[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a task support device, a task support method, and a task support program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments.

[0014] [1. Overview] An overview of this embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 1, a person in charge changes the sub-expansion interruption category for semi-finished products in the manufacturing process instruction master from "expand" to "do not expand" in advance, and then performs a required quantity calculation. As a result, manufacturing instruction data (product assembly process) is created, an instruction sheet is issued and confirmed, and then manufacturing instruction data (semi-finished product assembly process) is created, an instruction sheet is issued and confirmed, but no ordering data (purchased parts) is created. This makes it possible to handle cases where parts do not need to be ordered because they are in stock, etc.

[0015] When the manufacturing process instruction master is set in this way, if inventory runs out and parts need to be ordered, the person in charge must take steps to change the manufacturing process instruction master. However, the person in charge may not realize this and may carry out a requirement calculation without changing the manufacturing process instruction master, resulting in a situation where order data is not created.

[0016] Therefore, in this embodiment, when calculating the required quantity, the user is prevented from forgetting to return the "lower development interruption category" in the manufacturing process instruction master.

[0017] [2. Configuration] An example of the configuration of the task assistance device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2 etc. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the task assistance device 100.

[0018] The business support device 100 is constructed based on a commercially available desktop personal computer. The business support device 100 is not limited to being constructed based on a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may be constructed based on a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a smartphone, or a tablet personal computer.

[0019] The business support device 100 includes a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108. The units included in the business support device 100 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via any communication path.

[0020] The communication interface unit 104 communicatively connects the task assistance device 100 to the network 300 via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line. The communication interface unit 104 has a function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the task assistance device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The data stored in the memory unit 106 may be stored in the server 200, for example.

[0021] An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input / output interface unit 108. The output device 114 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that cooperates with a mouse to realize a pointing device function. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as the keyboard 112 or the mouse 112.

[0022] Various databases, tables, files, etc. are stored in the storage unit 106. Computer programs for cooperating with an OS (Operating System) to give instructions to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes are recorded in the storage unit 106. For example, memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), fixed disk devices such as hard disks, flexible disks, and optical disks can be used as the storage unit 106.

[0023] The memory unit 106 stores a manufacturing configuration master 106a (corresponding to the configuration master of the present invention), a manufacturing process instruction master 106b (corresponding to the first master of the present invention), an order condition master 106c, plan data 106d (corresponding to the plan data of the present invention), manufacturing instruction data 106e, manufacturing instruction delivery data 106f, and order data 106g (corresponding to the order data of the present invention), etc.

[0024] The manufacturing configuration master 106a is for managing product configuration information, as shown in Fig. 3. The manufacturing configuration master 106a stores product identification information (e.g., product code, etc.) for identifying a product, lower-level product identification information (e.g., lower-level product code, etc.), constituent numerators, constituent denominators, etc.

[0025] The manufacturing process instruction master 106b manages the manufacturing process as shown in Fig. 3. The manufacturing process instruction master 106b stores product identification information, patterns corresponding to the process contents, process contents such as assembly, instruction classifications that distinguish between in-house production and outsourced production, instruction creation classifications, manufacturing destinations, sub-development interruption classifications that distinguish whether to create order data for lower-level parts, etc.

[0026] The order condition master 106c is for managing information related to orders, as shown in Fig. 3. The order condition master 106c stores product identification information, patterns corresponding to order categories, order categories, order creation categories, order destinations, and the like.

[0027] 4, the plan data 106d is for managing information set on a production plan input screen (not shown in the figure). The plan data 106d stores plan identification information (e.g., plan number, etc.), product identification information, planned quantity, production delivery date, etc.

[0028] 6, the manufacturing instruction data 106e is for managing information related to the manufacturing instruction after the required amount is calculated. The manufacturing instruction data 106e stores manufacturing instruction identification information (e.g., manufacturing instruction number, etc.) for identifying the manufacturing instruction, confirmation category, product identification information, number of manufacturing instructions, manufacturing instruction due date, category, and sub-expansion interruption category, etc.

[0029] The manufacturing instruction delivery data 106f is for managing information related to delivery of manufacturing instructions, as shown in Fig. 6. The manufacturing instruction delivery data 106f stores manufacturing instruction delivery identification information (e.g., manufacturing instruction delivery number, etc.) for identifying a manufacturing instruction delivery, product identification information, delivery required amount, required date, etc.

[0030] The order data 106g is for managing order information, as shown in Fig. 6. The order data 106g stores order identification information (e.g., order number, etc.) for identifying an order, a confirmation category, product identification information, an order quantity, an order delivery date, etc.

[0031] 2, the control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the business support 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 information processing based on these stored programs.

[0032] The control unit 102 conceptually comprises, functionally, a production plan input unit 102a, a manufacturing process instruction unit 102b, and a required quantity calculation unit 102c (including a confirmation extraction unit, an order data generation unit, a display control unit, and a setting change unit of the present invention).

[0033] The production plan input unit 102a displays a production plan input screen (not shown), and stores the plan number, product code, planned quantity, and production delivery date set by a person in charge on the production plan input screen in plan data 106d to generate plan data 106d.

[0034] The manufacturing process instruction unit 102b displays a manufacturing process instruction master setting screen (not shown), and stores the product code, pattern, process content, instruction category, instruction creation category, manufacturing destination, and sub-expansion interruption category set by the person in charge on the manufacturing process instruction master setting screen in the manufacturing process instruction master 106b, thereby generating the manufacturing process instruction master 106b. Note that when the person in charge sets the sub-expansion interruption category to "expand" on the manufacturing process instruction master setting screen, order data 106g for lower-level parts is generated. On the other hand, when the person in charge sets the sub-expansion interruption category to "do not expand," order data 106g for lower-level parts is not generated.

[0035] The required amount calculation unit 102c performs the following processes (11) to (14). (11) A requirements calculation processing screen (not shown) for instructing batch processing of requirements calculations is displayed. (12) When the execute button is pressed on the requirement calculation processing screen, the manufacturing configuration master 106a, the manufacturing process instruction master 106b, and the order condition master 106c are referenced based on the plan data 106d, and manufacturing instruction data 106e, manufacturing instruction delivery data 106f, and order data 106g are generated. (13) Before executing the process of (12), a check is made to see if there are any records in which the sub-expansion interruption classification of the manufacturing process instruction master 106b is set to “do not expand.” If any records are present, an alert is displayed and the person in charge is asked to confirm whether or not to change the sub-expansion interruption classification of the manufacturing process instruction master 106b to “expand.” (14) When an instruction to change is received in response to the alert in (13), the sub-expansion interruption category in the manufacturing process instruction master 106b is changed to "expand" and the process in (12) is carried out.

[0036] [3. Specific examples of processing] A specific example of the process executed by the task assistance device 100 configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG.

[0037] (Register production plans) The person in charge issues an instruction to display a production plan input screen (not shown).

[0038] The production plan input unit 102a displays a production plan input screen. The production plan input unit 102a has a person in charge or the like register a production plan on the production plan input screen, stores the plan number "0001," the product code "A01," the planned quantity "10," and the manufacturing due date "4 / 10" in the plan data 106d, and generates the plan data 106d (step S1, see FIG. 4).

[0039] (Changes to manufacturing process instruction master) The person in charge issues an instruction to display a manufacturing process instruction master setting screen (not shown).

[0040] The manufacturing process instruction unit 102b displays a manufacturing process instruction master setting screen.

[0041] The person in charge instructs the system to change the sub-expansion interruption classification for the data of the target product code "B01" from "Expand" to "Do not expand" and register it on the manufacturing process instruction master setting screen.

[0042] The manufacturing process instruction unit 102b changes the sub-expansion interruption classification for the data of the target product code "B01" in the manufacturing process instruction master 106b from "expand" to "do not expand" and registers it (step S2, see FIG. 5).

[0043] (Perform requirement calculation) The person in charge issues an instruction to display a required amount calculation processing screen (not shown).

[0044] The requirement calculation unit 102c displays a requirement calculation processing screen.

[0045] Next, the person in charge presses the execute button on the requirement calculation processing screen.

[0046] The process of the required quantity calculation unit 102c will be described using the low-level part code "a01" as an example.

[0047] (3-1) The requirement calculation unit 102c refers to the manufacturing process instruction master 106b based on the plan data 106d, and stores the record of the product code "A01" (manufacturing instruction number "101", confirmation classification "undetermined", product code "A01", number of manufacturing instructions "10", manufacturing instruction due date "4 / 10", classification "in-house production", sub-expansion suspension classification "expand") in the manufacturing instruction data 106e, thereby generating the manufacturing instruction data 106e (step S3, see FIG. 6).

[0048] Next, the requirement calculation unit 102c refers to the manufacturing configuration master 106a based on the planning data 106d, stores the record of the semi-finished product code "B01" (manufacturing instruction issue number "001", product code "B01", required issue amount "10", required date "4 / 10") in the manufacturing instruction issue data 106f, and generates the manufacturing instruction issue data 106f (step S3, see Figure 6).

[0049] Next, the requirement calculation unit 102c, based on the plan data 106d, refers to the manufacturing configuration master 106a and the manufacturing process instruction master 106b, and stores the record of the semi-finished product with product code "B01" (manufacturing instruction number "102", confirmation category "unconfirmed", product code "B01", manufacturing instruction quantity "10", manufacturing instruction due date "4 / 10", category "in-house production", and sub-expansion interruption category "do not expand") in the manufacturing instruction data 106e, thereby generating the manufacturing instruction data 106e (step S3, see FIG. 6).

[0050] Next, the requirement calculation unit 102c refers to the manufacturing configuration master 106a based on the planning data 106d, stores the record (manufacturing instruction issue number "002", product code "a01", required issue amount "30", required date "4 / 10") of the lower-level product code "a01", which is a part of the semi-finished product code "B01", in the manufacturing instruction issue data 106f, and generates the manufacturing instruction issue data 106f (step S3, see Figure 6).

[0051] Next, the requirement calculation unit 102c refers to the manufacturing configuration master 106a and the manufacturing process instruction master 106b based on the plan data 106d, and generates order data 106g for lower-level product code "a01", which is a part of the semi-finished product code "B01". However, because the lower-level expansion interruption category in the manufacturing process instruction master 106b for the product code "B01" is "do not expand", the requirement calculation unit 102c does not generate order data 106g for the lower-level product code "a01" (step S3, see FIG. 6).

[0052] (3-2) After the person in charge presses the execute button on the requirement calculation processing screen, the requirement calculation unit 102c refers to the manufacturing process instruction master 106b based on the plan data 106d and checks the sub-expansion interruption classification of the manufacturing process instruction master 106b related to the product to be manufactured. The requirement calculation unit 102c checks and extracts data for which the sub-expansion interruption classification of the manufacturing process instruction master 106b is set to "do not expand" (step S3, see FIG. 7).

[0053] When the requirement calculation unit 102c confirms that the manufacturing process instruction master 106b has a sub-expansion interruption category set to "do not expand," it displays a message on the screen, for example, "There is master whose sub-expansion interruption category is set to "do not expand." Would you like to update it to "expand?" and displays "Yes" or "No" as selectable answers (step S3, see FIG. 7).

[0054] If the person in charge selects “Yes,” the requirement calculation unit 102c updates the sub-expansion suspension classification of the manufacturing process instruction master 106b from “do not expand” to “expand,” and performs the requirement calculation process (step S3, see FIG. 7).

[0055] If the person in charge selects "No," the requirement calculation unit 102c performs the requirement calculation process while leaving the sub-expansion interruption category of the manufacturing process instruction master 106b at "Do not expand." Note that the above (3-1) is the case where the person in charge selects "No" in response to the message and executes the process.

[0056] (Effects of the embodiment) When ordering purchased parts, etc., during the manufacturing sequence of a product, it was sometimes impossible to prevent the ordering action depending on the inventory status and the ordering status. For example, when the manufacturing sequence is usually arranged, but the purchased parts were arranged in advance as a forecast production, the required quantity of purchased parts was ordered as usual due to the manufacturing sequence arrangement. Also, when the normal arrangement of a manufactured product was "in-house production" (in-house manufacturing), but when it was desired to switch to a "outsourcing" request that included the procurement of purchased parts, the procurement instruction for the purchased parts was also given at the same time.

[0057] When "production number arrangement" is used at the time of manufacturing instructions, in order to prevent instructions to purchased parts from being expanded, an item called "sub-expansion suspension category" is provided in the master (for example, manufacturing process instruction master 106b) and a function is implemented to switch from "expand" to "do not expand." When the person in charge executes the required quantity calculation after switching in the master, an instruction to arrange for the purchased parts is not created.

[0058] On the other hand, there was a case where the person in charge arranged for the serial number while the classification was switched to "Do not expand", and the procurement of purchased parts was essential, but the purchase order was not placed. Therefore, it became possible to prevent such a situation from occurring by displaying an alert when there is an item set to "Do not expand" in the master.

[0059] [4. Contribution to the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)] This embodiment can contribute to improving business efficiency and promoting appropriate management decisions by companies, thereby contributing to goals 8 and 9 of the SDGs.

[0060] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to reducing waste and promoting paperless and electronic systems, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 12, 13, and 15.

[0061] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, making it possible to contribute to Goal 16 of the SDGs.
