Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a performance evaluation system, a performance evaluation program, and a performance evaluation method for evaluating the performance of a worker or a serving robot who serves sliced ​​meat in a container. [Background technology]

[0002] In meat processing plants such as process centers (for example, Patent Document 1), multiple workers stand beside a slicer and arrange the sliced ​​meat on trays, and there is a demand for evaluating the ability of each of these workers.

[0003] One possible method for evaluating ability is to tally up the number of packs that each worker has finished serving, calculate the number of packs per unit time, and consider this number as the worker's ability.

[0004] However, for example, workers who arrange minced meat do not need to worry too much about the appearance of the product, so the number of packs per unit time tends to increase. Conversely, workers who arrange sliced ​​meat for shabu-shabu, for example, do not tend to increase the number of packs per unit time, as appearance is important.

[0005] For this reason, simply comparing the number of packs per unit time does not allow for a proper evaluation of each worker's ability.

[0006] These problems can arise not only due to differences in how the product is presented, but also due to factors such as the type of sliced ​​meat (belly, loin, etc.) and the number of grams served in the pack.

[0007] Furthermore, the desire to accurately evaluate the capabilities of not only workers engaged in plating work, but also multiple plating robots installed in the same factory or in different factories is common. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-109493 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to accurately evaluate the capabilities of workers and serving robots in meat processing plants. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In other words, the ability evaluation system of the present invention is an ability evaluation system that evaluates the ability of a worker or a serving robot that serves sliced ​​meat cut from a meat slicer in containers, and is characterized by comprising: a pack number acquisition unit that acquires the number of serving packs, which is the number of containers in which sliced ​​meat has been served by the worker or the serving robot; a product information acquisition unit that acquires product information indicating at least one of the type of sliced ​​meat to be served in the container, the serving method, or the serving weight; and an ability calculation unit that calculates the ability of the worker or the serving robot by multiplying the number of serving packs acquired by the pack number acquisition unit by a coefficient corresponding to the product information acquired by the product information acquisition unit.

[0011] According to the ability evaluation system configured in this way, ability is calculated by multiplying the number of serving packs by a coefficient corresponding to the product information. For example, the number of serving packs for products that are easy to serve can be multiplied by a small coefficient, and conversely, the number of serving packs for products that are difficult to serve can be multiplied by a large coefficient, making it possible to accurately evaluate the ability of workers and serving robots.

[0012] It is preferable that the apparatus further comprises an output unit that outputs the ability values ​​calculated by the ability calculation unit for each of the plurality of workers or each of the serving robots. This makes it possible to compare the ability values ​​of each worker and serving robot, and to grasp at a glance the relative merits of each worker and serving robot.

[0013] It is preferable that the device further comprises an output unit that outputs the ability value calculated by the ability calculation unit for each of the plurality of pieces of product information. This makes it possible to compare the ability values ​​for multiple products, and to grasp at a glance which products each worker or plating robot is good at and which products they are not good at.

[0014] It is preferable to provide a coefficient calculation unit that calculates the coefficient based on the actual number of packs served by a plurality of the workers or the serving robot. In this case, the coefficients are calculated based on actual results, so that the most likely coefficients can be used on a case-by-case basis or at each time.

[0015] A more specific embodiment is one in which the coefficient calculation unit calculates as the coefficient the reciprocal of the average value of the actual number of packs served by all the workers or serving robots whose abilities are to be evaluated.

[0016] Depending on the progress of the plating work, for example, a worker who is progressing slowly may be assisted by a worker with high work ability, such as a leader or an experienced worker. In such cases, if the period during which the worker is receiving help from another worker is included in the ability evaluation period, the ability cannot be evaluated correctly. Therefore, it is preferable that the performance evaluation period, which is the period during which the performance values ​​used for calculating the coefficients by the coefficient calculation unit are extracted, is changeable. In this way, by setting the ability evaluation period to avoid periods when other workers are helping, for example, the abilities of workers and serving robots can be evaluated more accurately.

[0017] It is preferable to include a period receiving unit that receives the ability evaluation period input from outside. This allows a desired ability evaluation period to be input as needed, making it easy to use for those who wish to evaluate abilities.

[0018] It is preferable that the coefficient multiplied by the number of serving packs in a container in which multiple sliced ​​meat are served without being arranged is smaller than the coefficient multiplied by the number of serving packs in a container in which multiple sliced ​​meat are served after being arranged. This will be useful for evaluating the abilities of workers and serving robots who arrange and serve sliced ​​meat, and workers and serving robots who serve sliced ​​meat without arranging it.

[0019] In addition, the ability evaluation program of the present invention is a program used in an ability evaluation system that evaluates the ability of an operator or a serving robot that serves sliced ​​meat cut from a meat slicer in containers, and is characterized by having a computer perform the functions of: a pack number acquisition unit that acquires the number of serving packs, which is the number of containers in which sliced ​​meat has been served by the operator or the serving robot; a product information acquisition unit that acquires product information indicating at least one of the type of sliced ​​meat to be served in the container, the serving method, or the serving weight; and an ability calculation unit that calculates the ability of the operator or the serving robot by multiplying the number of serving packs acquired by the pack number acquisition unit by a coefficient corresponding to the product information acquired by the product information acquisition unit.

[0020] Furthermore, the ability evaluation method of the present invention is a method for evaluating the ability of a worker or a serving robot to serve sliced ​​meat cut from a meat slicer into containers, and is characterized by comprising: a pack number acquisition step for acquiring the number of serving packs, which is the number of containers into which sliced ​​meat has been served by the worker or the serving robot; a product information acquisition step for acquiring product information indicating at least one of the type of sliced ​​meat to be served in the container, the serving method, or the serving weight; a coefficient storage step for storing coefficients previously associated with each of the product information; and an ability calculation step for calculating the ability of the worker or the serving robot by multiplying the number of serving packs acquired in the pack number acquisition step by a coefficient corresponding to the product information acquired in the product information acquisition step.

[0021] Such a capability evaluation program and capability evaluation method can achieve the same effects as the capability evaluation system described above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] According to the present invention configured as described above, the capabilities of workers and serving robots in meat processing plants can be accurately evaluated. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a performance evaluation system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0025] <Overall configuration of ability evaluation system 100> The ability evaluation system 100 of this embodiment is for evaluating the ability of a worker to arrange sliced ​​meat in a container such as a tray in a food processing factory such as a process center.

[0026] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the ability evaluation system 100 comprises a meat slicer 10 that cuts sliced ​​meat from a block of meat, and an information processing device 20 that exchanges various information with the meat slicer 10, and the evaluation results are sent from the information processing device 20 to a communication terminal 30 of a manager, supervisor, etc. (hereinafter referred to as a user) who evaluates the worker's ability.

[0027] <Meat slicer 10> The meat slicer 10 slices a block of meat and cuts out a large number of slices of meat. Specifically, it is equipped with a storage box 11 for storing the block of meat, a cutting blade (not shown) for cutting the tip of the block of meat sent out from the tip opening of the storage box 11, and the like.

[0028] The meat slicer 10 here has an endless blade called a band knife as a cutting blade, and is configured to slice the leading end of a block of meat by bringing it into contact with the band knife while swinging the storage box 11 up and down.

[0029] However, the specific embodiment of the meat slicer 10 is not limited to this, and for example, it may be equipped with a round blade as a cutting blade, or may be configured to slice by moving the cutting blade relative to the tip of the block of meat without moving the storage box 11.

[0030] <Types of sliced ​​meat> The sliced ​​meat cut out from the meat slicer 10 is roughly divided into meat that is arranged in a container in a trimmed state and meat that is arranged in a container without being trimmed.

[0031] Examples of the former include sliced ​​meat for shabu-shabu, which is thinly sliced ​​and stacked at a predetermined interval, slices arranged in a U-shape (resembling a horseshoe), slices with one or both ends folded, etc. Examples of sliced ​​meat include loin, belly, and shoulder.

[0032] On the other hand, examples of the latter include small pieces made up of multiple parts, such as sliced ​​meat for meat and potato stew, or off-cuts made up of a single part.

[0033] <Information processing device 20> As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 20 is capable of communicating with the meat slicer 10 described above via a network NT such as the Internet, and is also capable of communicating with a communication terminal 30 carried by a user.

[0034] This information processing device 20 physically includes a CPU, memory, etc., and is a cloud server computer in this case. However, the information processing device 20 may also be a computer installed in, for example, a meat processing plant, or a computer installed in an office where a user works.

[0035] Thus, the information processing device 20 of this embodiment functions as a pack number acquisition unit 21, a product information acquisition unit 22, an actual value storage unit 23, a coefficient calculation unit 24, a capacity calculation unit 25, and an output unit 26, as shown in FIG. 2, by the CPU and its peripheral devices working together in accordance with the capacity evaluation program stored in the memory.

[0036] <Pack number acquisition unit 21> The pack number acquisition unit 21 acquires the number of serving packs, which is the number of containers in which the sliced ​​meat has been served by the worker. Note that this number of serving packs may be the number of containers in which the sliced ​​meat has been served and packaged, or the number of containers before packaging.

[0037] In this embodiment, the number of packs to be served is recorded for each worker on paper, for example, and the number of packs to be served can be input via input means IN such as a keyboard or touch panel. Then, as shown in Fig. 2, the number of packs to be served input via this input means IN is acquired by pack number acquisition unit 21.

[0038] If the meat slicer 10 has a function of counting the number of serving packs, the pack number acquisition unit 21 may acquire the number of serving packs from the meat slicer 10 via the network NT.

[0039] Furthermore, the information processing device 20 of this embodiment is configured so that worker identification information, such as a name or ID number, for identifying a worker can be input via the input means IN. Here, assuming a case in which multiple workers cooperate to plate sliced ​​meat cut from a common meat slicer 10, the information processing device 20 is configured so that worker identification information for multiple workers can be input. However, in this embodiment, the case in which worker identification information for one person is input will be described. The worker identification information may also be input into the information processing device 20 via the user's communication terminal 30.

[0040] In the above-described configuration, the pack number acquisition unit 21 acquires the number of serving packs linked to the worker identification information input via the input means IN, as shown in FIG.

[0041] <Product information acquisition department 22> The product information acquisition unit 22 acquires product information indicating at least one of the type of sliced ​​meat served in the container, the serving method, and the serving weight.

[0042] In this embodiment, before starting the serving operation, the worker can operate, for example, a touch panel attached to the meat slicer 10 to input product information about the sliced ​​meat to be served in the container.

[0043] Specifically, a plurality of types of product information are stored in advance in the meat slicer 10, and the operator can select the appropriate product information from among the stored product information.

[0044] Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the product information acquisition unit 22 acquires this selected product information from the meat slicer 10 via the network NT.

[0045] However, the product information acquired by the product information acquisition unit 22 does not necessarily have to be selected using the touch panel of the meat slicer 10, but may be, for example, input by an operator using a computer installed in a meat processing plant where the plating work is performed, or may be input by a user using a keyboard or the like.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3, examples of product information include "200g of chopped meat," "200g of thinly sliced ​​loin," "300g of thinly sliced ​​loin," "300g of pork loin with ginger," and "200g of thinly sliced ​​thigh," which are information that can identify the type (cut) of sliced ​​meat, the presentation method, and the presentation weight. Specifically, the product information "200g of thinly sliced ​​loin" indicates that "200g of multiple slices of loin are stacked and staggered at a specified interval."

[0047] The product information is not necessarily limited to the above, and various forms of information may be used as long as it is information that can identify the type of product.

[0048] <Actual value storage unit 23> As shown in Figure 3, the actual value storage unit 23 stores the number of packs served for each worker information acquired by the pack number acquisition unit 21 as an actual value for each product information acquired by the product information acquisition unit 22.

[0049] More specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the performance value storage unit 23 stores performance tables for each worker, in which the number of packs to be served is input for each product information item, and also stores the performance tables for each worker for each day the serving work was performed. Note that the performance values ​​here include the total working time and the number of cuts made by the meat slicer 10 per unit time.

[0050] However, the actual values ​​stored in the actual value storage unit 23 do not necessarily have to be stored using the table shown in Figure 3. For example, the worker and the implementation date may also be entered into the table, or the format may be different from the table format.

[0051] In this embodiment, the total operation time in FIG. 3 is the sum of the operating time and stop time of the meat slicer 10. Although not shown, by displaying this stop time, it is possible to analyze the time required for setup changes, such as adding new chunks of meat or supplying trays.

[0052] <Coefficient calculation unit 24> The coefficient calculation unit 24 calculates the coefficients used by the ability calculation unit 25 described below to calculate the ability, and specifically calculates a coefficient corresponding to the product information based on the actual value of the number of packs served by each worker stored in the actual value storage unit 23.

[0053] That is, the coefficient calculated by the coefficient calculation unit 24 is a value that varies depending on the product information, and is a variable value that increases or decreases depending on the actual number of serving packs for each piece of product information.

[0054] The coefficient calculation unit 24 of this embodiment calculates a coefficient based on the actual numbers of serving packs by multiple workers whose abilities are to be evaluated, and in this case, calculates the coefficient based on the actual numbers of serving packs by all workers whose abilities are to be evaluated. However, the coefficient calculation unit 24 may exclude the actual numbers of specific workers whose abilities are to be evaluated, such as a worker with little experience in serving work, from the actual numbers used to calculate the coefficient.

[0055] Specifically, the coefficient calculation unit 24 first calculates the actual number of packs served per unit time from the actual numbers of packs served by all workers, as shown in the upper part of Fig. 4. The actual number of packs served per unit time can be obtained by dividing the actual number of packs served obtained in a serving task by the total working time for that serving task (see Fig. 3).

[0056] Next, as shown in the middle part of FIG. 4, the coefficient calculation unit 24 calculates the average value of the actual number of packs served per unit time of each worker for each item of product information.

[0057] Then, as shown in the lower part of Figure 4, the coefficient calculation unit 24 calculates the reciprocal of the average value of the actual number of serving packs per unit time calculated for each piece of product information as a coefficient corresponding to each piece of product information.

[0058] According to this method of calculating the coefficients, the coefficients of products such as minced meat, which do not require much attention to appearance and for which the number of packs served per unit time is likely to increase, are calculated to be small, while conversely, the coefficients of products such as sliced ​​meat for shabu-shabu, which do not require much attention to appearance and therefore do not tend to increase the number of packs served per unit time, are calculated to be large.

[0059] Specifically, here, the coefficient corresponding to product information indicating that the sliced ​​meat to be served is in small pieces or off-cuts without being trimmed is smaller than the coefficient corresponding to product information indicating that the sliced ​​meat to be served is a product to be served trimmed.

[0060] In addition, the coefficient will differ depending on whether the product indicated by the product information is a product in which multiple slices of meat are stacked and shifted at a specified interval, or a product in which multiple slices of meat are arranged in a U-shape.

[0061] Furthermore, if the number of sliced ​​meats served in the container changes depending on the serving weight of the sliced ​​meat, the coefficient will also differ; the coefficient will be smaller when the serving weight is small than when the serving weight is large, and the coefficient will be smaller when the number of sliced ​​meats served is small than when the number of slices served is large.

[0062] <Ability Calculation Unit 25> The ability calculation unit 25 calculates the worker's ability by multiplying the number of packs to be served acquired by the pack number acquisition unit 21 by a coefficient calculated by the coefficient calculation unit 24 based on the product information acquired by the product information acquisition unit 22.

[0063] Specifically, the ability calculation unit 25 calculates the ability value for each worker by multiplying the actual value for each worker stored in the actual value storage unit 23, i.e., the actual value for each worker of the number of serving packs linked to each piece of product information, by a coefficient calculated according to each piece of product information.

[0064] In calculating the capacity value of the capacity calculation unit 25, as described above, the coefficient multiplied by the number of serving packs in a container in which multiple sliced ​​meat are presented in an unarranged state is smaller than the coefficient multiplied by the number of serving packs in a container in which multiple sliced ​​meat are presented in an arranged state.

[0065] <Output section 26> The output unit 26 outputs the ability value calculated by the ability calculation unit 25.

[0066] The output unit 26 of this embodiment communicates with a communication terminal 30 carried by a user via a network NT such as the Internet, and displays the ability value on the display D of the communication terminal 30.

[0067] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the output unit 26 outputs the ability value calculated by the ability calculation unit 25 for each worker, and also outputs the ability value of each worker for each piece of product information.

[0068] That is, the output unit 26 here outputs the ability values ​​to a table in which the worker is set in one row or column and the product name is set in the other, thereby displaying a list of ability values ​​by worker and product.

[0069] Here, as shown in Figure 5, the output unit 26 of this embodiment simultaneously displays the above-mentioned ability values ​​on the same screen as the ability evaluation period Z, which is the period for evaluating the ability of each worker, in other words, the period for extracting the actual value of the number of serving packs used to calculate the coefficient by the coefficient calculation unit 24.

[0070] <Period Reception Section 27> The information processing device 20 of this embodiment is configured to be able to change this ability evaluation period Z, and as shown in Figure 2, is equipped with a period acceptance unit 27 that accepts the ability evaluation period Z input from outside via an input means IN such as a touch panel or keyboard.

[0071] In the above-described configuration, when the period receiving unit 27 receives a new capacity evaluation period Z, the coefficient calculation unit 24 extracts the actual value of the number of serving packs during the received period from the actual value storage unit 23, and calculates a new coefficient based on the extracted actual value.The capacity calculation unit 25 then calculates a capacity value using the new coefficient, and the calculated capacity values ​​are displayed in a list by the output unit 26.

[0072] That is, when the ability evaluation period Z is changed, a new coefficient is calculated according to each item of product information, and the displayed ability value is updated to a new ability value calculated using the new coefficient.

[0073] <Operation of the ability evaluation system 100> Next, the operation of the ability evaluation system 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0074] First, before cutting out sliced ​​meat with the meat slicer 10, the operator inputs or selects product information for the product to be served with the sliced ​​meat. The product information is received by the meat slicer 10 and acquired by the product information acquisition unit 22 via the network NT (S1).

[0075] Thereafter, the meat slicer 10 is operated to cut out sliced ​​meat, and the worker starts the serving work of arranging the sliced ​​meat in a container (S2).

[0076] When the serving work in S2 is completed, the number of serving packs for each worker is input along with the worker information of each worker, and these are acquired by the pack number acquisition unit 21 (S3).

[0077] Then, the number of serving packs linked to the product information is stored in the performance value storage unit 23 as a performance value for each worker (S4).

[0078] Next, the user sets a capability evaluation period Z for evaluating the capabilities of each worker, and the capability evaluation period Z is received by the period receiving unit 27 (S5).

[0079] As a result, the coefficient calculation unit 24 extracts the actual values ​​of the number of serving packs during the capacity evaluation period Z received in S5 from the actual value storage unit 23, and calculates a coefficient corresponding to each piece of product information based on these actual values ​​(S6).

[0080] Then, the ability calculation unit 25 multiplies each worker's actual performance value of the number of serving packs linked to each product information by a coefficient according to each product information calculated in S6, to calculate each worker's ability value (S7).

[0081] Thereafter, the ability values ​​calculated in S7 are displayed as a list by the output unit 26, for example, on the display D of the communication terminal 30 carried by the user (S8).

[0082] <Actions and Effects of the Ability Evaluation System 100 of the Present Embodiment> According to the thus configured ability evaluation system 100, ability is calculated by multiplying the number of serving packs by a coefficient corresponding to the product information, so that, for example, the number of serving packs for a product that is easy to serve can be multiplied by a small coefficient, and conversely, the number of serving packs for a product that is difficult to serve can be multiplied by a large coefficient, thereby making it possible to accurately evaluate the ability of a worker. As a result, the results of the ability evaluation of a worker obtained by this ability evaluation system 100 can also be used for personnel evaluation, such as setting compensation.

[0083] Furthermore, the output unit 26 displays a list of the ability values ​​calculated by the ability calculation unit 25 for each of the multiple workers, so that the superiority or inferiority of each worker can be grasped at a glance.

[0084] Furthermore, the output unit 26 displays a list of the ability values ​​calculated by the ability calculation unit 25 for each of a plurality of pieces of product information, so that it is possible to grasp at a glance the products that each worker is good at and the products that he or she is not good at.

[0085] Furthermore, since the coefficient calculation unit 24 calculates the coefficient based on the actual number of serving packs, it is possible to calculate the capacity using a coefficient that is most likely on the spot or at each occasion.

[0086] Furthermore, since the ability evaluation period Z, from which the performance values ​​used to calculate the coefficients are extracted, can be changed, it is possible to set the ability evaluation period Z so as to avoid, for example, periods when the worker is receiving assistance from other workers, thereby enabling a more accurate evaluation of the worker's abilities.

[0087] In addition, by using the ability evaluation system 100 of this embodiment to evaluate the abilities of workers at multiple meat processing plants and production lines, it is possible to systematize highly productive meat processing plants and production lines as models, and to enable workers at less productive meat processing plants and production lines to improve in order to become models.

[0088] <Other embodiments> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

[0089] For example, in the process of calculating the coefficient, the coefficient calculation unit 24 simply averages (arithmetic mean) the actual values ​​of the number of packs served per unit time of multiple workers in the above embodiment, but it is also acceptable to use, for example, a weighted mean, harmonic mean, or square mean.

[0090] The coefficient calculation unit 24 may also calculate a median value between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the actual values ​​of the number of serving packs, and calculate the coefficient based on this median value.

[0091] That is, the coefficient calculation unit 24 may be configured to calculate the coefficient using a predetermined coefficient calculation formula that includes the actual number of packs served by each worker as a parameter.

[0092] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the coefficient is a variable value that varies depending on the actual number of serving packs, but it may be a fixed value that is predetermined depending on the product information.

[0093] In this case, the information processing device 20 only needs to include a coefficient storage unit 28 that stores fixed values ​​of coefficients that are preset according to product information, as shown in Figure 7, and does not need to have the function of the coefficient calculation unit 24 in the above embodiment.

[0094] Incidentally, when multiple people work together to arrange sliced ​​meat cut from a common meat slicer 10 into containers, it may be more efficient for the entire workplace to pair an experienced worker with an inexperienced worker rather than pairing two experienced workers together, and the optimal placement of each worker will differ from time to time.

[0095] Therefore, the ability evaluation system 100 of this embodiment may be used to evaluate the abilities of a work group consisting of multiple people.

[0096] In this case, the information processing device 20 first acquires the number of serving packs for each work group linked to the worker information of multiple workers via the pack number acquisition unit 21. Then, the performance value of each work group can be calculated by multiplying the actual value of the number of serving packs for each work group by a coefficient for each product information item calculated based on the number of serving packs.

[0097] With this configuration, the ability values ​​of each work group can be compared and the composition of each work group can be changed so that the ability values ​​of more work groups are higher, making it possible to appropriately allocate each worker.

[0098] Furthermore, in the case where the meat slicer 10 is equipped with a serving robot that serves the sliced ​​meat in a container, the ability evaluation system 100 according to the present invention may be one that evaluates the ability of the serving robot.

[0099] In this case, the information processing device 20 may be configured such that a pack number acquiring unit 21 acquires the number of serving packs from the meat slicer 10 via the network NT, as shown in FIG.

[0100] With this configuration, it is possible to evaluate the performance of the serving robots operating in, for example, multiple meat processing plants, and to propose improvements to the flow lines of meat processing plants with low performance and encourage maintenance. Furthermore, as with the previous embodiment, it is possible to systematize a highly productive meat processing plant as a model, and to improve the flow lines of meat processing plants with low productivity in line with the model. Furthermore, it is also possible to perform a comprehensive evaluation that includes the settings and other operations of the serving robots and various setups.

[0101] In the above embodiment, the output unit 26 displays the ability values ​​on the display D, but it may also be configured to print them out on paper or to transmit them to the user's communication terminal 30.

[0102] The information processing device 20 may have an alert function that acquires the operating time from the meat slicer 10, compares the operating time with a predetermined threshold, and notifies the user that, for example, parts replacement or equipment maintenance is required when the operating time exceeds the threshold.

[0103] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
