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

[0014] [1. Configuration] An example of the configuration of a task assistance device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 etc. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a task assistance device 100 according to this embodiment.

[0015] The business support device 100 is constructed based on a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that 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 also 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.

[0016] The business assistance 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 assistance device 100 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via any communication path.

[0017] The communication interface unit 104 communicably connects the business 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 business assistance device 100 and the server device 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). Note that the data stored in the memory unit 106 may be stored in the server device 200, for example.

[0018] An input device 400 and an output device 500 are connected to the input / output interface unit 108. The output device 500 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 400 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that functions as a pointing device in cooperation with a mouse. In the following, the output device 500 may be referred to as the monitor 500, and the input device 400 may be referred to as the keyboard 400 or the mouse 400.

[0019] Various databases, tables, files, etc. are stored in the storage unit 106. Computer programs that work in conjunction with the OS (Operating System) to issue commands to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes are recorded in the storage unit 106. The storage unit 106 can be, for example, a memory device such as RAM (Random Access Memory) or ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, etc.

[0020] The storage unit 106 stores, for example, a rank calculation master 106a, an average salary master 106b, a rank-specific unit price master 106c, an employee master 106d, and the like.

[0021] The rank calculation master 106a stores the rank of an employee, such as their job responsibilities, in association with their salary. The rank calculation master 106a stores information such as employee number, employee name, rank, salary, etc., as shown in an example in FIG.

[0022] The average salary master 106b stores the average basic salary for each employee rank, as shown in FIG.

[0023] The rank-specific unit price master 106c stores the average unit price for each employee rank. The rank-specific unit price master 106c stores information such as revision date, rank, average unit price, etc., as shown in an example in FIG.

[0024] The employee master 106d stores employees and their ranks in association with each other. The employee master 106d stores information such as employee number, employee name, rank, salary, etc., as shown in an example in FIG.

[0025] 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, etc., and executes various information processing operations based on these stored programs.

[0026] The control unit 102 conceptually includes a master unit price calculation unit 102a, a cost amount calculation unit 102b, and the like.

[0027] The master unit price calculation unit 102a averages the employee salaries stored in the rank calculation master 106a for each rank, divides the average salary for each rank by a predetermined number of working hours, calculates the average unit price for each rank, and updates the rank-specific unit price master 106c. In this specification, a "rank" is any word that can specify a range of salary, and can be set in units of job responsibilities and roles for each company.

[0028] The cost calculation unit 102b calculates the cost of an employee by multiplying the average unit price of the employee for each rank in the rank-specific unit price master 106c by the working hours of the employee.

[0029] [2. Processing] Here, a specific example of the processing executed by the task assistance device 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0030] First, the average unit price calculation unit 102a averages the employee salaries stored in the rank calculation master 106a for each rank to calculate the average basic salary of employees for each rank. For example, in the rank calculation master 106a of FIG. 2, there are two employees with rank "SE" and employee numbers "A" and "B." The average of these employees' salaries, "200,000" and "220,000," is calculated, and this average becomes the average basic salary of employees with rank "SE." The calculated average basic salary is stored in the average salary master 106b. The average basic salary of employees with rank "SE (System Engineer)" is "210,000," as shown in FIG. 3. Average basic salaries are calculated in the same way for other ranks, such as "PL (Project Leader)" and "PM (Project Manager)."

[0031] Next, the average unit price calculation unit 102a divides the average salary for each rank (the average base salary of employees for each rank) by the predetermined working hours to calculate the average unit price for each rank. The average unit price calculation unit 102a also updates the rank-specific unit price master 106c with the calculated average unit price for each rank. The predetermined working hours are, for example, the expected working hours of employees, and the average unit price for each rank is calculated as 170 hours, for example. Dividing the average base salary of "210,000 yen" for the rank "SE" by "170 hours" gives "1,235 yen." Average unit prices are calculated in the same way for other ranks, such as "PL (Project Leader)" and "PM (Project Manager)." The calculated average unit price is stored in the rank-specific unit price master 106c.

[0032] The cost calculation unit 102b calculates the cost of an employee by multiplying the average unit price for each employee rank stored in the rank-specific unit price master 106c by the employee's working hours. Figure 5 shows an example of the employee master 106d, and Figure 6 shows an example of the contract registration screen MA. When a user enters the job number, dispatched employee, quantity, working hours, contract period, etc. on the contract registration screen MA, the cost calculation unit 102b references the employee master 106d to obtain the rank of the dispatched employee. The cost calculation unit 102b then obtains the average unit price for the employee rank from the rank-specific unit price master 106c and multiplies it by the working hours to calculate the cost. The rank of employee A entered on the contract registration screen MA is "SE" in the employee master 106d, and the average unit price for "SE" is "1,235 yen" in the rank-specific unit price master 106c. Furthermore, since the working hours are entered as "150 hours," the cost is "185,250 yen." The cost amount calculation unit 102b may calculate an allocation standard by multiplying the average unit price by the number of man-hours, in addition to calculating the cost amount.

[0033] As described above, in the business support device 100 according to this embodiment, the person in charge of setting the unit price can quickly and accurately record labor costs while keeping private information such as salaries confidential by obtaining the average unit price for each rank from the rank-specific unit price master 106c without referring to the rank calculation master 106a (accessible only to the human resources department) that stores the salary amounts of employees.

[0034] [3. 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 the achievement of SDGs Goals 8 and 9.

[0035] 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.

[0036] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, which can contribute to the achievement of Goal 16 of the SDGs.
