Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an assembled benchtop management system, an information terminal, and a program for enabling a computer to function as an assembled benchtop management system or an information terminal. Background Technology

[0002] When transporting sheet metal coils, such as steel coils, which are wound into cylindrical shapes, the coils are sometimes placed on a platform called a coil stand, which is then mounted on a transport container for handling. This allows the coil stand to absorb vibrations during transport and prevent damage to the coils.

[0003] Traditionally, roll-up frames were disposable structures that used screws or nails to fix the wood together. However, such roll-up frames present problems with environmental burden or disposal costs.

[0004] Furthermore, in this structure, each time a roll is transported, the following operations are required: cutting wood to a strength suitable for the transported object to create multiple components, and assembling the components into a structure suitable for the transported object. However, this operation can only be performed by skilled personnel with extensive experience in manufacturing roll-up frames, thus, having skilled personnel manufacture disposable products presents productivity problems.

[0005] Therefore, in order to enable the reusability of roll racks, the applicant has proposed an excellent modular rack that can be disassembled into multiple parts (Patent Document 1). In its construction, when transporting rolls, the modular rack can be manufactured simply by assembling the pre-manufactured parts; therefore, even unskilled personnel can assemble the modular rack. Furthermore, after the rolls have been transported, they can be disassembled to save space and then loaded into a container for return transport; thus, the modular rack can be used as a reusable, so-called recyclable container.

[0006] On the other hand, in order to reuse recyclable containers, tracking and management are required. In addition, in the case of import and export roll transfers, the assembled racks that serve as recyclable containers also need to be declared to customs.

[0007] The management system for tracking, managing, and customsing recyclable containers is well known (Patent Document 2).

[0008] On the other hand, since each component of the assembled rack has a different size, shape, and material, there are situations where the manufacturers of each component are different. In addition, there are many cases where operators ordering the transport of rolls subcontract their work to transport operators, and the person in charge of managing the assembled rack changes for each subcontract.

[0009] Therefore, in the event of a roll of material being damaged during transport, it is necessary to identify the component that caused the damage, the time when the improper operation that caused the damage was performed, and the person in charge at that time, in order to prevent the recurrence of the accident.

[0010] However, the management system in Patent Document 2 only tracks recyclable containers during product transportation and return. Therefore, if the transported object is damaged during transportation, the component that caused the damage, the time when the improper operation was performed, and the person in charge at that time are all unknown, making it impossible to take sufficient measures to prevent the recurrence of accidents.

[0015] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0016] The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide an assembly rack management system that makes it easy to determine the cause of an accident in the event of an accident during the handling of rolls using an assembly rack.

[0017] Solution for solving the problem

[0018] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, one aspect of the present invention is an assembly rack management system used in logistics processes involving the management of assembly racks on which rolls of material are mounted for reuse and stored in transport containers for transportation, and connected to an information terminal via a network. The system is characterized by comprising: a storage unit storing component management information and access permission information; the component management information including progress information and component information; the progress information indicating ongoing and completed management processes among a plurality of pre-divided management processes from the manufacturing and ordering of each component of the assembly rack to reuse and disposal after damage; the component information indicating the status of each component in the completed management processes; and the access permission information indicating the authority of a manager in any of the management processes to view and update the component management information via the information terminal; and a control unit that, upon receiving an update request information from the information terminal including information indicating the manager requesting the update of the component management information and the update content, updates the component management information within the scope of the authority of the manager requesting the update indicated in the access permission information.

[0019] In this structure, the assembly bench management system has component management information that shows the status of each component in the management process of transporting rolls using the assembly bench, and updates the component management information according to the application of the person in charge of each management process, i.e., the management manager.

[0020] Therefore, in the event of damage to rolled goods during transportation, by referring to the component management information and the status of each component in each completed management process, it is easy to determine the component that caused the damage, the management process that performed improper operations, and the person in charge of that management process, etc.

[0037] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] First, refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 An example of an assembled bench that is the object of management of the assembled bench management system of this embodiment will be described.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the assembled platform 1 includes a base 3 and a support 4.

[0040] The pedestal 3 is a component that supports the rolled material 2, which is the object being transported, and other components constituting the assembled frame 1. Figure 1 The middle part is a prismatic component.

[0041] The support part 4 is a component that supports the roll 2 by directly contacting the cylindrical surface of the roll 2, and is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface has four plate-shaped members with U-shaped support surfaces 4a corresponding to the cylindrical surface. The bottom surface of the support 4 is flat, but has a recess 4b for fitting the base 3.

[0042] In this construction, such as Figure 2 As shown in (b), the pedestal 3 is placed on a floor surface, such as the bottom of the transport container 6, so that it fits into the recess 4b of the support portion 4, thereby assembling the modular frame 1. In this state, the rolled material 2 is placed on the support surface 4a of the support portion 4, thereby enabling it to be loaded as shown in (b). Figure 2As shown in (a), the roll 2 is mounted on the assembly stand 1 and then placed in the transport container 6. The roll 2 is further secured by an operation called tying, which involves binding the roll 2 to the transport container 6 or the assembly stand 1 with ropes.

[0043] The assembled platform 1 can be used as follows Figure 1 As shown in (b), the support part 4 is removed from the base 3 and disassembled.

[0044] Furthermore, in the disassembled state of the assembled platform 1, such as Figure 1 As shown in (c), the support 4 and the base 3 are stored in the storage box 5 in a manner that overlaps in the thickness direction of the plate. As a result, the area occupied is the same as that in the assembled state, and the height can be reduced.

[0045] Therefore, as Figure 2 As shown in (b), multiple storage boxes 5 containing the disassembled assembled frame 1 can be stacked on top of each other and transported in a transport container 6. Therefore, after the transport of the roll 2 is completed, it can be transported as shown in (b). Figure 2 (b) The items are returned in the state of being stored in storage box 5 as shown.

[0046] about Figure 1 The assembled stand 1 shown is a simplified version of the actual structure for the sake of simplicity. The actual assembled stand 1, in addition to the base 3 and the support 4, requires various components such as members to restrict the axial movement of the rolled material 2 within the cylinder and cushioning material inserted between the container sidewall and the support 4. However, it is clear that even with such a simplified structure… Figure 1 The assembled stand 1 shown consists of only two components: a base 3 and a support 4. When a storage box 5 is added, three components need to be managed.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to support other components, the pedestal 3 needs to be a rigid body; however, to prevent the rolled-up material 2 from being scratched due to vibration during transportation, the support portion 4 is preferably an elastic body. Therefore, the pedestal 3 and the support portion 4 are made of different materials, and thus, the manufacturers usually use different materials as well.

[0048] Next, refer to Figures 3-6 An example of the sequence of transporting roll 2 will be explained. Here, the example is a case where an overseas operator, i.e., the importer, purchases roll 2 from a domestic operator, i.e., the exporter.

[0049] First, assume that a purchase contract for roll 2 has been signed between the importer and the exporter ( Figure 3 as well as Figure 4In this case, when the exporter lacks transportation capacity, it entrusts transportation to a domestic transportation operator, namely the exporting country's integrated transportation operator (S0). Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S1, the transportation consignment process. The exporting country's integrated transportation operator, to which the business has been consigned, first consigns the business to the export bundling operator who actually performs the operation of mounting the rolls 2 onto the assembly frame 1 and loading them into the transport container 6, and to the shipping operator who carries out the sea transport of the transport container 6. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 (S2 in the text refers to the business outsourcing process). This is because, sometimes, the exporting country's integrated transportation operators do not have their own transportation capabilities.

[0050] Next, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator needs to prepare the assembled platform 1 for delivery to the export bundling operator. However, when the assembled platform 1 is a product involving another company's patent rights, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator cannot manufacture the assembled platform 1. In this case, although it is also possible for the exporting country's integrated transportation operator to accept an implementation license to manufacture and use the assembled platform 1, it is sometimes cost-effective to only accept an implementation license related to use and rent the assembled platform 1 from the patent holder. Therefore, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator, whose business has been contracted, rents the assembled platform 1 from the platform owner. Specifically, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator first determines whether the quantity of assembled platform 1 in the inventory is sufficient by referring to the inventory of assembled platform 1 already rented from the platform owner. Figure 4 (S3-1 in the text), under sufficient conditions, utilize inventory ( Figure 4 (S3-2 in the text). In the event of insufficient inventory, order an insufficient quantity of assembled rack 1 and sign a rental contract ( Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 (S3-3, bench ordering process).

[0051] The owner of the rack that accepted the order placed the various components with rack component manufacturers A and B, and the packaging company. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S4 in the process, which is the parts ordering process.

[0052] The components mentioned here include the storage box 5. Therefore, in the case of ordering components of the assembled stand 1, there may be instances where the stand 3, support 4, and storage box 5 are ordered from different vendors. Figure 3 In the process, a platform 3 is ordered from platform component manufacturer A, a support 4 is ordered from platform component manufacturer B, and a storage box 5 is ordered from a packaging company. Once platform 3 and support 4 are completed, platform component manufacturers A and B will deliver the completed platform 3 and support 4 to the packaging company. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4S4-2, Component Delivery Process). The packaging manufacturer manufactures storage box 5 and performs packaging operations to house the delivered pedestal 3 and support 4 within the manufactured storage box 5. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S5, Packaging Process). Once packaging is complete, the packer delivers the assembled rack 1, stored in the storage box 5, to the export bundling operator. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 (S6, delivery process). In the case of utilizing inventory in S3-1, the exporting country's integrated transport operator delivers the assembled rack 1 of the inventory to the export bundling operator.

[0053] The exporter receiving the assembled frame 1 also receives the roll 2 from the exporter. Then, the assembled frame 1 is assembled, and the roll 2 is loaded onto it before being loaded onto the transport container 6 for bundling. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S7, the roll-up process. Once the bundling is complete, close the door of transport container 6 and transport it by truck to the loading port. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S8 in the process refers to the land transport process at the port of shipment.

[0054] After transport container 6 arrives at the port of loading, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator or the exporter completes the export customs declaration procedures with the exporting country's customs. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S9, the export customs declaration process. Once the customs declaration is complete, transport container 6 is loaded onto a vessel bound for the importing country and transported by sea to the port of the importing country via a shipping operator. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S10, maritime transport procedures. If the vessel arrives at the port of the importing country, the importer, the integrated transport operator in the importing country who has accepted the business from the exporting country, or the shipping operator in the importing country shall complete the import customs declaration procedures with the customs of the importing country. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 (S11, import customs clearance procedure). Once customs clearance is complete, the importing country's integrated transport operator will transport container 6 by land to the importer's receiving destination, where they will retrieve roll 2 and hand it over to the importer. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S12 in the middle refers to the land transportation process of the importing party.

[0055] The transportation of roll 2 has been completed. However, since the assembled platform 1 can be reused, the importing country's integrated transportation operator needs to return the assembled platform 1 to the exporting country's integrated enterprise. (Refer to...) Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The order in which the data is sent back is explained.

[0056] If the importer completes land transport process S12, the importing country's integrated transport operator will disassemble and recycle the assembled platform 1, storing it in a warehouse or similar location until preparations for return, such as arranging return vessels, are completed. Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 (S13-1, the recycling / storage process). If the return preparation is complete, the next step for the importing country's integrated transportation operator, such as... Figure 2 As shown in (b), the disassembled assembly frame 1 is stored in the storage box 5 and placed in the transport container 6. Then, the transport container 6 is transported by land to the port of loading where the ship carrying out the sea transport to the location of the conglomerate in the exporting country is docked. Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 (S13-2, return process at the port of shipment). Furthermore, the importing country's integrated transport operator in S13-1 does not need to be the same operator as the importing country's integrated transport operator in S12. That is, the importing country's integrated transport operator that carries out the land transport of the roll 2 can be different from the importing country's integrated transport operator that disassembles and recycles the assembled frame 1 after land transport.

[0057] If the transport container 6 carrying the assembled rack 1 arrives at the port of shipment, the integrated transport operator or the shipping operator of the vessel in the importing country, i.e., the maritime operator, shall conduct customs declaration procedures with the customs of the country that imported the roll 2 for the return of the assembled rack 1. Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 (S14 in the importer, customs declaration returned).

[0058] Once customs clearance is completed, the transport container 6, equipped with the assembled platform 1, is loaded onto a ship and transported by sea by the shipping operator to the port of the exporting country of the roll 2. Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 S15, the sea return process. The shipping operator for S15 does not need to be the same as the shipping operator for S10. If the vessel arrives at the port of the exporting country of roll 2, the exporting country's integrated transport operator or export bundling operator shall complete the customs declaration procedures for the return of the assembled rack 1 to the customs of the country that exported roll 2. Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 S16 in the document refers to the return customs declaration from the exporting country. Furthermore, S14 and S16 are also known as IN / OUT procedures.

[0059] Once customs clearance is complete, the transport container 6, equipped with the assembled platform 1, is handed over to the export bundling operator and then transported back to the exporting country's integrated transportation operator via land transport. Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 (S17 in the middle, the land route return process).

[0060] Upon receiving the assembled platform 1, the exporting country's integrated transport operator inspects whether the components constituting the assembled platform 1 are damaged. Figure 6S18, inspection process. If the inspection result is damage, proceed to S20; otherwise, proceed to S21. Figure 6 (S19 in the original text). In case of damage, the damaged part shall be discarded. Figure 6 (S20 in the text). Without damage, the assembled rack 1 will be stored in the warehouse as inventory. Figure 6 S21 in the process refers to the storage procedure.

[0061] The above is an example of the sequence of transporting roll 2.

[0062] As can be seen from this description, during the transportation of roll 2, it is necessary to track each step from S1 to S21, including the ordering of the assembled frame 1, its storage after use, and its disposal, to manage the various components of the assembled frame 1 used during transportation. Furthermore, in the event of an accident such as damage to roll 2 during transportation, it is necessary to determine which step from S1 to S21 caused the accident. Furthermore, the steps from S1 to S21 are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, multiple businesses are responsible for the incident, so in order to develop measures to prevent the incident from happening again, it is also necessary to clarify which business is responsible in the event of an accident.

[0063] In the event of an accident in which the roll 2 is damaged during transportation, the assembled bench management system 100 of this embodiment identifies the process that caused the accident, the component that caused the accident, and the person in charge.

[0064] Next, refer to Figures 7-11 The structure of the assembled benchtop management system 100 and the information terminal of this embodiment will be described.

[0065] The modular rack management system 100 is a computer used in logistics for managing modular racks 1, which are used to transport rolled materials 2 by mounting them on reusable modular racks 1 and storing them in transport containers 6. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the modular bench management system 100 is connected to information terminals 113a, 113b, and 113c via network 111.

[0066] The modular bench management system 100 includes a storage unit 101 and a control unit 102.

[0067] Storage unit 101 is a storage device that stores information and procedures required for the management of the assembled rack 1.

[0068] like Figure 7As shown, the storage unit 101 has component management information 103, access permission information 108, inventory information 107, information update program 109, bench turnover period information 107a, and turnover period calculation program 110 as storage information.

[0069] Component management information 103 shows the status of each component in each of the multiple management processes of the assembled bench 1. The management processes referred to here are processes that are pre-divided from the manufacturing and ordering of each component to its reuse and disposal after damage; specifically, they are... Figures 3-6 The extraction process in processes S0 to S21 shown is the process of managing the items in each transportation process.

[0070] Specifically, the management processes include bench ordering (S3-3), component ordering (S4), component delivery (S4-2), packaging (S5), delivery (S6), roll mounting (S7), transportation, return, inspection (S18), storage (S21), and disposal (S20). These management processes are illustrative and do not imply that all of them are always necessary. However, it is preferable to include processes with different management personnel in the management processes. Furthermore, the management processes may also include... Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 S0 to S3-2 in the example.

[0071] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the transportation process includes, for example, the land transportation process at the port of shipment S8, the export customs declaration process S9, the sea transportation process S10, the import customs declaration process S11, and the land transportation process at the importing party S12.

[0072] However, if the roll 2 is transported only domestically, no import or export procedures are required. Therefore, the export customs declaration procedure S9 and the import customs declaration procedure S11 can be excluded from the management process.

[0073] Furthermore, if only land transportation is carried out without sea transportation, the transportation process is only the land transportation process from the place of sale of roll 2 to the place of purchase.

[0074] like Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the return process includes recycling / storage process S13-1, return process at the port of shipment S13-2, customs declaration process at the port of import S14, return process by sea S15, return process at the port of export S16, and return process by land S17.

[0075] However, if the roll 2 is transported only domestically, there is no need for import and export procedures when it is returned. Therefore, the import customs declaration procedure S14 and the export return customs declaration procedure S16 can be omitted from the management process.

[0076] Furthermore, in the case of transporting only by land without sea transport, the return process is simply the process of returning the assembled platform 1 from the place of purchase of the roll 2 to the owner of the assembled platform 1 by land transport.

[0077] like Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the component management information 103 includes progress information 104 and component information 105.

[0078] Progress information 104 shows the ongoing and completed management processes for each component of the assembled platform 1.

[0079] exist Figure 8 The progress information 104 shown in the example includes rack number information 301, component name information 302, roll type information 303, transportation source → transportation destination information 304, progress status information 305, and management person in charge information 306.

[0080] Figure 8 An example is shown of an image displaying progress information 104 on the display unit of the modular bench management system 100 or information terminals 113a, 113b, 113c.

[0081] The bench number 301 is used to distinguish it from assembled bench 1. Figure 8 The numbers in the middle are sequential, but letters can also be used for differentiation. Roll type information 303 indicates the type of the transported item (roll 2) for a specific rack number assembled rack 1; here, the manufacturer and model are shown. By referring to the roll type, it can be confirmed whether the wrong type of roll 2 has been transported.

[0082] The transport source → transport destination information 304 shows the transport source and transport destination of the roll 2. By referring to this information, it can be confirmed whether the roll 2 has been transported to the wrong transport destination. The progress status information 305 shows the information of the ongoing management process. For example, the progress status information 305 for the component name "support part" with rack number "1" is "component delivery". Therefore, it can be known that the component delivery process S4-2 is in progress, and the manufactured support part 4 is being delivered to the packaging company.

[0083] Management Supervisor Information 306 shows the information of the person in charge of the ongoing management process. For example, the management supervisor information 306 for the component name "Support" of bench number "1" is "Bench Component Manufacturer B". Therefore, if there is a defect such as damage to Support 4 at this stage, it can be known that there is a problem in the operation of "Bench Component Manufacturer B". Therefore, it can also be known that "Bench Component Manufacturer B" should be responsible for the defect.

[0084] Component information 105 shows the status of each component in the completed management process, including image information 501 and rental information 502.

[0085] Image information 501 is an image showing the appearance of each component of the assembled stand 1 at the completion of each management process. Specifically, it is a photograph taken by the person in charge of management at the end of each management process.

[0086] For example, when browsing Figure 8 In the case of image information 501 for the component name "Support" of bench number "2" shown, click the corresponding cell, and thus, as shown... Figure 9 The images show the completed processes as shown.

[0087] Figure 9 An example is shown of an image information 501 displayed on the display unit of the assembled bench management system 100 or information terminals 113a, 113b, 113c.

[0088] Figure 8 The component name "Support" for bench number "2" is progressing to "Transporting to the loading port" as shown in status information 305. Therefore, the loading port transportation process S8 is underway, and the previous process, roll loading process S7, is the completed management process. Therefore, as Figure 9 As shown, image information 501 includes images of the support portion 4 taken at the completion points of each of the component delivery process S4-2, packaging process S5, delivery process S6, and roll mounting process S7. Figure 9 In this process, packaging process S5 and delivery process S6 are grouped into one process because the person in charge of management is the same business owner.

[0089] By referring to image information 501, the status of components in each completed management process can be visually grasped. Therefore, in the event of accidents such as damage, damaged components can be easily identified.

[0090] Image information 501 may also include information other than the image itself. Figure 9 In addition to images, the document also includes information about the person in charge of each management process. This is to ensure that the person in charge is immediately identified if damage to a component is discovered based on the images.

[0091] Thus, the assembly bench management system 100 has component management information 103, which shows the status of each component in the completed management process during the transportation of the roll 2 using the assembly bench 1. Furthermore, the component management information 103 is updated according to the application of the person in charge of each management process, i.e., the management supervisor.

[0092] Therefore, in the event of damage to the roll 2 during transportation, by referring to the component management information 103 and the status of each component in each completed management process, it is possible to determine the component that caused the damage, the management process that performed improper operations, and the management person in charge of that management process, etc.

[0093] For example, suppose about Figure 8 The support portion 4 of the assembled stand 1 broke when the door of the transport container 6 was opened midway through the land transport process S8 at the loading port due to an abnormal noise, causing the rolled material 2 to come into contact with the inner wall of the transport container 6 and become damaged. In this case, the breakage of the support portion 4 is considered to be the cause of the damage to the rolled material 2. For example, if the composition of the material constituting the support portion 4 is abnormal, a component analysis in this state could also reveal a manufacturing problem. However, if the composition is not problematic, simply observing the broken support portion 4 sometimes makes it impossible to determine whether the breakage occurred during manufacturing, packaging, or when it was loaded into the transport container 6.

[0094] In this situation, for example, an exporting country's integrated transportation operator, seeking to determine the cause of the accident, reviews the completed management procedures for support part 4, designated as "2" on the test bench. Specifically, such as... Figure 9 As shown, browse the component management information 103 of the component delivery process S4-2, the packaging process S5, the delivery process S6, and the roll mounting process S7, and the component information 105.

[0095] like Figure 9 As shown, no crack was observed in image information 501 of component delivery process S4-2 for support part 4 of bench number "2". Therefore, it is assumed that no crack occurred during manufacturing, and the person in charge of component delivery process S4-2, namely bench component manufacturer A, is not responsible for the damage to roll 2.

[0096] On the other hand, in the image information 501 of packaging process S5 and delivery process S6, a cracked surface 71 of the support portion 4 was observed. Therefore, it is considered that the possibility of cracking due to improper operation is high in either packaging process S5 or delivery process S6, and the packaging operator, as the person in charge, bears responsibility for the damage to the roll 2. Therefore, improvement measures such as performing appropriate operations to prevent the support portion 4 from cracking can be formulated.

[0097] Furthermore, in the image information 501 of the roll mounting process S7, no visual problems such as tilting or collapse of the assembled platform 1 were observed. Therefore, it is believed that the person in charge of the roll mounting process S7, namely the export bundling operator, does not bear much responsibility.

[0098] However, since the support part 4 has a cracked surface 71 and the exporter also uses the assembled stand 1, a countermeasure is formulated to prevent assembly when the support part 4 has a cracked surface 71 in the future. This will reliably prevent accidents from happening.

[0099] Rental information 502 is information related to the rental rights of each component of the assembled platform 1 that constitutes each completed management process.

[0100] like Figure 3 As shown, in the transportation envisioned in this embodiment, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator rents the assembled platform 1 from the platform owner to transport the rolls 2.

[0101] Therefore, component information 105 includes rental information 502, thereby enabling the acquisition of rental-related information. For example, it can be known that... Figure 8 The support part 4 of the assembled platform 1 with platform number "1" is a lease contract that has been completed. On the other hand, it is also known that its costs have not been accounted for.

[0102] On the other hand, it can also be known Figure 8 The costs for rack numbers “2” through “5” have been calculated. Furthermore, regarding rack numbers “4” and “5”, since progress information 104 indicates “inventory storage”, it can be inferred that they were stored in the warehouse after being returned.

[0103] Rental information 502 may also include information showing the calculated costs of the rental fee. For example, Figure 8 The support part 4 of the assembled platform 1 with platform number "1" has uncalculated costs. When you click on the "Uncalculated Costs" cell, you can also calculate the costs. In addition, you can also perform procedures such as depreciation that are associated with the cost calculation at the same time.

[0104] Inventory information 107 shows the number of units in the assembled rack 1 stored in the component management information 103 that are kept in a reusable state after being returned, such as... Figure 7 It is stored in the storage unit 101 as shown.

[0105] like Figure 8 As shown in the lower section, inventory information 107 is information on the quantity of assembled racks 1 that are in the "inventory storage" state during the management process, extracted from component management information 103. Specifically, it is information extracted from component management information 103... Figure 6 The assembled rack 1, which was not used again for transporting new rolls 2 after S21, stores information about its quantity.

[0106] For example, in Figure 8In the component management information 103 shown, the assembly racks 1 that are in the "inventory storage" state are rack number "4" and rack number "5". Therefore, the inventory information 107 stores the inventory quantity as "2".

[0107] In this structure, when a new shipment of rolls 2 is commissioned, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator compares the quantity of the commissioned rolls 2 with the inventory. The operator can then order the manufacture of new assembly racks 1 only if the inventory is insufficient compared to the commissioned quantity of rolls 2. This prevents the ordering of unnecessary assembly racks 1.

[0108] The bench turnaround time information 107a is information that calculates and stores the calculated turnaround time, which is the period required until all assembled benches 1 stored in the component management information 103 are returned once during the transport of the roll 2. Specifically, the bench turnaround time refers to the period obtained by dividing the total number of all assembled benches 1 stored in the component management information 103 by the number of assembled benches 1 used per unit period at the export, i.e., the number of exports.

[0109] The total number of units is the total number of assembled racks 1 stored in the component management information 103, and is calculated based on the component management information 103. In addition, if the exporting country's integrated transportation operator leases the assembled racks 1 from the rack owner, the total number of assembled racks 1 during the lease contract period is the total number of units.

[0110] For example, when the unit period is set to 1 week, the number of exports is the number of assembly racks 1 that enter the delivery process S6 every week, which is calculated based on the component management information 103.

[0111] For example, if the total number of units at a certain point in time is 500 and the number of exports in the most recent week is 100, the turnover period of the units at that point in time is 500 / 100 = 5 weeks. It can be seen that it takes 5 weeks for all the assembled units 1 to be returned once.

[0112] The bench turnaround time is calculated each time a unit period elapses, and the calculation results are accumulated in the bench turnaround time information 107a. Therefore, the bench turnaround time information 107a becomes information that shows the bench turnaround time in a time sequence.

[0113] The modular rack management system 100 has rack turnover period information 107a. Based on this information, past rack turnover periods can be calculated, allowing for monitoring of demand increases or decreases based on changes in turnover periods. Therefore, especially when exporting countries' integrated transportation operators have transportation contracts, it is possible to determine the extent to which new modular racks 1 are ordered.

[0114] Furthermore, the rack turnaround time information 107a displays rack turnaround time information in chronological order, thus also showing the turnaround time for previously specified periods. Therefore, when the demand for transporting rolls 2 varies seasonally, it is possible to predict the extent to which new assembled racks 1 should be ordered by referring to the rack turnaround time of the same season in the past.

[0115] The turnover period calculation program 110 is a program for calculating the turnaround period information 107a of the countertop. The turnover period calculation program 110 is a program prepared when it is necessary to calculate the turnaround period information 107a of the countertop, but it is not required.

[0116] Access permission information 108 indicates the permissions of the person in charge of any management procedure in component management information 103 to view and update component management information 103 via information terminals 113a to 113c.

[0117] The assembly bench management system 100 stores component management information 103 in the storage unit 101. However, the component management information 103 needs to be updated when the transportation of the roll 2 has progressed, specifically when the work in a certain management process has been completed. To update the information, the person in charge of the completed management process needs to send update-related information to the assembly bench management system 100 via information terminals 111a-111c. However, the person in charge is usually only responsible for a specific management process; therefore, update permissions need to be set for each person in charge to prevent erroneous updates to management processes they are not responsible for. Furthermore, for appropriate updates, the person in charge of the management process also needs to be able to view the component management information 103.

[0118] However, since the component management information 103 stores information from ordering to disposal of the assembly bench 1, it is preferable from a security point of view to only browse information related to the business of each management person in charge. For example, only the bench component manufacturers involved in the manufacturing of components for the assembly bench 1 do not need to browse the transportation process. Therefore, the assembly bench management system 100 stores access permission information 108 in the storage unit 101, which indicates the update or browsing permissions of each management person in charge.

[0119] like Figure 10 As shown, access permission information 108 sets whether the user who is in charge of management can browse and update component management information 103 for each management process.

[0120] For example, for packaging companies, the only updatable management information is for packaging process S5 and delivery process S6. This is because packaging companies do not implement processes other than packaging process S5 and delivery process S6, therefore, they cannot be granted the authority to update processes that they do not implement. Furthermore, the updatable management processes can also be viewed.

[0121] On the other hand, packaging companies can only view the component ordering process S4. This is because, although packaging companies do not implement the component ordering process S4, they do carry out the packaging work for the ordered components, so they need to keep track of the manufacturing progress of the ordered components.

[0122] In this way, the manager can also browse only the management procedures that, although not implemented by the manager, will affect the progress of their implementation.

[0123] Furthermore, Figure 10 This is an example of access permission information 108. Therefore, although only a portion of the management personnel is recorded, the actual access permission information 108 has the access permissions of each management personnel for all management processes of the assembled bench management system 100 as the management object.

[0124] Access permission information 108 can vary depending on each person in the company who is in charge of management. For example, the rack ordering process S3-3 can be divided into an order application process S3-3-1, which is an application for ordering, and an order approval process S3-3-2, which is an approval of ordering. The sales manager is given update permission for the order application process S3-3-1, and the person in charge who reviews whether the order is acceptable is given order approval permission for S3-3-2. The reason is as follows. The exporting country's integrated transportation operator is the company that implements the rack ordering process S3-3. In the exporting country's integrated transportation operator, the sales manager who faces the exporter may want to accept as many transportation orders as possible from the exporter, and may want to increase the number of assembled racks 1 ordered in order to promote the company's transportation capacity. On the other hand, from the point of view of internal management, the sales manager should not be allowed to make unlimited orders. Therefore, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator needs a department that accepts order applications, checks whether an order is needed, reviews whether an order is acceptable, and approves the order only if it is determined to be acceptable.

[0125] Therefore, access permission information 108 can vary for each person in the company who is responsible for management.

[0126] Access permission information 108 can also include information such as whether inventory information 107 can be viewed and rack turnover information 107a. For example, in Figure 10The information available in the middle, including inventory information 107 and rack turnover information 107a, is provided by the exporting country's integrated transportation operator. If, when there is a transportation order, the exporting country's integrated transportation operator has insufficient stock of returned assembled racks 1, it needs to place a new order for assembled racks 1. Therefore, by knowing the inventory quantity or rack turnover period, unnecessary orders for assembled racks 1 or insufficient orders for assembled racks 1 are prevented.

[0127] Access permission information 108 can also be information indicating whether or not the component management information 103 can be viewed, including rack number information 301, component name information 302, volume type information 303, transportation source → transportation destination information 304, progress status information 305, and management personnel information 306. For example, rack component manufacturers A and B do not need to view the transportation source → transportation destination information 304; therefore, access permission information 108 can be information that prevents rack component manufacturers A and B from viewing the transportation source → transportation destination information 304.

[0128] Inventory information 107 cannot be updated by the management person in charge. The reason is that inventory information 107 is information on the quantity of assembled racks 1 that are in the "inventory storage" state in the component management information 103, and the management person in charge does not need to update the inventory quantity.

[0129] The bench turnaround information 107a cannot be updated by the management person in charge because the bench turnaround information 107a is based on the component management information 103 to calculate the turnaround period of the assembled bench 1, and does not need to be updated by the management person in charge.

[0130] Information update procedure 109 is a procedure that enables the assembly bench management system 100 to operate in response to viewing and update requests for component management information 103 from the management personnel via information terminals 113a-113c. Specifically, it is a procedure that enables the control unit 102 to determine permission for viewing and updating, and to perform the work of viewing and updating when permission is granted.

[0131] The control unit 102 is a device that operates the assembled bench management system 100 in the order described in the information update program 109 and the turnaround period calculation program 110. In the case where the assembled bench management system 100 is a computer, the control unit 102 is a central processing unit.

[0132] Specifically, when a request to update component management information 103 is received, control unit 102 performs the following operations based on information update procedure 109. First, it receives update request information from information terminals 111a to 113c, which includes information indicating the administrator requesting the update of component management information 103 and the content to be updated. Next, it updates component management information 103 within the scope of the administrator's permissions as indicated in access permission information 108.

[0133] When the component management information 103 is updated, the control unit 102 can send information showing the update results to the management personnel with browsing permissions for the component management information 103 via the information terminals 113a to 113c.

[0134] In this structure, the administrator with browsing access to the updated component management information 103 can automatically obtain the update results via information terminals 113a to 113c. Therefore, the administrator with browsing access can quickly obtain the updated information.

[0135] Furthermore, when a request to view component management information 103 is received, the control unit 102 performs the following operations based on the information update program 109.

[0136] First, when a browsing request is sent from the management officer via information terminals 113a-113c, the request is received. This browsing request includes a request to browse component management information 103 and information about the management officer requesting the browsing. Next, within the scope of the management officer's permissions as shown in access permission information 108, the component management information 103 is sent to the terminal among information terminals 113a-113c that sent the browsing request.

[0137] Furthermore, when the component management information 103 is updated, the control unit 102 adjusts the inventory count if there are changes. For example, if there is an assembled rack 1 that has completed the return process and is reusable, the quantity of that assembled rack 1 is added to the inventory count shown in the inventory information 107. Specifically, if the quantity of assembled racks 1 in the management process's "inventory storage" state increases, the inventory count is increased by the amount of the increase. If the quantity of assembled racks 1 in the management process's "inventory storage" state decreases, the inventory count is decreased by the amount of the decrease.

[0138] In this structure, the inventory count is automatically updated based on the update of component management information 103. Therefore, the person in charge does not need to update the inventory count, preventing the update process from becoming cumbersome.

[0139] The control unit 102 can also calculate the turnover period of the assembled stand 1 based on the turnover period calculation program 110, and store it in the storage unit 101 as stand turnover period information 107a. The specific order is as follows.

[0140] First, the control unit 102 calculates the total number of units based on the component management information 103 and stores it in the storage unit 101.

[0141] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the number of exits with reference to the component management information 103 and stores it in the storage unit 101.

[0142] Next, the control unit 102 divides the total number of units by the number of exports as the turnover period of the most recent unit period, adds it to the unit turnover period information 107a, and stores it in the storage unit 101.

[0143] The modular benchtop management system 100 needs to be able to communicate with information terminals 113a-113c via network 111. The modular benchtop management system 100 also needs to have a control unit 102 capable of executing information update program 109 and turnover period calculation program 110. The modular benchtop management system 100 also needs to have a storage unit 101 with capacity to store component management information 103, access permission information 108, information update program 109, and turnover period calculation program 110.

[0144] As a device that satisfies such conditions, a computer known as a server can be exemplified.

[0145] However, the term "server" here includes not only servers that use a single computer, such as physical servers, but also servers that virtualize multiple servers within a single physical server, such as virtual servers. Furthermore, it includes structures like cloud servers that use multiple computers connected via a network as virtual servers.

[0146] Information terminals 113a-113c are computers used by the management personnel to communicate with the modular benchtop management system 100, such as... Figure 7 As shown, it is connected to the modular bench management system 100 via network 111. The term "connected via network 111" here also includes cases where information terminal 113a is wirelessly connected to network 111 via repeater 112 such as a wireless LAN.

[0147] like Figure 7 As shown, the information terminal 113c includes a terminal storage unit 115 and a terminal control unit 114.

[0148] The terminal storage unit 115 is a storage medium that stores programs required for communication with the modular bench management system 100, and includes an update application program 117 and a browsing application program 116.

[0149] The update application procedure 117 is a procedure that communicates with the assembly bench management system 100 when updating the component management information 103.

[0150] Specifically, the update application procedure 117 includes an update application information generation unit 117a for generating update application information and an update application information sending unit 117b for sending the generated update application information as a procedure.

[0151] The update application information can include the management process to be updated, the project to be updated, the content to be updated, and the user ID of the person in charge of the update application.

[0152] For example, when a packaging company completes the packaging of assembly rack 1 and delivers it to an export bundling company, the packaging company takes photos of the assembly rack 1 before delivery to prove that the product is defect-free at the time of shipment. In this case, updating the application information becomes... Figure 11 The information shown. Specifically, Figure 11 The update application information 119 shown includes the packaging company as the person in charge of management, the frame number of the assembled frame 1 photographed, the process to be updated, the update content (meaning the process has been completed), and the photographed image, i.e., component information 105.

[0153] The application browsing procedure 116 is a procedure that communicates with the assembly bench management system 100 when browsing component management information 103 or inventory information 107.

[0154] Specifically, the browsing application procedure 116 includes a browsing application information generation unit 116a that generates browsing application information and a browsing application information sending unit 116b that sends the generated browsing information. The browsing application procedure 116 also includes a component management information receiving unit 116c, which receives component management information 103 sent from the assembly bench management system 100 when browsing is permitted.

[0155] When an exporter wants to view component information 105 for packaging process S5 with rack number "1", such as Figure 11 As shown in the lower part, the browsing application information 120 shows the export bundling company as the browsing applicant, the rack number of the browsing object, and the packaging process S5 as the browsing object process.

[0156] The terminal control unit 114 is a device that operates the information terminals 113a to 113c in the order described in the update application procedure 117 and the browsing application procedure 116. When the information terminals 113a to 113c are computers, the terminal control unit 114 is a central processing unit.

[0157] Furthermore, the structures of information terminals 113a and 113b are the same as those of information terminal 113c, therefore descriptions are omitted. As long as the device has a terminal storage unit 115 and a terminal control unit 114 and is capable of communicating with the modular benchtop management system 100, the appearance or size of information terminals 113a to 113c can be appropriately selected. Figure 7 In the diagram, information terminal 113a is shown as a smartphone, information terminal 113b is shown as a laptop PC, and information terminal 113c is shown as a desktop PC.

[0158] The above is a description of the structure of the assembled benchtop management system 100 and information terminals 113a to 113c of this embodiment.

[0159] Next, refer to Figures 12-14 An overview of the operation of the assembled benchtop management system 100 and information terminals 113a to 113c of this embodiment will be described.

[0160] First, refer to Figure 12 Explain the process for updating the application.

[0161] Initially, information terminals 113a to 113c initiate the update application procedure 117 based on the request from the management person in charge of making the update application, and use the update application information generation unit 117a to create update application information 119. Figure 12 (S22 in the text). If the production is completed, the information terminals 113a-113c use the update request information sending unit 117b to send the update request information 119 to the modular bench management system 100 via the network 111. Figure 12 (S23 in the text).

[0162] The control unit 102 of the modular bench management system 100 initiates the information update program 109 and receives update request information 119. Figure 12 (S24 in the text). Then, the control unit 102 refers to the access permission information 108 to confirm the authority of the management personnel who made the update request ( Figure 12 (S25 in the original text). The control unit 102 determines whether an update is permissible based on the confirmed permissions. If an update is not possible, it proceeds to S27; if an update is permissible, it proceeds to S28. Figure 12(S26 in the document). Whether an update is possible can be determined by referring to the access permission information 108 and the update request information 119 to determine whether the update applicant has the permission to update the object to be updated.

[0163] If the update is deemed impossible, the control unit 102 refuses to update and returns ( Figure 12 (S27 in the example). In this case, the control unit 102 does not update the component management information 103. If the update is refused, the control unit 102 sends the intention to refuse the update and the reason for the refusal (e.g., the intention not to have the authority to update) to any one of the information terminals 113a to 113c, which are the sources of the update request information 119, as needed.

[0164] If the system determines that the component is updatable, the control unit 102 updates the component management information 103 based on the update request information 119. Figure 12 (S28 in the text).

[0165] When the component management information 103 is updated, the control unit 102 determines whether the inventory of the assembled bench 1 has changed. If it has changed, it proceeds to S30; if it has not changed, it does not execute S30 but proceeds to S31. Figure 12 (S29 in the text).

[0166] When the inventory quantity of the assembled rack 1 changes, the control unit 102 updates the inventory information 107 based on the changed quantity. Specifically, it increases or decreases the inventory quantity by the amount of increase or decrease. Figure 12 (S30 in the middle).

[0167] Finally, the control unit 102 sends the updated component management information 103 and inventory information 107 to all management personnel with viewing permissions as needed. Figure 12 (S31 in the original text). Updated component management information 103 and inventory information 107 can also be sent with specific update details. In this structure, other management personnel do not need to access the assembly bench management system 100 to view the update content, thus reducing their monitoring burden.

[0168] On the other hand, it is also possible to send only updates. This structure reduces the communication burden when there are many administrators with browsing permissions.

[0169] The above is an explanation of the process for updating the application.

[0170] Next, refer to Figure 13 Explanation of the process for browsing applications.

[0171] Initially, information terminals 113a to 113c initiate the browsing request procedure 116 based on the request from the management personnel who made the browsing request, and use the browsing request information generation unit 116a to create browsing request information 120. Figure 13 (S32 in the text). If the production is completed, the information terminals 113a-113c use the browsing request information sending unit 116b to send the browsing request information 120 to the modular bench management system 100 via the network 111. Figure 13 (S33 in the text).

[0172] The control unit 102 of the modular bench management system 100 initiates the information update program 109 and receives browsing application information 120. Figure 13 (S34 in the text). Furthermore, the control unit 102 refers to the access permission information 108 to confirm the permissions of the administrator who made the browsing request. Figure 13 (S35 in the original text). The control unit 102 determines whether browsing is permitted based on the confirmed permissions. If browsing is not permitted, proceed to S37; if browsing is permitted, proceed to S38. Figure 13 (S36 in the document). Whether browsing is permitted can be determined by referring to the access permission information 108 and whether the browsing applicant has the permission to browse the requested object, as included in the browsing application information 120.

[0173] If the browser is deemed unbrowsable, the control unit 102 refuses to browse and returns ( Figure 13 (S37 in the text). In this case, the control unit 102 sends the intention to refuse browsing and the reason for the refusal (e.g., the intention not to have browsing permission) to any one of the information terminals 113a to 113c, which are the sources of the browsing request information 120, as needed.

[0174] If browsing is deemed permissible, the control unit 102, based on the browsing request information 120, sends the requested component management information 103 to any one of the information terminals 113a-113c that sent the browsing request information 120. Figure 12 (S38 in the text). Furthermore, the transmission of component management information 103 mentioned here includes the following situations: only allowing the image displaying component management information 103 to be displayed on the screen of information terminals 113a to 113c, while prohibiting the saving of component management information 103 itself to information terminals 113a to 113c.

[0175] Finally, information terminals 113a to 113c use component management information receiving unit 116c to receive component management information 103. Figure 13 (S39 in the text).

[0176] The above is an explanation of the process for browsing the application.

[0177] Next, refer to Figure 14 The order of calculation of the turnover period based on the turnover period calculation program 110 is explained.

[0178] First, the control unit 102 pre-starts the turnover period calculation program 110. Furthermore, the start timing of the turnover period calculation program 110 is, for example, after a unit period has elapsed. Next, the control unit 102 calculates the total number of units based on the component management information 103 and stores it in the storage unit 101. Figure 14 (S41 in the middle).

[0179] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the number of exits with reference to the component management information 103 and stores it in the storage unit 101. Figure 14 (S42 in the text).

[0180] Next, the control unit 102 uses the value obtained by dividing the total number of units by the number of exports as the turnover period of the most recent unit period, adds it to the unit turnover period information 107a, and stores it in the storage unit 101. Figure 14 (S43 in the text).

[0181] The above is an explanation of the order of calculation of the turnover period based on the turnover period calculation program 110.

[0182] Thus, the assembly bench management system 100 of this embodiment has component management information 103 during the transportation of the roll 2 using the assembly bench 1, and updates the component management information 103 according to the application of the person in charge of each management process, i.e., the management person in charge.

[0183] Therefore, if the roll 2 is damaged during transportation, the cause of the damage can be easily determined by referring to the component management information 103 and the status of each component in each completed management process.

[0184] The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Of course, those skilled in the art will be able to conceive of various modifications and improvements within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, and these are also included in the present invention.

[0185] For example, in the above-described embodiments, the assembled stand 1 is illustrated as having a structure consisting only of a base 3 and a support 4. However, as long as the assembled stand 1 is assembled and reusable, the number and type of components can be appropriately selected.

[0186] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the assembled rack 1 that is the object of management by the assembled rack management system 100 is only one type, but the assembled rack management system 100 can also manage a variety of assembled racks 1 with different shapes and materials.
