Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular to a demand processing method, computing device, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Due to inconsistencies in the models, transportation cycles, and other information of construction machinery equipment sold in various overseas markets, as well as differences in the production cycles of each piece of equipment, the model of arranging production and shipment only after receiving confirmed orders from various overseas countries often fails to meet customers' timeliness requirements. On the other hand, producing in advance can easily result in construction machinery equipment that does not meet the product configuration required by the market, leading to an increase in inventory.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the existing method involves overseas market functional managers initiating inventory requests based on their personal experience, transmitting demand plans through offline forms, and then back-end production staff coordinating and revising these requests based on their experience before arranging production. Market personnel frequently communicate with production staff by phone regarding production progress and changes in demand until the goods arrive at the overseas warehouse, at which point the sale is completed. However, this method often results in shortages of equipment demanded by the front-end market, leading to lost customers. Furthermore, it frequently only initiates spot sales after the equipment arrives at the local warehouse, resulting in low inventory turnover. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a demand processing method, computing device, and computer-readable storage medium that can realize the overall scheduling of goods, reduce the risk of customer loss or unmet demand due to regional shortages, and improve the efficiency of inventory turnover and market demand coordination.

[0020] If the delivery time of the target demand information is greater than the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle, then the type of demand for the target engineering machinery required by the target demand information is determined to be a new production schedule demand.

[0021] Optionally, the domestic factory supply information includes domestic factory inventory supply information; the step of performing supply scheduling operations on the target construction machinery according to the supply demand type and the demand information includes:

[0022] If the demand type is local inventory demand, then the target construction machinery is dispatched according to the configuration information, the demand quantity, the local warehouse supply information and the transportation in-transit supply information to obtain the corresponding supply dispatch result;

[0023] If the demand type is factory inventory demand, then the target construction machinery is dispatched according to the configuration information, the demand quantity and the domestic factory inventory information to obtain the corresponding dispatch result.

[0024] Optionally, it also includes:

[0025] When the results of the cargo scheduling determine that some or all of the target construction machinery required by the demand information cannot be met, a reminder message is output for applying for an extension or adjustment of the configuration.

In specific implementation, those skilled in the art may execute S102 first and then S101, etc., but these should all be within the protection scope of this application.

[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0044] In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module," "part," or "unit" to denote elements is solely for the purpose of illustrative purposes and has no specific meaning in itself. Therefore, "module," "part," or "unit" may be used interchangeably.

[0045] See Figure 1 This application provides a demand processing method, which can be executed by a demand processing device provided in this application. The demand processing device can be implemented in software and / or hardware, such as a computer or server. In this embodiment, a computing device is used as the executing entity of the demand processing method. The demand processing method provided in this embodiment includes:

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

[0047] The target country can be any country other than your home country. For example, if your home country is country A, the target country could be country B. The preset duration can be set according to actual needs, such as 2 months or 3 months. The target construction machinery can also be set according to actual needs, such as excavators or cranes.

[0048] The configuration information may include the product model, performance parameters, and / or hardware parameters of the target construction machinery. The required quantity of target construction machinery with different configuration information may be the same or different; for example, it may be one or more units. The delivery time refers to the time when the customer requests delivery of the target construction machinery, which can be a specific date (month and day) or a time range (several months). It should be noted that the timing for obtaining at least one demand information for the target construction machinery from the target country within a preset future timeframe can be at the beginning or end of each month.

[0049] In one embodiment, obtaining at least one demand information for the target construction machinery from the target country within a predetermined future timeframe includes:

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

[0051] Analyze at least one business opportunity and identify at least one demand for the target construction machinery in the target country within a predetermined timeframe.

[0052] The computing device provides a business opportunity submission interface, where users can input at least one business opportunity from a target country. A business opportunity can be understood as potential purchasing demand for the target construction machinery, and can include information on potential customers and their demand for the machinery. For example, it could be a business opportunity for which a customer confirmation letter has been received, or a business opportunity for which a contract has been approved. It should be noted that the entered business opportunities can also be determined based on market industry trends in the target country and an analysis of sales data for the target construction machinery over a period of time, such as the past year. Since different business opportunities may be submitted by different people, duplicate business opportunities may exist. By analyzing at least one business opportunity, duplicate opportunities can be filtered out, and information from the business opportunity can be extracted to determine the target country's demand for the target construction machinery within a predetermined timeframe.

[0053] In one implementation, at least one business opportunity is analyzed to determine at least one demand information for the target construction machinery in the target country within a predetermined future timeframe, including:

[0054] Analyze at least one business opportunity to obtain information on the target country's demand for the target construction machinery within a predetermined timeframe in the future;

[0055] Based on the inventory data of local warehouses in the target country and the preset safety stock quantity, determine the inventory demand information for the target construction machinery;

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

[0057] Since business opportunities represent potential purchase demand for the target construction machinery, analyzing at least one business opportunity can yield information on the target country's purchase demand for the target construction machinery within a pre-set timeframe, including configuration and quantity requirements. Simultaneously, considering the safety stock needed to maintain daily sales of the target construction machinery, inventory demand information can be determined based on the target country's inventory data and the pre-set safety stock quantity, including configuration and quantity requirements. It should be noted that the target country's inventory data for the target construction machinery could include quantities of popular models within the target country. After determining the purchase demand and inventory demand information, these can be overlaid to determine the target country's demand for the target construction machinery within the pre-set timeframe.

[0058] Step S102: Based on the demand delivery time and the preset logistics cycle and / or production cycle, determine the type of goods demand corresponding to the target construction machinery required for each demand information.

[0059] In this embodiment, the type of supply demand refers to where to select supplies for shipment or preparation to meet the demand information for the target construction machinery, including selecting from local inventory, selecting from factory inventory, and arranging factory production. Here, the type of supply demand is divided into three categories: local inventory demand, factory inventory demand, and new production scheduling demand. Local inventory demand refers to demand with a delivery time within one logistics cycle; factory inventory demand refers to demand with a delivery time exceeding one logistics cycle but less than the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle; and new production scheduling demand refers to demand with a delivery time exceeding the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle.

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

[0061] For example, assuming the logistics cycle from the home country to the target country is one month, and the production cycle of the target construction machinery is also one month, if a demand for the target construction machinery has a delivery time of 45 days, since this delivery time is longer than the logistics cycle but shorter than the sum of the logistics cycle and the production cycle, the demand type for the target construction machinery required by this demand information can be determined as factory inventory demand. In this way, the demand type for the required target construction machinery can be accurately determined based on the delivery time in the demand information, thereby facilitating and accurately coordinating the allocation of resources and further improving inventory turnover and the efficiency of market demand coordination.

[0062] Step S103: Perform cargo dispatching operations on the target construction machinery according to the cargo demand type, demand information and preset cargo pool; the cargo pool includes cargo information of the target construction machinery in the local warehouse in the target country, cargo information of the machinery in transit, and cargo information of the domestic factory.

[0063] The local warehouse inventory information includes the configuration and quantity of target construction machinery stored in the warehouse. The in-transit inventory information includes the configuration and quantity of target construction machinery currently being transported to the target country. The domestic factory inventory information includes inventory and production inventory information, both of which include the configuration and quantity of target construction machinery. In other words, the inventory pool includes information on target construction machinery that has completed production and information on target construction machinery that has begun production.

[0064] In one embodiment, the domestic factory supply information includes domestic factory inventory supply information; the supply scheduling operation for the target construction machinery is performed based on the supply demand type and demand information, including:

[0065] If the demand type is local inventory demand, then the target construction machinery will be dispatched according to the configuration information, demand quantity, local warehouse supply information and transportation supply information to obtain the corresponding supply dispatch result.

[0066] If the demand type is factory inventory demand, then the target construction machinery will be dispatched according to the configuration information, the demand quantity and the domestic factory inventory information to obtain the corresponding dispatch results.

[0067] It's understandable that when the demand type is local inventory demand, it means that only shipments from local warehouse inventory and goods in transit can meet the corresponding delivery time. Therefore, the target construction machinery can be scheduled based on configuration information, demand quantity, local warehouse inventory information, and goods in transit information to obtain the corresponding scheduling results. These scheduling results can include whether the local warehouse inventory and goods in transit include the target construction machinery required by the demand information. If all the required target construction machinery are included, the results can also include the correspondence between each demand and the corresponding target construction machinery in the local warehouse inventory information or the goods in transit information. Conversely, when the demand type is factory inventory demand, it means that shipments from domestic factory inventory can also meet the corresponding delivery time. Therefore, the target construction machinery can be scheduled based on configuration information, demand quantity, and domestic factory inventory information to obtain the corresponding scheduling results. It should be noted that the results of the supply allocation can include whether the domestic factory's inventory includes the target construction machinery required by the demand information. When the inventory includes all the target construction machinery required by the demand information, it can also include the correspondence between each demand information and the corresponding target construction machinery in the domestic factory's inventory.

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

[0069] When the results of the cargo scheduling determine that some or all of the target construction machinery required by the demand information cannot be met, a reminder message is output for applying for an extension or adjustment of the configuration.

[0070] It is understandable that when the results of the cargo scheduling determine 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. In this case, a reminder message can be output to request an extension or adjustment of the configuration, so that the user can communicate with the customer corresponding to the demand information based on the reminder message, thereby allowing the customer to postpone the delivery time of the demand 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 the target construction machinery based on the type of cargo demand, demand information, and a preset cargo pool, including:

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

[0073] When the demand type is "new production demand," it means that producing the corresponding target construction machinery from domestic factories can also meet the corresponding delivery time. In this case, the configuration information and quantity required in the demand information can be used to check whether the target construction machinery in the supply pool meets the demand information. If the target construction machinery in the supply pool partially meets the demand information or does not meet the demand information at all, the production information of the target construction machinery is determined. The production information may include the configuration information and quantity of the target construction machinery to be produced. After generating a production schedule for the target construction machinery based on the production information, the corresponding supply scheduling result is determined, including identifying the target construction machinery to be produced as the target construction machinery required to meet the demand information.

[0074] In one embodiment, it further includes:

[0075] Based on the cargo allocation results, target construction machinery in the cargo pool that matches the demand information is marked.

[0076] It is understandable that, in order to avoid duplicate allocation due to different demand information from the same or different countries matching the same target construction machinery in the supply pool, and also to facilitate users in understanding the target construction machinery matched by different demand information, the target construction machinery in the supply pool that matches the demand information can be marked based on the supply scheduling results. The marking method can be set according to actual needs, such as adding an "occupied" flag, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0077] In summary, the demand processing method provided in the above embodiments, after obtaining the demand information for construction machinery, determines the type of demand for the target construction machinery required for each demand based on the demand delivery time and the preset logistics cycle and / or production cycle. Then, based on the demand information of the demand type and the preset supply pool, the supply scheduling operation is performed on the target construction machinery to achieve overall supply scheduling, reduce the risk of customer loss or unmet demand due to regional shortages, and improve the efficiency of inventory turnover and market demand coordination.

[0078] Based on the same inventive concept as the foregoing embodiments, a specific example will be used to illustrate the following.

[0079] See Figure 2 This embodiment provides a demand processing system that can implement corresponding demand processing methods. It mainly includes six functional modules: a sales planning module, a logistics module, a sourcing module, a reporting and payment planning module, and a production planning module. The specific functions of each module are as follows:

[0080] 1. Sales Plan Module: This module includes a business opportunity entry module and a business opportunity addition module.

[0081] 1.1 Business Opportunity Submission Module: This module generates a market sales plan for the next 3 months based on the development stage of the business opportunity and the expected delivery time.

[0082] 1.2 No-Opportunity Supplement Module: This module enables market function management experts to supplement market needs that are not covered by existing business opportunities.

[0083] 2. Logistics Module: This module includes the logistics cycle module and the logistics transportation module.

[0084] 2.1 Logistics Cycle Module: This module can configure different transportation times based on different modes of transport, destination countries and ports, and different product certification types.

[0085] 2.2 Logistics and Transportation Module: This module automatically pushes the actual completion time of logistics nodes such as equipment leaving the factory, domestic transportation, port customs declaration, port departure, destination port arrival, and customs clearance.

[0086] 3. Safety Stock Module: This module includes the national safety stock module.

[0087] 3.1 National Security Stockpile Submodule: This module maintains the safety stock quantity of the main selling models of equipment in various countries.

[0088] 4. Supply module: This module includes a local warehouse supply module and a domestic factory supply module.

[0089] 4.1 Local Warehouse Supply Submodule: This module includes data push notifications for product models, configurations, quantities, etc., from the local warehouse and during transportation.

[0090] 4.2 Domestic Factory Supply Sub-module: This module includes data push of domestic factory inventory and in-process product models, configurations, quantities, etc.

[0091] 5. Reporting and Payment Plan Module: This module includes the estimated shipments from the factory and the net demand module.

[0092] 5.1 Expected Shipment Module: This module includes the automatic generation of expected replenishment product configurations, quantities, and times for overseas local warehouses.

[0093] 5.2 Net Demand Module: This module includes the automatic generation of product configuration, quantity, and time of production in domestic factories.

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

[0095] 6.1 Factory Production Module: This module includes monitoring and updating of the factory's production plan and actual production status.

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

[0097] 1. Identification of overseas market demand

[0098] By combining production and logistics cycles, the product models, quantities, and delivery times required by the future market are identified. The specific identification process is as follows:

[0099] 1) The opportunity reporting module identifies future market demands based on opportunity documents maintained by ground sales teams and product line sales engineers. Opportunities marked as "secured for this month," those with received customer confirmation, and those with approved contracts are identified. Simultaneously, based on market trends and sales data from the past year, and with feedback from market function management experts, no additional opportunity demand is determined. Then, market demands are categorized and summarized according to product model, quantity, and delivery time.

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

[0101] 2. The reporting and payment plan is generated automatically.

[0102] After identifying market demand and safety stock requirements, inventory from subsidiary warehouses in the sourcing pool can be matched based on characteristics such as country, product model, configuration details, and short delivery time. For demands that cannot be met by subsidiary warehouse inventory, the required delivery time of market demand is determined. For demands within the logistics cycle, it is recommended to replenish inventory by shipping from domestic factories to meet the demand. For demands exceeding the logistics cycle, it is suggested that sales personnel negotiate delivery postponements with customers. For demands with long delivery times, inventory from domestic company warehouses in the sourcing pool can be matched based on characteristics such as country, product model, and configuration details, and inventory replenishment can be carried out based on the quantity consumed by subsidiary inventory. For demands that cannot be met by factory inventory, product models, product quantities, and delivery times are summarized to generate a reporting plan demand. The specific process is as follows:

[0103] 1) Integrate the inventory and in-transit equipment of subsidiaries, as well as the inventory and in-process equipment of factories, to build a globally unified sourcing pool.

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

[0105] 3) For local inventory needs, automatically match the inventory of the same model of equipment in stock and in transit of subsidiaries in the global unified resource pool, identify the needs that have been met and the needs that have not been met, and remind relevant sales staff to negotiate with customers amicably to postpone delivery or adjust product configuration for needs that cannot be met by the inventory equipment.

[0106] 4) For factory inventory needs, automatically match the same model of equipment in stock and under construction at factories within the globally unified sourcing pool, identifying met and unmet needs. For met needs, automatically remind sales staff to initiate a shipment request from the domestic factory. For unmet needs, automatically remind functional management departments to coordinate other inventory resources.

[0107] 5) For new production scheduling needs, automatically match the product production cycle and identify the needs that can be met and those that cannot within the production cycle. For met needs, push them to the production department for scheduling. For unmet needs, remind sales staff to negotiate amicably with customers to postpone delivery dates.

[0108] 3. Factory production plan generation

[0109] Based on the net demand and its changes in the generated reporting plan, the production side formulates a master production plan through methods such as increasing production, delaying, halting production, and inventory restructuring, and then arranges production scheduling and execution. After production execution is completed, the new production equipment is updated to the supply pool, and the product line sales coordinator allocates it to demand orders to complete sales. The specific process is as follows:

[0110] 1) Based on the type of net demand, the factory formulates corresponding strategies. New net demand adopts the new investment (direct production) and inventory restructuring strategy (to make the configuration of inventory equipment consistent with the configuration of front-end demand to meet market demand), canceled net demand adopts the stop-start strategy (production suspension), and net demand with adjusted delivery dates adopts the postponement strategy (adjusting production priority and delaying delivery time).

[0111] 2) After summarizing the strategies of each type, generate a production plan based on the configuration, quantity, and delivery time requirements, combined with the consultation results between the production and sales coordinator and the production planner.

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

[0113] 4) Information on newly produced equipment is pushed to the supply pool, and the production and sales coordinator allocates it to sales orders to complete the sale.

[0114] In summary, the demand processing method provided in the above embodiments has the following advantages: 1) By establishing matching rules between overseas market demand and a globally unified supply pool, global supply coordination and scheduling can be achieved, reducing the risk of order loss due to regional shortages and improving inventory turnover. 2) A scientific and quantitative logical model system can be established between marketing market demand and domestic factory production, enabling domestic factory production to be guided by overseas market demand. This changes the model from producing what is available to selling what is available to producing what the market demands. 3) It enables frontline sales staff to have transparent online visibility of available and order stock, reducing the communication costs associated with repeated offline communication to confirm stock status. 4) Sales plans, reporting plans, and production plans generated through the online system model reduce the need for repeated offline meetings and reviews of forms, eliminating errors caused by manual data processing and improving work quality and efficiency.
