[0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A task support device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0013] (overview) Product quality control requires that at the manufacturing planning stage, the person in charge rearranges raw materials so that the product meets the cost and quality standards. Specifically, the person in charge must create a manufacturing plan by selecting alternative raw materials that meet the standards while checking the inventory status, price, and ingredients of raw materials and their alternatives.

[0014] For example, product quality control includes the management of guaranteed ingredients, such as (1) checking whether ingredients comply with official specifications at the manufacturing planning stage, (2) conducting inspections to ensure product safety, and (3) creating a guarantee label that lists the types and proportions of ingredients contained in the product.

[0015] For this reason, in the business support device of the embodiment, when a person in charge creates a manufacturing plan for a product, the display unit displays information on the product's composition, ingredients, and cost when a desired raw material is replaced with another raw material of the same type. This allows the raw materials to be replaced so as to satisfy the product's cost and quality standards, reducing the burden on the person in charge of creating a manufacturing plan for the product.

[0016] [composition] (Hardware configuration) Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of a business support device according to an embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the business support device 1 according to 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.

[0017] The output device 7 corresponds to a display unit such as a monitor device (including a home television), a printer, or a speaker device. The input device 6 may be a keyboard device, a mouse device, a microphone device, or a monitor device that cooperates with a mouse device to achieve a pointing device function. The communication interface unit 4 is connected to a network such as a wide area network like the Internet or a private network like a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0018] A storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or an SSD (Solid State Drive) can be used as the storage unit 2. The storage unit 2 stores a business support program that can reduce the burden on a person in charge of creating a product manufacturing plan.

[0019] The storage unit 2 also includes a product number master table 22, a component master table 23, a manufacturing configuration master table 24, a component information storage unit 25, a cost information storage unit 26, a design information storage unit 27, a raw material list storage unit 28, and a file storage unit 29, each of which is a storage area.

[0020] Product number master table 22 stores product numbers and product names in association with each other. Here, the product name is the product name of the product and its raw materials, the product number is the product code, and the product type is the type of raw material. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of product number master table 22. For example, as shown in Fig. 2, product number master table 22 includes product codes, product names, and product types.

[0021] The ingredient master table 23 stores the types and amounts of ingredients contained in a product. Here, the product refers to a finished product and its raw materials. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the ingredient master table 23. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the ingredient master table 23 includes a product code, a product name, an ingredient type, and an amount. The amount is the percentage (%) of an ingredient per unit.

[0022] The production composition master table 24 stores the composition of raw materials used in a product. Here, the raw material composition is the mixture of raw materials used in the product. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the production composition master table 24. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the production composition master table 24 includes a parent product code, composition number, product to be dispensed, input amount, and its unit. Here, the parent product code is the product code of the product, and the product to be dispensed is the raw material.

[0023] The component information storage unit 25 stores the types and amounts of components contained in each raw material that constitutes a product. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of component information stored in the component information storage unit 25. For example, as shown in Fig. 5, the component information storage unit 25 stores the parent product code, component number, and the types and amounts of components contained in each raw material.

[0024] The cost information storage unit 26 stores information related to the cost of raw materials, i.e., cost information. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of cost information stored in the cost information storage unit 26. For example, as shown in Fig. 6, the cost information storage unit 26 includes cost information of raw materials, such as the product number name corresponding to the product number code, the accounting year and month, and the evaluated unit price. Here, the product number code is the product code of the raw material, the product number name is the raw material name, and the evaluated unit price is the cost of the raw material in the accounting year and month.

[0025] The design information storage unit 27 stores product design information. The product design information includes first design information and second design information. For example, the first design information is generated based on product manufacturing instruction information including the product's part number and minimum manufacturing quantity, and includes first composition information regarding the composition of the product's raw materials, first component information regarding the product's ingredients, and first cost information regarding the cost of the product. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of first design information stored in the design information storage unit 27. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the first design information includes first composition information including the component number, dispensed products, and input amount, first component information including the type of ingredients contained in each dispensed product and the content of each ingredient, and first cost information including the cost unit and cost amount of each dispensed product and the cost amount of the product.

[0026] Furthermore, for example, the second design information may include second design information including second blending information, second component information, and second cost information for a product in which one component of a product has been changed to another component based on an instruction to change one component of the product to another component classified in the same category as the original component. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of second design information stored in the design information storage unit 27. The second design information is, for example, design information for a case in which component C shown in FIG. 7 has been changed to component D, which is another component classified in the same category as component C. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the second design information includes second blending information including a component number, dispensed products, and input amounts; second component information including the types of components contained in each dispensed product and the content of each component; and second cost information including the cost unit and cost amount of each dispensed product and the cost amount of the product.

[0027] An ingredient list is stored in the ingredient list storage unit 28. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an ingredient list stored in the ingredient list storage unit 28. For example, as shown in Fig. 9, the ingredient list storage unit 28 includes dispensed products, product types, and unit costs. In this example, the dispensed products are ingredients, and the product types are the types of ingredients.

[0028] The file storage unit 29 stores file data for creating manufacturing instructions, formulation sheets, quality assurance sheets, and the like.

[0029] (Functional configuration of business support device) Next, the control unit 3 executes the business support program 21 stored in the memory unit 2, thereby functioning as an acquisition unit 31, a first design information generation unit 32, a second design information generation unit 33, a judgment unit 34, and an output control unit 35, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0030] In this example, the description will be given assuming that the components from the acquisition unit 31 to the output control unit 35 are realized by software based on the business support program 21, but all or part of the components from the acquisition unit 31 to the output control unit 35 may be realized by hardware. In either case, the same effects as those described below can be obtained.

[0031] The acquisition unit 31 acquires a manufacturing instruction specifying the product number and minimum manufacturing quantity of the product. The acquisition unit 31 also acquires an instruction to change one of the ingredients contained in the product to another ingredient classified in the same category as the one ingredient.

[0032] Based on the manufacturing instructions acquired by the acquisition unit 31, the first design information generation unit 32 refers to the manufacturing configuration master table 24 (see Figure 4), the component information storage unit 25 (see Figure 5), and the cost information storage unit 26 (see Figure 6) in the storage unit 2, and generates first design information including first blending information, first component information, and first cost information (see Figure 7).

[0033] When the acquisition unit 31 acquires an instruction to change one of the ingredients contained in a product to another ingredient classified in the same category as the one ingredient, the second design information generation unit 33 references the ingredient master table 23 (see FIG. 3) in the storage unit 2 and the cost information storage unit 26 (see FIG. 6) based on the instruction and generates second design information (see FIG. 8). The second design information includes second blending information, second ingredient information, and second cost information of the product in which the one ingredient contained in the product has been changed to the other ingredient.

[0034] Furthermore, when the acquisition unit 31 acquires an instruction to change the other ingredient to an ingredient different from the other ingredient selected from the ingredient list (see FIG. 9), the second design information generation unit 33 changes the other ingredient to an ingredient different from the other ingredient and updates the second design information.

[0035] The determination unit 34 determines whether the component values ​​of the product in the second component information satisfy the quality standards of the product, and whether the difference between the cost of the product in the first cost information and the cost of the product in the second cost information is within a predetermined numerical range (for example, ±5% of the cost of the product in the first cost information). The quality standards of the product are, for example, guaranteed component values ​​defined by laws such as the Fertilizer Control Act or official standards such as JIS standards.

[0036] The output control unit 35 outputs the second design information generated or updated by the second design information generation unit 33 to the output device. Furthermore, when the output control unit 35 receives an instruction to select either the first design information or the second design information, it outputs the selected information to the output device. Furthermore, when the result of the determination by the determination unit 34 is either that the component values ​​of the product in the second component information do not satisfy the product quality standards, or that the difference between the cost of the product in the first cost information and the cost of the product in the second cost information is not within a predetermined numerical range, the output control unit 35 outputs to the output device a raw material list (see FIG. 9 ) that includes other raw materials classified as the same type as the one raw material.

[0037] The output device may be a display device, a printing device, or a speaker device. The output control unit 35 converts the first design information and the second design information into display information, print information, or audio information and supplies the converted information to each device, thereby obtaining a display output, print output, or audio output corresponding to the first design information, preliminary second design information, or the like. Alternatively, the output device may be the storage unit 2, an external storage device, a server device on a network, or the like.

[0038] [Operation] Next, a description will be given of the operation of the business support device 1 according to the embodiment. The business support device 1 reads pre-registered basic information such as component information and blending information of a product from the storage unit 2, and performs input processing of product manufacturing instructions.

[0039] (Basic information registration operation) First, the operation of registering basic information will be described. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a component master maintenance screen. For example, when registering component information of a product, the person in charge specifies the display of the component master maintenance screen. As a result, the output control unit 35 displays the component master maintenance screen shown in Fig. 10 via the output device 7.

[0040] The person in charge inputs the product part number code "S01" into this component master maintenance screen, and inputs the components to be guaranteed for "Product A" corresponding to "S01" (so-called guaranteed components), for example, "Component 1," "Component 2," and "Component 3," and their guaranteed component values. The component information of Product A input in this way is registered in the component master table 23 (see FIG. 3).

[0041] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a manufacturing configuration master maintenance screen. For example, when registering product formulation information, the person in charge specifies the display of the manufacturing configuration master maintenance screen. This causes the output control unit 35 to display the manufacturing configuration master maintenance screen shown in FIG. 11 on the output device 7. The person in charge inputs the product's parent product code "S01" into this manufacturing configuration master maintenance screen, and then inputs the minimum production quantity, composition number, composition number, product to be dispensed (so-called raw material), and input quantity for "Product A" corresponding to "S01."

[0042] At this time, the determination unit 34 determines whether the blending information input to the manufacturing composition master maintenance screen meets the quality standards of product A, and if it is determined that this standard is met, it registers the input blending information of product A in the manufacturing composition master table 24 (see FIG. 4). For example, if the values ​​of the guaranteed components "component 1," "component 2," and "component 3" contained in product A are not below the guaranteed values ​​and are within the ranges specified by law or standards, the determination unit 34 determines that product A does not meet the quality standards.

[0043] Furthermore, if the determination unit 34 determines that the blending information input to the manufacturing configuration master maintenance screen does not satisfy the quality standard of product A, it causes the output control unit 35 to output a notification to that effect. For example, if the value of any of the guaranteed components “component 1,” “component 2,” and “component 3” contained in product A is lower than the guaranteed value, the determination unit 34 determines that product A does not satisfy the quality standard.

[0044] The basic information registration operation includes, for example, an operation of registering a product number, a product name, and a product variety in correspondence with each other in the product number master table 22 (see Figure 2), and an operation of registering raw material cost information in the cost information storage unit 26 (see Figure 6), but is not limited to these examples of operations.

[0045] (Product manufacturing instruction input operation) Next, the operation of inputting product manufacturing instructions will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a manufacturing instruction input screen. When creating a manufacturing plan, the person in charge first specifies the display of the manufacturing instruction input screen. This causes the output control unit 35 to display the manufacturing instruction input screen via the output device 7. FIG. 12 shows an example of the manufacturing instruction input screen that is displayed after the person in charge enters the product code "S01" and the accounting year and month "2024 / 6" into the manufacturing instruction input screen.

[0046] When the product code "S01" is entered on the manufacturing instruction input screen, the first design information generation unit 32 extracts data corresponding to the parent product code "S01" from the manufacturing configuration master table 24 (see FIG. 4) and the component information storage unit 25. Furthermore, when the accounting year and month "2024 / 6" is entered on the manufacturing instruction input screen, the first design information generation unit 32 extracts the evaluated unit prices of raw materials A, B, and C from the cost information storage unit 26 (see FIG. 6).

[0047] The evaluation unit price is the "cost unit price" shown in Fig. 12. Next, based on the extracted data, the first design information generation unit 32 calculates the cost amounts of raw materials A to C as "600," "280," and "300," respectively, and the total cost amount of raw materials A to C as "1,180."

[0048] When the first design information generating unit 32 generates the first setting information (see FIG. 7) in this way, the output control unit 35 displays, via the output device 7, a manufacturing instruction input screen as exemplified in FIG.

[0049] 12 is the cost amount of product A included in the first design information generated by the first design information generation unit 32. When no change is made to the raw materials, the output control unit 35 reads the file stored in the file storage unit 29 and prints out the manufacturing instruction sheet and warranty card for product A via the output device 7 based on the first setting information.

[0050] The manufacturing instructions and warranty card may be printed out on paper or may be output in a desired data format such as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file.

[0051] In addition, when the manufacturing instructions and warranty for product A are printed via the output device 7 based on the first setting information, the first design information generation unit 32 may register information regarding the output history in the setting information storage unit 27.

[0052] Next, an operation for changing raw materials will be described. Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a processing screen for changing one raw material selected on the manufacturing instruction input screen to another raw material.

[0053] The person in charge specifies the ingredient they wish to change. For example, as shown in Figure 13, if they want to change ingredient C to another ingredient, they select "ingredient C" in the product to be dispensed column, and candidate actions for ingredient C are displayed. In this case, the candidate actions are, for example, "change" and "revert."

[0054] When the person in charge selects "change" on the manufacturing instruction input screen, the output control unit 35 reads the ingredient list (see FIG. 9) from the ingredient list storage unit 28 and displays a substitute selection screen via the output device 7. This substitute selection screen displays an ingredient list including other ingredients (here, ingredient D) that belong to the type to which ingredient C is classified. The person in charge selects another ingredient D to replace ingredient C on the substitute selection screen. As a result, the acquisition unit 31 acquires an instruction to change one ingredient C from ingredients A to C contained in product A to another ingredient D that is classified in the same type as this one ingredient C.

[0055] Next, the operation after receiving an instruction to change the raw material will be described. Fig. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the manufacturing instruction input screen after the raw material change process.

[0056] When the second design information generating unit 33 receives an instruction to change the raw material C to the raw material D, the second design information generating unit 33 extracts data related to the raw material D from the component master table 23 (see FIG. 3) and the cost information storing unit 26 (see FIG. 6).

[0057] Next, the second design information generating unit 33 calculates the cost amount of raw material D, "180," and the total cost amount of raw materials A, B, and D, "1,060," based on the extracted data. When the second design information generating unit 33 generates the second setting information (see FIG. 8) in this way, the output control unit 35 displays the manufacturing instruction input screen, exemplified in FIG. 14, via the output device 7. Note that the "previous cost amount" in FIG. 14 is the cost amount of product A included in the first setting information generated by the first design information generating unit 32.

[0058] Next, the determining unit 34 determines whether or not the component values ​​of the product A in the second component information (the values ​​of component 1, component 2, and component 3 in FIG. 8) satisfy the quality standard of the product, for the second design information.

[0059] In addition, if the judgment unit 34 determines that the component values ​​of product A in the second design information meet the quality standards, it judges whether the difference between the cost of product A in the first cost information (hereinafter referred to as the first cost) and the cost of product A in the second cost information (hereinafter referred to as the second cost) is within a predetermined numerical range.

[0060] The predetermined numerical range is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, ±5% of the first cost of product A. When the determination unit 34 determines that the difference between the first cost and the second cost of product A is within the predetermined numerical range, the output control unit 35 outputs the second setting information to the output device 7 and displays the second setting information via the output device 7.

[0061] When the person in charge selects the second setting information on the manufacturing plan input screen, the acquisition unit 31 acquires an instruction to select the second setting information. Based on this instruction, the output control unit 35 outputs the second setting information to the output device 7. At this time, the output control unit 35 reads the file stored in the file storage unit 29, and prints the manufacturing instruction sheet and warranty card for product A via the output device 7 based on the second setting information.

[0062] In addition, when the manufacturing instructions and warranty for product A are printed via the output device 7 based on the second setting information, the second design information generation unit 33 may register information regarding the output history in the setting information storage unit 27, or may update the second setting information as the first setting information.

[0063] On the other hand, if the determination unit 34 determines that the difference between the first cost and the second cost of product A is not within the predetermined numerical range, the output control unit 35 further outputs to the output device 7 a list of ingredients including other ingredients classified as the same type as ingredient C, and displays a substitute selection screen via the output device 7.

[0064] For example, if the ingredient list includes ingredient C and another ingredient that is classified as the same type as ingredient D selected as a substitute by the person in charge, the person in charge can select the other ingredient on the substitute selection screen.

[0065] On the other hand, if this ingredient list does not include ingredients other than ingredients C and D, the person in charge can select "Restore" on the manufacturing instruction input screen. As a result, when the acquisition unit 31 acquires an instruction to select the first setting information, the output control unit 35 outputs the selected first setting information to the output device 7. At this time, the output control unit 35 reads the file stored in the file storage unit 29, and prints the manufacturing instruction sheet and warranty card for product A via the output device 7 based on the first setting information.

[0066] (Effects of the embodiment) As is clear from the above explanation, the business support device 1 according to the embodiment can rearrange raw materials so as to satisfy the product cost and quality standards when creating a product manufacturing plan, thereby reducing the burden on the person in charge of creating a product manufacturing plan.

[0067] According to the business support device 1 of the embodiment, when creating a production plan for a product, it is possible to select whether or not to rearrange raw materials while checking the inventory status of raw materials, thereby enabling flexible response.

[0068] Furthermore, the task support device 1 according to the embodiment can perform quality control and cost management while performing manufacturing plan creation tasks, thereby significantly improving the work efficiency of the person in charge.

[0069] Furthermore, according to the business support device 1 of the embodiment, even if the raw materials are rearranged, the component contents and costs of the product can be tallied each time, thereby improving the business efficiency of the manufacturing department.

[0070] Furthermore, according to the business support device 1 of the embodiment, when a manufacturing plan for a product is created, a manufacturing instruction sheet and a warranty card can be created, thereby reducing the workload of the manufacturing department.

[0078] The program is recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium containing programmed instructions for causing the information processing device to execute the processes described in the embodiments, and is mechanically read by the business support device 1 as needed. That is, a computer program is recorded in the storage unit 2, such as a ROM or HDD, for working with an OS (Operating System) to give instructions to a control unit 3 (CPU) and perform various processes. The computer program is loaded into RAM, expanded, and executed by the control unit 3 as appropriate.

[0079] In addition, the business support program of this business support device 1 may be stored in another server device connected to the business support device 1 via any network, and all or part of it may be downloaded and executed as needed.

[0080] Furthermore, the business support program for executing the processes described in the embodiments may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, or may be configured as a program product.

[0081] Here, the "recording medium" can be any "portable physical medium" such as a memory card, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, an SD (Secure Digital) card, a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), an EEPROM (registered trademark) (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory), a CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), an MO (Magneto-Optical Disk), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), and a Blu-ray (registered trademark) Disc.

[0082] Furthermore, a "program" is a data processing method written in any language or description method, regardless of the format, such as source code or binary code.

[0083] It should be noted that a "program" is not necessarily limited to a single structure, but includes a structure that is distributed as multiple modules or libraries, and a structure that achieves its function by working together with other programs, such as an OS.

[0084] Furthermore, the specific configuration for reading the recording medium in the task support device 1 of the embodiment, the reading procedure, and the installation procedure after reading can be any known configuration or procedure.

[0085] The memory unit 2 is a storage means such as a memory device such as RAM or ROM, a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, or an optical disk, and stores various programs, tables, databases, web page files, etc. used for various processes or providing websites.

[0086] The business support device 1 may be configured as an information processing device such as a known personal computer or a workstation, or may be configured as an information processing device connected to any peripheral device. The information processing device may be implemented with software (including programs or data) that realizes the processes described in the embodiments.

[0087] Furthermore, the specific forms of distribution and integration of the devices are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed or integrated in any unit depending on various additions or functional loads. In other words, the above-mentioned embodiments can be selectively implemented by combining them in any way. [Industrial Applicability]
