Therefore, provision can be made even if orders from a customer are temporarily concentrated.

[0011] 3) In the merchandise inventory management apparatus according to the present invention, the customer limited reservation is reserved for a plurality of customers. The order reserve means also stores the reserve for the group, and if the customer-reserved reserve is less than the number of orders for the customer who placed the order, the order specifying means further allocates the reserve for the group. . Therefore, belonging to the group For customers who have a certain amount of inventory, the group can be secured and the inventory can be allocated. As a result, it is possible to secure more fluidity as compared with the case where only the customer unit is secured.

[0012] 4) The merchandise inventory management device according to the present invention includes: 1) an inventory merchandise table for storing merchandise and the number of stocks of the merchandise for each merchandise, and securing a certain merchandise for a specific customer; If there is a minute, an inventory product table that stores the number of reservations for a specific customer and the reservation period for each customer ID.2) When a customer gives a customer, product ID, and the number of orders, the inventory A means for referring to the product table, using the customer ID as a key, and determining whether or not there is a portion reserved for a specific customer for a customer other than the customer.3) Based on the customer ID, the inventory product table. With reference to the above, the allocation for each specific customer is prohibited by allocation prohibition means that prohibits even if there is a request for allocation from a customer other than the customer, 4) The allocation for the allocation for specific customer Period passed Is provided with a releasing means for releasing this. Therefore, with respect to the above-mentioned reservation for specific customers, even if there is a request for allocation of customer power other than that customer, this is prohibited. As a result, the merchandise provider can determine which merchandise should be distributed to which customers and to what extent. After the elapse of the securing period, the releasing means releases the customer securing portion. Therefore, it is possible to secure and prevent the product from being wasted.

[0013] 5) The merchandise inventory management device according to the present invention includes: 1) a stock merchandise table for storing merchandise and the total stock quantity of the merchandise for each merchandise, and securing a certain merchandise for a specific customer; If there is a minute, an inventory product table that stores the number of reservations for a specific customer and the reservation period for each customer ID.2) When a customer gives a customer ID, product ID, and the number of orders, the inventory Judgment means for referring to the product table and using the customer ID as a key to determine whether or not there is a reserve for a specific customer for a customer other than that customer.3) Refer to the inventory product table based on the customer ID. In addition, having a reserve for each specific customer, the customer is allowed to reserve only the component that is obtained by subtracting all reserves for the specific customer from the total inventory. Means, 4) The guest for securing content, after the secure period comprises a releasing means for releasing this. Therefore, for customers who do not have the specific customer Will allow the allocation of only the total inventory capacity and the component capacity that is obtained by deducting all the reserves for specific customers.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

1. Description of Functional Block Diagram

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The inventory management device 1 includes an inventory product storage unit 3, a sorting information storage unit 5, an order specifying unit 7, a change unit 9, and a release unit 11.

[0021] The stock product storage means 3 stores a product ID and a stock quantity for each product. The classification information storage means 5 is the classification information for distinguishing between the customer-limited reservation and the customer-unreserved reservation for limiting the customer with respect to the products stored in the inventory commodity storage means 3. Stores, for each customer ID, classification information having the number of reservations and the reservation period. When given a customer, a product ID, and the number of orders from a certain customer, the order specifying means 7 refers to the sorting information storage means 5 and uses the customer ID as a key to determine the reserved amount for the specific customer for the customer. Judgment is made as to whether or not the customer has an order.If there is a customer-limited reservation for the customer who placed the order, the customer reserve is used.If there is no customer-reserved reservation for the customer who placed the order, the customer is excluded. The limited reservation is allocated and stored as the customer's order. The change means 9 changes the customer-reserved secured number or the customer-unreserved secured quantity of the classification information storage means 5 by the allocated amount. The release means 11 determines whether or not the reservation period has elapsed, and after the period has elapsed, releases the customer reservation portion.

[0022] Therefore, if there is a customer-limited reservation, an order can be made from the reservation. As a result, the merchandise provider can determine which merchandise should be distributed to which customers and to what extent. After the elapse of the period, the release means releases the customer reservation. Therefore, it is possible to secure and prevent the product from being wasted.

[0023] 2. Hardware configuration The hardware configuration of the inventory management device 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an example of a hardware configuration in which the inventory management device 1 is configured using a CPU.

The inventory management device 1 includes a CPU 23, a memory 27, a hard disk 26, a monitor 30, a CDD (CD-ROM drive) 25, an input device 28, a communication unit 32, and a bus line 29. The CPU 23 controls each unit via the bus line 29 according to each program stored in the hard disk 26.

[0025] The hard disk 26 stores an operating system program (hereinafter abbreviated as OS) 26o, an inventory management program 26a, an inventory table 26z, a group table 26g, and a frame table 26w.

[0026] In the present embodiment, the operating system program (OS) 26ο

(Trademark) was adopted.

As shown in FIG. 3, the stock table 26z stores a product number and an actual stock quantity. In addition, the table manages the planned number of warehouses, the number of planned warehouses, and the number of remaining slots from the present to March ahead. For example, the product with the part number S1 currently has 100 units in stock. In addition, 7 Z1 has a planned number of storages of 20, a planned number of storages of 10, and 40 remaining slots. The number of unrestricted stocks (free slots) is represented by (actual stocks + scheduled stocks-scheduled stocks-remaining inventory). In this case, on July 1, the free slot of the product number S1 is 100 + 20-10-40, which is 70.

[0028] The group table 26g, as shown in Fig. 4, is a table indicating which customer belongs to a higher-ranked commercial distribution company and which higher-ranked sales channel. is there.

[0029] In the frame table 26w, as shown in Fig. 5, the types of frames are divided into a customer frame, a commercial distribution frame, and a sales route frame. The customer quota is stored for each customer on a limited date only for a certain customer. For example, in this case, the customer W1 secures a predetermined number of products of the product number S1 from 7Z1 to 8Z31. In this case, customer W1 has secured 50 products of product number S1 in 7Z1, and has allocated 2 out of 3 products in 7Z3. Also, 10 pieces are secured in 7Z5, and 2 pieces are allocated to 7Z5. Similarly, the business flow frame is stored for each business flow on a limited date only for securing a customer belonging to a certain business flow. Similarly, the sales route frame is a date for securing sales exclusively for customers belonging to a certain sales route. I remember it in a limited way. As will be described later, after the application period has elapsed, the frame information is deleted from the frame table. The inventory management program 26a will be described later.

The above program is read from the CD-ROM 25 a in which the program is stored via the CDD 25 and installed on the hard disk 26. In addition to the CD-ROM, a program such as a flexible disk (FD) or an IC card may be installed on a hard disk from a computer-readable recording medium. In addition, you may download using a communication line.

In the present embodiment, by installing the program from the CD-ROM to the hard disk 26, the computer indirectly executes the program stored in the CD-ROM. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the program stored in the CD-ROM may be directly executed from the CDD 25. Computer-executable programs include those that can be directly executed by simply installing them, as well as those that need to be converted into other forms (for example, those that have been compressed). , Decompress, etc.), and also include those executable in combination with other module parts.

[0032] 3. Flowchart

Next, the inventory management processing by the inventory management program 26a will be described with reference to FIGS. The following describes a case where 30 orders were received from customer W1 for product S1 in 7Z7. It is also assumed that free inventory can be reserved for customers with a quota.

[0033] The CPU 23 determines whether or not there is an order (step S1 in FIG. 6). When the order is received, the CPU 23 recognizes the product of the order (step S3). In this case, the product S1 is recognized. The CPU 23 performs an allocation frame determination process (step S5). The allocation frame determination process will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the CPU 23 refers to the frame table (see FIG. 5) to determine whether or not a customer frame exists for the customer who has placed the order (step S21). In this case, there is a customer slot for customer wl in the slot table. Therefore, the frame is set as the first candidate frame having the highest priority (step S23). Next, referring to the frame table (see FIG. 5), the CPU 23 determines whether or not there is a commercial distribution frame for the customer who has placed the order (step S25). In this case, there is a commercial distribution frame for the customer wl in the frame table. Therefore, the frame is set as a second candidate frame having the second highest priority (step S27).

Next, referring to the frame table (see FIG. 5), the CPU 23 determines whether or not the sales route frame exists for the customer who has placed the order (step S29). In this case, there is a sales route frame for customer wl on the frame table. Therefore, the frame is set as the third candidate frame with the third highest priority (step S31).

Next, the CPU 23 determines whether at least one candidate frame exists (step S32). In this case, since there is an inventory, a determination is made as to whether or not the customer who has the inventory can reserve the available inventory (free inventory) as the inventory (step S33). In this case, since it is possible to allocate the customer having the frame, the frame is set as the fourth candidate frame having the fourth highest priority (step S35).

Next, the CPU 23 determines each candidate frame as an allocation frame in the order of the frame with the highest priority (step S36).

[0039] If at least one candidate slot does not exist in step S32, the free inventory is allocated (step S37).

When the allocation frame or the allocation target is determined, the CPU 23 determines whether or not the number of the ordered products is equal to the number ordered (step S7 in FIG. 6). In this case, the number of allocations is 30. First, for 7Z7, the number of the first allocation capacity to be allocated has been allocated = (50 + 10)-(3 + 2), which is 55. Therefore, it is determined that allocation is possible because allocation is possible only in the first allocation frame.

The CPU 23 changes the stock table (step Sl in FIG. 6). In this case, the number of scheduled deliveries is increased as 7Z7 for the allocated amount. Next, the CPU 23 changes the frame table (step S13). Specifically, 30 is described as the reserved amount of 7Z7 for secured product S1 for customer W1. The CPU 23 replies to the orderer that delivery is possible (step S15). The answer may be obtained by searching a customer database (not shown), extracting the e-mail address of the customer, and sending an e-mail or sending a fax. Ma It may also indicate that delivery is possible so that the operator can be contacted by telephone.

[0042] Further, when the free inventory is set as the allocation target, whether or not the inventory quantity exists only for the allocation is determined in the inventory table by (actual inventory quantity + scheduled storage quantity-scheduled delivery quantity-remaining frame quantity). You can find the number of free stocks at

[0043] In addition, the process shown in Fig. 8 is executed every day for the portion reserved as a frame, and the frame after the period is released. The CPU 23 determines whether or not there is a frame whose period has elapsed (step S41 in FIG. 8). If there is, the product is deleted from the frame table (step S43), and the number of remaining frames in the stock table is reduced by that amount (step S45).

Further, when newly securing the frame shown in FIG. 5, the operator may be required to input an object, a product number, a start date, an end date, a secured number, and the date.

[0045] In this way, by securing in advance a product to be preferentially allocated to a certain customer for a limited period of time, it is possible for the product provider to control the supply route and supply amount of a specific product. it can. This distribution route can be controlled by store type, type of mass retailer or bargain store, and regional control is also possible. In addition, since goods are secured for a limited period, after the period elapses, the frame is limited and can be treated as free stock.

5. Second Embodiment

FIG. 9 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is realized by a server-client type. The customer terminals 201a to 201η are connected to the laser 100 via a network. The server 100 includes a transmission / reception unit 101, a determination unit 103, a general customer processing unit 105, a frame securing customer processing unit 107, an inventory tape holder 109, a gnole tape tape holder 111, a frame tape holder 113, an answer creation unit 117, and a frame securing / release unit. It has 109.

[0047] The inventory table 109, the group table 111, and the frame table 113 are the same as in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

[0048] The transmission / reception unit 101 performs communication processing with the customer terminals 201a-201η. The determination unit 103 refers to the group table 111 and the frame table 113 when there is a stock allocation request specifying the number of a certain product together with the customer ID from one of the customer terminals 201a to 201η. Then, it is determined whether or not the customer of the customer ID is a customer for which the slot is secured. That is, it is determined whether or not at least one of the customer frame, the commercial distribution frame, and the sales route frame has been secured. It should be noted that with regard to the commercial distribution frame and the sales route frame, by referring to the group table 111, it is possible to determine whether or not the frame is secured.

[0049] If the determination result is not a frame securing customer, the determination unit 103 requests the general customer processing unit 105 to perform allocation processing. The general customer processing unit 105 refers to the stock table 109 and performs allocation processing for the designated number of the products. If it can be allocated, it will be debited and the allocation will be completed, and if it cannot be allocated, it will be returned to the answer creation unit 117 that it will not be allocated. The transmitting / receiving unit 101 returns the answer created by the answer creating unit 117 to the customer terminal to which the stock allocation request has been given.

If the determining unit 103 determines that the customer is a slot-securing customer based on the customer ID, it requests the slot-securing customer processing unit 107 to perform allocation processing. The quota securing customer processing unit 107 refers to the quota table 113 for the product, and extracts all of the inventory reserved by the customer of the customer terminal, the customer quota, the commercial distribution quota, and the sales route quota. It should be noted that the group table 111 is referred to to determine which of the distribution channels and which sales route frame capacity are to be extracted. When the total of these slots is larger than the number of inventory allocation requests, the slot securing customer processing unit 107 performs withdrawal and notifies the answer creation unit 117 that allocation has been completed. It should be noted that the customer frame, the commercial distribution frame, and the sales route frame may be given priorities depending on which of them is prioritized.

On the other hand, when the allocation cannot be made only by the extracted frame, the frame securing customer processing unit 107 further determines whether or not the product exists in the inventory table 109. If it is possible to reserve the inventory by caloring the inventory, it will be debited if possible, and the response creation unit 117 will be notified that the reservation has been made.

[0052] The frame securing customer processing unit 107, when referring to the inventory table 109, if the product cannot be allocated, returns a response indicating that allocation is not possible to the answer creating unit 117.

Upon receiving the information indicating that allocation is impossible or allocation is completed, the answer creating unit 117 creates an answer to the customer terminal that has requested inventory allocation based on this. The transmission / reception unit 101 returns the created response to the customer terminal. Further, the frame securing and releasing section 119 releases the frame in which the frame securing period has elapsed, and increases the number of stocks in the stock table 109. In addition, when a server reservation command is given by the server operator, the corresponding stock is reserved as a frame (a customer frame, a commercial distribution frame, and a sales route frame) by the number given the reservation command. Decrease the number.

[0055] It should be noted that a known communication process such as TCP / IP may be employed for the communication process with the customer terminal. In addition, other processes are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

[0056] 6. Other embodiments

In the above embodiment, for the specific customer slot, the secured quantity does not fluctuate unless an order is received or an additional secured, but after a certain period of time after the secured quantity, the secured quantity is gradually reduced. You may. For example, the period from the start date to the end date may be equally divided, and if it exceeds 1Z2, it may be reduced by 10%. As described above, the period from the start date to the end date may be divided into a predetermined ratio, and after the predetermined ratio period has elapsed, the secured quantity may be reduced by the predetermined ratio.

[0057] Further, such a variation rate may be varied not according to the remaining period but according to the actual allocation amount. For example, if there is a predetermined number of allocations every predetermined number of days (1

The change rate may be set to zero (0) for each Z day, and the reserve rate may be increased if there is no allocation even if the number of days is too long.

[0058] Further, the application end date may be changed according to the allocation amount. For example, the end date may be brought forward if there is no allocation after a predetermined number of days, or the end date may be shifted back from the schedule if there is more allocation than planned.

[0059] The predetermined ratio, the predetermined change amount, and the like may be stored as much as possible!

[0060] Also, a frame table may be prepared for each warehouse! This will enable regional priority distribution. As for the data format, for each table in Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, prepare this table for each warehouse, prepare a correspondence table between the delivery location and the warehouse, and decide which warehouse to use if there is an order do it. Also, this warehouse may be grouped, and if there is no necessary securing frame in a certain warehouse, it may be determined whether it exists in a warehouse of a higher group. This allows more flexible allocation between warehouses.

[0061] Further, in the above embodiment, a predetermined amount of a certain product has already been secured. If additional slots are secured, they will be added if they are within the slot setting period. It is not limited to such a format. For example, the next time the reserve is made, the remaining reserve number may be set as free stock. In this case, if it is desired to secure the amount with the operator power ^ ヽ as it is, it is necessary to secure that amount.

[0062] Further, in the above-described embodiment, a three-stage frame of a customer frame, a commercial distribution frame, and a sales route frame is used, but the number of frames is not limited thereto, and may be at least large. The name of the frame is not limited.

In the present embodiment, in order to realize the function shown in FIG. 1, this is realized by a software using a CPU. However, some or all of them may be realized by hardware such as a logic circuit.

Note that a part of the processing of the program may be performed by an operating system (OS).

[0065] In the above, the present invention has been used for explanation rather than for limiting the power described as a preferred embodiment, and without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Can be changed within the scope of the claims.
