Description

Background Art

[0002] Before the production task begins, production personnel need to order materials needed for the production task in advance according to the production plan. After that, different material distribution systems will deliver different materials to the corresponding production stations.

[0003] In the related art, there are often multiple materials and multiple material distribution systems. There is a corresponding relationship between the materials and the material distribution systems. The corresponding relationship reflects which material distribution system should be used to distribute each material. The corresponding relationship is manually set by production personnel in advance according to various attributes of the materials (such as the storage location of the materials, the manufacturer of the materials, etc.). However, due to the wide variety of materials, the amount of data corresponding to their attributes may even reach millions. Manually collecting these massive attribute data and then further setting the corresponding material distribution system based on these attribute data requires a lot of time and manpower, and is prone to errors. Furthermore, if the attributes of a certain material change later, the production personnel need to reset the corresponding material distribution system before the material is distributed, and then the reset material distribution system will distribute the material, resulting in low material distribution efficiency and affecting the smoothness of the subsequent production process. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of material distribution and production process has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the technical solution of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments recorded in the application documents, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present application.

[0043] The following is an introduction to some concepts involved in the embodiments of the present application.

[0044] Production materials: All materials circulated by manufacturing enterprises in the production field, such as fuel, parts, semi-finished products, outsourced parts, etc., which are used for production tasks.

[0045] Manufacturing attribute: also known as procurement type attribute, divided into two types: make-it-yourself and purchase-it. Make-it-yourself means that the production materials are produced within the enterprise, and purchase-it-yourself means that the production materials are purchased from external suppliers.

[0046] Material distribution system: also known as the distribution execution system, it is responsible for the distribution of production materials. This application mainly includes the enterprise resource management system (English: Systems Applications and Products, SAP), the full life cycle supplier relationship management system (English: Supplier Relationship Management, SRM) and the factory's internal warehouse management system (Warehouse Management System, WMS).

[0047] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. In addition, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, it is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present application. The application scenario diagram includes two terminal devices 110 and a server 120.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 110 includes but is not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, e-book readers, intelligent voice interaction devices, smart home appliances, vehicle-mounted terminals and other devices; a client related to material distribution can be installed on the terminal device, which can be software (such as a browser, material distribution software, etc.), or a web page, a small program, etc. The server 120 is a background server corresponding to the software or web page, small program, etc., or a server specifically used for material distribution, which is not specifically limited in the present application. The server 120 can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0050] It should be noted that the material distribution method in each embodiment of the present application can be mainly executed by the server 120, and jointly executed by the terminal device 110 and the server 120. Specifically, the production personnel can select the work order corresponding to the production task on the terminal device 110, and the terminal device 110 presents all the production materials required for the current production task corresponding to the work order. After that, the production personnel can trigger the "material matching" option through the terminal device 110. In response to the selection operation triggered by the "material matching" option, the terminal device 110 sends all the production materials corresponding to the work order selected by the production personnel to the server 120. The server 120 traverses all the production materials on the work order and queries the material management data set corresponding to all the production materials.

[0051] Afterwards, for each production material, the server 120 matches the material management data set corresponding to the production material with the distribution condition set corresponding to each material distribution system, and determines the target material distribution system corresponding to each production material according to the matching result.

[0052] In an optional implementation, the terminal device 110 and the server 120 may communicate with each other via a communication network.

[0053] In an optional implementation, the communication network is a wired network or a wireless network.

[0054] It should be noted that Figure 1The figure is only an example. In fact, the number of terminal devices and servers is not limited and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0055] In addition, the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various scenarios, including but not limited to cloud technology, artificial intelligence, smart transportation and other scenarios.

[0056] The material distribution method provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present application is described below in combination with the application scenarios described above and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only shown to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of the present application, and the implementation methods of the present application are not limited in this regard.

[0057] See also Figure 2 As shown, it is an implementation flow chart of a material distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The specific implementation process of the method is as follows S201-S203:

[0058] S201: The server obtains a set of distribution conditions corresponding to each material distribution system, and obtains a set of material management data corresponding to each production material.

[0059] S202: For any production material, the server matches any production material with each material distribution system based on the material management data set corresponding to any production material and the distribution condition set corresponding to each material distribution system to obtain a target material distribution system corresponding to any production material.

[0060] In the above, each material distribution system corresponds to at least one distribution condition set, each material management data represents: the attribute information of the corresponding production material in the storage dimension or the distribution dimension, and each distribution condition represents the attribute information of the distributed production material.

[0061] In the present application, the production materials required for the production task need to be delivered to the corresponding production station by the material distribution system. There are many material distribution systems, such as SAP system, SRM system and WMS system. For each required production material, it is usually necessary to determine which material distribution system will perform the distribution task of the production material based on the attribute information of the production material, such as inventory attributes, manufacturing attributes, etc.; in order to realize the automation of this process and improve the efficiency of this process, the present application pre-sets one or more distribution condition sets for each material distribution system, which are used to match the attribute information of the production material to determine which material distribution system should distribute each production material, that is, to determine the target material distribution system corresponding to each production material.

[0062] In other words, the distribution conditions in each distribution condition set are used to limit the attribute information of the production materials distributed by the material distribution system. If the attribute information of a production material can meet all the distribution conditions in a distribution condition set, it means that the production material corresponds to the material distribution system corresponding to the distribution condition set, the production material should be distributed by the material distribution system, and the material distribution system is the target material distribution system for the production material.

[0063] Based on this method, even if the attribute information of a production material changes, it is only necessary to determine which distribution condition set the new attribute information of the production material can satisfy all the distribution conditions when matching the production material with the material distribution system, and then update the target material distribution system of the production material according to the matching result.

[0064] Next, the matching process of production materials and material distribution system is elaborated in detail.

[0065] The matching of production materials and material distribution systems is essentially the matching of the attribute information of production materials with the distribution condition set of the material distribution system.

[0066] In this application, the distribution condition set should at least include inventory conditions. For each production material, the server can obtain the inventory attribute corresponding to the production material in a material management data set corresponding to the production material. The inventory attribute is also the Just In Time (JIT) attribute. In this application, the JIT attribute is used to confirm whether the production material belongs to the internal warehouse of the enterprise or is distributed by an external supplier. In other words, the JIT attribute indicates whether the corresponding production material is specially stored in the internal warehouse of the enterprise. If so, it indicates that the production material can be directly distributed from within the enterprise. Otherwise, the production material needs to be distributed by an external supplier.

[0067] Specifically, the expression form of simplified JIT attributes can be adopted, such as numbers, letters, special symbols, etc. Taking numbers as an example, it can be set that when the JIT attribute of a production material = 0, it means that the production material is specially stored in the warehouse within the enterprise (there is inventory), and when the JIT attribute = 1, it means that there is no inventory (no inventory).

[0068] Assume that the server obtains the JIT attribute of a production material. After that, the server matches the JIT attribute of the production material with the inventory conditions in the distribution condition sets corresponding to each material distribution system, so as to determine at least one candidate distribution condition set in each distribution condition set. Specifically, the inventory conditions of the candidate distribution condition set match the JIT attribute of the production material (that is, the JIT attribute of the production material can satisfy the inventory conditions in the candidate distribution condition set); specifically, if the JIT attribute of the production material is 0, the inventory conditions in each candidate distribution condition set are all JIT attribute = 0; if the JIT attribute of the production material is 1, the inventory conditions in each candidate distribution condition set are all JIT attribute = 1.

[0069] Afterwards, the server needs to select a material distribution system from the material distribution systems corresponding to at least one candidate distribution condition set as the target material distribution system corresponding to the production material.

[0070] Taking a specific application scenario as an example, assume that there are currently three material distribution systems, namely SAP system, SRM system and WMS system. Among them, the SAP system corresponds to two distribution condition sets, namely SAP1 and SAP2, the SRM system corresponds to one distribution condition set, namely SRM1, and the WMS system corresponds to three distribution condition sets, namely WMS1, WMS2 and WMS3.

[0071] Further assume that the inventory conditions in SAP1 and SAP2 are JIT attribute = 0, the inventory conditions in SRM1 are JIT attribute = 1, the inventory conditions in WMS1 and WMS2 are JIT attribute = 0, and the inventory conditions in WMS3 are JIT attribute = 1. If the JIT attribute of a production material i to be matched is 0, the distribution condition sets that meet the conditions are SAP1, SAP2, WMS1 and WMS2. SAP1, SAP2, WMS1 and WMS2 are determined as candidate distribution condition sets. Subsequently, a target material distribution system needs to be determined in the material distribution system SAP corresponding to SAP1 and SAP2, and the material distribution system WMS corresponding to WMS1 and WMS2.

[0072] It should be noted that the above three material distribution systems are only examples, and any material distribution system that can implement the material distribution method in this application can be applicable to this application, and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0073] There are two main ways to determine the target material distribution system corresponding to the production material from the material distribution systems corresponding to at least one candidate distribution condition set. The two ways correspond to two different matching situations, which will be explained below respectively.

[0074] Case 1: If the inventory condition in a certain distribution condition set has the JIT attribute = 0, then the distribution condition set will also include the storage location condition accordingly; in other words, if the JIT attribute of a production material is 0 (that is, the inventory status of the production material is in stock), then each candidate distribution condition set corresponding to the production material also includes the storage location condition; at this time, the matching range can be further narrowed down based on the storage location condition to determine the target material distribution system corresponding to the production material from the material distribution systems corresponding to at least one candidate distribution condition set.

[0075] An optional implementation is that the server can determine the warehouse configuration data corresponding to the manufacturing attributes based on the manufacturing attributes in the material management data set corresponding to a production material; then, the server queries whether the warehouse configuration data contains a storage location corresponding to the above-mentioned production material, and uses the material distribution system corresponding to the candidate distribution condition set whose corresponding storage location conditions match the query results as the target material distribution system.

[0076] In the above, the manufacturing attribute is also called the procurement type attribute, which is divided into self-made and purchased. Self-made means that the production materials are produced within the enterprise, and purchased means that the production materials are purchased from external suppliers. If the manufacturing attribute corresponding to a production material is self-made, you can query whether the self-made parts warehouse configuration data contains the storage location corresponding to the above production material; if the manufacturing attribute corresponding to a production material is purchased, you can query whether the purchased parts warehouse configuration data contains the storage location corresponding to the above production material.

[0077] Similar to JIT attributes, numbers, letters, special symbols, etc. can also be used to simplify the expression of manufacturing attributes. Taking letters as an example, when the manufacturing attribute of a production material = E, it means that the production material is a self-made part, and when the manufacturing attribute = F, it means that the production material is a purchased part.

[0078] It should be noted that the above-mentioned procurement types are just examples, and this application is not limited to the above-mentioned two procurement types.

[0079] There are mainly two types of storage location conditions, namely, the storage location corresponding to the production material is included in the corresponding warehouse configuration data, or the storage location corresponding to the production material is not included in the warehouse configuration data. The specific form of the warehouse configuration data can be a table (warehouse configuration table), etc., which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0080] Continuing with the assumptions in the previous specific application scenario, since the inventory conditions of SAP1, SAP2, WMS1 and WMS2 are JIT attributes = 0, the four distribution condition sets of SAP1, SAP2, WMS1 and WMS2 also include a storage location condition respectively.

[0081] Assume that the storage location condition of SAP1 is: the storage location corresponding to the current production material is not included in the warehouse configuration data of self-made parts; the storage location condition of SAP2 is: the storage location corresponding to the current production material is not included in the warehouse configuration data of purchased parts; the storage location condition of WMS1 is: the storage location corresponding to the current production material is included in the warehouse configuration data of self-made parts; the storage location condition of WMS2 is: the storage location corresponding to the current production material is included in the warehouse configuration data of purchased parts.

[0082] Further assuming that the manufacturing attribute of production material i = F, that is, production material i is a purchased part, then the purchased part warehouse configuration data is queried. If the purchased part warehouse configuration data contains the storage location corresponding to production material i, the WMS system corresponding to WMS2 is determined to be the target material distribution system corresponding to production material i.

[0083] For example, assuming that the candidate distribution condition set corresponding to production material j is also SAP1, SAP2, WMS1 and WMS2, and further assuming that the manufacturing attribute of production material j = E, that is, production material j is a self-made part, then the self-made part warehouse configuration data is queried. If the self-made part warehouse configuration data does not contain the storage location corresponding to production material j, then the SAP system corresponding to SAP1 is determined to be the target material distribution system corresponding to production material j.

[0084] Case 2: If the inventory condition in a certain delivery condition set has the JIT attribute = 1, then the delivery condition set will also include the delivery condition accordingly; in other words, if the JIT attribute of a production material is 1 (that is, the inventory status of the production material is no inventory), then each candidate delivery condition set corresponding to the production material also includes the delivery condition; at this time, the matching range can be further narrowed down based on the delivery condition to determine the target material delivery system corresponding to the production material from the material delivery systems corresponding to at least one candidate delivery condition set.

[0085] It should be noted that, since production materials with JIT attribute = 1 need to be delivered by corresponding external suppliers, it is assumed in this application that all production materials with JIT attribute = 1 can be matched with the corresponding supplier information.

[0086] An optional implementation is that the server obtains the delivery method attribute in the material management data set corresponding to a production material, and matches the delivery method attribute with the delivery conditions corresponding to at least one candidate delivery condition set; finally, based on each matching result, one is selected from the material delivery systems corresponding to at least one candidate delivery condition set as the target material delivery system corresponding to any production material.

[0087] In the above, the delivery method attribute includes a first delivery method and a second delivery method, and the first delivery method and the second delivery method are the delivery methods of the supplier pre-set for the production materials, wherein the first delivery method is the default delivery method and the second delivery method is a dedicated delivery method; the dedicated delivery method (i.e., the second delivery method) can be recorded in the supplier supply mode configuration table, and the supplier supply mode configuration table of a production material can be queried based on the relevant information of the production material (such as the identification number of the production material) + the relevant information of the supplier, and the default delivery method (i.e., the first delivery method) can be recorded in the supplier basic configuration table, and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0088] A first distribution method and a second distribution method of a production material each include a material distribution system. The server can obtain the respective priorities of the first distribution method and the second distribution method, and determine which distribution method's recorded material distribution system is used as the target material distribution system according to each priority.

[0089] Exemplarily, the delivery method corresponding to the highest priority among the first delivery method and the second delivery method corresponding to a production material can be matched with the delivery conditions corresponding to at least one candidate delivery condition set; then, a target delivery condition set is selected from at least one candidate delivery condition set based on the matching result, and the material delivery system corresponding to the target delivery condition set is used as the target material delivery system, wherein the matching result corresponding to the target delivery condition set is: the delivery conditions of the target delivery condition set match the delivery method corresponding to the highest priority.

[0090] The distribution condition mentioned above is that the material distribution system included in the distribution method corresponding to the highest priority is the material distribution system corresponding to this distribution condition set. That is, if the material distribution system included in the distribution method corresponding to the highest priority of a production material is material distribution system α, then material distribution system α is used as the target material distribution system for the production material; if the material distribution system included in the distribution method corresponding to the highest priority of a production material is material distribution system β, then material distribution system β is used as the target material distribution system for the production material.

[0091] Exemplarily, the priority corresponding to the second distribution method may be set as the highest priority, that is, the material distribution system included in the second distribution method of a production material is used as the target material distribution system of the production material.

[0092] In addition, it can be set that a production material corresponds to at least one distribution method. If a production material corresponds to both the first distribution method and the second distribution method, and the priority corresponding to the second distribution method is set to the highest priority, the material distribution system included in the second distribution method shall be used as the target material distribution system for the production material. If a production material only corresponds to one distribution method, the distribution method corresponding to the highest priority is the distribution method itself. Therefore, the material distribution system included in the distribution method shall be directly used as the target material distribution system for the production material. For example, if a production material only corresponds to the first distribution method, the material distribution system included in the first distribution method shall be used as the target material distribution system for the production material.

[0093] For example, when the priority corresponding to the second distribution method is set to the highest priority, it can also be determined first whether the production material corresponds to the second distribution method. If so, the material distribution system included in the second distribution method will be used as the target material distribution system for the production material; if not, the material distribution system included in the first distribution method will be used as the target material distribution system for the production material.

[0094] The above methods of determining the target material distribution system based on the distribution method attributes are all applicable to this application. When applied specifically, they can be selected based on the needs of the actual application scenario, and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0095] Following the assumptions in the previous specific application scenario, since the inventory conditions in SRM1 and WMS3 are JIT attributes = 1, SRM1 and WMS3 also contain a distribution condition. The distribution condition of SRM1 is: among the first and second distribution methods corresponding to production materials, the distribution method with the highest priority includes the material distribution system of the SRM system; the distribution condition of WMS3 is: among the first and second distribution methods corresponding to production materials, the distribution method with the highest priority includes the material distribution system of the WMS system.

[0096] Assuming that the JIT attribute of production material k = 1, SRM1 and WMS3 are the candidate distribution condition sets corresponding to production material k. Further assuming that the distribution method attributes corresponding to production material k include the first distribution method (default distribution method) and the second distribution method (dedicated distribution method), among which the second distribution method (that is, the dedicated distribution method) has the highest priority, and the material distribution system included in the second distribution method is the SRM system, then the distribution method attributes of production material k can be matched with the distribution conditions of SRM1 (that is, the material distribution system included in the second distribution method of production material k matches the distribution conditions of SRM1), then SRM1 is the target distribution condition set, and SRM is the target material distribution system for production material k.

[0097] S203: The server distributes any production material based on the target material distribution system.

[0098] After determining the target material distribution system for the production materials, the server can send the target material distribution system corresponding to each production material to the terminal device for display. The server then controls each material distribution system to distribute the corresponding production materials.

[0099] If it is detected during the matching process that the attribute information of the production materials is missing, such as manufacturing attributes, JIT attributes, the first delivery method or the second delivery method, the server can send a prompt to the terminal device that the relevant attribute information is missing, and the terminal device displays the prompt that the attribute information is missing to remind the production personnel to supplement the relevant information and then re-match the operation.

[0100] In summary, the key to this application is to provide an algorithm model for automatic identification of attribute information, warehouses, material supplier information and material distribution systems for production materials, which can efficiently cope with high-frequency bills of materials and complex production material information. The algorithm model can quickly allocate corresponding material distribution systems for production materials according to the material number, JIT attributes, procurement type attributes, warehouse codes, supplier supply mode configuration tables, and supplier basic configuration tables of the production materials; the server can provide standard input and output interfaces, make full use of system resources and resource recovery mechanisms, build high-concurrency and high-availability service resources, and realize parallel processing across bills of materials and multiple materials; by automatically identifying the attribute information of production materials, the target material distribution system can be accurately identified. The entire process does not require human intervention, and supports batch high-availability business models, simplifies business processes, and greatly improves material distribution efficiency and the accuracy of related data, thereby saving a lot of time and labor costs.

[0101] Specifically, for materials with JIT attribute = 0, the warehouse configuration table can be used to split the business scope between various material distribution systems (such as SAP and WMS systems) based on the warehouse dimension. This has strong support for the company's operation management pilot and cost management improvement. In terms of business splitting and merging, it is only necessary to maintain the corresponding storage locations, which greatly reduces the workload of logistics planners and reduces risks.

[0102] For materials with JIT attribute = 1, the supplier supply mode configuration table can be used to split the business scope between various material distribution systems (such as WMS and SRM systems) based on the supplier dimension. For logistics planners, the original data maintenance volume of millions can be reduced to hundreds of data maintenance based on the supplier dimension. At the same time, for some production materials with unconventional distribution, only the supplier supply mode configuration table needs to be maintained, and no maintenance is required unless there are special circumstances. This mode completely relieves the work pressure of logistics planners and brings great convenience.

[0103] Furthermore, the method proposed in the present application can quickly adapt to changes in material distribution modes. If the attribute information of a production material changes, it is only necessary to match the distribution conditions according to the new attribute information during matching. This method facilitates enterprises to quickly adapt to actual business development needs in subsequent production, and can cope with flexible adjustments to the attribute information of production materials. It only needs to adjust the warehouse configuration table or the supplier supply mode configuration table to achieve seamless switching of the target material distribution system of production materials between various material distribution systems.

[0104] Based on the above process, Figure 3 As shown, it is an overall flow chart of another material distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Taking a production material as an example, the material distribution system includes a SAP system, an SRM system and a WMS system. The distribution conditions corresponding to the three systems follow the previous assumptions. The second distribution method (i.e., the dedicated distribution method in the supplier supply mode configuration table) has a higher priority than the first distribution method (i.e., the default distribution method in the supplier basic configuration table). The server specifically performs the following steps:

[0105] Step 301: Obtain the attribute information of the production material.

[0106] Among them, the attribute information may include inventory attributes (also known as JIT attributes), manufacturing attributes (also known as procurement type attributes), distribution method attributes, and may further include the identification number of the production material (also known as the material number), and the warehouse code (when the production material is stored in a warehouse within the enterprise, the warehouse code is the coding information corresponding to the warehouse).

[0107] Inventory attributes and manufacturing attributes can be provided by the SAP system. WMS manages the warehouse codes corresponding to self-made parts and purchased parts. The supplier basic configuration table and supplier supply mode configuration table can be provided by a production information management system (English: Manufacturing Execution System, MES) for the workshop execution layer of manufacturing enterprises.

[0108] Step 302: Determine the inventory attribute of the production material. If the inventory attribute is 0, execute step 303; if the inventory attribute is 1, execute step 308.

[0109] Step 303: Determine the manufacturing attribute of the production material. If the manufacturing attribute is E, execute step 304; if the manufacturing attribute is F, execute step 306.

[0110] Step 304: Obtain the self-made parts warehouse configuration table.

[0111] Step 305: Determine whether the self-made parts warehouse configuration table contains the storage location corresponding to the production material. If so, execute step 311; otherwise, execute step 312.

[0112] Step 306: Obtain the purchased parts warehouse configuration table.

[0113] Step 307: Determine whether the purchased parts warehouse configuration table contains the storage location corresponding to the production material. If so, execute step 311; otherwise, execute step 312.

[0114] Step 308: Determine whether the production material corresponds to a supplier supply mode configuration table. If so, execute step 309; otherwise, execute step 310.

[0115] Step 309: Determine whether the material distribution system included in the supplier supply mode configuration details is a WMS system. If so, execute step 311; otherwise, execute step 313.

[0116] Step 310: Determine whether the material distribution system included in the supplier basic configuration table details is a WMS system. If so, execute step 311; otherwise, execute step 313.

[0117] Step 311: Use the WMS system as the target material distribution system for the production material.

[0118] Step 312: Use the SAP system as the target material distribution system for the production material.

[0119] Step 313: Use the SRM system as the target material distribution system for the production material.
