
- the values M_ ⁇ (for all i) can also be set to zero, since a corresponding transition gives an indication of an error state.
- the second embodiment also allows transitions in different directions between two positions Pi and Pj to be assigned different maximum admissible event numbers.
- Fig. 4 shows a third embodiment of the invention.
- the item positions P5 to PlO are combined into a single item position.
- a binary list of states is specified for each article instead of the counter, which are numbered 1.1 to 3.6 in the example.
- Each status can be marked with a status flag. If the flag is set, the corresponding state has been assumed. In this case, it cannot be taken again.
- the third embodiment according to FIG. 4 functions similarly to the first embodiment according to FIG. 2 if 2 all sales items are combined into a single item position.
- the third version counts, for example, how often an article arrives at the item position "Point Of Halls".
- the first time condition 3.1 is set, the second time condition 3.3 and the third time condition 3.5.
- the article must not occupy the article position more than three times.
- the database 2 is preferably designed in all versions in such a way that the number of events cannot be reduced, but only increased, i.e. at least for one user group, there is no user interface for a reduction, but only for an increase in the number of events. This can reduce the risk of improper manipulation of the database.
- this can be achieved in that the values pi and t-j ⁇ can only be increased, but not reduced.
- this is achieved in that the status flags can be set, but not reset.
- the event numbers can have different meanings and they can be saved in different ways. It is also possible to combine the different designs of the invention. For example, it is conceivable to record both the event numbers pi from the first example and the event numbers t t -j from the second example and to take them into account in the checking rule.
- the checking rule R can be the same for all articles, or it can be individually adapted to each article or to subgroups of the articles.
- the database entry of each article also contains information on how the checking rule should look like. For example, it can be stipulated for an article that it may not reach certain article positions, while another article (e.g. sold under different conditions or fulfilling other quality criteria) may reach all article positions.
- the device according to the invention for carrying out the method described here comprises e.g. the computer 1, the database 2 and a program for performing the steps described.
