The person inputs the transportation information of the product 30 from the information input WS3 (step S13). The information input here is accumulated in the evaluation result database 6 provided in the information server 5.
 本実施形態において運搬情報は、1例として、製品30のID、製品30の運搬経路、製品30の運搬時の温度、および製品30の運搬後評価結果の4種類の情報とする。ただし、本実施形態では、製品30の運搬後評価結果については、製品30の使用者の方から入力される。また、運搬時の温度、さらに運搬時の湿度等の情報は、例えば製品30に計測チップを埋め込んで取得してもよいし、製品30を梱包したケースに計測チップを埋め込んで取得してもよい。 In the present embodiment, the transportation information is, for example, four types of information including the ID of the product 30, the transportation route of the product 30, the temperature of the transportation of the product 30, and the post-transport evaluation result of the product 30. However, in the present embodiment, the post-transport evaluation result of the product 30 is input by the user of the product 30. The information such as the temperature during transportation and the humidity during transportation may be acquired by, for example, embedding the measuring chip in the product 30, or by embedding the measuring chip in the case in which the product 30 is packed. ..
 製品30の使用者は、製品30の使用前に、製品30の運搬後評価結果を取得するために、製品30の良否判定を行い(ステップS14)、その結果を製品30の運搬情報として情報入力WS4から入力する。ステップS14において、製品30の良否判定がNGだった場合(判定結果No)、最終的な品質評価結果もNGとなり、この内容が評価結果情報となる。そして、品質管理WS7において、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の抽出が行われる(ステップS15)。 Before using the product 30, the user of the product 30 determines whether the product 30 is good or bad in order to obtain the post-transport evaluation result of the product 30 (step S14), and inputs the result as transport information of the product 30. Input from WS4. In step S14, when the quality judgment of the product 30 is NG (judgment result No), the final quality evaluation result also becomes NG, and this content becomes the evaluation result information. Then, in the quality control WS7, the factors affecting the quality evaluation result are extracted (step S15).
 ここで、評価結果情報とは、上記の通り製品30の最終的な品質評価結果を示す情報であって、運搬段階における品質評価結果(本実施形態においては上記良否判定)とは異なる情報である。評価結果情報は、運搬段階における最後の品質評価結果と同じ内容としてもよいし、運搬段階における複数の品質評価結果から総合的に判断された内容としてもよい。さらに、評価結果情報の内容の決定は、運搬段階における品質評価結果を含む複数の運搬情報に基づいて、予め決められた閾値またはテーブルと比較して各項目でスコアを算出することにより行ってもよいし、運搬段階における品質評価結果を含む複数の運搬情報に基づいて機械学習または深層学習を行う人工知能を用いて行ってもよい。 Here, the evaluation result information is information indicating the final quality evaluation result of the product 30 as described above, and is information different from the quality evaluation result in the transportation stage (the above-described quality determination in the present embodiment). .. The evaluation result information may have the same content as the last quality evaluation result at the transportation stage, or the content comprehensively judged from a plurality of quality evaluation results at the transportation stage. Further, the content of the evaluation result information may be determined by calculating a score for each item by comparing with a predetermined threshold value or table based on a plurality of pieces of transportation information including the quality evaluation result in the transportation stage. Alternatively, it may be performed using artificial intelligence that performs machine learning or deep learning based on a plurality of pieces of transportation information including quality evaluation results in the transportation stage.
 ここでの品質管理WS7の処理について説明する。まず、取得部21は、情報サーバ5から製品情報および評価結果情報を取得する。取得部21により取得された情報の一例を図5に示す。 Describe the processing of the quality control WS7 here.

 次に、抽出部22は、取得部21が取得した製品情報および評価結果情報に基づいて、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因を抽出する。図5に示す取得例の通り、製造段階はOKであり、運搬段階でNGとなっているため、抽出部22は、製品30の運搬経路および製品30の運搬時の温度を、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の候補として抽出する。また、運搬段階における評価結果を含む複数の運搬情報に基づいて学習した機械学習または深層学習を行う人工知能を用いて、抽出された品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の候補を絞り込むことができる。 Next, the extraction unit 22 extracts factors that affect the quality evaluation result based on the product information and the evaluation result information acquired by the acquisition unit 21. As in the acquisition example shown in FIG. 5, since the manufacturing stage is OK and the transport stage is NG, the extraction unit 22 uses the transport route of the product 30 and the temperature during transport of the product 30 as the quality evaluation result. It is extracted as a candidate for influencing factors. Further, it is possible to narrow down the candidates of factors affecting the extracted quality evaluation result by using the artificial intelligence that performs machine learning or deep learning learned based on a plurality of pieces of transportation information including the evaluation result in the transportation stage.
 そして、出力部23は、抽出結果を品質管理WS7が備えるディスプレイ14に出力する。さらに、出力部23は、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因を有する運搬者の施設内に設置された情報入力WS3宛てに抽出結果をメール、ポップアップ表示、または、ハイライト表示等で出力する。その後、処理を終了する。 Then, the output unit 23 outputs the extraction result to the display 14 included in the quality control WS 7. Further, the output unit 23 outputs the extraction result to the information input WS3 installed in the facility of the carrier having a factor affecting the quality evaluation result by e-mail, pop-up display, highlight display, or the like.

In the present embodiment, the use of the product 30 means that the user adds a compound to the product 30 and evaluates the influence of the compound (for example, drug effect or toxicity).
 本実施形態において使用情報は、1例として、製品30のID、製品30の使用日、製品30に含まれる細胞に添加した化合物、および製品30の使用後評価結果の4種類の情報とする。なお、これらの情報以外にも、例えば、製品30の保管環境および製品30の保管期間といった情報を使用情報としてもよい。ここで、製品30の保管環境とは、製品30の保管場所、保管場所での温度および/または湿度等の保管環境に関する情報である。 In the present embodiment, the usage information is, for example, four types of information: the ID of the product 30, the date of use of the product 30, the compound added to the cells contained in the product 30, and the post-use evaluation result of the product 30. In addition to these pieces of information, information such as the storage environment of the product 30 and the storage period of the product 30 may be used as the usage information. Here, the storage environment of the product 30 is information on the storage environment of the product 30, such as the storage location and the temperature and/or humidity at the storage location.
 ステップS17において、製品30を使用した試験結果が通常と異なる結果(NG)となった場合(判定結果No)、最終的な品質評価結果もNGとなり、この内容が評価結果情報となる。そして、品質管理WS7において、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の抽出が行われる(ステップS18)。なお、製品30を使用した試験結果が通常と異なる結果とは、製品30に添加した化合物から予想される試験結果と異なる場合、および同じ製造条件で製造された細胞培養デバイスを使用した場合等に試験結果が異なる場合等である。 In step S17, if the test result using the product 30 is different from the normal result (NG) (judgment result No), the final quality evaluation result is also NG, and this content becomes the evaluation result information. Then, in the quality control WS7, the factors affecting the quality evaluation result are extracted (step S18). In addition, the test result using the product 30 is different from the usual result when it differs from the test result expected from the compound added to the product 30, and when the cell culture device manufactured under the same manufacturing conditions is used. For example, when the test results are different.
 ここで、評価結果情報とは、上記の通り製品30の最終的な品質評価結果を示す情報であって、使用段階における品質評価結果(本実施形態においては上記試験結果)とは異なる情報である。評価結果情報は、使用段階における最後の品質評価結果と同じ内容としてもよいし、使用段階における複数の品質評価結果から総合的に判断された内容としてもよい。さらに、評価結果情報の内容の決定は、使用段階における品質評価結果を含む複数の使用情報に基づいて、予め決められた閾値またはテーブルと比較して各項目でスコアを算出することにより行ってもよいし、使用段階における品質評価結果を含む複数の使用情報に基づいて機械学習または深層学習を行う人工知能を用いて行ってもよい。 Here, the evaluation result information is information indicating the final quality evaluation result of the product 30 as described above, and is information different from the quality evaluation result in the use stage (the above test result in the present embodiment). .. The evaluation result information may have the same content as the last quality evaluation result in the use stage, or the content comprehensively judged from a plurality of quality evaluation results in the use stage. Furthermore, the content of the evaluation result information may be determined by calculating a score for each item by comparing with a predetermined threshold value or table based on a plurality of use information including quality evaluation results at the use stage. Alternatively, artificial intelligence that performs machine learning or deep learning based on a plurality of pieces of usage information including quality evaluation results at the usage stage may be used.
 ここでの品質管理WS7の処理について説明する。まず、取得部21は、情報サーバ5から製品情報および評価結果情報を取得する。取得部21により取得された情報の一例を図6に示す。 Describe the processing of the quality control WS7 here. First, the acquisition unit 21 acquires product information and evaluation result information from the information server 5. FIG. 6 shows an example of the information acquired by the acquisition unit 21.
 次に、抽出部22は、取得部21が取得した製品情報および評価結果情報に基づいて、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因を抽出する。図6に示す取得例の通り、運搬段階まではOKであり、使用段階でNGとなっているため、抽出部22は、製品30の使用日および製品30に含まれる細胞に添加した化合物を、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の候補として抽出する。また、使用段階における品質評価結果を含む複数の使用情報に基づいて学習した機械学習または深層学習を行う人工知能を用いて、抽出された品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の候補を絞り込むことができる。 Next, the extraction unit 22 extracts factors that affect the quality evaluation result based on the product information and the evaluation result information acquired by the acquisition unit 21. As in the acquisition example shown in FIG. 6, since the transportation stage is OK and the use stage is NG, the extraction unit 22 uses the compound added to cells contained in the product 30 on the date of use and the product 30. It is extracted as a candidate for factors that affect the quality evaluation result. In addition, it is possible to narrow down the candidates of factors affecting the extracted quality evaluation result by using artificial intelligence that performs machine learning or deep learning learned based on a plurality of usage information including quality evaluation results at the use stage. ..
 そして、出力部23は、抽出結果を品質管理WS7が備えるディスプレイ14に出力する。さらに、出力部23は、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因を有する使用者の施設内に設置された情報入力WS4宛てに抽出結果をメール、ポップアップ表示、または、ハイライト表示等で出力する。その後、処理を終了する。 Then, the output unit 23 outputs the extraction result to the display 14 included in the quality control WS 7. Further, the output unit 23 outputs the extraction result to the information input WS4 installed in the facility of the user having a factor affecting the quality evaluation result by mail, pop-up display, highlight display, or the like. Then, the process ends.
 ステップS17において、製品30を使用した試験結果が通常通りの結果(OK)となった場合(判定結果Yes)、最終的な品質評価結果もOKとなり、この内容が評価結果情報となり、処理を終了する。 In step S17, when the test result using the product 30 is the normal result (OK) (determination result Yes), the final quality evaluation result is also OK, and this content becomes the evaluation result information, and the processing ends. To do.
 なお、製品30の最終的な品質評価結果がOKであった場合も、品質管理WS7において、結果の出力を行ってもよい。 Even if the final quality evaluation result of the product 30 is OK, the quality control WS 7 may output the result.
 ここでの品質管理WS7の処理について説明する。まず、取得部21は、情報サーバ5から製品情報および評価結果情報を取得する。取得部21により取得された情報の一例を図7に示す。最終的な品質評価結果がOKであるため、抽出部22による要因の抽出は行わない。出力部23は、単に取得部21が取得した情報を品質管理WS7が備えるディスプレイ14に出力する。 Describe the processing of the quality control WS7 here. First, the acquisition unit 21 acquires product information and evaluation result information from the information server 5. FIG. 7 shows an example of the information acquired by the acquisition unit 21. Since the final quality evaluation result is OK, the extraction unit 22 does not extract the factor. The output unit 23 simply outputs the information acquired by the acquisition unit 21 to the display 14 included in the quality control WS 7.
 また、上記のシーケンスが繰り返されることにより、評価結果データベース6に蓄積される製品情報および評価結果情報のサンプル数が増加する。そのため、品質管理WS7は、評価結果データベース6に蓄積された全てまたは一部の製品情報および評価結果情報を取得し、図8に示すように、条件毎にNG数およびNG率を集計して、集計結果を品質管理WS7が備えるディスプレイ14に出力するようにしてもよい。 Further, by repeating the above sequence, the number of samples of product information and evaluation result information accumulated in the evaluation result database 6 increases. Therefore, the quality control WS 7 acquires all or a part of the product information and the evaluation result information accumulated in the evaluation result database 6, and as shown in FIG. 8, calculates the NG number and the NG rate for each condition, The counting result may be output to the display 14 included in the quality control WS 7.
 さらに、抽出部22は、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の抽出を行った際に、条件毎のNG数およびNG率の集計結果に基づいて、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の候補の中から、NG率の低い要因を外す処理を行ってもよい。 Further, when the extraction unit 22 extracts the factors that affect the quality evaluation result, the extraction unit 22 selects among the candidates of the factors that affect the quality evaluation result, based on the result of counting the NG number and the NG rate for each condition. Therefore, the process of removing the factor of low NG rate may be performed.
 次いで、本開示の第2の実施形態について説明する。なお、第2の実施形態においては、システムの構成は上記第1の実施形態と同一であり、製品30の種類および行われる処理のみが第1の実施形態と異なるため、ここではシステムについての詳細な説明は省略する。 Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.

 製造者による製品30の製造(ステップS20)の後、製造者が、製品30の良否判定を行い、かつ製品30の製造情報を情報入力WS2から入力する(ステップS21)。ここで入力された情報は、情報サーバ5が備える評価結果データベース6に蓄積される。 After the manufacturer manufactures the product 30 (step S20), the manufacturer determines whether the product 30 is good or bad, and inputs the manufacturing information of the product 30 from the information input WS2 (step S21). The information input here is accumulated in the evaluation result database 6 provided in the information server 5.
 製品30の製造後評価結果の取得について、本実施形態では一例として製品30である人工生体部品の良否判定を行う。この良否判定の方法は、人工生体部品内の細胞の形態の異常、細胞数、細胞密度、コンタミネーション、細胞の分化または未分化判定等を検出するものであって、目視で行ってもよいし、人工生体部品をカメラで撮影し、撮影画像をコンピュータで解析することにより行ってもよい。なお、これ以外の周知の方法を用いてもよい。なお、製品30の良否判定については、製造後に1回だけ行う態様に限らず、製造工程(例えば、細胞の培養工程)の途中を含めて複数回行ってもよい。 Regarding the acquisition of the post-manufacturing evaluation result of the product 30, in the present embodiment, as an example, the quality of the artificial biological component which is the product 30 is determined. This method of quality determination is to detect abnormalities in the morphology of cells in the artificial biological part, cell number, cell density, contamination, differentiation or undifferentiation determination of cells, etc., and may be performed visually. Alternatively, the artificial biological component may be photographed by a camera and the photographed image may be analyzed by a computer. In addition, you may use well-known methods other than this. The quality of the product 30 is not limited to being determined once after the production, but may be performed a plurality of times including the middle of the production process (for example, the cell culture process).
 ステップS21において、製品30の良否判定がNGだった場合(判定結果No)、最終的な品質評価結果もNGとなり、この内容が評価結果情報となる。そして、品質管理WS7において、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の抽出が行われた後(ステップS22)、処理を終了する。 In step S21, when the quality judgment of the product 30 is NG (judgment result No), the final quality evaluation result also becomes NG, and this content becomes the evaluation result information. Then, in the quality control WS7, the factors affecting the quality evaluation result are extracted (step S22), and then the process ends.
 ステップS21において、製品30の良否判定がOKだった場合(判定結果Yes)、製品30は運搬に回され、運搬者によって使用者の元へ製品30が運搬された後、運搬者が、製品30の運搬情報の一部(本実施形態においては製品30のID、製品30の運搬経路、および製品30の運搬時の温度)を情報入力WS3から入力する(ステップS23)。ここで入力された情報は、情報サーバ5が備える評価結果データベース6に蓄積される。 In step S21, when the quality determination of the product 30 is OK (determination result Yes), the product 30 is sent for transportation, and after the product 30 is transported to the user by the transporter, the transporter determines the product 30. Part of the transportation information (in this embodiment, the ID of the product 30, the transportation route of the product 30, and the temperature of the transportation of the product 30) is input from the information input WS3 (step S23). The information input here is accumulated in the evaluation result database 6 provided in the information server 5.
 製品30の使用者は、製品30の使用前に、製品30の運搬後評価結果を取得するために、製品30の良否判定を行い(ステップS24)、その結果を製品30の運搬情報として情報入力WS4から入力する。ステップS24において、製品30の良否判定がNGだった場合(判定結果No)、最終的な品質評価結果もNGとなり、この内容が評価結果情報となる。そして、品質管理WS7において、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の抽出が行われた後(ステップS25)、処理を終了する。 Before using the product 30, the user of the product 30 determines whether the product 30 is good or bad in order to obtain the post-transport evaluation result of the product 30 (step S24), and inputs the result as transport information of the product 30. Input from WS4. In step S24, when the quality judgment of the product 30 is NG (judgment result No), the final quality evaluation result also becomes NG, and this content becomes the evaluation result information. Then, after the factors affecting the quality evaluation result are extracted in the quality control WS7 (step S25), the process ends.
 ステップS24において、製品30の良否判定がOKだった場合(判定結果Yes)、製品30は実際に患者に移植されることになり、医者(すなわち、使用者)による製品30の患者への移植(ステップS26)の後、使用者が、製品30を移植した患者の経過観察の結果の判定を行い、かつ製品30の使用情報を情報入力WS4から入力する(ステップS27)。ここで入力された情報は、情報サーバ5が備える評価結果データベース6に蓄積される。 If the quality of the product 30 is OK in step S24 (determination result Yes), the product 30 is actually transplanted to the patient, and the doctor (ie, the user) transplants the product 30 to the patient ( After step S26), the user determines the result of the follow-up observation of the patient who transplanted the product 30, and inputs the use information of the product 30 from the information input WS4 (step S27). The information input here is accumulated in the evaluation result database 6 provided in the information server 5.
 ステップS27において、製品30を移植した患者の経過観察の結果が良好でない場合(NG:判定結果No)、最終的な品質評価結果もNGとなり、この内容が評価結果情報となる。そして、品質管理WS7において、品質評価結果に影響を与える要因の抽出が行われた後(ステップS28)、処理を終了する。 In step S27, if the result of follow-up observation of the patient who transplanted the product 30 is not good (NG: judgment result No), the final quality evaluation result is also NG, and this content becomes evaluation result information. Then, in the quality control WS7, the factors that affect the quality evaluation result are extracted (step S28), and then the process ends.
