Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an integrated vehicle delivery date notification system and method thereof. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an integrated vehicle delivery date notification system and method thereof, wherein an expected delivery date is set based on a pre-established production plan before a vehicle is ordered and notified to a customer, and after the customer orders, delivery date information such as a delivery date change and a planned factory shipment date is notified, and when there is a change in the production plan, it is automatically notified to the customer, thereby forwarding highly accurate information to the customer before and after the vehicle is ordered and reducing labor. Background Art

[0002] Typically, when a customer orders a vehicle, a salesperson notifies the customer of an estimated delivery date of the ordered vehicle, and the estimated delivery date is calculated on a monthly basis.

[0003] Changes made to each vehicle during the month are not applied in real time to the calculated estimated delivery date of the vehicle. The non-continuous updates result in customers who have ordered vehicles being notified of an estimated delivery date that is different from the actual delivery date, thereby losing customer trust.

[0004] Therefore, a method is needed that automatically calculates an estimated delivery date based on a production plan made in advance before a customer orders a vehicle and a production plan made after the vehicle is ordered, and notifies the customer of the estimated delivery date, thereby increasing customer trust and notifying the customer of an accurate estimated delivery date. As a related technology for this, there is KR 10-2013-0058196A.

[0005] The above content is only intended to help understanding the background of the present disclosure, and is not intended to mean that the present disclosure falls within the scope of the relevant technology known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0033] The specific structural and functional descriptions of the embodiments of the present disclosure described in the specification or application are only for illustrative purposes of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiments of the present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms, and the embodiments of the present specification or application should not be interpreted as limiting the present disclosure.

[0034] Since the embodiments of the present disclosure can be modified in various ways and can have various forms, the specific embodiments are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail in the specification or application. However, the embodiments according to the concepts of the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the specific disclosure, and it should be understood that all modifications, equivalent means or alternative means falling within the conceptual and technical scope of the present disclosure are included.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical and scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. It should be further understood that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of this specification and the relevant technology, and unless explicitly defined as such herein, shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.

[0036] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals represent the same parts throughout the drawings.

[0037] In order to notify the customer of the vehicle delivery date, the conventional vehicle delivery date notification system calculates the vehicle delivery date on a monthly basis, and the salesperson notifies the customer of the calculated vehicle delivery date on a monthly basis. Typically, if the estimated delivery date changes after the customer purchases the vehicle, the salesperson notifies the customer of the change in the delivery date through personal contact.

[0038] However, this method of notifying the delivery date has three problems.

[0039] First, the conventional vehicle delivery date notification system calculates the vehicle delivery date on a monthly basis, and therefore cannot apply changes that occur within the month in real time, resulting in a discrepancy with the actual customer delivery date. As a result, there is a problem that all customers visited within the month are notified of the same delivery date.

[0040] Secondly, notifying the delivery date change through personal contact with the salesperson after the vehicle is purchased is a manual service of the salesperson, and it may not be possible to perform updates once or twice a month (1 to 2 times). This sales solution and customer experience may lose customer trust and also damage the company's image.

[0041] Third, currently, production plans (vehicle entry queues) through Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) are made only for the minimum period (about 2 weeks) for obtaining parts. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the expected factory delivery date of vehicles that exceed the 2-week period for which entry queues are made, and sales personnel may notify customers of inaccurate delivery date information, such as only notifying the order number of the model in the queue.

[0042] Finally, as described above, when inaccurate delivery date information and an estimated delivery date based on the subjective opinion of a salesperson later than the actual production date are notified, the customer's willingness to purchase a vehicle may decrease. Conversely, when an estimated delivery date earlier than the actual production date is notified, customer claims due to delayed delivery date may increase.

[0043] Therefore, the present disclosure proposes an integrated vehicle delivery date notification system that can enhance customer trust and provide a differentiated customer experience.

[0044] To this end, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an estimated delivery date is automatically calculated based on a production plan pre-established before a customer orders a vehicle and a production plan established after the vehicle is ordered, and the estimated delivery date is notified to the customer, thereby enhancing customer trust and notifying the customer of an accurate estimated delivery date.

[0045] Figure 1 is a configuration diagram showing an integrated vehicle delivery date notification system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The configurations relevant to the embodiments are mainly shown. The actual implementation of the system may include fewer or more elements.

[0046] Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 Block diagram of the integrated vehicle delivery date notification system shown in .

[0047] Reference Figure 2 , the integrated vehicle delivery date notification system according to the embodiment may include a production plan formulation part 100, a sales system 200, and an interface 300. The customer interface 300 may include a delivery date request part 310 and a delivery date notification part 320. The sales system 200 may include a production plan storage part 210 and a delivery date calculation part 220. Hereinafter, the production plan formulation part 100 and the delivery date notification part 320 will be described first.

[0048] The production planning unit 100 may be as follows: Figure 1 The production plan making unit 100 may transmit the made production plan to the client computer and notify the client of the expected delivery date through the delivery date notification unit 320. Here, the production plan making unit 100 and the delivery date notification unit 320 may constitute one server or may be corresponding servers.

[0049] First, the ERP system may receive production information (BTS quantity, BOM, parts supply status, and customer order information) and send the production information to the APS system or the delivery date notification unit 320 .

[0050] The ERP system is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system 110 that automates and manages business processes across finance, manufacturing, retail, supply chain, human resources management, and operations.

[0051] In addition, generally, vehicle manufacturers produce vehicles through a build-to-stock (BTS) production method that relies on forecasted demand. A BTS vehicle refers to a vehicle produced through a pre-made production plan based on demand forecasts.

[0052] The vehicle production plan in the production planning section 100 can be formulated by an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system. The APS system is a new way to achieve optimal planning and scheduling by synchronizing multiple variables and constraints to support practical and appropriate decision making. Specifically, it refers to a system that enables a company to be competitive, such as the ability to make production plans, reduce inventory, shorten delivery times, and improve customer service.

[0053] Summary Figure 1 , the ERP system may transmit production information to the delivery date notification unit 320, and the APS system may transmit pre-established production plan information to the delivery date notification unit 320. The delivery date notification unit 320 transmits customer order information to the APS system, and the ERP system transmits customer order information and information about production constraints to the APS system. Thereafter, the delivery date notification unit 320 sets an estimated delivery date based on the established vehicle production plan, and notifies the customer of the estimated delivery date. When the production plan is revised, the delivery date notification unit 320 revise the estimated delivery date, and notifies the customer of the revised estimated delivery date.

[0054] Here, the APS system, the ERP system, and the delivery date notification unit 320 all have a common power supply, communication components, and memory. The delivery date notification unit 320 may also be provided in the interface 300 so that the expected delivery date is notified to the customer. Here, the power supply, communication components, memory, and interface 300 are illustrative and no limitation is imposed thereon.

[0055] The delivery date notification unit 320 can set an estimated delivery date based on the vehicle production plan formulated by the production plan formulation unit 100, and notify the customer of the estimated delivery date. When the production plan is revised, the delivery date notification unit 320 can revise the estimated delivery date and notify the customer of the revised estimated delivery date. In addition, when the production plan is revised, the delivery date notification unit 320 can notify the customer of the production plan change. The customer is notified of the production plan change and can understand the reason for the delivery date change. This plays a positive role in formulating sales plans and gaining customer trust.

[0056] The delivery date notified to the customer by the delivery date notification unit 320 may include at least one selected from the following group: a delivery date change, a planned factory delivery date, a job start / end time of each process, and a parts supply status. The delivery date change may include a parts delivery time change depending on the parts supply status. This is illustrative and not limited thereto. In addition, notifying the customer of the job start / end time of each process enables the customer to understand the production progress of his or her ordered vehicle according to the production plan, which also enhances customer trust.

[0057] Figure 4 The diagram shows a method of setting a delivery date according to whether a desired ordered vehicle is scheduled to be shipped and whether parts for vehicle production are easily available when the delivery date notification unit 320 makes a production plan.

[0058] The production plan formulation unit 100 generally formulates a production plan once a day, stores the formulated plan in the production plan storage unit 210, and notifies the delivery date based on the stored production plan. The production plan storage unit 210 may store the production plan formulated by the production plan formulation unit 100 and the plan revision information generated by the delivery date calculation unit 220. The delivery date notification unit 320 may notify the customer of the estimated delivery date, which is calculated based on the production plan and the plan revision information stored in the production plan storage unit 210.

[0059] Reference Figure 4, find a built-to-stock (BTS) vehicle that matches the vehicle model information and option information through the interface 300. When there is a built-to-stock (BTS) vehicle that matches the vehicle model information and option information among the vehicles for which a production plan is made, the delivery date calculation unit 220 can calculate the expected delivery date according to the production plan of the matching BTS vehicle. In this case, the delivery date can be notified based on the pre-calculated production time information of the BTS vehicle, thereby quickly notifying the customer of the accurate expected delivery date. Here, the delivery date calculation unit 220 can generate plan revision information when the customer confirms to order the delivery date query vehicle whose delivery date is requested. Even before ordering the vehicle, the customer can request the delivery date of the vehicle that the customer wants to order. For the delivery date query vehicle whose delivery date is requested, the customer can confirm or cancel the order. Here, when the customer confirms to order the vehicle whose delivery date is queried, plan revision information can be generated, such as setting the order of priority so that the vehicle confirmed to be ordered has a higher priority than the vehicle (BTS vehicle) planned to be produced according to the pre-made production plan. Therefore, according to the generated plan revision information, the delivery date calculation unit 220 calculates the estimated delivery date of the delivery date query vehicle that meets the model information and option information based on the plan revision information, and notifies the calculated estimated delivery date to the customer who has confirmed the order of the vehicle.

[0060] However, when the delivery date calculation unit 220 determines that there is no built-to-stock (BTS) vehicle that matches the vehicle model information and option information among the vehicles for which the production plan is formulated, the delivery date calculation unit 220 generates plan revision information so that the production plan includes a delivery date query vehicle that meets the vehicle model information and option information, and calculates an accurate estimated delivery date based on the generated plan revision information.

[0061] Here, when there is no matching BTS vehicle, the delivery date calculation unit 220 may cancel the production plan of the BTS vehicle in the pre-formulated production plan to save production time and obtain required parts.

[0062] Specifically, the ERP 110 may acquire available parts information and parts inventory information acquired due to the canceled BTS vehicle, and parts information required to produce a vehicle satisfying the vehicle model information and option information requested by the customer. The acquired available parts information and parts inventory information may be directly forwarded to the sales system 200 through the ERP 110. Plan revision information may be generated based on the available parts and parts inventory status received from the sales system 200. When the delivery date calculation unit 220 determines that there is no matching BTS vehicle and cancels the production plan of the BTS vehicle, the available parts and parts inventory status according to the cancellation of the production plan may be checked to generate plan revision information.

[0063] Here, the delivery date calculation unit 220 generates plan revision information so that the production plan includes the delivery date inquiry vehicle that meets the vehicle model information and option information as a schedule of the production plan of the canceled BTS vehicle. Therefore, the production plan of the delivery date inquiry vehicle is prioritized, and the customer is notified of an earlier expected delivery date. Therefore, the generated plan revision information is applied again in the formulation of the production plan, and the customer is notified, thereby forwarding highly accurate information to the customer before and after the vehicle order and reducing labor.

[0064] Specifically, even considering the available parts and parts inventory that can be obtained due to the BTS vehicle, when it is difficult to obtain the parts required for producing the delivery date inquiry vehicle that meets the vehicle model information and option information, it may be necessary to consider the delivery time of the required parts such as imports due to the difficulty of parts supply. Here, when the delivery time of the required parts is long, vehicle production is difficult, and the delivery date inquiry vehicle may not be assigned to the expected delivery date. When the delivery date calculation unit 220 determines that there is no matching BTS vehicle and cancels the production plan of the BTS vehicle, the delivery date calculation unit 220 cancels the production plan of the BTS vehicle based on at least one selected from the group of available parts, parts inventory, and parts delivery time according to the cancellation of the production plan of the BTS vehicle, so that the delivery date notification unit 320 notifies the customer of the accurate expected delivery date according to the parts management. Here, the available parts, parts inventory, and parts delivery time considered by the delivery date calculation unit 220 are illustrative and no limitation is imposed thereon. Any factors that affect the calculation of the expected delivery date may be included.

[0065] Here, the delivery date notification unit 320 first queries the pre-established production plan information to check the available parts and parts inventory status. When the delivery date query vehicle's main parts are insufficient and need to be supplied separately, considering the longest delivery time of the parts, the earliest production date based on the planned factory date of the parts supply can be notified to the customer as the expected delivery date.

[0066] For reference, the setting of the estimated delivery date and customer notification by the delivery date notification unit 320 is initially performed based on the production plan received from the production plan formulation unit 100. Plan revision information that is repeatedly updated according to the customer's confirmation of the vehicle order can be stored in the sales system 200. The plan revision information stored in the sales system 200 can be forwarded to the production plan formulation unit 100 after the business is closed or the sales are closed for the day, and can be applied to the formulation of the next production plan. Here, in the case of simply querying the plan revision information, there is no update to the sales system 200 or storage in the sales system 200. When the production plan formulation unit 100 first formulates the production plan, the following necessary prerequisite steps can be taken into consideration.

[0067] For example, in a delivery date notification system including a production plan formulation unit 100 that formulates a production plan once a day, the production plan formulated the previous day may be first forwarded to the sales system 200. The sales system 200 allows the delivery date notification unit 320 to notify the customer of the estimated delivery date based on the production plan received on the day. Here, although the delivery date notification unit 320 notifies the estimated delivery date, the production plan revised according to the order confirmation may be continuously updated or stored in the production plan storage unit 210. The delivery date notification unit 320 may notify the customer of the production plan updated based on the notified time.

[0068] At the end of the day's sales, no further delivery date notification and order confirmation are made. The final production plan revised according to the order confirmation is forwarded to the production plan formulation unit 100 and applied to formulate the next production plan. Afterwards, the next production plan applying the final production plan can be forwarded back to the sales system 200 and stored.

[0069] In addition, the production plan formulation unit 100 may formulate a vehicle production plan in consideration of a plan for a prerequisite procedure including vehicle registration or vehicle certification. When the prerequisite procedure is completed, the production plan formulation unit 100 may confirm the vehicle production plan. When the prerequisite procedure is not completed, the production plan formulation unit 100 may revise the vehicle production plan in consideration of the planned completion date of the next prerequisite procedure.

[0070] Here, the pre-requisite procedure is the authority to register a vehicle that can be purchased, and the completion of the pre-requisite procedure refers to the acquisition of the registration authority. Including the registration of a vehicle that can be purchased or the certification of a vehicle, the pre-requisite procedure may be a necessary procedure that a customer must obtain before driving the vehicle. For example, Singapore has a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system. COE refers to a licensing system for vehicles that was introduced to regulate the total number of vehicles in the country in order to meet the smaller land area restrictions of Singapore as a city-state.

[0071] COE refers to a certificate that gives the right to drive a vehicle, and the period of use is 10 years. When the COE expires after 10 years, the vehicle can be deregistered or a fee for an additional period of use can be paid. COEs can be obtained through competitive auctions held twice a month. In Singapore, production plans are made on the assumption that COEs are purchased in time for the auction. The present disclosure is not limited to COEs, and is assumed to include all necessary procedures that must be obtained before driving a vehicle, including vehicle registration or vehicle certification.

[0072] The production plan making part 100 may make a vehicle production plan in consideration of a plan of a pre-requisite procedure. After making the production plan, when the customer completes the pre-requisite procedure, the production plan making part 100 may confirm the vehicle production plan.

[0073] The production plan making unit 100 may make a production plan for the vehicle taking into account the completion time of the prerequisite procedures that need to be completed before making the production plan. In Singapore, COE exists as a prerequisite procedure. In Korea, when it is determined that the prerequisite procedures are not required, the production plan making unit 100 may turn off the function so that the production plan can be made without considering the planning of the prerequisite procedures.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, the production plan making unit 100 may make a production plan in consideration of the pre-requisite completion date. The pre-requisite completion date refers to the earliest completion date of the requisite, and in Singapore, may refer to the COE purchase date or the COE auction end date.

[0075] Afterwards, when the pre-requisite procedures are completed, the production planning section 100 checks the completion of the pre-requisite procedures and confirms the production plan of the vehicle ordered by the customer without changing the production plan. Production is performed according to the production plan of the vehicle confirmed by the production planning section 100, and the delivery date notification section 320 can notify the customer of a more accurate estimated delivery date.

[0076] However, when the pre-requisites are not completed, the vehicle production plan is revised in consideration of the planned completion date of the next pre-requisite. Here, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the planned completion date of the next pre-requisite refers to the next auction date among the auction dates of COEs auctioned twice a month in Singapore, and when the customer cannot bid for the COE on the next auction date, the planned completion date of the next pre-requisite refers to the auction date after the next auction date.

[0077] When a vehicle production plan is made before a prerequisite procedure is completed and the prerequisite procedure is completed before the vehicle production plan is confirmed, the production plan making unit 100 may confirm the vehicle production plan based on the prerequisite procedure completion date. When the production plan making unit 100 makes a vehicle production plan in consideration of a plan for a prerequisite procedure before the prerequisite procedure is completed, the production plan is not confirmed, and the production plan is revised in consideration of a planned completion date of the next prerequisite procedure.

[0078] However, when the customer completes the prerequisite procedure before revising the production plan in consideration of the planned completion date of the next prerequisite procedure, the production planning section 100 immediately confirms the production plan based on the prerequisite procedure completion date for production, thereby reducing labor and improving the efficiency of production planning.

[0079] The production plan formulation unit 100 can formulate a vehicle production plan based on at least one selected from the group of parts supply status, a plan of prerequisite procedures, and a customer's vehicle order date. As described above, formulating a production plan in consideration of prerequisite procedures is important for forwarding highly accurate information to customers before and after vehicle ordering. In addition, when the supply of parts for vehicle production is easy, the production plan can be accelerated, and the delivery date notification unit 320 can set an earlier delivery date. When the supply of parts is difficult, the production plan may be delayed, and the delivery date notification unit 320 can set a later delivery date. In addition, it will be understood that the parts supply status and the plan of prerequisite procedures vary with the customer's vehicle order date, and the delivery date can be changed.

[0080] The above-mentioned parts supply status, the plan of the pre-requisite procedures and the vehicle order date of the customer are illustrative and not limiting as considerations for the vehicle production plan formulated by the production plan formulation unit 100. Those skilled in the art will understand that any factors considered in formulating the production plan may be included.

[0081] Figure 6 1 is a diagram showing the formulation of a vehicle production plan based on a plan of a pre-requisite program when the production plan formulation section 100 determines that the supply of parts for vehicle production cannot be achieved.

[0082] like Figure 6As shown, when the supply of parts for vehicle production cannot be achieved, the production plan formulation unit 100 can formulate a vehicle production plan based on the plan of the prerequisite program. When the production plan formulation unit 100 formulates the vehicle production plan in consideration of the plan of the prerequisite program, a situation where the supply of vehicle parts cannot be achieved may occur. In this case, it is preferred to formulate the vehicle production plan by setting a priority order so that whether the prerequisite program is completed has a higher priority than the customer's vehicle order date.

[0083] For example, before the pre-requisites are completed, when a customer orders a vehicle on the 1st day and the 2nd day, the vehicle ordered on the 1st day has an earlier order date, so the production plan for the vehicle ordered on the 1st day is made first. However, when a customer orders a vehicle on the 1st day and the 2nd day and the pre-requisites are completed first for the customer's order on the 2nd day, the production plan for the vehicle ordered by the customer on the 2nd day is made first based on the completion date of the pre-requisites. Therefore, an accurate estimated delivery date revised according to the pre-requisite completion date information 10 can be notified.

[0084] Based on the above-mentioned integrated vehicle delivery date notification system, an integrated vehicle delivery date notification method according to an embodiment will be briefly described.

[0085] First, the production plan formulation unit 100 can formulate a vehicle production plan. Afterwards, according to the customer's request, the delivery date request unit 310 can request the estimated delivery date of the vehicle to be queried based on the formulated production plan, by requesting the delivery date that satisfies the vehicle model information and option information. The delivery date calculation unit 220 can calculate the estimated delivery date of the vehicle to be queried based on the formulated production plan, by calculating the delivery date that satisfies the vehicle model information and option information, and can revise the estimated delivery date when the production plan is revised.
