[0022] (Implementation Method)

[0023] Hereinafter, the production management system according to the present embodiment will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The production management system is a system that counts the number of completed jobs performed by an operator, changes the operator's avatar 5 in accordance with a value obtained by multiplying the counted value by a coefficient (hereinafter referred to as a "score"), and displays it on a display device 4. According to the production management system, since the operator can change the avatar 5 by completing the job, it is not only possible to complete the job, but also to give the element that causes the avatar 5 to change, thereby increasing the motivation (motivation) for the job. Moreover, since the coefficient can be set corresponding to the operator, it is possible to set obstacles to the score, thereby reducing inequality in obtaining scores among multiple operators. As a result, even an operator who only performs a job such as a repetitive monotonous job can increase motivation, thereby increasing concentration on the job. As a result, among operators, the speed of the job can be increased, and an increase in production capacity can be expected.

[0025] In the following embodiments, a production management device 100 is used for explanation, in which most functions of a production management system are integrated in one chassis. However, as a production management system, it is not necessary to integrate multiple functions in one chassis. For example, the components of the production management system may be dispersed in multiple chassis. In addition, some functions of the production management system may also be implemented through the cloud (cloud computing) or the like.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the entire system including the production management device 100 includes a data input unit 3, the production management device 100, and a display device 4. The data input unit 3, the production management device 100, and the display device 4 are connected to each other in a communicable manner via wires or wirelessly.

[0027] The operation performed by the operator can be, for example, a process on a product production line. The operation is performed repeatedly by the operator, for example, the result of completing an operation is placed on a conveyor belt to be passed to the next operator. The result of completing an operation can be one or more. In addition, the "operation" in this specification is not limited to the operation along the production line, for example, it can also be the operation of collecting the result of completing an operation into a storage box. That is, with respect to the "operation", it is sufficient as long as the completion of an operation can be counted.

[0028] (Data input unit 3)

[0029] The data input unit 3 inputs the number of completed operations performed by the operator into the system. The data input unit 3 involved in the present embodiment detects the results produced by completing the operation, and based on this, inputs the completion number "1" into the production management device 100. The data input unit 3 can be, for example, a sensor installed on a conveyor belt. As sensors, for example, non-contact sensors such as photoelectric sensors that are arranged in a manner that intersects with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, contact sensors such as pressure-sensitive sensors, cameras, infrared sensors, laser sensors, various displacement sensors, etc. can be cited. In addition, with respect to the data input unit 3, counting can also be performed by object recognition of camera images.

[0030] The data input unit 3 is not limited to inputting the completion number "1" based on the detection of one result by the sensor. For example, in the case where multiple results are produced in one operation, the completion number "1" may be input based on the detection of all the multiple results. In addition, in the case of an operation such as "cutting vegetables", the cut vegetables become the results, and the completion number "1" may be input based on the cut vegetables exceeding a specified weight.

[0031] The data input unit 3 can also determine the degree of completion of the work product, and input the completion number "1" based on the determination that it is completed. Therefore, for defective products, they do not need to be input as the completion number. The determination of the degree of completion can be automatically determined by the system function, or it can be determined by the operator of the next process on the production line. For defective products, they can be processed in a manner that they are not input as the completion number, or they can be processed by temporarily including the defective products as the completion number and then subtracting the number of defective products from the total number of completions.

[0032] The data input unit 3 may not automatically detect the number of completed jobs through a sensor. The data input unit 3 may be an input device for an operator or a manager to input that a job has been completed. Examples of the input device include a mouse, a keyboard, a microphone, a touch panel, and the like.

[0033] The data of the number of completions inputted by the data input unit 3 is transmitted from the data input unit 3 to the production management device 100 .

[0034] (Production Management Device 100)

[0035] The production management device 100 performs processing on graphics and the like based on the number of completed jobs sent from the data input unit 3, and displays it on the display device 4. The production management device 100 includes, for example, a personal computer or a server computer. That is, the production management device 100 includes a computer system having one or more processors and a memory. At least a portion of the functions of the production management device 100 is realized by executing a program recorded in the memory of the computer system by the processor of the computer system. The program can be recorded in the memory, provided via an electrical communication line such as the Internet, or provided by recording in a non-temporary recording medium such as a memory card.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown in , the production management device 100 includes: a processing unit 1 that performs processing of the production management device 100; and a storage unit 2. The processing unit 1 is implemented by a processor that performs various processing according to a program stored in a storage space. Examples of the processor include a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a microprocessor, and the like.

[0037] The storage unit 2 stores information processed by the production management device 100. The storage unit 2 is implemented by, for example, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), etc. Alternatively, the storage unit 2 may be implemented by a combination of these.

[0038] The processing unit 1 includes a receiving unit 11, a counting unit 12, a computing unit 13, a title determination unit 14, and a display unit 15. The receiving unit 11, the counting unit 12, the computing unit 13, the title determination unit 14, and the display unit 15 only represent functions implemented by the production management device 100, and do not necessarily represent a physical structure.

[0039] The receiving unit 11 receives the data of the number of completed operations sent from the data input unit 3. When the receiving unit 11 receives the data of the number of completed operations from the data input unit 3, the receiving unit 11 sets the operator and the number of completed operations as information associated with each other, and outputs the information of the number of completed operations to the counting unit 12. When there are multiple operators, the receiving unit 11 receives the data of the number of completed operations by distinguishing each operator, and sets the operator and the number of completed operations as information associated with each other.

[0040] The counting unit 12 counts the number of completions received by the receiving unit 11. When the number of completions "1" of the job performed by the operator is input, the counting unit 12 counts the number of completions by +1 (the numerical value obtained by counting is sometimes referred to as "count value"). In addition, when the number of completions of the job generated by the execution of the job within a certain period of time is input from the data input unit 3, the corresponding numerical values ​​of 2 or more are counted. For example, when the number of completions "10" is input, the counting unit 12 counts the count value "+10". Information on the count value counted by the counting unit 12 is output to the calculation unit 13.

[0041] The calculation unit 13 calculates the score by multiplying the count value input from the counting unit 12 by a coefficient set by the operator. The coefficient set by the operator is a set value for reducing the difference in the score. The coefficient is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.7 or more and 2 or less, more preferably 0.8 or more and 1.5 or less, and further preferably 0.9 or more and 1.3 or less.

[0042] The coefficient is preferably set by a person who manages a plurality of operators. Examples of the person who manages a plurality of operators include a production line manager, a supervisor, a general manager, and the like.

[0043] The factors to be considered as coefficients include, for example, physical impairment, age, workplace, position, concurrent work, years of work, position, qualification, height, weight, gender, athletic ability, etc. Examples of physical impairment include disabled persons, people with impaired vision, and people with hearing impairment.

[0044] In addition, the factor to be considered as a coefficient is not limited to one factor, and multiple factors may be multiplied to set the coefficient. For example, the coefficient may be calculated by setting an index related to the location as a first index and an index related to the attributes of the operator as a second index, and then multiplying the first index by the second index.

[0045] As location-related indexes, for example, whether the workplace is near a business telephone, whether the workplace is near a parts procurement site, whether there are interruptions to the business, whether the working environment is harsh, whether it is easy to use defective or inferior products for work, whether it is necessary to operate the machine's operating panel separately from the work, whether the operator is responsible for recovery operations for machine failures or errors, whether the business content is special, whether the operability of the equipment used is good, and whether the operability or work efficiency corresponding to the product is good.

[0046] The index related to the attributes of the operator may be set by taking into consideration, for example, the number of years of experience, whether the operator is good at working at different heights, whether the operator has physical disabilities, whether the operator has special abilities and needs to be responsible for other things besides work.

[0047] Alternatively, the coefficient may be set based on calorie consumption. For example, the coefficient may be calculated by setting an index related to a location as a first index and an index taking calorie consumption per operation into consideration as a second index, and multiplying the first index and the second index.

[0048] The coefficients are recorded in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of operators in the storage unit 2. When the operator belongs to a department in the company, not only the coefficients but also the department to which the operator belongs are stored in the storage unit 2 in correspondence with the operator.

[0049] When the information of the count value is input from the counting unit 12, the calculation unit 13 refers to the operator name (including the ID corresponding to the operator) to obtain the coefficient corresponding to the operator from the storage unit 2. Then, the calculation unit 13 multiplies the count value by the coefficient to calculate the score. The calculation unit 13 outputs the information of the score obtained by the calculation to the title determination unit 14.

[0050] The title determination unit 14 determines the title based on the score and assigns the title to the operator. The storage unit 2 stores a determination table used when determining the title. Figure 2 As shown in , the determination table establishes a correspondence between the required score as the score threshold and the title and level. The title determination unit 14 refers to the determination table and determines the title based on the score. For example, when the score is "25", the title determination unit 14 determines "Gui Ma" with a required score of "20" or more as the title of the operator. After the determination, the title determination unit 14 assigns the determined title and level to the operator name. Information related to the title assigned to the operator name is output to the display unit 15.

[0051] In addition, as a title, Figure 2 As shown in the text, one can cite infantry, fragrant chariots, laurel horses, silver generals, gold generals, horn-shaped generals, flying chariots, king generals, gods, legends, etc., but these are just examples and there is no particular limitation.

[0052] The display unit 15 changes the avatar 5 of the corresponding operator according to the title determined by the title determination unit 14, and displays it on the display device 4. That is, the display unit 15 displays the avatar 5 that changes according to the score on the display device 4.

[0053] The avatar 5 is set for each operator. Examples of the avatar 5 include humans, animals, characters similar to the operator, plants, machines, and fantasy characters (e.g., dragons, unicorns, etc.). The operator can select a desired avatar 5 from the avatar 5 displayed on the display unit 15, and all operators can be the same character. In addition, the avatar 5 obtained by the operator alone can be loaded into the system using a USB memory or the like.

[0054] The so-called change of the avatar 5 refers to the change in the graphics. Examples of the change include changes in the posture of the avatar 5, changes in movements, changes in clothing or clothing, changes in the body, changes in transportation, changes in color, etc. Examples of changes in posture include changes in posture to sitting, half-squatting, standing, etc. Examples of changes in movements include changes in walking, running, jumping, flying, swimming, dancing, laughing, crying, sleeping, etc. Examples of clothing include crowns, medals, badges, weapons, protective gear, masks, capes, etc. Examples of changes in the body include increases in muscle mass, changes in hair color, height, and changes in appearance of things of the same type in concept (for example, dog → horse → lion). Examples of changes in transportation include changes in the transportation that the avatar 5 rides. Examples of transportation include changes in types such as tricycles, bicycles, motorcycles, cars, airplanes, etc., or changes within a type (light cars → ordinary cars → luxury cars).

[0055] The display unit 15 involved in this embodiment changes the avatar 5 according to the title determined by the title determination unit 14, but it is also possible to change the avatar 5 when the score exceeds a certain value, without being limited to the determination of the title. For example, the action can be changed when the score reaches a well-spaced value such as 100 points. In addition, the avatar 5 can be gradually changed as the score increases by 1 point.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the display unit 15 preferably displays a plurality of avatars 5 on one display screen. The plurality of avatars 5 are respectively assigned to different operators. Figure 7As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the display unit 15 preferably causes the avatar 5 with the most points to wear a crown 8 or other wearing items. With such a configuration, not only the changes in the avatar 5 of the operator himself can be visually confirmed, but also the avatars 5 of other operators can be visually confirmed, thereby arousing a competitive spirit. As a result, the motivation for work can be increased, and the work speed can be increased.

[0057] In addition, if Figure 7 As shown in , the display unit 15 can also display a total value obtained by adding up the count values ​​of multiple operators. The display unit 15, for example, displays "Total" in the upper right corner of the screen, and displays the total value of the count values ​​of multiple operators adjacent to it. For example, by displaying multiple operators belonging to the same department on a display screen, the total count value of each department can be displayed. The total count value of a department can also be said to be the proficiency of the department in the operation, so the manager of the production line can refer to the total count value of the department to study the configuration of the operators in the production line. In addition, the total value of the count value of each department can also be taken into a business intelligence (BI, Business Intelligence) tool and displayed in a chart.

[0058] (Display device 4)

[0059] The display device 4 controls the display screen through the display unit 15 of the production management device 100. The display screen of the display device 4 is displayed based on the information related to the avatar 5 output from the display unit 15. The display device 4 can be a large display set in a place where multiple operators can often see it, or it can be a small display set in each workplace of the operator. In addition, as the display device 4, a terminal owned by each operator can also be used. As the display device 4, for example, a monitor, a display, a touch display, a projector, a smart phone, a tablet terminal, a laptop computer, VR glasses, a head-mounted display, etc. can be cited.

[0060] (flow chart)

[0061] Next, an example of the operation of the production management device 100 according to the present embodiment will be described based on a flowchart.

[0062] The management method using the production management device 100 (sometimes referred to as "production management method") is to sequentially perform a preparation step (ST1), an acceptance step (ST2, ST3), a counting step (ST4), a calculation step (ST5), a display step (ST6, ST7, ST8), and a saving step (ST9).

[0063] In the preparation step, preparation is performed for the production management device 100. In the preparation step, initial settings are performed, and worker registration and target values ​​corresponding to the workers are set (ST1).

[0064] exist Figure 4 An example of a screen for performing initial settings (hereinafter referred to as a setting screen) is shown in FIG. The setting screen includes a status area 6 for displaying the status, an area for arranging a plurality of avatars 5, and a plurality of input boxes 61 and 62 corresponding to each avatar 5. The plurality of avatars 5 correspond to the work places on the work line. Figure 4 , the following situation is shown: when there are work places along the work line in the order of the first work place, the second work place, the third work place, and the fourth work place, "employee A" is arranged at the first work place, "employee B" is arranged at the second work place, "employee C" is arranged at the third work place, and "employee D" is arranged at the fourth work place. The employee number is input in the upper input box 61 of the input boxes 61 and 62, and the target value of the operator is input in the lower input box 62. When the employee number is input in the upper input box 61, the name of the operator assigned to the employee number (displayed as "employee A", "employee B", etc. in the example in the figure) is read from the storage unit 2 and displayed.

[0065] In the status area 6, "Target value", "Performance", "Count", "Score", "Lv (hereinafter referred to as level)", "Title", and "Comments" are displayed. The "Target value" is the target value of the number of jobs completed by the operator (count value). The target value is linked to the input box 62 on the lower side, and reflects the numerical value entered in the input box 62 on the lower side. "Actual" displays the total value of the number of jobs completed (count value) in the corresponding workplace. For example, in a workplace, the first and second operators are sometimes replaced according to time periods. In this case, the "Performance" displays the count value of the first person and the total of the count value of the second person. "Count" displays the number of jobs completed (count value). "Score" displays the score of the operator. The level displays the level value corresponding to the operator's score. "Title" displays the title corresponding to the operator's score. "Comments" display such as Figure 3 The notes corresponding to the names are shown in the table.

[0066] By completing various settings for the operator on the setting screen and pressing the "Start Production" button, the preparation steps are completed. The screen at this time is shown in Figure 5 In the initial setting, since the score is zero, each avatar 5 is in a half-squatting position. In addition, when inheriting the content of the previous operation, by pressing the "Read last data" button, the state when the last operation was completed is automatically input.

[0067] In the acceptance step, after production starts, the completion of the work by the operator is accepted (ST2, ST3). When the operator completes one work, the data of the number of completions is input from the data input unit 3 to the acceptance unit 11.

[0068] Next, a counting step of counting the number of completed jobs is executed. In the counting step, the number of completed jobs accepted in the accepting step can be counted to obtain a count value. As described above, the count value is reflected in "Actual Performance" and "Count" in the status area 6.

[0069] Next, a calculation step (ST5) is performed to calculate a score based on the count value. In the calculation step, the score can be calculated by multiplying the count value by a coefficient. The score is reflected in the "score" of the status area 6.

[0070] Next, the display step is performed. In the display step, reference Figure 2 Then, based on the determined level and title, the "title" and "level" of the status area 6 are updated.

[0071] At this time, if the level is raised, an upgrade performance is performed (ST7, ST8). Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , as an upgrade performance, the avatar 5 is shown to rotate (see the avatar of employee A). Figure 7 As shown in , as an upgrade performance, a glittering graphic display 7 (see the avatar of employee D) can also be performed. In addition, a crown 8 is worn on the avatar 5 with the most "counts" (count values) at this time.

[0072] The display screen during the push operation is shown in Figure 8 .like Figure 8 As shown in , as the level increases, the posture of avatar 5 changes from half-squatting. Here, since employee D's level is "1" and his title is "Infantryman", avatar 5 is half-squatting. On the other hand, since employee C's level is "4" and his title is "Silver General", avatar 5 changes to a walking posture. In addition, although employee C has the highest "count" (count value) of "53", the "score" (score) obtained by multiplying the count value by the coefficient is lower than that of employee B. Specifically, the coefficient of employee B is set to 1.2, and the coefficient of employee C is set to 0.7.

[0073] Next, the display screen when the operation is further advanced is shown in Fig. 9 .like Fig. 9 As shown in , since the "score" (score) of employee B has reached the target, a carpet is laid under the avatar 5. Furthermore, since employee B's level is "10" and his title is "Legend", he changes to a posture of running at full speed.

[0074] The processing from ST3 to ST9 is executed in an instant, and the user presses the "Save and End" button to save the state of the operator at that time in the storage unit 2. In addition, at the next startup, the stored state is read in the initial setting, so that the state at the end time can be inherited (ST9).

[0075] The status stored here is stored in a database format or the like. In addition, the stored status can also be stored as a daily report corresponding to a date. Specifically, the status is stored as a data table. If an example of a data table stored in the storage unit 2 is shown, Fig.10 As shown in the table, the items include report ID, report number, department ID, position ID, employee ID, level, EXP (experience value), production performance, score, production time, update time, employee name, target value, obstacle (person), cleared score threshold, title, notes, obstacle (place), etc.

[0076] In addition, the score is stored in association with the employee name (employee ID) and the department ID. The department ID is associated with the department name in the department table, for example. Obstacle (body) is set as an obstacle related to a person, and Obstacle (place) is set as an obstacle related to a place.

[0077] (Variation Example)

[0078] The above-mentioned embodiment is only one of various embodiments of the present invention. As long as the purpose of the present invention can be achieved, various changes can be made to the embodiment according to the design, etc. The following lists the modified examples of the embodiment. The modified examples described below can be appropriately combined and applied.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the avatars 5 are arranged in a row on the display screen of the display device 4, but for example, when the production line flows in a U-shape, the avatars 5 may be arranged in a U-shape to match the flow of the production line. That is, the avatars 5 may be arranged in a configuration to match the production line.

[0080] The production management method according to the above-mentioned embodiment includes a preparation step, a receiving step, a counting step, a calculation step, a display step, and a storage step, but the preparation step and the storage step may not be included.

[0081] In the above embodiment, when the goal is achieved, a carpet is laid under the avatar 5, but the avatar 5 may also be equipped with a necklace, for example.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the crown 8 is worn by the avatar 5 with the most "counts" (count value) at the time of the operation, but the avatar 5 may be illuminated by a spotlight to make it glow. In addition, the wearing of the crown 8 and the illumination of the spotlight may be performed at the same time. In addition, the wearing of the crown 8 or the illumination of the spotlight may be performed on the avatar 5 with the most points instead of the avatar 5 with the most "counts" (count value) at the time of the operation.

[0083] A medal may be awarded to the avatar 5 whose count value or score increment has been updated to the best value at regular intervals (for example, one hour) from the start. This can be expected to improve the work speed of the operator.

[0084] In the above embodiment, in the initial setting, the operator is assigned to the avatar 5 by inputting the employee number, but instead of inputting the employee number, the operator name can be determined by, for example, an employee ID card with a built-in IC chip or RFID, a QR code (registered trademark), etc., and assigned to the avatar.

[0085] The number of medals obtained, the number of crowns obtained, etc. may be recorded in the storage unit 2 and output as a report when evaluating the operator.

[0086] (Summarize)

[0087] As described above, the production management device 100 involved in the first method includes: an acceptance unit 11, which accepts the completion of the work by the operator; a counting unit 12, which counts the number of completions accepted by the acceptance unit 11; a calculation unit 13, which multiplies the value counted by the counting unit 12 by a coefficient set according to the operator to obtain a score; and a display unit 15, which displays the avatar 5 that changes according to the score on the display device 4.

[0088] According to this method, since the avatar 5 changes according to the score, the operator can use the change of his / her avatar 5 as motivation to perform the work. In addition, since the score is a value obtained by multiplying the coefficient set according to the operator, the ease of changing the avatar 5 can be adjusted, thereby reducing the inequality between each operator. As a result, the motivation of the operator who repeatedly performs the same work can be improved.

[0089] In the production management device 100 according to the second embodiment, in addition to the first embodiment, the receiving unit 11 can receive the work completion numbers of a plurality of workers, the calculation unit 13 acquires the scores of the plurality of workers, and the display unit 15 causes one display device 4 to display a plurality of avatars 5 .

[0090] According to this aspect, it is possible to give a competitive spirit to other workers, thereby further improving the motivation for work.

[0091] In the production management device 100 according to the third embodiment, in addition to the second embodiment, the display unit 15 displays a total value obtained by summing up the values ​​counted by the plurality of workers for the completed work on the display device 4 .

[0092] According to this aspect, since the count value of the number of completed jobs can be displayed as a total value for a plurality of workers, a manager or the like can consider the arrangement of workers in a production line or the like in units of a plurality of workers.

[0093] In the production management device 100 according to the fourth aspect, in addition to any one of the first to third aspects, when the score becomes equal to or greater than a threshold value, the display unit 15 changes the avatar 5 as a change according to the score.

[0094] According to this aspect, a threshold value for changing the avatar 5 can be set, making it easy to control the motivation of the operator.

[0095] The production management method involved in the fifth mode includes: an acceptance step, accepting the completion of the work by the operator; a counting step, counting the number of completions accepted by the acceptance step; a calculation step, multiplying the value counted by the counting step by a coefficient set according to the operator to obtain a score; and a display step, displaying an avatar 5 that changes according to the score on the display device 4.

[0096] According to this aspect, the motivation of a worker who repeatedly performs the same work can be improved.

[0097] The program according to the sixth aspect is a program for causing at least one processor to execute each step of the production management method according to the fifth aspect.

[0098] According to this aspect, it is possible to provide a program that can improve the motivation of a worker who repeatedly performs the same task.

[0099] In the production management device 100 according to the seventh aspect, the score is stored in association with the employee name (employee ID) and the department ID.

[0100] According to this method, the accumulated value obtained by each employee so far can be managed for each manufacturing department. Therefore, the manager or the like can understand the proficiency and experience value of each employee in each manufacturing department.
