Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a business management system for managing architectural design work. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, architectural design projects for building buildings involve many tasks from architectural design and construction to completion. For example, in the initial design stage, requirements definition and basic design are carried out, followed by detailed design, construction planning, actual construction work, and final completion inspection.

[0003] Furthermore, each job is broken down into many tasks. For example, basic design involves tasks to determine the layout, shape, and function of the building, detailed design involves tasks to determine specific building materials, equipment, and finishing materials, construction planning involves tasks to plan the work schedule, necessary materials, and labor, actual construction work involves tasks to perform civil engineering, architectural, electrical, and plumbing work, and completion inspection involves tasks to check the safety and functionality of the building.

[0004] In architectural design projects, multiple tasks like these are grouped together as a single business unit, and workflow and progress management are carried out, ensuring the efficiency and quality of the entire project.

[0005] However, while traditional business management systems used to manage construction projects have the ability to manage the progress of various tasks, they are insufficient in managing tasks that take into account the sequence and dependencies of tasks, or in transitioning progress to the next task based on the completion status of each task's checklist, and there is a demand for business management systems that can provide appropriate management.

[0006] As an example of a business management system that meets this demand, there is a construction plan creation device shown in Patent Document 1. This construction plan creation device accepts information indicating the deadline for a construction work in which multiple types of work are to be performed, and based on that, derives the allocation of workers, waiting time to start work, and total work time until all work is completed, and creates a construction plan. This makes it possible to create a construction plan that ensures work is completed within the deadline and has high work efficiency. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5414601 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, the construction plan creation device described in Patent Document 1 mainly focuses on the allocation of workers and the management of work time for work including multiple tasks, and does not focus on work units consisting of multiple tasks and has no idea of ​​managing work by each work unit (box). In addition, naturally, the transition management of work within a project by boxes is not taken into consideration. Therefore, there is a problem that the work management becomes complicated as it becomes a task-by-task management.

[0009] Another issue is that incomplete tasks can cause rework and reduce productivity. In other words, the existence of incomplete tasks can affect the progress of subsequent work, which can ultimately delay the progress of the entire project. Although this can be a significant problem in large-scale projects where multiple tasks are carried out simultaneously, the idea of ​​preventing rework was not incorporated into conventional systems.

[0010] Furthermore, the function to set a deadline for completion of each task and change the display of project information if the check items are not satisfied when the deadline is reached is also not included. This makes it difficult to manage the deadlines and visualize the progress of each task, which can lead to work delays.

[0011] Until now, not limited to the construction plan creation device described in Patent Document 1, there has been no system for managing the progress of work by each work unit (box) in a work management system for an architectural design project.

[0012] (1) The business management system of the present invention comprises a memory unit for storing project information including business flow information broken down into multiple business units for a construction project, a display unit for appropriately displaying the project information, and a control unit for controlling the project information displayed on the display unit, wherein the business units constitute boxes, a plurality of the boxes constitute a series of the business flow, each box has at least a predetermined number of check items, and when all the check items of one box are completed, the business flow information is transferred to the next box.

[0013] In the business management system according to the present invention, check items are defined for each business unit (box), and a series of business flows are constructed while confirming that these items are satisfied, and business operations are managed by checking the business flows. This makes it possible to grasp the progress of business operations in conjunction with specific check items, simplifies overall project management, eliminates omissions in business operations, and makes business management more efficient.

[0014] (2) In the above-mentioned business management system, in addition to the check items, the boxes have task items that are not dependent on the check items, and even if the task items are not satisfied, progress is transferred to the next box when all the check items are satisfied.

[0015] In this business management system, in addition to check items, task items that are not dependent on the check items are also defined within the boxes, and even if a task item is not satisfied, progress will move to the next box as long as all check items are satisfied. This improves the flexibility of business progress, and since it is possible to move the entire project forward while identifying delayed tasks, it is possible to avoid bottlenecks in the project and progress work efficiently.

[0016] (3) In the above-mentioned business management system, each box can set a completion deadline for completing the corresponding business unit, and each box changes the display of the project information if all of the check items of the box are not satisfied by the set deadline.

[0017] With this business management system, a deadline can be set for each box, and if all check items have not been completed by the deadline, the display of the project information will change, making deadline management and progress visible, allowing delays to be detected and addressed early.

[0018] (4) The business management system of claim 3, wherein the display of the project information is changed when the completion deadline arrives with the task item unsatisfied and the check item satisfied.

[0019] (5) In the above-mentioned business management system, the check item has an incomplete display to indicate that the work of the check item is incomplete, a completed display to indicate that the work of the check item is completed, and an unnecessary display to indicate that the work of the check item is unnecessary, and even if the check item is displayed as completed by the person in charge, if the first checker or the second checker selects to send it back, the check item reverts to the incomplete display.

[0020] In this work management system, the first and second checkers check the check items, which increases the accuracy of the confirmation of work content. In other words, this work management system strictly manages progress and prevents mistakes by double-checking, and also clarifies only the necessary work, reducing waste.

[0021] (6) The business management system further includes a user registration unit that registers user information including user type and job information, the job information including the job responsibilities of completing each task item or check item of each project, the check items can only be completed by an employee terminal that is assigned the corresponding job responsibilities, and the task items can also be completed by user terminals other than the user terminal that has the corresponding job responsibilities.

[0022] The work responsibility information includes the work responsibilities for completing each task item or check item of each project. In other words, it is clearly set which user is responsible for a specific task (task item or check item). Check items can only be completed by a user terminal to which the corresponding work is assigned, and only a specific user responsible for a specific task can complete the check item, making it possible to strictly manage the progress and completion status of the task. On the other hand, since task items can also be completed by a user terminal other than the user responsible for that task, other users can also progress the task depending on the progress of the task, making it possible to manage the progress of the task more flexibly. As a result, this task management system can improve the efficiency of the task and the accuracy of the progress.

[0023] (7) The above-mentioned business management system further includes a user registration unit for registering an approval user who approves the completion of the box.

[0024] This business management system can determine whether check items have been met and can register an approver user who checks items when they are deemed to have been met, allowing for efficient management of business progress and accurate management of the confirmation of each check item and progress transitions.

[0025] (8) In the business management system described above, the user registration unit registers, in addition to the approved users, a responsible user who completes the check items or task items, and a customer user who has placed an order for the construction project.

[0026] In this business management system, in addition to the approver users, the person in charge of executing the business unit and the customer user who ordered the architectural design project are also registered, which makes it easier to share information during the progress of the business and allows various users to efficiently obtain the information they need. In particular, by classifying the approver users and the person in charge users, the scope of business becomes clear. In addition, by registering the customer users, the client himself can check the progress of the project in real time, making it possible to proceed with the project with a sense of satisfaction.

[0027] (9) In the above-mentioned business management system, when all the boxes are completed, the project information is displayed as completed.

[0028] This business management system allows you to see the completion status of the entire project at a glance and makes it easy to visually grasp completed projects, making it useful for managing overall progress, identifying incomplete work, and checking the degree of project achievement.

[0029] (10) In the above-mentioned business management system, the project information includes meeting materials that can be viewed by a customer terminal and updated by a staff terminal, decision materials that can be viewed by the customer terminal and cannot be updated by the staff terminal, and internal company materials that cannot be viewed by the customer terminal, and the meeting materials, decision materials, and internal company materials can be displayed within the box display.

[0030] In this business management system, by managing meeting materials, decision materials, and internal documents separately, it is possible to list and manage the information of the entire project on the screen. In particular, meeting materials are included in the box display, and in past boxes that have been marked as "completed," it is possible to view the last meeting materials before the box was marked as "completed." This makes it possible to keep a record of "meeting materials" at each process (box) of the business flow.

[0031] (11) In the business management system described above, the multiple box displays, the multiple check items, and the multiple task items included in the multiple project information are linked to template information, and by changing at least one of the multiple box displays, the multiple check items, and the multiple task items in the template information, the corresponding box displays, the corresponding check items, or the corresponding task items included in all project information are changed.

[0032] In this business management system, when any one of the box displays, check items, or task items is changed through the template information linked to the multiple box displays, multiple check items, and multiple task items, the change is applied to all project information. In other words, by using the template information, it becomes possible to uniformly and efficiently display and manage the management items and progress status of all projects.

[0033] (12) The method includes a project creation step of creating a new project including project information having a plurality of boxes corresponding to a series of boxes according to a business content, a project setting step of setting information required for the project information, a project implementation step of completing the boxes of the project information, and a project completion step of completing the project when all of the boxes are completed.

[0034] In the work management method according to the present invention, a series of work flows are constructed using a plurality of boxes, and work management can be performed by managing the boxes, which makes it easier to manage the entire project.

[0035] (13) The above-mentioned business management method is characterized in that, in the project implementation step, each box has a plurality of check items each having a completion deadline, and the box is considered completed when all of the check items in the box have been completed.

[0036] With this business management method, check items are defined for each business unit (box) and the business flow is managed while confirming that these items are being fulfilled. This allows the progress of business to be understood in conjunction with the specific check items, prevents oversight of business operations, and makes business management more efficient.

[0037] (14) In the above-mentioned business management method, in the project implementation process, each box has a plurality of task items with completion deadlines in addition to a plurality of check items, and even if the task items are not satisfied, if all the check items are satisfied, the box is marked as completed and the business flow information is moved to the next box.

[0038] In this work management method, in addition to check items, task items that are not dependent on the check items are also defined within the boxes, and even if a task item is not satisfied, progress will move to the next box if all check items are satisfied. This improves the flexibility of work progress, and since it is possible to move the entire project forward while identifying delayed tasks, it is possible to avoid bottlenecks in the project and progress work efficiently.

[0039] (15) The above-mentioned business management method includes an approval step for approving that the box has been completed in the project implementation process.

[0040] This business management system can determine whether check items have been met and can register an approver user who checks items when they are deemed to have been met, allowing for efficient management of business progress and accurate management of the confirmation of each check item and progress transitions. Effect of the Invention

[0041] According to the present invention, a series of work flows are constructed using a plurality of boxes, and work management can be performed by managing the boxes, which makes it easier to manage the entire project. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0043] <Configuration of business management system>

[0044] First, a work management system S and a work management method T according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the work management system S and the work management method T manage the work of an architectural design project.

[0045] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a concept of an operation form of a business management system S according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, in the business management system S according to this embodiment, a business management server 2 and a user terminal are connected via the Internet N. The business management server 2 functions by using a virtual server in a cloud environment, and realizes centralized management and distributed processing of data.

[0046] The user terminal is a conventional information processing device such as a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet. The information processing device constituting the user terminal includes a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a solid-state drive (SSD), and an interface (I / F, not shown), all of which are interconnected via an internal bus.

[0047] In the business management system of this embodiment, user types are classified to classify access rights to the system. In this embodiment, user terminals are classified as general user terminals 11, editor terminals 12, administrator terminals 13, or customer terminals 14 according to the attributes of the user who logs in. The general user terminals 11, editor terminals 12, and administrator terminals 13 are also collectively referred to as business terminals. These user types are assigned based on user information recorded in the business management server 2. Each piece of user information is managed by the user registration unit 23, and is registered when a new user joins the system.

[0048] The functions of the user terminal differ depending on the attributes of the user who logs in. For example, a user who logs in as a general user can input and update information related to a specific business through the user terminal that functions as a general user terminal 11. Similarly, a user who logs in as an editor, administrator, or customer can function as an editor terminal 12, administrator terminal 13, or customer terminal 14, respectively.

[0049] Each terminal is given different access rights depending on the attributes of the user. In this embodiment, the general user terminal 11 has the right to view all the implemented project information 301 and the right to operate information such as the box display 304 of the implemented project information 301, the editor terminal 12 has the right to edit the project template described later in addition to the rights of the general user terminal 11, and the manager terminal 13 has the right to manage the entire system in addition to the rights of the editor terminal 12. The customer terminal 14 has the right to view only a part of the project information 301 that it has requested.

[0050] Furthermore, a person in charge of work is set for each project in the general user terminal 11, the editor terminal 12, and the manager terminal 13. The information on the person in charge of work is managed by the user registration unit 23, and is registered after a new project is created, or is changed as needed.

[0051] In this embodiment, the work person information includes a person's work of completing check items and task items in accordance with the actual progress of the work, a checker work of a first checker checking whether the work has been completed properly when the person in charge completes the check items, a double-check work of a second checker checking whether the checker work has been performed properly, and an approver work of completing a box display 304 when all check items in that box display 304 have been completed.

[0052] The business management server 2 is a conventionally well-known information processing device such as a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet. The information processing device constituting the business management server 2 includes a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a hard disk drive (HDD), and an interface (I / F, not shown), all of which are interconnected via an internal bus.

[0053] In such a hardware configuration, the business management programs stored in the storage media of the ROM and HDD are loaded into the RAM. The CPU then executes the operations instructed by these programs. This constitutes the functional blocks for realizing the business management system S of this embodiment (see FIG. 2).

[0054] As shown in Figure 2, the business management server 2 includes a memory unit 21 that stores project information 301, a display unit 22 that displays the project information 301, a control unit 25 that controls the project information 301, a user registration unit 23 for users involved in the project, and a deadline setting unit 24 that sets deadlines for work within the project.

[0055] The storage unit 21 stores information such as the contents, progress, and achievement status of various tasks in the form of a database, etc. The storage unit 21 stores task information organized and managed by each unit described later.

[0056] The display unit 22 visually presents the project information 301 stored in the storage unit 21 in a form that the user can intuitively understand. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) or the like can be used for the display unit 22. The layout and display contents of the display unit 22 are controlled by the control unit 25, which will be described later.

[0057] The user registration unit 23 registers each user involved in the project. Specifically, users who use the user terminals are classified and registered as customers who use the customer terminal 14, personnel who use the general user terminal 11, approvers who use the approver terminal 12, and editors who use the editor terminal 13. In the user registration unit 23, each user registers a user by inputting necessary information from a registration screen.

[0058] The deadline setting unit 24 can set a deadline for each box display 304 in a project, which will be described later. If the task corresponding to the box display 304 is not completed based on the set deadline, the control unit 25 changes the display of the project information 301.

[0059] The control unit 25 cooperates with the above-mentioned units to control the service management server 2 and causes the service management system S to function as described below.

[0060] <Work management method using the work management system>

[0061] Next, a description will be given of a task management method T that uses the task management system S according to this embodiment. However, the task management method T may be realized by other systems without depending on the task management system S.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 3, the business management method T according to this embodiment includes a project creation process T1, a project setting process T2, a project implementation process T3, and a project completion process T4.

[0063] First, in the project creation process T1, a project related to architectural design is created. Specifically, basic project information such as the project name, project overview, project participants, client name, site address, and start date, which are displayed by the display unit 22 of the business management system S, is registered. The basic project information is stored in the storage unit 21 as part of the project information 301. In addition, the project is created by selecting a project template according to the business content of the project.

[0064] The project template is stored in the storage unit 21 of the business management system S, and a plurality of box displays 304 corresponding to business contents, and task items, check items, materials, etc. in each box display 304 are registered. The project template can be created and edited by the editor terminal 13.

[0065] Next, in the project setting step T2, each item of the project template is set. For example, the completion deadline of each box display 304, the person in charge of the task item, the approver, the person in charge of the check item, the checker, the approver, etc. are set. In particular, the deadline for the completion of the box display 304 is set by the deadline setting unit 24 by operating the editor terminal 13.

[0066] Next, in the project implementation process T3, the work (box display 304) is completed according to the actual progress of the project, and the business flow of the project is executed. Specifically, the general user terminal 11 marks completed check items according to the actual progress as completed, and the box display 304 is completed when all the check items in one box display 304 are satisfied (completed). Completion of the check items is performed by operating the status display in the box display 304, which will be described later.

[0067] A completion deadline is set for each check item, and if the check item is not completed within the deadline, the box display 304 shows that the item is incomplete and changes the display of the project information 301. In this embodiment, "Deadline Exceeded" is displayed in part of the box display 304.

[0068] In the project implementation process T3, the general user terminal 11 can also mark completed task items according to actual progress. Task items are not dependent on check items, and even if all task items are not completed, the user can proceed to the next box display 304.

[0069] However, a completion deadline is set for each task item, and a task that is not completed by the completion deadline is treated as a deviation. In this embodiment, the number of tasks that have passed the completion deadline and have been carried over to the next box display 304 is counted and displayed in a "deviation" icon, which will be described later.

[0070] By completing a series of multiple box displays 304 within a project, the execution of the project can be managed. Information on the completion of each box display 304, the completion of a task item, the completion of a check, etc. is stored in the memory unit 21 by the control unit 25 and displayed on the display unit 22. This allows the progress of the entire project to be grasped in real time.

[0071] Next, in a project completion step T4, the project is completed. Specifically, the project is completed when an approver approves the state in which all box displays 304 have been completed.

[0072] <Functions and operations of the business management system>

[0073] Next, the functions and operations of the business management system S will be described.

[0074] The creation of a new project in the business management system S according to this embodiment will be described. The creation of a new project constitutes a part of the project creation step T1 in the business management method T.

[0075] A new project can be created by operating the general user terminal 11. Specifically, a new project can be created by inputting or selecting necessary project information 301 from the general user terminal 11.

[0076] To create a new project, select "Project Management" from the menu list on the top screen (not shown) of the general user terminal 11, and click the "Create New" button on the project management screen (not shown), which will take you to a new project registration screen M1 (see FIG. 4) where you can input or select project information 301 required for new creation. Furthermore, by pressing the "Next" 120 button at the bottom of the new registration screen M1, you will be taken to a new registration screen M2.

[0077] 4, in the new registration screens M1 and M2, a "template selection" frame 101 is displayed. In the "template selection" frame 101, "category tag" 102, "original project template selection" 103, "original project template summary" 104, "project progress" 105, "category tag update" 106, "project name" 107, "project summary" 108, "project participating members" 109, "client name" 110, "site address" 111, and "start date" 112 are displayed.

[0078] On the new registration screen M1, by selecting "Category tag" 102, the category of the project can be selected. Next, in "Select original project template" 103, the project template of the project can be selected. The project templates of the project are classified into categories, and the original project template can be selected from the project templates belonging to the category selected in "Category tag" 102. When a project template is selected in "Select original project template" 103, the "Original project template summary" 104 of that project template is displayed.

[0079] Next, when "Project Progress" 105 is selected, "On Hold", "In Progress", "Completed" or "Vote" can be selected. Next, when "Update Category Tag" 106 is selected, the category tag can be changed as necessary.

[0080] A "Customer Information" frame 113 is displayed below the "Project Template Selection" frame 101. The "Customer Information" frame 113 displays "Notes" 114, allowing the customer to input points to note. By inputting the customer information and pressing the "Next" button 120, the screen moves to a new registration screen M2, which displays "Project Name" 107, "Project Summary" 108, "Project Participants" 109, "Client Name" 110, "Site Address" 111, and "Start Date" 112.

[0081] On the new registration screen M2, a new project is created by inputting a "Project name" 107, a "Project summary" 108, selecting a "Project participating members" 109, inputting a "Client name" 110, a "Site address" 111, and a "Start date" 112, and then pressing a "Create new" 130 button. The contents input or selected on the new registration screens M1 and M2 are included in project information 301.

[0082] Next, a description will be given of how to set up a new project after it has been created. The project can be set up only by the editor terminal 13. The project setting constitutes a part of the project setting step T2 of the business management method T.

[0083] First, in project settings, a task person in charge, a checker, and an approver are set. Specifically, in each box display 304 of the project, a task person in charge is set for a task item, a check person in charge and a checker for a check item, and an approver is set for both the task item and the check item. The task person in charge and the checker log in as general user terminals, and the approver logs in from an approver terminal.

[0084] Next, in project setting, the deadline for completing the box is set. Specifically, there is a direct input means for specifying and inputting the completion deadline, and an input calculation means for specifying and inputting the number of working days, which is then assigned to the completion deadline of the previous box and determines the completion deadline. If the work in the box is a meeting, etc., the meeting date is set using the direct input means, and if the work in the box is work related to construction, it is set using the input calculation means.

[0085] Next, the implementation of the project after the project has been created and set up will be described. The implementation of the project constitutes a part of the project implementation step T3 of the business management method T.

[0086] 5 shows a project implementation screen M3 displayed on the display unit 22 when logged in to the business management system S by the general user terminal 11. On the project implementation screen M3, it is possible to view projects in which each worker terminal registered in the business management system S is involved. The project implementation screen M3 also displays project information 301, and for example, the project information 301 created on the above-mentioned new project registration screen M1 is displayed.

[0087] The project implementation screen M3 has a project overview section 302 that shows an overview of the project, and a business flow section 303 in which a series of box displays 304 are arranged horizontally. Although three box displays 304 are displayed on the screen, all box displays 304 of the project can be displayed by sliding horizontally.

[0088] The project overview section 302 displays basic project information such as the "Project name," "Client," and "Construction location" in the upper box, "Number of days elapsed," "Degree of task achievement," and "Project progress" in the lower box, and has a "Download latest materials" button in the bottom box.

[0089] The basic project information displays the information entered or selected during the project creation process. "Days elapsed" displays the number of days that have passed since the project's start date, and "Task completion rate" displays the number of tasks the project has as the denominator and the number of tasks that have been completed as the numerator. "Project progress" shows the degree to which tasks have been completed as a percentage. The "Download latest materials" button allows you to download materials that have been updated with the latest information regarding this project.

[0090] A series of business flows are constructed by a plurality of box displays 304 in the business flow section 303. Each box display 304 has at least a predetermined number of check items (display of a check sheet), and when all the check items of one box display 304 are satisfied, the progress is shifted to the next box display 304.

[0091] For each box display 304 displayed in the business flow section 303, the planned completion deadline for each box display 304 is displayed in the top frame in the form of "year," "month," "date," and "day of the week," while the "Box No.", "Box display name," and "Approver" are displayed in the upper frame, and "Number of tasks," "Checklist," "Task alert," and "Overdue" are displayed in the lower frame.

[0092] In addition, next to the display of the box display completion deadline, the box display 304 in which the work has been completed is displayed as "Completed", and the box display 304 in which the work is in progress is displayed as "In progress". In addition, even if the scheduled completion deadline of the box display 304 has passed, the box display 304 in which the work has not been completed remains displayed as "In progress", and the number of days of "Exceeded", which will be described later, increases. In addition, when "In progress" is moved to the next box display 304 with a task item that has passed the deadline remaining, "Deviation" is displayed next to the display of the completion deadline of the box display. In addition, in the in-progress box display 304, if the approver's approval is awaited in the box display 304 in progress, "Waiting for approval" is displayed in the bottom frame, and if the approver is able to approve, "Approval possible" is displayed instead of "Waiting for approval". In addition, "Waiting for approval" is displayed when both the task item and the check item in the box display 304 are completed by the completion deadline, and "Approval possible" is displayed when the check item in the box display 304 is completed by the completion deadline and the task item is not completed.

[0093] When one box display 304 is completed, when an approver approves a box display 304 with a display of "Waiting for Approval", the display of "Waiting for Approval" disappears from the bottom frame, the display of "In Progress" in the top frame changes to "Completed", and "In Progress" is displayed in the top frame of the next box display 304 (the box display 304 on the right). Alternatively, when one box display 304 is completed, when an approver approves a box display 304 with a display of "Approval Possible", the display of "Approval Possible" disappears from the bottom frame, the display of "In Progress" in the top frame changes to "Completed", and "Deviation" is displayed in the top frame of the next box display 304 (the box display 304 on the right). To approve a box display 304, a "Box Display Completion" screen is opened by clicking the "Box Display Approval" icon on the right side of the top frame of the box display 304, and the completion of the box display is approved by clicking the "Box Display Completion" button in the box display completion screen.

[0094] "Box No." in the upper frame indicates the ordinal number of the box display 304 among the series of box displays 304 in the project. "Box display name" displays a title indicating the main business content of the box display 304. "Approver" displays the approver who approves the box display 304, and although the approver's icon is displayed in this embodiment, the approver's name may also be displayed.

[0095] "Number of tasks" in the lower frame displays the number of tasks in box display 304 as the denominator and the number of incomplete tasks as the numerator. "Check sheet" displays the number of check items in box display 304 as the denominator and the number of incomplete check items as the numerator. "Deadline tasks" displays the tasks in box display 304 with deadlines as the denominator and the number of tasks approaching their deadlines. "Overtime" indicates the number of days over from the planned completion deadline in box display 304.

[0096] When the box display 304 is clicked on the implementer project implementation screen M3, a box details screen M4 is displayed as shown in Fig. 6. The box details screen M4 displays "shared items" 401, "meeting materials" 402, "decision materials" 403, "internal materials" 404, "checklist" 405, and "tasks" 406.

[0097] Clicking the "+" button to the right of the "Shared Items" item will expand "Shared Items" and allow you to check the shared items.

[0098] Clicking the "+" button to the right of the "Meeting Materials", "Decision Materials", and "Internal Materials (Files)" items will expand each item and display the materials. In addition to the materials included as templates for each item, you can add any materials you need.

[0099] In this embodiment, "meeting materials" are materials that can be viewed from a customer terminal and can be updated from a business terminal. "Decision materials" are materials that can be viewed from a customer terminal and cannot be updated from a business terminal. "Internal materials" are materials that cannot be viewed from a customer terminal and can only be viewed from a business terminal. "Meeting materials" can be updated by uploading materials such as drawings to the business management system S.

[0100] Each of the documents, "Meeting documents", "Decision documents", and "Internal documents (files)", is included in each box display, and the display is divided according to the state of the document before it is uploaded, after it is uploaded, and when the document is updated in the ongoing box display. For example, the display is divided by color, such as gray before the document is uploaded, black after the document is uploaded, and pink when the document is updated in the ongoing box display.

[0101] Here, since the "meeting materials" are updatable materials, the meeting materials included in each box display of project information in the business management system S can be updated until the box display becomes "Completed", at which point they can no longer be updated. In other words, in a past box that has become "Completed", it is possible to view the last meeting materials before that box became "Completed". This makes it possible to keep a record of the "meeting materials" at each process (box) of the business flow.

[0102] Pressing the "+" button to the right of the "Checksheet" item will expand the "Checksheet" item and display the checksheet list screen M5 shown in Figure 7. On the checksheet list screen M5, you can confirm a list of the check items for that box. Of the multiple check items on the checksheet list screen M5, those that have been checked are displayed in light gray, and those that are incomplete (in progress) are displayed in white.

[0103] For each check item, the following information is displayed: "Person in charge," "Checker," "Task number," "Handover item," "Checksheet name," checksheet category, "Box summary," and "Deadline." Also, an update button is provided to the right of each check item, allowing the information for that check item to be updated. Also, for each check item, materials such as videos or manuals related to the work for that check item can be attached.

[0104] Additionally, next to the "Person in Charge" and "Checker" displays there are two check item status displays. One check status display 501 can only be operated by the person in charge of the check item. The other check status display 502 can only be operated by the first and second checkers of the check item. In other words, one check status display 501 cannot be operated by anyone other than the person in charge of the check item, and the other check status display 502 cannot be operated by anyone other than the first and second checkers of the check item.

[0105] Regarding the check status display 501, if the work corresponding to the check item is not completed, "Not yet" is displayed, and after completing the work, the person in charge can select "Confirmed" or "Not" by clicking the status display. Specifically, if the work corresponding to the check item is completed, "Confirmed" can be selected, and if the work is not required, "Not" can be selected.

[0106] The other check status display 502 shows "Not checked" if the check item is not checked, and after the check is completed, the first checker and the second checker can select "Check", "Not checked" or "Return" by clicking the status display. Note that the first checker and the second checker can perform a double check by operating the status display of the check item.

[0107] Specifically, if the first checker or the second checker determines that the work corresponding to the check item has been completed, the user can select "Confirmed." If the first checker or the second checker determines that the work corresponding to the check item is not necessary, the user can select "No." If the first checker or the second checker determines that the work corresponding to the check item has not been completed, the user can select "Return."

[0108] When both check status displays are in the "Complete" state, the checklist is considered to be complete. In this embodiment, the display of "Not yet", "Complete", "Not", or "Return" is changed by operation, but other displays may be used as long as the completion status of the check items can be displayed separately.

[0109] Clicking the "+" button to the right of the "Task" item will expand the "Task" item and you will be able to see the task items in that box. Among the multiple task items, those that have been completed will be displayed in light gray, and those that are incomplete (in progress) will be displayed in white.

[0110] For each task item, the "Person in Charge," "Issue Number," "Handover Items," "Task Name," task category display, "Box Display Summary," and "Deadline Date" are displayed. Additionally, an update button is provided to the right of each task item, allowing the information for that task item to be updated. Additionally, next to the "Person in Charge" display is a "Complete" button for the task item, and when the task item is completed, the person in charge selects "Complete."

[0111] Also, just like with check items, the task status of one of the check items is displayed next to the "person in charge." The task status display can also be operated by people other than the person in charge of that check item. Regarding the task status display, if the work corresponding to the task item has not been completed, "Not yet" will be displayed, and once the work is completed, the person in charge can select "Completed" by clicking the status display. Specifically, if the work corresponding to the task item has been completed, "Completed" can be selected.

[0112] Next, the operation of the dashboard screen M6 during project implementation will be described. Project implementation constitutes a part of the project implementation process T3 of the business management method T.

[0113] FIG. 8 shows a dashboard screen M6 of a person in charge that is displayed on the display unit 22 when the person in charge logs in to the business management system S using the general user terminal 11.

[0114] The dashboard screen M6 displays icons for "Buffer," "Number of projects," "Number of issues," "Deviation," "Number of deadline tasks," "Number of deadline checksheets," "Task alert," "Checksheet alert," and "Return," as shown in Fig. 8. The dashboard screen M6 can display a list of project information in which the logged-in user, who is the person in charge, is involved.

[0115] The "Buffer" display shows the total number of days that the logged-in user was able to complete tasks early by the deadline in the box display in which the logged-in user was involved as a person in charge. The "Number of Projects" display shows the number of projects in which the logged-in user is involved as a project participant.

[0116] The "Number of issues" display shows the number of incomplete task items and check items that the logged-in user is responsible for. In addition, clicking on "Number of issues" displays the "List of issues in the in progress box display" at the bottom of the dashboard screen M6 (not shown). Furthermore, clicking on the project name in the "List of issues in the in progress box display" displays the corresponding "Task" or "Check sheet" screen on the project implementation screen M3.

[0117] The "Deviation" display shows the number of task items that have passed their due date and have been carried over to the next box display among the box displays that the logged-in user is in charge of. Note that for check items, deviations do not occur because they are not carried over to the next box display.

[0118] The "Deadline Task" display shows the number of incomplete task items among the task items in the in progress box display. The "Deadline Checklist" displays the number of incomplete check items among the check items in the in progress box display. Furthermore, when you click on "Deadline Task" or "Deadline Checklist", the "List of Issues in the In Progress Box Display" is displayed at the bottom of the dashboard screen M6 (not shown). Furthermore, when you click on the project name in the "List of Issues in the In Progress Box Display", the corresponding "Task" or "Checklist" screen on the project implementation screen M3 is displayed.

[0119] The "Task Alert" display shows the number of task items in the In Progress Box that are due today or have passed their deadline but are incomplete. The "Checksheet Alert" displays the number of check items in the In Progress Box that are due today but are incomplete. In addition, clicking on "Task Alert" or "Checksheet Alert" displays the "List of Issues in the In Progress Box" at the bottom of the dashboard screen M6 (not shown). Furthermore, clicking on the project name in the "List of Issues in the In Progress Box" displays the corresponding "Task" or "Checksheet" screen on the project implementation screen M3.

[0120] The "Returned" display shows the number of "check sheets" that have been returned. A check sheet is returned when an approver (described later) finds an error in the content of the check after the person in charge has checked the check sheet.

[0121] The "Exceeded" display shows the number of boxes whose completion deadlines have passed. Also, when you click the "Exceeded" icon, the "Exceeded Box Display List" is displayed at the bottom of the dashboard screen M6 (not shown). Furthermore, when you click the project name in the "Exceeded Box Display List", the corresponding "Task" or "Checksheet" screen on the project implementation screen M3 is displayed.

[0122] The "Waiting for Approval" display shows the number of boxes where all tasks in the box display have been completed and can be approved. In addition, when you click the "Waiting for Approval" icon, the "List of Boxes Awaiting Approval" is displayed at the bottom of the dashboard screen M6 (not shown). Furthermore, when you click the project name in the "List of Boxes Awaiting Approval", the corresponding "Box Display" screen on the project implementation screen M3 is displayed.

[0123] The "Approval possible" display shows the number of boxes where all check items in the box display have been completed, but some task items are incomplete. In addition, when the "Approval possible" icon is clicked, the "Approval possible box display list" is displayed at the bottom of the dashboard screen M6 (not shown). Furthermore, when the project name in the "Approval possible box display list" is clicked, the corresponding "Box display" screen on the project implementation screen M3 is displayed.

[0124] Next, a description will be given of operations for creating and editing project template information in the business management system S. Project template information can be created and edited by the editor terminal 12. The business management system S has a template management screen M7 (see FIG. 9) for managing project templates.

[0125] As shown in Fig. 9, when a "Create new" button 701 on the template management screen M7 is clicked, an input screen (not shown) for inputting the information required for project template registration is displayed. The input screen displays items such as the template name, template summary, template creation date, selectable category tag, original template or blank template selection, category tag updates, customer information, etc., and each of these can be input or selected. A new template is created by pressing the "Register new" button with the relevant items input or selected.

[0126] 9, clicking the "CSV Upload" button 702 on the template management screen M7 displays a new CSV upload registration screen (not shown). On the new CSV upload registration screen, it is possible to attach a file, and to upload template information of a project template that has been created separately in CSV format. The uploaded template information is created as a new template.

[0127] In addition, the template information stored in the memory unit 21 of the business management system S can also be downloaded in CSV format, and the downloaded template information can also be edited in CSV format to create new template information.

[0128] Furthermore, when the corresponding template display on the template management screen M7 is clicked, an update registration screen (not shown) is displayed. On the update registration screen, items such as the template name, template summary, template creation date, selectable category tag, original template or blank template selection, category tag update, customer information, etc. are displayed and each can be edited. Note that on the update registration screen, it is also possible to delete project template information, but it is set up so that project template information used in an ongoing project cannot be deleted.

[0129] By editing the project template, the changes are applied to the project template used in each piece of project information. That is, the multiple box displays, multiple check items, multiple task items, material information, etc. included in the multiple pieces of project information are linked to the template information, and by changing at least one of the multiple box displays, multiple check items, multiple task items, material information, etc. in the template information, the corresponding box displays, corresponding check items, corresponding task items, and material information included in all of the project information are changed.

[0130] In this embodiment, the project information 301 can be viewed by logging in to the business management system S from the client terminal 14. For example, the client terminal 14 can view the overall progress of the project and the progress of each task. However, the client terminal 14 cannot view all information, and cannot view certain information that is subject to viewing restrictions.

[0131] In this embodiment, basically all information can be viewed from the general user terminal 11. This allows the person who actually performs each task to check the status of their ongoing tasks and check items, and submit completion applications for check items and task items.

[0132] In this embodiment, the approver terminal 12 can view all information, and can also approve a completion request from the general user terminal 11, and can display boxes and mark the status of the entire project as completed. This makes it possible to centrally manage the progress and management of the entire project.

[0133] In this embodiment, the project implementation screen M3 has been described as displaying only one project. However, if the logged-in person is involved in multiple projects, the project implementation screen M3 may display multiple projects side-by-side in the vertical direction.

[0134] In this embodiment, work is carried out using a work management system S according to the work content of the construction project.

[0135] The above detailed description is intended to provide specific embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention based on the suggestions of the embodiments. Such changes and modifications are also included within the scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]
