Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, a project management device according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0013] (Hardware Configuration) As shown in FIG. 1, the project management device 1 of the embodiment includes a storage unit 2, a control unit 3, a communication interface unit 4, and an input / output interface unit 5. An input device 6 and an output device 7 are connected to the input / output interface unit 5. As the output device 7, a display unit such as a monitor device (including a home television), a printing device, or a speaker device corresponds. As the input device 6, in addition to a keyboard device, a mouse device, and a microphone device, a monitor device that realizes a pointing device function in cooperation with the mouse device can be used.

[0014] The communication interface unit 4 is connected to a network 50 such as a wide area network such as the Internet or a private network such as a LAN (Local Area Network). Connected to the network 50 are an administrator terminal device 51 of an administrator who performs budget input for projects and so on, and a person-in-charge terminal device 52 of each person-in-charge who performs project work and inputs daily reports and so on.

[0015] As the memory unit 2, for example, a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or SSD (Solid State Drive) can be used. In the memory unit 2, a project management program capable of early identifying the deviation between the planned progress and the actual results of the project and making plan changes (corrections) is stored. Further, in this memory unit 2, there are provided a project information storage unit 11, a person in charge master table 12, a buffer days master table 13, a unit price master table 14 by person in charge, a budget information storage unit 15, a work schedule information storage unit 16, and a daily report information storage unit 17, which are storage areas respectively.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the project information storage unit 11 stores project information including a project number uniquely assigned to each project, a project name, the construction period of each project, and the construction amount of each project.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 3, the person in charge master table 12 stores the person in charge code of each person in charge who performs the work of the project, the supervisor code of the supervisor of each person in charge, and the email address (it may also be a phone number, address, etc. if it is contact information) of each person in charge.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 4, the buffer days master table 13 stores the person in charge code of each person in charge, the revision date, the construction amount threshold information (less than the construction amount), and the monthly buffer days (alert reference time).

[0019] The monthly buffer days is the alert reference time set for each person in charge. That is, it indicates the allowable overtime of the working hours of that person in charge in a month. In the case of the example in FIG. 4, the alert reference time is set in units of so-called "man-days" where the work amount of one person in charge in one day is set to "1", for example, "0.5 (man-days)", "2 (man-days)", etc.

[0020] In addition, the construction cost threshold information (less than the construction cost) indicates the construction cost of the project to which the above-mentioned monthly buffer days are applied for each person in charge. The example in Figure 4 shows that when Mr. Sato with the person-in-charge code of "T001" performs the work of a project with a construction cost of "less than 10 million yen", the monthly buffer days such as "0.5 (person-days)" are applied.

[0021] In the person-in-charge specific unit price master table 14, the daily unit price corresponding to the work fee for one day is set for each person in charge who performs the work of the project. Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the person-in-charge specific unit price master table 14 stores the person-in-charge code, the revision date, and the daily unit price.

[0022] (Functional configuration of the project management device) Next, the control unit 3 functions as an acquisition unit 21, a budget information generation unit 22, a work schedule information generation unit 23, a daily report information generation unit 24, a notification control unit 25, and an output control unit 26 as shown in Figure 1 by executing the project management program stored in the storage unit 2.

[0023] The acquisition unit 21 acquires budget information input via the administrator terminal device 51, work schedule information and daily report information input via the person-in-charge terminal device 52, etc.

[0024] The budget information generation unit 22 generates budget information (refer to Figure 9) including the assigned days of the project person in charge (refer to Figure 9) set for each partial period which is a predetermined period (for example, monthly) during the construction period of the project (refer to Figure 2), and the budget amount for each partial period calculated by multiplying the assigned days by the daily unit price of the person in charge (refer to Figure 5), and stores it in the budget information storage unit 15.

[0025] The work schedule information generation unit 23 generates work schedule information including the daily work schedule time for the project scheduled for the person in charge (refer to Figure 10), and stores it in the work schedule information storage unit 16.

[0026] The daily report information generation unit 24 generates daily report information including the actual working hours per day for a project, and stores it in the daily report information storage unit 17 (see Fig. 11).

[0027] The notification control unit 25 acquires from the daily report information storage unit 17 the actual working hours of the person in charge for each day before the reference date, which is the specified day, in the specified partial period. Also, the notification control unit 25 acquires from the work schedule information storage unit 16 the scheduled working hours of the person in charge for each day after the reference date. Further, when the total working hours obtained by adding the acquired actual working hours per day before the reference date and the acquired scheduled working hours per day after the reference date is different from a predetermined alert reference time (the number of buffer days per month shown in Fig. 4), the notification control unit 25 performs predetermined notification control.

[0028] As the notification control, for example, an e-mail corresponding to an alert may be sent to the administrator terminal device 51 and / or the person-in-charge terminal device 52 (see Fig. 3). Alternatively, a monitor device may be provided as the output device 7 to display a message corresponding to the alert. Alternatively, a speaker device may be provided as the output device 7 to output an audio message or an electronic sound corresponding to the alert.

[0029] The budget information generation unit 22 generates budget information including the changed budget amount for each partial period by multiplying the number of assigned days for each partial period (e.g., monthly, etc.) of the person in charge of the project, which has been changed based on the notification control, by the daily unit price of the person in charge, and stores it in the budget information storage unit 15 (see Fig. 14).

[0030] The budget information generation unit 22 generates budget information including change reason information indicating the reason for the change, which is input together with the changed number of assigned days, and stores it in the budget information storage unit 15 (see Fig. 14).

[0031] The work schedule information generation unit 23 generates work schedule information including the scheduled working hours per day for the project, which is scheduled for the person in charge and has been changed based on the notification control, and stores it in the work schedule information storage unit 16 (see Fig. 15).

[0032] The work schedule information generation unit 23 generates work schedule information including change reason information indicating the reason for the change of the work schedule time, which is input together with the changed work schedule time, and stores it in the work schedule information storage unit 16 (see FIG. 15).

[0033] The output control unit 26 reads out from each of the storage units 15 to 17 the assigned days of all the persons in charge and the assigned days, work schedule time, actual working hours, reason for the change of the assigned days, and reason for the change of the work schedule time before and after the change of the work schedule time, and outputs them to an external device. As the external device, the output device 7 can be used. When the output device 7 is a monitor device, each piece of information output from the output control unit 26 can be displayed via the monitor device, and an administrator or the like can check the work status of each worker of the project.

[0034] Also, when the output device 7 is a printing device, a print output of each piece of information output from the output control unit 26 can be obtained, and an administrator or the like can check the work status of each worker of the project. Further, when the output device 7 is a speaker device, an audio output of each piece of information output from the output control unit 26 can be obtained, and an administrator or the like can check the work status of each worker of the project by voice.

[0035] Also, the notification control unit 25 calculates the number of working days by one person in charge by dividing the total working time obtained by adding the actual working hours per day before the reference date and the work schedule time per day after the reference date by the predetermined working time per day. Further, the notification control unit 25 calculates the difference in days between the calculated number of working days and the assigned days of the person in charge, and when the calculated difference in days is different from the buffer days (see FIG. 4), which is the alert reference time allowing an excess in a partial period (for example, "month"), a predetermined notification control is performed (when the number of days exceeds and when the number of days is insufficient).

[0036] As the specified notification control, an alert email may be automatically generated and sent to each person in charge based on the email address stored in the person-in-charge master table 12 shown in FIG. 3, or an alert voice message, electronic sound, etc. may be output via the speaker device.

[0037] Also, the buffer days are set according to the construction amount for alert determination, which is the construction amount of each project (see FIG. 4). When the construction amount of the project is less than the construction amount for alert determination, the notification control unit 25 performs the above-described notification control.

[0038] (Management operation of project work status) FIGS. 6 to 8 are diagrams for explaining the outline of the management operation of the project work status in the project management apparatus 1 of the embodiment. Among them, FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the operation at the time of budget formulation and the daily management operation. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the management operation during the month. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the confirmation operation (review) of the work status before and after the change of the work schedule.

[0039] The management operations shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 are realized by the control unit 3 of the project management apparatus 1 functioning as the acquisition unit 21 to the output control unit 26 shown in FIG. 1 based on the project management program stored in the storage unit 2.

[0040] In this example, the acquisition unit 21 to the output control unit 26 are realized by a software program based on the project management program. However, all or part of the acquisition unit 21 to the output control unit 26 may be realized by hardware. In any case, the same effects as those described later can be obtained.

[0041] (Operation at the time of budget formulation) First, in FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 9, the administrator inputs the project number, budget revision date, number of budget changes (which is 0 at this time), reason for change (no change at this time: initial registration), project in-charge person (person in charge of the case), cost item classification, person in charge, scheduled month, and assigned days through the administrator terminal device 51.

[0042] The assigned days are calculated by the arithmetic formula of "80 hours (total working hours) ÷ 8 hours (1 person-day, fixed value)" when the working hours of the project with the project number "P001" are, for example, "80 hours" and 1 person-day is set as "8 hours". In the case of this example, the assigned days of "10 person-days" are calculated.

[0043] The example in FIG. 6 is an example where "Mr. Sato" with the person-in-charge code "T001" and "Mr. Tanaka" with the person-in-charge code "T002" are registered as the persons in charge respectively. Also, in the example of FIG. 6, the construction period of the project is from April 2023 to September 2023. For "Mr. Sato", "10 person-days" are assigned as the assigned days for April and September 2023, and "15 person-days" are assigned as the assigned days for May to August 2023. Also, in the example of FIG. 6, for "Mr. Tanaka", "20 person-days" are assigned as the assigned days for April to June 2023, and "0 person-days" are assigned as the working days for July to September 2023.

[0044] Such budget information is sent from the administrator terminal device 51 to the project management device 1 and acquired by the acquisition unit 21. The budget information generation unit 22 of the project management device 1 multiplies the assigned days of each month of each person in charge included in the acquired budget information by the daily unit price of each person in charge set in the person-in-charge-by-person unit price master table 14 shown in FIG. 5 respectively, to generate budget information with the budget amount (labor cost budget amount) of each person in charge for each month input as shown in FIG. 9, and stores and controls this in the budget information storage unit 15.

[0045] In this example, the project management device 1 calculates the budget amount. However, on the side of the administrator terminal device 51, the budget amount for each person in charge for each month may be calculated based on the assigned number of days and the unit price per day input by the administrator. In this case, budget information including the budget amount is transmitted from the administrator terminal device 51, and the acquisition unit 21 of the project management device 1 acquires this and stores it in the budget information storage unit 15.

[0046] (Daily operations) Next, on a daily basis, each person in charge acquires and refers to the budget information stored in the budget information storage unit 15 of the project management device 1 via the person-in-charge terminal device 52, and checks the working hours assigned by the administrator. Then, the worker inputs, via the person-in-charge terminal device 52, the planned working hours for the project for which work is to be carried out on each working day of a predetermined month such as April, and transmits it to the project management device 1.

[0047] The acquisition unit 21 of the project management device 1 acquires the planned working hours and the like transmitted from the person in charge, and temporarily stores them in the storage unit 2. When this planned working hours and the like are approved by the administrator on the project management device 1 side, the planned working hours information generation unit 23 generates the planned working hours information illustrated in FIG. 10 and stores it in the planned working hours information storage unit 16. In the planned working hours information, as shown in FIG. 10, for each day of a predetermined month such as April, the project number and the working hours of the project for which a person in charge such as "Mr. Sato" performs work are registered.

[0048] This example in FIG. 10 shows that the person in charge, Mr. Sato, plans to work 4 hours on the project with the project number "P001" and 4 hours on the project with the project number "P002" out of the 8 hours (fixed) of working hours on weekdays from April 3 (Monday) to April 28 (Friday).

[0049] When the work schedule information of each person in charge is registered in this way, each person in charge performs a daily report input operation of registering the working hours (actual results) for each project in the daily report for each working day via the person-in-charge terminal device 52. Information indicating the actual results input by each person in charge is transmitted from the person-in-charge terminal device 52 to the project management device 1. The daily report information generation unit 24 of the project management device 1 generates the daily report information illustrated in FIG. 11 based on the information indicating the actual results input by each person in charge, and stores this in the daily report information storage unit 17.

[0050] This example in FIG. 11 shows an example where the person in charge, "Mr. Sato", worked on the project "P001" for 4 hours and also worked on the project "P002" for 4 hours on April 3 (Monday). Also, the example in FIG. 11 shows that the person in charge, "Mr. Sato", worked on the project "P001" for 2 hours instead of the planned 4 hours and worked on the project "P002" for 6 hours instead of the planned 4 hours on April 4 (Tuesday). Further, this example in FIG. 11 shows that the working pattern where the person in charge, "Mr. Sato", worked on the project "P001" for 2 hours and worked on the project "P002" for 6 hours (a working pattern different from the plan) continued from April 4 (Tuesday) to April 7 (Friday).

[0051] (Operation during the month) Next, during the month, the administrator of the project management device 1 specifies a desired project number, a desired person in charge, a desired working month, and a reference date to check the deviation between the planned and actual (check the divergence).

[0052] The notification control unit 25 reads out the performance of the dates before the reference date (excluding the reference date) in the specified project, person in charge, and working month from the daily report information storage unit 17, and temporarily stores it in the storage unit 2. Further, the notification control unit 25 reads out the work schedule information after the reference date (including the reference date) from the work schedule information storage unit 16, and temporarily stores it in the storage unit 2. As a result, although it is an image, in the storage unit 2, as shown in FIG. 12, for each day of the specified project, person in charge, and working month, the working hours of the days before the reference date and the list data of the work schedule hours after the reference date are stored.

[0053] This example in FIG. 12 is list data generated by respectively specifying the project with the project number of "P001", "Mr. Sato" with the person in charge code of "T001", and "April 10th (Monday)" as the reference date. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12, the working hours (actual hours) on weekdays from "April 3rd (Monday)" to "April 7th (Friday)", which are the dates before the reference date of "April 10th (Monday)", are read out and collected from the daily report information storage unit 17 by the notification control unit 25. On the other hand, the work schedule hours on weekdays from "April 10th (Monday)" to "April 28th (Friday)", which are the dates after the reference date of "April 10th (Monday)" (including April 10th), are read out and collected from the work schedule information storage unit 16 by the notification control unit 25.

[0054] Next, the notification control unit 25 calculates the total working hours by adding the working hours (actual hours) of the dates before the reference date and the work schedule hours after the reference date. In the case of the example in FIG. 12, since the working hours (actual hours) of the dates before the reference date are "12 hours" and the work schedule hours after the reference date are "60 hours", the total working hours are "72 hours".

[0055] Next, the notification control unit 25 calculates the number of working days by dividing the calculated total working hours by "8 hours (fixed value)", which is one person-day in this example. In the case of this example, the notification control unit 25 divides the calculated total working hours of "72 hours" by "8 hours" of one person-day to calculate the number of working days of "9 person-days".

[0056] Here, as shown in the budget information of FIG. 9, the assigned man-days for April 2023 is "10 man-days". Therefore, the notification control unit 25 subtracts the calculated working days of "9 man-days" from the assigned man-days of "10 man-days" to calculate the "difference in days". In this example, the difference in days is "10 man-days - 9 man-days = 1 man-day".

[0057] Next, the notification control unit 25 detects the monthly buffer days set for "Mr. Sato" in this example in the buffer days master table 13 shown in FIG. 4. In this example, the monthly buffer days of "0.5 man-days" set for "Mr. Sato" are detected.

[0058] The notification control unit 25 determines whether the absolute value of the calculated difference in days exceeds the detected monthly buffer days of "0.5 man-days" (absolute value of difference in days > monthly buffer days). And when the absolute value of the difference in days exceeds the monthly buffer days, the notification control unit 25 determines this event as an event to be alerted. In this example, since the "absolute value of 1" of the difference in days exceeds "0.5 man-days", the notification control unit 25 determines this event as an event to be notified (alert target).

[0059] A figure summarizing such total working hours (72 hours), working days (9 man-days), assigned man-days (10 man-days), difference (-1 man-day), monthly buffer days (0.5 man-days), and that this event is an alert target is FIG. 13.

[0060] On the contrary, when the absolute value of the calculated difference in days is less than the detected monthly buffer days (absolute value of difference in days < monthly buffer days), the notification control unit 25 determines that this event is not an event to be notified and does not perform the notification control described below.

[0061] Next, when the notification control unit 25 determines that it is an event to be notified (alert target), it refers to the person-in-charge master table 12 shown in FIG. 3 and acquires the email addresses of each person-in-charge. Then, the notification control unit 25 automatically creates an email text indicating that an event exceeding the monthly buffer days has occurred, and based on the email addresses acquired from the person-in-charge master table 12, as shown in FIG. 7, it sends an email to the administrator terminal device 51 of the administrator and the person-in-charge terminal devices 52 of each person-in-charge. Thereby, it is possible to notify the administrator or the like that an event exceeding the monthly buffer days has occurred.

[0062] Next, when the administrator recognizes the deviation (divergence) between the plan and the actual by the above email, the administrator discusses the countermeasure method with the person-in-charge and the supervisor of the person-in-charge. As a result of this discussion, for example, it is assumed that it is found that "Mr. Sato" with the person-in-charge code "T001" needs to work 6 hours a day for the project with the project number "P002" until April 21 (Friday).

[0063] Also, in response to this situation, 1. The first countermeasure plan is to share the shortage of Mr. Sato with "Mr. Tanaka" with the person-in-charge code "T002" and work together, and 2. The second countermeasure plan is to review the assignment for the current month and adjust the shortage after the next month. It is assumed that these two countermeasure plans are devised.

[0064] Among these two countermeasure plans, in the case of the first target plan, since the daily unit price of "Mr. Tanaka" with the person-in-charge code "T002" is "2 million yen" as shown in FIG. 5 and is high, it causes the disadvantage of soaring costs. Therefore, as a result of the discussion among the administrator, the person-in-charge, and the supervisor of the person-in-charge, it is assumed that it is decided to make adjustments after the next month with the second countermeasure plan.

[0065] Specifically, it is assumed that the assigned days of "Mr. Sato" with the person-in-charge code "T001" are changed from 10 person-days to 8 person-days, and the shortage of working hours for the project "P001" in April is determined to be adjusted by working 8 hours of overtime in the current month.

[0066] With this decision, the administrator changes the assigned days for "Mr. Sato" with the person-in-charge code "T001" in April from 10 person-days to 8 person-days via the administrator terminal device 51, as shown in FIG. 14. Also, along with the change in the assigned days for April, the administrator redistributes the "2 person-days" of assigned days that are insufficient for April to the assigned days for May and June, adding 1 person-day to each, and makes a change input to compensate for the shortage of the assigned days for April.

[0067] The budget information generation unit 22 of the project management device 1 changes the budget amount (labor cost) for April in the budget information stored in the budget information storage unit 15 from "1 million yen" to "800,000 yen" in response to the administrator's change input. Also, the budget information generation unit 22 changes the budget amounts for May and June, whose assigned days are changed from "15 person-days" to "16 person-days" respectively, from "1.5 million yen" to "1.6 million yen (100,000 yen × 16 person-days)" respectively.

[0068] Also, the administrator inputs the revision date such as "April 7, 2023" when such a budget amount revision is made, and inputs the reason for the change: "Due to the increase in the work of P002 for T001 (Sato), the assigned days are changed from 10 person-days to 8 person-days. The shortage is compensated by working 8 hours of overtime this month."

[0069] The budget information generation unit 22 of the project management device 1 sets the budget revision date and the reason for the change input by the administrator to the budget revision date and the reason for the change in the budget information stored in the budget information storage unit 15 respectively. Also, each time such a change in the budget information is made, the budget information generation unit 22 increments the budget change count of the budget information by one. Since this is the first change, the budget information generation unit 22 increments the budget change count from "0" to "1".

[0070] Also, in this example, "Mr. Sato" with the person-in-charge code "T001" requires 6 hours of work per day for the project with the project number "P002". Therefore, the work schedule information generation unit 23 of the project management apparatus 1 changes the work schedule time of Mr. Sato for April stored in the work schedule information storage unit 16 according to the administrator's change input. From April 10th (Monday) to April 21st (Friday), on Mondays, the work hours for the projects "P001" and "P002" are both changed to "4 hours". Also, according to the administrator's change input, the work schedule information generation unit 23 changes the work hours so that from Tuesday to Friday, the work hours for the project "P001" are "2 hours" and the work hours for the project "P002" are "6 hours".

[0071] Also, in this example, the shortage of work hours for Mr. Sato with the person-in-charge code "T001" for the project "P001" in April was determined by working 8 hours of overtime in the same month. Therefore, the work schedule information generation unit 23 of the project management apparatus 1 changes the work hours so that from April 24th (Monday) to April 27th (Thursday), the work hours for the project "P001" are "6 hours (normal work hours of 4 hours + 2 hours of overtime)" and the work hours for the project "P002" are "4 hours (normal work hours)".

[0072] As a result, by working 2 hours of overtime each day from April 24th (Monday) to April 27th (Thursday), the shortage of 8 hours of work hours for the project "P001" in April can be compensated for.

[0073] Note that after the shortage of work hours has been covered, the work schedule information generation unit 23 restores the work hours so that the work hours for the projects "P001" and "P002" on April 28th (Friday) are both "4 hours" (no change in work hours: the same work hours as before).

[0074] In addition, the work schedule information generation unit 23 of the project management device 1 sets the revised date and reason for change input by the administrator to the work revision date and reason for change of the work schedule information stored in the work schedule information storage unit 16, respectively. Further, each time the work schedule information generation unit 23 makes such a change to the work schedule information, it increments the number of work changes of the work schedule information by one. Since this is the first change, the work schedule information generation unit 23 increments the number of work changes from "0" to "1".

[0075] Next, the person in charge of the project work (Mr. Sato of T001) performs the work for April based on the changed work schedule time as shown in FIG. 15, and inputs the daily report for each work day via the person-in-charge terminal device 52 as described above. As a result, when the work for April is carried out according to the changed work schedule time, the daily report information shown in FIG. 16 is generated by the daily report information generation unit 24 and stored in the daily report information storage unit 17.

[0076] (Review operation) Next, the operation of the work status confirmation work (review) before and after such a change in the work schedule will be described.

[0077] When the administrator designates a work month such as "April 2023" and then designates the confirmation of the work status, the output control unit 26 reads out and outputs the performance information shown in FIG. 17(a) from the daily report information storage unit 17, and reads out and outputs the assignment information shown in FIG. 17(b) from the budget information storage unit 15. Further, the output control unit 26 reads out and outputs the work schedule time shown in FIG. 17(c) from the work schedule information storage unit 16, reads out and outputs the reason for change of the assignment information shown in FIG. 17(d) from the budget information storage unit 15, and reads out and stores the reason for change of the work schedule information from the work schedule information storage unit 16.

[0078] In addition, the output control unit 26 outputs such various types of information for each person in charge and for all persons in charge. The example in FIG. 17 corresponds to various types of information for "Mr. Sato" with the person-in-charge code of "T0001", and the example in FIG. 18 corresponds to various types of information for "Mr. Tanaka" with the person-in-charge code of "T0002". Thereby, the work status of all persons in charge in the designated working month can be confirmed.

[0079] In addition, as external devices for outputting such various types of information, an output device 7, an external storage device, a server device on the network 50, etc. can be used. When the output device 7 is a monitor device, various types of information can be displayed and confirmed. When the output device 7 is a printing device, various types of information can be printed and confirmed. When the output device 7 is a speaker device, various types of information can be confirmed by voice output of various types of information.

[0080] Specifically, in the case of "Mr. Sato" with the person-in-charge code of "T0001", as shown in FIG. 17(a), performance information including the number of project daily report days, the total number of daily report days, the number of business days, and the overtime hours is output for each project. Note that FIG. 17(a) shows the performance information of the project with the project code of "P001". It should be understood that the same performance information is also output for the project with the project code of "P002".

[0081] Number of project daily report days: Working hours of the daily report information of the corresponding project÷8 hours (1 person-day, fixed value) → "64 hours÷8 hours = 8 person-days" Total number of daily report days: Working hours of the daily report information÷8 hours (1 person-day, fixed value) → "160 hours÷8 hours = 20 person-days" Number of business days: Number of working days of the daily report information → "20 days" Number of overtime days: Total number of daily report days - (Number of business days×8 hours (1 person-day, fixed value)) → "20 person-days - 20 days×8 hours"

[0082] As assignment information, assignment information including the number of assignment days before and after the change is output as shown in Fig. 17(b). This example in Fig. 17(b) shows the assignment information output when the number of assignment days is set to "10 person-days" as the initial setting (March 20, 2023: change date (1)), but is changed to "8 person-days" on April 7, 2023 (change date (2)).

[0083] Change date (1): Budget revision date with change count 0 in budget information Number of assignment days (1): Number of assignment days with change count 0 in budget information Change date (2): Budget revision date with change count 1 in budget information Number of assignment days (2): Number of assignment days with change count 1 in budget information

[0084] As work schedule time information, work schedule time information including the number of planned work days before and after the change is output as shown in Fig. 17(c). This example in Fig. 17(c) shows the assignment information output when the planned work time is set to "10 person-days" as the initial setting (March 20, 2023: change date (1)), but is changed to "8 person-days" on April 7, 2023 (change date (2)).

[0085] Change date (1): Work revision date with work change count "0" in work schedule information Number of assignment days (1): Total planned work time (for the relevant project) with work change count "0" in work schedule information Change date (2): Work revision date with work change count "1" in work schedule information Number of assignment days (2): Total planned work time (for the relevant project) with work change count "1" in work schedule information

[0086] As the reason for the change, for example, the reason for the change in the assignment information such as "Due to the increase in the work of P002 by T001 (Sato), the assigned days are changed from 10 person-days to 8 person-days. The shortage is made up by working 8 hours of overtime this month." and the reason for the change in the work schedule time information are read out and output from the budget information storage unit 15 and the work schedule information storage unit 16 respectively.

[0087] Reason for change in assignment information (1): Reason for change in the number of changes "1" in the budget information Reason for change in work schedule information (1): Reason for change in the number of changes "1" in the work schedule information

[0088] Also, in the case of "Mr. Tanaka" whose person-in-charge code is "T0002", as shown in Fig. 18(a), for each project, performance information including the number of project daily report days, total daily report days, business days, and overtime hours is output. Note that Fig. 18(a) shows the performance information of the project with the project code "P001". It should be understood that similar performance information is also output for the project with the project code "P002".

[0089] Number of project daily report days: Working hours of the daily report information of the corresponding project ÷ 8 hours (1 person-day, fixed value) → "160 hours ÷ 8 hours = 20 person-days" Total number of daily reports: Working hours of the daily report information ÷ 8 hours (1 person-day, fixed value) → "160 hours ÷ 8 hours = 20 person-days" Number of business days: Number of days of the working days in the daily report information → "20 days" Number of overtime days: Total number of daily reports - Number of business days × 8 hours (1 person-day, fixed value) → "20 person-days - 20 days × 8 hours"

[0090] As the assignment information, assignment information including the number of assigned days before and after the change is output as shown in Fig. 18(b). However, in the case of "Mr. Tanaka" whose person-in-charge code is "T0002", since no change has been made to the assignment information, it becomes the assigned day (1) of "20 person-days" with the initial setting on March 20, 2023.

[0091] Similarly, in the case of "Mr. Tanaka" with the person-in-charge code of "T0002", since the scheduled working hours have not been changed, the scheduled number of working days remains the initial setting of "20 person-days" on March 20, 2023.

[0092] By outputting various information in this way, it is possible to compare the budget information (assignment information), work plan (schedule), and daily report (actual results) of the workers and managers, and examine the factors causing differences.

[0093] (Effect of the Embodiment) As is clear from the above description, in the project management device 1 of the embodiment, the person in charge of the project registers the labor cost budget (assigned amount) for each project, month, and person in charge. Also, when formulating the monthly work plan, each person in charge refers to the scheduled working hours (expected time) for their own project and examines the monthly work plan. Then, at the mid-month and end-month timings, the budget information, schedule information (work plan), and actual result information (daily report) are compared.

[0094] Thereby, it is possible to change the work plan according to the deviation between the plan and the actual results that can be quickly identified, and perform detailed plan-actual management.

[0095] In particular, in construction consulting, the proportion of labor costs is high and detailed management is required. Even in such a case, the project management device 1 of the embodiment can function effectively as described above and enable detailed management of labor costs and the like.
