[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent logistics warehousing technology, specifically, it relates to a business volume control method and control system based on warehouse efficiency. Background Technology

[0002] Warehousing and logistics are an integral part of the real economy. Warehousing costs account for over 30% of a company's logistics costs, significantly impacting response time and costs, and are often referred to as the third source of profit for businesses, driving high-quality development of the real economy. Warehouses are crucial locations for storing and reprocessing goods, and are also vital nodes in the entire supply chain and logistics network, playing a significant role in a company's logistics system. In an increasingly competitive market, rational planning and construction of warehouses can enhance market competitiveness and effectively reduce costs. Therefore, the rational and efficient construction of warehouses has become a key focus for real economy enterprises. The volume of business handled by the constructed warehouse directly affects a company's revenue and is also a key concern. Current technologies for controlling warehouse business volume typically adjust based solely on warehouse busyness, neglecting warehouse efficiency. This results in imprecise control of business volume, making it difficult to achieve efficient and accurate control, thus impacting company profits. Summary of the Invention

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0036] Figure 1 A flowchart of the first embodiment of the warehouse efficiency-based business volume control method proposed in this invention is shown.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment uses the following process to control the warehouse's workload.

[0038] S11: Obtain the warehouse input parameter group of the warehouse to be built and the employee input parameter group of the employees configured in the warehouse to be built.

[0039] The warehouse input parameter set includes at least warehouse area parameters, required equipment parameters, and operator parameters. The parameter values ​​in the warehouse input parameter set can be quantified as needed. In some embodiments, for ease of quantification, the warehouse area parameter is quantified by its area size; the required equipment parameter is quantified by its total required equipment input value; and the operator parameter can be quantified by the number of personnel or by working hours.

[0040] The employee input parameter group includes at least the employee number parameter and the working hour parameter. The employee number parameter includes the number of operators. In some other embodiments, the employee number parameter includes both operators and managers. In still other embodiments, the employee number parameter includes not only operators but also combinations of operators and managers, using different combinations of operators and managers to represent different employee action parameters. The working hour parameter is the total working hours of all operators.

[0041] The parameter values ​​of each parameter in the warehouse input parameter group and the employee input parameter group can be set according to the actual size of the warehouse to be built, the company's needs, and the parameter values ​​obtained from the operation of the existing warehouse.

[0042] S12: Create multiple warehouse build schemes and obtain the output parameter group for each warehouse build scheme; create multiple employee configuration schemes and obtain the output parameter group for each employee configuration scheme.

[0043] Specifically, multiple warehouse construction schemes are created based on the warehouse input parameter set obtained in S11. In some embodiments, multiple warehouse construction schemes are formed by permuting or randomly combining the parameters in the parameter set. After creating the warehouse construction schemes, simulation software is used to obtain the output quantity set for each warehouse construction scheme. The simulation process is implemented using existing technologies, such as PlantSimulation, and the implementation process is not described in detail here. The output quantity set of the warehouse construction scheme includes at least the warehouse rated workload parameter.

[0044] Multiple employee configuration schemes are also created based on the employee input parameter group obtained in S11. In some embodiments, multiple employee configuration schemes are formed by permuting or randomly combining the parameters in the parameter group. After creating the employee configuration schemes, simulation software is used to obtain the output quantity group for each employee configuration scheme. The simulation process is implemented using existing technologies, such as PlantSimulation, and the implementation process is not described in detail here. The output quantity group of the employee configuration scheme includes at least the employee's rated workload parameter. It should be understood that the workload in the employee's rated workload parameter refers to the total workload of the entire warehouse.

[0045] S13: Use the data envelopment analysis model to calculate the overall warehouse design efficiency for each warehouse construction scheme and the employee work efficiency for each employee configuration scheme.

[0046] The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model calculates efficiency based on input and output indicators. After obtaining the warehouse construction plan and its output parameter set, the warehouse input parameters are used as input indicators, and the output parameters as output indicators. These input and output indicators are then input into the analysis model to obtain the overall warehouse design efficiency. Similarly, after obtaining the employee allocation plan and its output parameter set, the employee input parameters are used as input indicators, and the output parameters as output indicators. These input and output indicators are then input into the analysis model to obtain the employee work efficiency. The specific DEA model used and the process of obtaining efficiency based on input and output indicators can be implemented using existing technologies and will not be described in more detail here.

[0047] S14: Determine the warehouse construction scheme corresponding to the maximum value of the total efficiency of the warehouse design as the actual construction scheme of the warehouse to be built, and obtain the fixed input cost of the actual construction scheme.

[0048] The fixed costs of the actual construction plan include the costs of fixed facilities such as equipment and land, which can be obtained through simulation software.

[0049] S15: Determine the warehouse workload based on fixed input costs, overall warehouse design efficiency, and employee work efficiency to control warehouse workload.

[0050] The product of the overall warehouse design efficiency and the employee work efficiency reflects the efficiency of the warehouse in handling business. The product of fixed input costs and this efficiency reflects the cost of handling business. Based on the cost of handling business and the company's operating profit target, the volume of business handled by the warehouse can be determined.

[0051] In some embodiments, the break-even point is reached when the cost of undertaking business equals the revenue generated from undertaking business. The volume of business undertaken at this point serves as the benchmark value for determining the warehouse's profitability. If the warehouse's operating profit target is to be profitable, then it is necessary to control the actual volume of business in the warehouse to be higher than this benchmark value.

[0052] In some embodiments, the warehouse workload is determined based on fixed input costs, overall warehouse design efficiency, and employee productivity, specifically including:

[0053] Calculate the average of the overall warehouse design efficiency for all warehouse construction schemes, and use it as the first input efficiency.

[0054] Calculate the average employee productivity across all employee configurations as the second input efficiency.

[0055] The fixed input cost, the first input efficiency, and the second input efficiency are multiplied together, and the product is used as the standard business revenue.

[0056] The benchmark value for standard business volume is determined based on the standard revenue from accepted business and the unit price of accepted business. Specifically, the benchmark value for standard business volume = standard revenue from accepted business / unit price of accepted business.

[0057] The warehouse's business volume is determined based on a standard benchmark for accepting business volume. This benchmark, determined through the above process, represents the business volume required to break even. Therefore, for the warehouse to be profitable, its business volume must exceed this benchmark.

[0058] When determining warehouse workload using the above method, the second input efficiency is the average employee work efficiency across all employee configuration schemes. The resulting standard workload benchmark value is a unified benchmark applicable to all employee configuration schemes. The determined warehouse workload is also a standard workload, applicable to all employee configuration schemes. This method is simple to implement; a single warehouse workload can be used for all employee configuration schemes. When the workload benchmark values ​​for different employee configuration schemes are not significantly different, the determined warehouse workload can adapt well to all employee configuration schemes with high accuracy. However, if the workload benchmark value for individual employee configuration schemes differs significantly from the standard workload benchmark value, the accuracy of the determined warehouse workload will be low.

[0059] In other embodiments, warehouse workload is determined based on fixed input costs, overall warehouse design efficiency, and employee productivity, specifically including:

[0060] Calculate the average of the overall warehouse design efficiency for all warehouse construction schemes, and use it as the third input efficiency.

[0061] Select one of the employee configuration schemes as the designated employee configuration scheme, and use the employee work efficiency of the designated employee configuration scheme as the fourth input efficiency.

[0062] Multiply the fixed input costs, the third input efficiency, and the fourth input efficiency, and the product is the revenue from the business undertaken under the specified employee allocation plan.

[0063] The benchmark value for the business volume of the designated employee configuration plan is determined based on the business revenue and unit price of the designated business.

[0064] The warehouse workload is determined based on the baseline workload of the specified staffing plan. For the warehouse to be profitable, the warehouse workload must exceed the baseline workload of the specified staffing plan.

[0065] When determining warehouse workload using the above method, the fourth input efficiency is the employee work efficiency of a specific employee configuration scheme, and the determined workload is the workload of that specific employee configuration scheme. This method requires determining the workload separately for each employee configuration scheme, which is complex to implement, but it is highly targeted and accurate, especially suitable for schemes with large differences in employee work efficiency.

[0066] The methods described in the above embodiments are used to control warehouse workload. A warehouse construction plan is created using a set of warehouse input parameters, and the overall warehouse design efficiency of the plan is calculated. Similarly, an employee configuration plan is created using a set of employee input parameters, and the employee work efficiency is calculated. The warehouse workload is determined based on the fixed input costs of the warehouse construction plan, the overall warehouse design efficiency, and the employee work efficiency, thus achieving control over the warehouse workload. This allows for the determination of warehouse workload based on warehouse design efficiency and employee work efficiency, ensuring that the determined workload reflects the warehouse's break-even point. This facilitates revenue control through workload management, achieving precise control of workload based on warehouse efficiency and revenue, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of workload control.

[0067] Figure 2 A flowchart of a second embodiment of the warehouse efficiency-based volume control method proposed in this invention is shown. Specifically, it is a flowchart of an embodiment of the volume control method for creating a warehouse construction plan and obtaining the overall warehouse design efficiency. In this embodiment, the warehouse construction plan is constructed in two stages, and the required warehouse input parameter set includes an initial input parameter set and / or an intermediate output parameter set, as well as an additional input parameter set.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment uses the following process to create a warehouse construction scheme and obtain the overall efficiency of warehouse design.

[0069] S21: Obtain the initial input parameter set and / or intermediate output parameter set of the warehouse to be built, and also obtain the additional input parameter set of the warehouse to be built.

[0070] The warehouse to be built can be a newly built warehouse, a warehouse to be continued, or a warehouse to be modified.

[0071] The initial input parameter set comprises the necessary inputs for warehouse operation, including at least warehouse area parameters, required equipment parameters, and operator parameters. The parameter values ​​in the initial input parameter set can be quantified as needed. In some embodiments, for ease of quantification, the warehouse area parameter is quantified by its area size; the required equipment parameter is quantified by the total value of the required equipment input; and the operator parameter can be quantified by the number of personnel or by working hours.

[0072] The intermediate output parameter set can be the preliminary output parameter set in the initial construction plan below; for warehouse renovation, the intermediate output parameter set can be the output parameter set of the existing warehouse. For warehouse construction, the intermediate output parameter set must include at least the rated workload parameter. The parameters in the rated workload parameter set include, but are not limited to, inbound quantity, outbound quantity, and storage quantity, which are specifically determined based on the warehouse's main business.

[0073] If the warehouse to be built is a newly built warehouse, its initial input parameter set and parameter values ​​are known, so the initial input parameter set can be obtained directly. If the warehouse to be built is a renovated warehouse, the parameter values ​​of its initial input parameter set may not be known, so its current output parameter set can be obtained as the intermediate output parameter set. If the initial input parameter set of the renovated warehouse can be obtained, only the initial input parameter set or the intermediate output parameter set can be obtained, or both the initial input parameter set and the intermediate output parameter set can be obtained at the same time.

[0074] The additional input parameter group refers to any additional inputs that do not affect the normal operation of the warehouse. The addition of these additional inputs may affect the warehouse layout and improve warehouse efficiency. The additional input parameter group includes at least optional equipment parameters or auxiliary personnel parameters, and the parameter values ​​can be quantified as needed. In some embodiments, optional equipment parameters include, but are not limited to, AGV carts, lighting equipment, pallets, and turnover boxes in the warehouse; these equipment parameter values ​​can be quantified by quantity. Auxiliary personnel parameters include, but are not limited to, management personnel and on-duty personnel; their parameter values ​​can be quantified by the number of personnel.

[0075] S22: Create multiple preliminary build schemes and obtain the preliminary output parameter set for each preliminary build scheme.

[0076] Specifically, preliminary construction schemes are created based on the initial input parameter set and / or intermediate output parameter set. In some embodiments, multiple preliminary construction schemes are formed by permuting or combining the parameters in the parameter set, or by random combination.

[0077] After creating the initial construction plans, simulation software is used to obtain the initial output production sets for each initial construction plan. The simulation process is implemented using existing technologies, such as PlantSimulation, the implementation process of which will not be described in detail here. The initial output production sets include at least the rated workload parameters.

[0078] S23: Create multiple additional build schemes and obtain the additional output parameter set in each initial build scheme.

[0079] Specifically, multiple additional construction schemes are created based on the initial construction scheme and the additional input parameter group, with each initial construction scheme corresponding to one additional construction scheme. In some embodiments, additional input parameter groups are added to the initial construction scheme in a permutation and combination manner, a random manner, etc., to create multiple additional construction schemes.

[0080] After creating additional build scenarios, simulation software is used to obtain the additional output production sets for each additional build scenario. The simulation process is implemented using existing technologies, such as Plant Simulation, the implementation process of which is not described in detail here. The additional output production sets include at least the rated workload parameter.

[0081] S24: Use the data envelopment analysis model to calculate the preliminary design efficiency of each initial construction scheme and the additional design efficiency of each additional construction scheme.

[0082] The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model calculates efficiency based on input and output indicators. After obtaining the preliminary construction scheme and its preliminary output parameter set, the preliminary input parameter set and / or intermediate output parameter set from the preliminary construction scheme are used as the first input indicator, and the preliminary output parameter set of the preliminary construction scheme is used as the first output indicator. The first input indicator and the first output indicator are input into the analysis model to obtain the preliminary design efficiency of the preliminary construction scheme. After obtaining the additional construction scheme and its additional output parameter set, since the additional construction scheme is constructed based on the preliminary construction scheme and the additional input parameter set, the preliminary input parameter set and / or intermediate output parameter set from the preliminary construction scheme, as well as the newly added additional input parameter set, are used as the second input indicator. The additional output parameter set of the additional construction scheme is used as the second output indicator. The second input indicator and the second output indicator are input into the analysis model to obtain the additional design efficiency of the additional construction scheme. The specific data envelopment analysis model used and the process of obtaining efficiency based on input and output indicators can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in more detail here.

[0083] S25: Determine the overall efficiency of the additional construction scheme based on the preliminary design efficiency and the additional design efficiency.

[0084] Specifically, the additional design efficiency of each additional construction scheme is multiplied by the initial design efficiency of the corresponding initial construction scheme, and the product is determined as the total efficiency of the additional construction scheme.

[0085] The overall efficiency obtained using the above method is taken as the overall efficiency of the warehouse design. This efficiency is then combined with fixed input costs and employee work efficiency to determine the final efficiency. Figure 1 The methods of the embodiments and other related embodiments are used to control warehouse business volume.

[0086] use Figure 2 The method described in this embodiment constructs a warehouse by creating a preliminary construction plan based on the initial input parameter set and / or intermediate output production set of the warehouse to be constructed, and calculating the preliminary design efficiency of the preliminary construction plan using a data envelopment analysis model. It also creates an additional construction plan based on the created preliminary construction plan and additional input parameter set, and calculates the additional design efficiency of the additional construction plan using a data envelopment analysis model. Finally, it calculates the total efficiency based on the preliminary design efficiency and the additional design efficiency, and determines the actual construction plan for the warehouse based on the total efficiency. This achieves phased creation of construction plans, obtaining phased efficiencies, and using the phased efficiencies to determine the final total efficiency of the plan. Therefore, different influencing factors can be considered in construction plans at different stages to determine the efficiency of the plan, improving the rationality, effectiveness, and efficiency of the construction plan. On the other hand, it facilitates using existing warehouses as preliminary construction plans and continued or modified plans as additional construction plans, still easily obtaining the efficiency of continued or modified plans, and enabling continued or modified construction of existing warehouses based on optimal efficiency. Furthermore, it provides a unified standard for determining warehouse construction plans, improving the intelligence and standardization of warehouse construction. Furthermore, by controlling the workload based on the overall efficiency of the warehouse construction scheme, the efficiency and accuracy of workload control can be further improved.

[0087] Figure 3 The flowchart illustrates a third embodiment of the warehouse efficiency-based volume control method proposed in this invention. Specifically, it is a flowchart of an embodiment of the volume control method for creating a warehouse construction scheme and obtaining the overall warehouse design efficiency. In this embodiment, the warehouse construction scheme is also constructed in two stages, and the required warehouse input parameter set includes an initial input parameter set and / or an intermediate output parameter set, as well as an additional input parameter set.

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment uses the following process to create a warehouse construction scheme and obtain the overall efficiency of warehouse design.

[0089] S31: Obtain the initial input parameter set and / or intermediate output parameter set of the warehouse to be built, and also obtain the additional input parameter set of the warehouse to be built.

[0090] For the meaning and purpose of the technical features involved in this process, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 Description of the embodiments.

[0091] S32: Combine several preliminary input parameters from the acquired preliminary input parameter group to obtain a combined preliminary input parameter unit.

[0092] By combining several initial input parameters from the initial input parameter group to form a combined initial input parameter unit, this unit can be treated as a whole, forming a modular structure to participate in the construction of the solution, thereby improving the efficiency of solution construction. The combination of initial input parameters can be done as needed or according to a combinable method, and can be performed using simulation software. In some embodiments, multiple necessary equipment parameters from the initial input parameter group can be combined, and necessary equipment parameters from the initial input parameter group can also be combined with operator parameters.

[0093] For example, in some embodiments, a fixed-length conveyor belt, a loading / unloading operator, and a packing machine can be combined to form a packing unit, which serves as the initial input parameter unit. When constructing a solution, this initial input parameter unit is directly imported; different import counts result in different construction solutions.

[0094] S33: Create multiple preliminary build schemes and obtain the preliminary output parameter set for each preliminary build scheme.

[0095] For a detailed implementation of this process, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 Description of the embodiments.

[0096] S34: Determine the range of additional input parameters in the set of additional input parameters that can be added based on the preliminary construction plan.

[0097] Determining the range of additional input parameters can improve the speed and efficiency of solution creation. Pre-setting limits on the allowable additional input parameters for a preliminary construction solution allows determining the range of permissible additional input parameters for certain preliminary construction solutions. The relationship between the preliminary construction solution and the range of additional input parameters can be determined based on actual needs and expert experience.

[0098] S35: Create multiple additional build schemes and obtain the additional output parameter set in each initial build scheme.

[0099] Specifically, multiple additional build schemes are created based on the initial build scheme, the additional input parameter group, and the scope of the additional input parameters.

[0100] S36: Use the data envelopment analysis model to calculate the preliminary design efficiency of each initial construction scheme and the additional design efficiency of each additional construction scheme.

[0101] S37: Determine the overall efficiency of the additional construction scheme based on the efficiency of the preliminary design and the efficiency of the additional design.

[0102] For methods to obtain overall efficiency, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 Description of the embodiments.

[0103] use Figure 3 The method for building a repository in the embodiment, in addition to having Figure 2 Beyond the technical effects of the embodiments, they can also improve the speed and effectiveness of solution construction, thereby increasing construction efficiency. Furthermore, by controlling business volume based on the overall efficiency of the warehouse construction solution, the efficiency of business volume control can be further improved.

[0104] In other embodiments, a data envelopment analysis model is used to calculate the preliminary design efficiency of each initial construction scheme and the additional design efficiency of each additional construction scheme, specifically including:

[0105] The preliminary input parameter set and / or intermediate output parameter set of the preliminary construction scheme are used as the first input index, and the preliminary output parameter set of the preliminary construction scheme is used as the first output index. The first input index and the first output index are input into the analysis model to obtain the preliminary design efficiency of the preliminary construction scheme. The preliminary input parameter set and / or intermediate output parameter set and the additional input parameter set of the additional construction scheme are used as the second input index, and the additional output parameter set of the additional construction scheme is used as the second output index. The second input index and the second output index are input into the analysis model to obtain the additional design efficiency of the additional construction scheme. The data envelopment analysis model includes the following objective function and constraints:

[0106]

[0107]

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] λ i ξ j - ξ p + ≥0 for all i, j, p.

[0111] In the above model, i is the sequence number of the construction scheme, i = 1, 2, ..., k, ..., q, q is the number of construction schemes (a known value), and k is one of the construction schemes. j is the sequence number of the input indicator, r is the number of the input indicator (a known value); p is the sequence number of the output indicator, and m is the number of the output indicator (a known value). x represents the efficiency value to be calculated. ji y pi Let λ represent the j-th input index value and p-th output index value of the i-th construction scheme, respectively, both of which are known values ​​or values ​​that can be simulated and calculated. i ξ represents the weight of the i-th construction scheme;j - ξ represents the slack variable of the j-th input indicator; p + Let represent the slack variable of the p-th output indicator; these three values ​​can be calculated using the constraints. The maximum difference between the j-th input indicator values ​​across all construction schemes; It represents the maximum difference in the value of the p-th output indicator across all construction schemes.

[0112] When calculating efficiency using an analytical model that includes the aforementioned objective function and constraints, not only can the required efficiency be calculated, but also improvement strategies for enhancing efficiency can be provided for each input indicator of the model. Furthermore, if multiple construction schemes with the same efficiency value are found, further calculations and ranking can be performed. This improves the feasibility and efficiency of the efficiency-based warehouse construction method with multiple creation schemes.

[0113] Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an embodiment of the warehouse efficiency-based business volume control system proposed in this invention.

[0114] like Figure 4 As shown, the traffic control system of this embodiment includes modules, the functions of the modules, and the interconnections between them, which are described in detail below.
