[0002] Due to the inconsistency of information such as models and transportation cycles of construction machinery equipment sold in overseas markets, the production cycles of various equipment are also different. The mode of arranging production and shipment after receiving confirmed orders from overseas countries is often difficult to meet customers' timeliness requirements. Early production is prone to produce construction machinery equipment that is not the product configuration required by the market, resulting in an increase in inventory.

[0003] To address the above issues, the existing method is that the overseas market functional managers initiate stocking requirements based on their personal experience, transmit demand plans through offline forms, and the back-end production staff arrange production after making overall adjustments to the requirements based on their experience. The marketing staff frequently communicate with the production staff by phone about the production progress and demand changes until the goods arrive at the overseas warehouse and complete the sales. However, the above method often results in the equipment that is in demand in the front market being out of stock in the back, resulting in customer loss. At the same time, spot sales are often promoted only after the equipment arrives at the local warehouse, resulting in a low inventory turnover rate. Summary of the invention

[0045] See also Figure 1 , is a demand processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The demand processing method can be executed by a demand processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The demand processing device can be implemented in software and / or hardware, such as a computing device such as a computer or a server. In this embodiment, the execution subject of the demand processing method is a computing device as an example. The demand processing method provided in this embodiment includes:

[0046] Step S101: obtaining at least one demand information of a target country for a target construction machinery within a preset time period in the future; the demand information includes configuration information, demand quantity and demand delivery time.

[0047] The target country is a country other than the country itself. For example, when the country itself is country A, the target country may be country B, etc. The preset duration may be set according to actual needs, such as 2 months, 3 months, etc. The target construction machinery may be set according to actual needs, such as excavators, cranes, etc.

[0048] The configuration information may include information such as the product model, performance parameters and / or hardware parameters of the target engineering machinery. The demand quantity for target engineering machinery with different configuration information may be the same or different, for example, it may be one or more units. The required delivery time refers to the time when the customer requires the target engineering machinery to be delivered, which may be a specific time such as a certain month and date, or a time range such as several months. It should be noted that the timing for obtaining at least one demand information for the target engineering machinery in the target country within a preset period of time in the future may be at the beginning or end of each month.

[0049] In one embodiment, obtaining at least one demand information of a target country for a target engineering machine within a preset time period in the future includes:

[0050] Obtain at least one business opportunity in the target country entered in the business opportunity filling interface;

[0051] Analyze at least one business opportunity to determine at least one demand information of the target country for the target construction machinery within a preset time period in the future.

[0052] Among them, the computing device can provide a business opportunity reporting interface for reporting business opportunities, and the user can input at least one business opportunity in the target country in the business opportunity reporting interface. Among them, business opportunities can be understood as potential purchasing needs for target engineering machinery, and can include potential purchasing customer information and demand information for target engineering machinery. For example, it can be a business opportunity that has received a customer confirmation letter, a business opportunity that has passed the contract review, etc. It should be noted that the input business opportunity can also be determined based on the market industry change trend of the target country and the sales situation of the target engineering machinery over a period of time, such as in the past year. Here, since different business opportunities may be reported by different people, there may be duplication in the reported business opportunities. By analyzing at least one business opportunity, it is possible to filter out duplicate business opportunities and extract information from the business opportunities, thereby determining the target country's demand information for the target engineering machinery within a preset period of time in the future.

[0053] In one embodiment, analyzing at least one business opportunity to determine at least one demand information of a target country for a target construction machinery within a preset time period in the future includes:

[0054] Analyze at least one business opportunity to obtain the purchase demand information of the target country for the target construction machinery within a preset time period in the future;

[0055] Determine the inventory demand information for the target construction machinery based on the inventory data of the local warehouse in the target country and the preset safety stock quantity;

[0056] Based on the purchase demand information and the inventory demand information, at least one demand information of the target country for the target engineering machinery within a preset time period in the future is determined.

[0057] Among them, since the business opportunity is a potential purchase demand for the target engineering machinery, by analyzing at least one business opportunity, the purchase demand information of the target country for the target engineering machinery within a preset time period in the future can be obtained, including information such as the configuration demand and quantity demand of the target engineering machinery. At the same time, considering the safety stock demand required to maintain the daily sales of the target engineering machinery, the inventory demand information for the target engineering machinery can be determined based on the inventory data of the target engineering machinery in the target country and the preset safety stock quantity, including information such as the configuration demand and quantity demand of the target engineering machinery. It should be noted that the inventory data of the target engineering machinery in the target country can be the quantity corresponding to the product model of the target engineering machinery that is relatively easy to sell in the target country. After determining the purchase demand information and the inventory demand information, the purchase demand information and the inventory demand information can be superimposed to determine the demand information of the target country for the target engineering machinery within a preset time period in the future.

[0058] Step S102: Determine the supply demand type corresponding to the target construction machinery required by each demand information according to the demand delivery time and the preset logistics cycle and / or production cycle.

[0059] In this embodiment, the supply demand type refers to where to select the supply source for shipment or stocking in order to meet the demand information for the target engineering machinery, including selecting from local inventory, selecting from factory inventory, and arranging factory production. Here, the supply demand types are divided into three types, namely local inventory demand, factory inventory demand, and new production demand. Among them, local inventory demand refers to the demand whose delivery time is within one logistics cycle; factory inventory demand refers to the demand whose delivery time exceeds one logistics cycle, but is lower than the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle; new production demand refers to the demand whose delivery time exceeds the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle.

[0060] Specifically, for any demand information, that is, the target demand information, if the demand delivery time in the target demand information is less than or equal to the logistics cycle, then the supply demand type corresponding to the target construction machinery required by the target demand information is determined to be local inventory demand; if the demand delivery time in the target demand information is greater than the logistics cycle and less than the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle, then the supply demand type corresponding to the target construction machinery required by the target demand information is determined to be factory inventory demand; if the demand delivery time in the target demand information is greater than the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle, then the supply demand type corresponding to the target construction machinery required by the target demand information is determined to be new production scheduling demand.

[0061] For example, assuming that the logistics cycle from the home country to the target country is 1 month, and the production cycle of the target engineering machinery is also 1 month, if the delivery time for the target engineering machinery in a demand information is 45 days, since the delivery time is greater than the logistics cycle and less than the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle, the supply demand type corresponding to the target engineering machinery required by the demand information can be determined as the factory inventory demand. In this way, the supply demand type corresponding to the required target engineering machinery can be accurately determined according to the demand delivery time in the demand information, thereby conveniently and accurately realizing the coordinated dispatch of supply, further improving the inventory turnover rate and the coordination efficiency of market demand.

[0062] Step S103: performing a supply dispatch operation on the target construction machinery according to the supply demand type, demand information and a preset supply pool; the supply pool includes the local warehouse supply information and transportation in-transit supply information of the target construction machinery in the target country and the domestic factory supply information.

[0063] Among them, the local warehouse supply information includes the configuration information and corresponding quantity of the target engineering machinery stored in the warehouse. The in-transit supply information includes the configuration information and corresponding quantity of the target engineering machinery currently being transported to the target country. The domestic factory supply information includes the domestic factory inventory supply information and the domestic factory in-production supply information, and both include the configuration information and corresponding quantity of the target engineering machinery. In other words, the supply pool includes the target engineering machinery information that has been completed and the target engineering machinery information that has started production.

[0064] In one embodiment, the domestic factory supply information includes domestic factory inventory supply information; performing a supply scheduling operation on the target engineering machinery according to the supply demand type and the demand information includes:

[0065] If the supply demand type is local inventory demand, the target construction machinery is dispatched according to the configuration information, demand quantity, local warehouse supply information and in-transit supply information to obtain the corresponding supply dispatch result;

[0066] If the supply demand type is factory inventory demand, the target construction machinery is scheduled according to the configuration information, demand quantity and domestic factory inventory supply information to obtain the corresponding supply scheduling result.

[0067] It can be understood that when the supply demand type is local inventory demand, it means that only by shipping from the local warehouse supply and the in-transit supply can the corresponding demand delivery time be met. Therefore, the target engineering machinery can be scheduled according to the configuration information, the demand quantity, the local warehouse supply information and the in-transit supply information to obtain the corresponding supply scheduling result. Among them, the supply scheduling result may include whether the local warehouse supply and the in-transit supply include the target engineering machinery required by the demand information, and when there are all the target engineering machinery required by the demand information, it may also include the corresponding relationship between each demand information and the corresponding target engineering machinery in the local warehouse supply information or the in-transit supply information. When the supply demand type is factory inventory demand, it means that shipping from the domestic factory inventory supply can also meet the corresponding demand delivery time. Therefore, the target engineering machinery can be scheduled according to the configuration information, the demand quantity and the domestic factory inventory supply information to obtain the corresponding supply scheduling result. It should be noted that the supply scheduling result may include whether the domestic factory inventory supply includes the target engineering machinery required by the demand information, and when it includes all the target engineering machinery required by the demand information, it may also include the correspondence between each demand information and the corresponding target engineering machinery in the domestic factory inventory supply.

[0068] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0069] When it is determined based on the supply scheduling result that part or all of the target construction machinery required by the demand information cannot be met, a reminder message for applying for an extension or adjusting the configuration is output.

[0070] It can be understood that when it is determined based on the supply scheduling results that some or all of the target construction machinery required by the demand information cannot be met, it means that the demand information cannot be met. A reminder message for applying for an extension or adjusting the configuration can be output, so that the user can communicate with the customer corresponding to the demand information based on the reminder message, so that the customer can postpone the demand delivery time or change the configuration, so as to ensure that the customer is not lost.

[0071] In one embodiment, a cargo dispatching operation is performed on a target construction machinery according to the cargo demand type, demand information, and a preset cargo pool, including:

[0072] If the supply demand type is a new production scheduling demand, the pending production information of the target construction machinery is determined according to the configuration information, the demand quantity and the supply pool, and the corresponding supply scheduling result is determined based on the pending production information.

[0073] Among them, when the supply demand type is a new production scheduling demand, it means that the corresponding target engineering machinery newly produced from the domestic factory can also meet the corresponding demand delivery time. At this time, it is possible to first detect whether the target engineering machinery in the supply pool meets the demand information based on the configuration information and the required quantity in the demand information, and when the target engineering machinery in the supply pool partially meets the demand information or does not meet the demand information at all, determine the target engineering machinery to be produced. Among them, the information to be produced may include information such as the configuration information and quantity of the target engineering machinery to be produced. After the production scheduling plan for the target engineering machinery is generated based on the guidance of the information to be produced, the corresponding supply scheduling result is determined, including determining the target engineering machinery to be produced as the target engineering machinery required to meet the demand information.

[0074] In one embodiment, it further comprises:

[0075] According to the cargo scheduling results, the target construction machinery in the cargo pool that matches the demand information is marked.

[0076] It is understandable that in order to avoid the phenomenon of repeated occupation due to the matching of different demand information of the same country or different countries with the same target engineering machinery in the supply pool, and to facilitate users to understand the target engineering machinery matched by each demand information, the target engineering machinery matching the demand information in the supply pool can be marked according to the supply scheduling results. Among them, the marking method can be set according to the actual needs, such as adding an "occupied" mark, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0077] In summary, in the demand processing method provided by the above embodiment, after obtaining the demand information for construction machinery, the supply demand type of the target construction machinery required for each demand information is determined according to the demand delivery time and the preset logistics cycle and / or production cycle, and then the supply scheduling operation is performed on the target construction machinery based on the supply demand type demand information and the preset supply pool, so as to realize the coordinated scheduling of supply, reduce the risk of customer loss or unmet demand due to regional shortages, and improve the inventory turnover rate and the coordination efficiency of market demand.

[0078] Based on the same inventive concept as the above-mentioned embodiment, a specific example is given below to illustrate.

[0079] See also Figure 2 , which is a demand processing system provided in this embodiment, can implement the corresponding demand processing method, and mainly includes 6 functional modules, namely, sales plan module, logistics module, supply module, payment plan module and production plan module.

[0094] 6. Production planning module: This module includes the factory production module.

[0095] 6.1. Factory production module: This module includes factory production planning and actual production status monitoring and updating.

[0096] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The implementation of the demand processing method provided in this embodiment includes three parts: overseas market demand identification, automatic generation of payment plan, and factory production plan generation; among them,

[0097] 1. Identification of overseas market demand

[0098] Combined with the production cycle and logistics cycle, the product model, product quantity, and delivery time required by the future market are identified. The specific identification process is as follows:

[0099] 1) The business opportunity submission module identifies business opportunities marked as guaranteed this month, business opportunities that have received customer confirmation letters, and business opportunities that have passed contract review as future market demand based on business opportunity documents maintained by ground forces and product line sales engineers. At the same time, based on the market industry change trend and sales analysis in the past year, according to the revised opinions of market functional management experts, it determines the need for additional business opportunities. Then, market demand is obtained by classification and summary based on product model, product demand quantity, and delivery time.

[0100] 2) The safety stock module automatically compares the quantity of main selling models in the current subsidiary inventory with the safety stock quantity based on the main selling model quantity configuration table defined by each country. When the inventory quantity is lower than the safety stock quantity, the configuration and difference quantity requirements of the main selling models are summarized into the reporting plan.

[0101] 2. Automatic generation of payment plan

[0102] After the market demand and safety stock demand are identified, the supply of the subsidiary warehouse in the supply pool can be matched according to the characteristics of country, product model, configuration details, and short delivery time. For the demand that cannot be met by the subsidiary warehouse supply, the delivery time required by the market demand is judged. For the demand within the logistics cycle, it is recommended to ship from the domestic factory to replenish the inventory to meet the demand based on the logistics cycle; for the demand that exceeds the logistics cycle, it is recommended that the salesperson negotiate with the customer to postpone the delivery date. For the demand with long delivery time, the supply of domestic company warehouses in the supply pool can be matched according to the characteristics of country, product model, and configuration details, and the subsidiary supply digestion quantity can be replenished. For the demand that cannot be met by the factory inventory, the product model, product quantity, and delivery time are summarized to generate the reporting plan demand. The specific process is as follows:

[0103] 1) Integrate the equipment in stock and in transit of subsidiaries and the equipment in stock and in production of factories to build a global unified supply pool.

[0104] 2) After identifying market demand and safety stock replenishment needs, identify local inventory demand, factory inventory demand, and new production scheduling demand based on the product model, product quantity, and delivery time required. Local inventory demand refers to demand with a delivery time within one logistics cycle; factory inventory demand refers to demand with a delivery cycle that exceeds one logistics cycle but is lower than the sum of the equipment production cycle and the logistics cycle; new production scheduling demand refers to demand with a delivery time that exceeds the sum of the logistics cycle and the equipment production cycle.

[0105] 3) In response to local inventory needs, the system automatically matches the same model inventory equipment in stock and in transit of the subsidiary in the global unified resource pool, identifies the met and unmet needs, and reminds the relevant salesperson to negotiate with the customer in a friendly manner to extend the delivery date or adjust the product configuration for the needs that cannot be met by the inventory equipment.

[0106] 4) In response to factory inventory needs, the system automatically matches the same type of equipment in stock and under production in the global unified supply pool, and identifies the satisfied and unsatisfied needs. For satisfied needs, the system automatically reminds the salesperson to initiate a domestic factory shipment application. For unsatisfied needs, the system automatically reminds the functional management department to coordinate other inventory resources.

[0107] 5) For new production scheduling requirements, automatically match the product production cycle and identify the satisfied and unsatisfied requirements within the production cycle. For satisfied requirements, push them to the production department for scheduling. For unsatisfied requirements, remind the salesperson to negotiate with the customer for a friendly delivery extension.

[0108] 3. Factory production plan generation

[0109] In view of the net demand and its change information in the generated reporting plan, the production side formulates the master production plan through investment increase, extension, suspension, and inventory reform, and then arranges production scheduling and production execution. After the production execution is completed, the new output equipment is updated to the supply pool, and the product line production and sales coordinator allocates it to the demand order to complete the sales. The specific process is as follows:

[0110] 1) The factory formulates corresponding strategies according to the type of net demand. New net demand adopts new investment (direct production) and inventory restructuring strategies (make the configuration of inventory equipment consistent with the front demand configuration to meet market demand), canceled net demand adopts the stop strategy (production suspension), and net demand with adjusted delivery date adopts the postponement strategy (production priority adjustment, delayed delivery).

[0111] 2) After summarizing various types of strategies, a production plan is generated based on demand configuration, demand quantity and required delivery time, combined with the negotiation results between the production and sales coordinator and the production planner.

[0112] 3) The production department executes production according to the production plan.

[0113] 4) The information of newly produced equipment is pushed to the supply pool, and the production and sales coordinator assigns it to sales orders to complete the sales.

[0114] In summary, the demand processing method provided in the above embodiment has the following advantages: 1) By establishing matching rules between overseas market demand and a global unified supply pool, global supply coordination and scheduling are achieved, the risk of order loss due to regional shortages is reduced, and inventory turnover is improved. 2) A set of scientific and quantitative logical model systems are established between marketing market demand and domestic factory production to guide domestic factory production by overseas market demand. The model of selling what is produced is changed to a model where the factory produces what the market needs. 3) Online transparent visibility of available supply and order supply for front-line sales staff is achieved, reducing the communication cost of repeated offline communication to confirm supply status information. 4) Sales plans, reporting plans, and production plans generated by online system models reduce repeated meeting reviews and confirmations of offline forms, eliminate erroneous data caused by manual data processing errors, and improve work quality and efficiency.
