DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

[0016] [1. Overview] For example, there is an industry that processes (for example, cutting, bending, pasting, etc.) building materials (roofing materials) to meet customer needs, and then manufactures and sells them. In this type of processing, manufacturing, and sales, the following business processes (1) to (3) are basically carried out.

[0017] (1) In order processing, the office checks the order details received from customers via fax or email and registers the order in the system. (2) In the process of creating processing instructions, the person in charge handwrites the processing details on the order form in the office. (3) In the processing instruction work, the order slip is manually delivered from the office to the processing department office.

[0018] However, because the processing details are written by hand, there is a difference in the accuracy of the expression depending on the person in charge, and there are cases where the information is conveyed incorrectly to the processing department or where the person who wrote it down needs to confirm again. In addition, there are issues with the time constraints and workload involved in manually delivering the information from the office to the processing site.

[0019] In this embodiment, focusing on the fact that the contents of processing instructions that were handwritten by the person in charge can be organized into patterns to a certain extent, the shape of the drawing is standardized and dimensions, etc. are used as parameters, so that the processing instruction contents can be registered from the order entry screen when the order is entered. Also, it is possible to directly output a processing instruction sheet to a printer at the processing site in charge according to the processing instruction contents. As a result, when processing, manufacturing and selling products, the order entry person who receives an order from a customer can easily and accurately enter processing instructions while looking at the screen when entering the order. More specifically, the following effects (1) to (3) are achieved.

[0020] (1) It is possible to reduce loss of base material. Specifically, by standardizing processing instructions, it is possible to reduce processing errors and reduce loss of base material due to processing errors.

[0021] (2) It is possible to improve customer satisfaction. Specifically, by standardizing processing instructions, it is possible to reduce processing errors and reduce the shipment of products that differ from the order contents, thereby improving customer satisfaction.

[0022] (3) Time can be created. Specifically, by standardizing processing instructions, the number of inquiries from the field to sales and operations regarding the content of instructions has decreased, making it possible to create time. In addition, since paper documents are no longer delivered from the office to the processing field as in the past, it is possible to create time.

[0023] 1 to 3 are diagrams showing a processing image of this embodiment. Fig. 1 is a diagram for explaining an example of a processed product (goods). The basic dimensions of the product are determined by the product number, and the length (=cutting process) and some parts (sagging, flattening, etc.) (=bending process) are processed according to customer requests.

[0024] Figure 2 is a diagram for explaining an example of the processing process. In the cutting process, the base coil is cut into cut sheets of the specified length using a cutting machine. In the bending process, the cut sheets are bent at the specified location and dimensions through forming equipment to manufacture the product.

[0025] Fig. 3 is a diagram for explaining business operations. For example, in the office building, an order input process S1 is executed to input the contents of a purchase order from a customer, and the order data and processing instruction data are registered, and the processing instruction is printed on the printer at the processing site specified by the processing instruction master. In the processing site building, the base material is cut and bent in the processing process S2 according to the processing instruction.

[0026] The processing instruction device of the present invention can be applied to various industries involved in processing, manufacturing and sales, such as building material processing and wholesaling and steel plate processing and wholesaling.

[0027] [2. Configuration] An example of the configuration of a processing instruction device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4.

Specifically, the processing instruction data may include remarks, cut up, cut down, cut left, cut right, cut direction, flat, reed direction, number of bends, sagging, processing remarks, etc. (see FIG. 10(C)).

[0039] The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that comprehensively controls the processing instruction device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, required data, and the like, and executes various types of information processing based on these stored programs.

[0040] The control unit 102 is configured to be able to access the processing instruction master 106a and the data file 106b stored in the storage unit 106. Note that these master files may be provided in other locations (e.g., the server 200) as long as the control unit 102 is able to access them.

[0041] The control unit 102 conceptually includes an order details input unit 102a, an order details input unit 102b, an output instruction unit 102c, a screen display control unit 102d, and a master maintenance unit 102e.
