A system for setting a delivery count rank

Abstract

A system is provided for setting an appropriate delivery count rank expressing the delivery capability of a deliveryman. There is provided: a storage device that stores a delivery count rank for each deliveryman, a progress flag indicating whether or not each deliveryman is subject to a progress check, and a performance of each deliveryman in a designated period; and rank setting unit that calculates a total undelivered task count and an undelivered task rate on the basis of a total transmitted count and a total actual count included in the storage device, calculates a work attendance rate on the basis of a stipulated number of attendances and an actual number of attendances included in the storage device, and sets a delivery count rank for each deliveryman on the basis of the calculated total undelivered task count, undelivered task rate, work attendance rate, and a progress flag.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a delivery count rank setting system for liquid petroleum (LP) gas cylinders. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system for setting a delivery count rank to deliverymen working for a delivery base.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The supply of LP gas is divided into importation from industrial gas-producing countries, and domestic production obtained as a by-product of the production process for petroleum products. Import terminals that store LP gas carried by tankers from industrial gas-producing countries, as well as petroleum refining bases, are respectively called primary terminals. LP gas is loaded onto coastal vessels and tank trucks, and shipped from primary terminals to secondary terminals, which are transit stations located along the coast or inland for LP gas shipping. Additionally, LP gas carried to secondary terminals is shipped to local LP gas filling stations, filled in LP gas cylinders at the filling stations...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a delivery count rank setting system that includes a storage device that stores delivery counts and ranks for each deliveryman, a progress flag indicating whether or not each deliveryman is subject to a progress check, and a performance history including a total transmitted count, a total actual count, stipulated number of attendances, and actual number of attendances. The system calculates the total undelivered task count and the undelivered task rate, and sets the delivery count ranks for each deliveryman based on the total undelivered task count, the undelivered task rate, the stipulated number of attendances, and the actual number of attendances. This helps to control delivery volume, supply gas cylinders stably, and appropriately manage personnel to be assigned to a delivery area. It also makes it possible to pay wages commensurate with the delivery capability of the deliverymen.

Problems solved by technology

When managing a delivery area in this way, a problem arises in which customers whose delivery is scheduled on the same day become clustered in a specific sub-area.

Also, if a temporary substitute deliveryman is needed because a deliveryman takes a leave, there is a problem of how to allocate the sub-area handled by the deliveryman on leave.

In this case, there is also the problem of reduced delivery efficiency due to allocating the sub-area handled by the deliveryman on leave to a substitute deliveryman who is unfamiliar with the area.

If a deliveryman is assigned a delivery count rank that is above that deliveryman's capability, there is an increased risk of being unable to deliver to customers on the delivery due date.

On the other hand, if a deliveryman is assigned a delivery count rank that is below that deliveryman's capability, extra deliverymen who are not actually needed are judged to be necessary, and excess costs are incurred.

Also, if a deliveryman is assigned a delivery count rank that is inappropriate for that deliveryman's capability, it becomes difficult to appropriately judge the deliveryman's capability that should be ensured for the delivery base overall.
