[0009] The risk management support device, risk management support method, and program according to the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The risk management support device according to the embodiments of this disclosure uses artificial intelligence (AI) to support risk management in the supply chain.

[0010] A supply chain is a series of processes from the procurement of parts and materials, to the manufacturing of goods, inventory management, logistics, and sales, until the goods reach the customer. As shown in Figure 1, for example, the supply chain is a process in which products, parts, and materials circulate from upstream to downstream, and includes processes such as procurement, arrangement, production, and sales. Each component of the supply chain, such as suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and customers, carries out the procurement, supply, and sale of parts and goods in stages. The lines connecting the figures representing each company that is a component of the supply chain indicate that transactions of parts and goods take place between them. Suppliers supply and procure parts and materials hierarchically, from the downstream side, such as primary suppliers, secondary suppliers, and tertiary suppliers. Thus, a supplier can also be a buyer. In the following explanation, products, semi-finished products, goods, parts, etc. may be interpreted interchangeably as appropriate, depending on the circumstances of the supply or procurement of the components included in the supply chain.

[0011] (Embodiment 1) The risk management support device 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure is a general-purpose computer device such as a personal computer or a server computer that generates risk management information indicating a risk state in which delays in component procurement and supply may occur in the supply chain.

[0012] (Hardware configuration example of risk management support device 100) A hardware configuration example of the risk management support device 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2A, physically, the risk management support device 100 includes a processor 101, a memory 102, a storage 103, a display device 104, an input / output interface (input / output I / F (InterFace)) 105, and a communication interface (communication I / F) 106. These components are electrically connected to each other via a bus line BL. [[ID=…]]

[0013] The processor 101 is an arithmetic device that controls the operation of the entire risk management support device 100. The processor 101 is, for example, a general-purpose processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). Further, the processor 101 is not limited to a general-purpose processor and may be a dedicated processor composed of an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or the like.

[0014] The memory 102 is a main memory device and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like. The processor 101 reads programs and various data from the ROM or the storage 103 onto the RAM and executes processing to realize the control and functions of the entire risk management support device 100. [[ID=…]] [[ID=…]]

[0015] [[ID=…]] Note: There are some consecutive tags with no content in the original text (e.g., ,

[0013] , , ,

[0014] , , ,

[0015] , ), and I have left them as they are in the translation. If there is any specific requirement for these tags, please let me know. Also, it seems there are some tags missing in the consecutive numbering in the translation part, which should be adjusted according to the actual situation if needed.Storage 103 is an auxiliary storage device that stores programs and various data necessary for program execution, and includes non-volatile storage devices such as HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) and SSDs (Solid State Drives). Storage 103 stores, for example, the OS (Operating System), which is the basic software that controls the entire risk management support device 100, and applications that run on the OS and provide various functions. Some of the programs and various data necessary for program execution may be stored in ROM.

[0016] The display device 104 is an image display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), PDP (Plasma Display Panel), or organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, and displays various images according to the control of the processor 101. The display device 104 may also be used in a configuration connected to the input / output interface 105.

[0017] The input / output interface 105 is an interface for connecting to input devices such as keyboards and mice that input operation signals, and output devices such as speakers that output audio data. For example, the input / output interface 105 takes in operation data entered by the user via the input device and outputs data such as video and audio to the output device.

[0018] The communication interface 106 connects to a communication network and is an interface for the risk management support device 100 to communicate data with external devices. The communication interface 106 includes, for example, a network board, a wireless LAN module, etc.

[0019] (Example of the functional configuration of the risk management support device 100) Next, with reference to Figure 2B, an example of the functional configuration of the risk management support device 100 will be described. As shown in Figure 1, the risk management support device 100 functionally comprises a control unit 110, a storage unit 120, a display unit 130, an input / output unit 140, and a communication unit 150.

[0020] The control unit 110 controls the overall functions of the risk management support device 100. The control unit 110 includes a supply chain information acquisition unit 111 that acquires supply chain information, a prompt acquisition unit 112 that acquires prompts, and an information processing unit 113 that generates risk management information based on the supply chain information and prompts.

[0021] The supply chain information acquisition unit 111 acquires supply chain information, including information about the components included in the supply chain. The supply chain information acquisition unit 111 may acquire supply chain information, for example, from an external device or system, or through user input. The supply chain information includes, for example, company-specific risk information shown in Figure 3A, country / region-specific risk information shown in Figure 3B, supplier information shown in Figure 3C, customer information shown in Figure 3D, upstream network information shown in Figure 3E, downstream network information shown in Figure 3F, BOM (Bill of Materials) information shown in Figure 3G, shipment performance information shown in Figure 3H, and shipment plan information shown in Figure 3I. For company-specific risk information and country / region-specific risk information, risk evaluation values ​​are set for each of the various risk items that a company or country / region may potentially have. The risk evaluation value is expressed, for example, on a 6-point scale from 0 to 5, with a smaller number indicating lower risk and a larger number indicating higher risk. BOM information is composed of, for example, products, semi-finished products that are completed before being assembled as part of a product, and parts necessary for the manufacture of semi-finished products, all combined in a multi-layered manner. The supply chain information acquisition unit 111 is an example of a means for acquiring supply chain information.

[0022] The prompt acquisition unit 112 acquires prompts that include instructions for generating risk management information to manage supply chain risks. The prompt acquisition unit 112 acquires prompts, for example, through user input operations via the input / output unit 140. The prompt acquisition unit 112 is an example of a prompt acquisition means.

[0023] The information processing unit 113 generates risk management information by supplying the supply chain information acquired by the supply chain information acquisition unit 111 and the prompts acquired by the prompt acquisition unit 112 to the artificial intelligence, and outputs the generated risk information. In this embodiment, the artificial intelligence is a generative AI that generates data in various formats such as text, images, videos, and audio in response to prompts that instruct a specific task. The generative AI may be composed of algorithms such as BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), and GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks), or it may be composed of a combination of multiple algorithms including these. The information processing unit 113 controls the display unit 130, for example, to display the generated risk information and risk management information on the display screen. The information processing unit 113 is an example of an information processing means.

[0024] The information processing unit 113 generates the risk management information shown in Figure 4A by supplying the artificial intelligence with the supply chain information shown in Figures 3A to 3I and the prompt, "Calculate the overall risk of the primary supplier by taking into account the risk information of secondary and subsequent suppliers." The risk management information shown in Figure 4A is information that can be represented in a table format, where each component is associated with the supplier that supplies that component, the evaluation value of various risks that the supplier potentially possesses, and the evaluation value of the overall risk that takes all of these risks into consideration. In addition, the prompt may instruct that the risk evaluation values ​​of secondary and subsequent suppliers be weighted by multiplying them by gradually smaller coefficients as the hierarchy moves downstream, for example, to secondary, tertiary, etc. This makes it possible to effectively reflect the influence of lower-level suppliers in the risk management information generated by the information processing unit 113 in the risk of the primary supplier.

[0025] Furthermore, the information processing unit 113 generates the risk management information shown in Figure 4B by supplying the artificial intelligence with, for example, the supply chain information shown in Figures 3A to 3I and the prompt, "We want to increase sales of a specific product and want to know the procurement risk of that product. Please visualize the procurement risk of that product in a table and graph by tracing our supply chain from downstream to upstream." The risk management information shown in Figure 4B is information that can be expressed in a table format, where, for each product, the projected sales of that product, the evaluation values ​​of various risks that may arise in procuring that product, and the evaluation value of the overall risk that takes these various risks into account are associated. In addition, the risk management information shown in Figure 4C is information that can be expressed in a graph format, showing the relationship between the degree of dependence based on the sales amount of a product and the risks that may arise in manufacturing that product. From the risk management information expressed in this graph, it can be predicted that as the degree of dependence on a product increases, that is, as the sales amount increases, the risk also increases.

[0026] The storage unit 120 stores programs, data, etc., that the control unit 110 uses to perform various processes. The storage unit 120 also stores data that is generated or acquired by the control unit 110 as a result of performing various processes.

[0027] The display unit 130 displays various information in accordance with the control unit 110. For example, the display unit 130 displays a screen for the control unit 110 to receive various operations from the user. For example, the display unit 130 displays risk management information. The input / output unit 140 receives various data from the input device and outputs various data to the output device in accordance with the control unit 110. The communication unit 150 transmits and receives various data with external devices via the network in accordance with the control unit 110.

[0028] Next, the operation of the risk management support device 100 having the above configuration will be explained. The flowchart shown in Figure 5 is an example of the operation of the risk management support device 100, and is a flowchart relating to the risk management information generation process.

[0029] The control unit 110 of the risk management support device 100 starts the risk management information generation process in response to an operation input from the user instructing the risk management support device 100 to generate risk information.

[0030] When risk management information generation is initiated, the control unit 110 first acquires supply chain information (step S101). The supply chain information acquisition unit 111 of the control unit 110 acquires supply chain information, for example, via the input / output unit 140, through user input operations. The supply chain information acquisition unit 111 may also acquire supply chain information from an external device or system via the communication unit 150, or it may acquire it by reading supply chain information previously stored in the storage unit 120.

[0031] Next, the control unit 110 acquires a prompt (step S102). The prompt acquisition unit 112 of the control unit 110 acquires a prompt, for example, via the input / output unit 140, based on user input.

[0032] Next, the control unit 110 generates risk management information (step S103). The information processing unit 113 of the control unit 110 generates risk management information by supplying the supply chain information acquired by the supply chain information acquisition unit 111 and the prompts acquired by the prompt acquisition unit 112 to the artificial intelligence.

[0033] Next, the control unit 110 outputs risk management information (step S104). The information processing unit 113 controls the display unit 130 to display the risk management information generated in step S103 on the display screen. The information processing unit 113 also stores the generated risk management information in the storage unit 120.

[0034] After completing the process in step S104, the control unit 110 terminates the risk management information generation process.

[0035] As described above, the risk management support device 100 according to Embodiment 1 acquires supply chain information, which includes information on components included in the supply chain, and prompts, which include instructions for generating risk management information for managing supply chain risks. By supplying these to a generation AI, the device generates risk management information. This makes it possible to accurately grasp procurement risks related to products, parts, etc., according to the conditions specified in the prompts. Furthermore, it is possible to extract suppliers that should be prioritized based on the risks that each supplier potentially has. In this way, the risk management support device 100 can accurately support supply chain risk management.

[0036] (Embodiment 2) In Embodiment 1 described above, a risk management support device 100 was described that uses artificial intelligence to generate risk management information indicating a risk situation in which delays in the procurement and supply of parts may occur in the supply chain. In Embodiment 2, a risk management support device 100 was described that uses artificial intelligence to generate risk countermeasure information indicating countermeasures for risks in the supply chain. In Embodiment 2, the same configuration as in Embodiment 1 will be omitted from the description, and configurations different from Embodiment 1 will be described.

[0037] In Embodiment 2, the supply chain information acquisition unit 111 of the control unit 110 of the risk management support device 100 acquires supply chain information including information about components included in the company's own supply chain, as well as supply chain information including information about components included in the supply chains of other companies. The supply chain information of other companies may include, for example, information about components included in the supply chains of other companies, similar to the various types of information illustrated in Figures 3A to 3I. The supply chain information acquisition unit 111 may acquire this supply chain information, for example, from an external device or system, or it may be acquired through user input operations.

[0038] Furthermore, the prompt acquisition unit 112 acquires prompts, for example, prompts instructing the presentation of countermeasures against supply chain risks. The prompt acquisition unit 112 acquires prompts, for example, through user input operations via the input / output unit 140.

[0039] The information processing unit 113 generates risk countermeasure information by supplying supply chain information acquired by the supply chain information acquisition unit 111, prompts acquired by the prompt acquisition unit 112, and already created risk management information to artificial intelligence, and outputs the generated risk countermeasure information.

[0040] The information processing unit 113 generates the risk mitigation information shown in Figure 6A by, for example, supplying the artificial intelligence with its own and other companies' supply chain information and the prompt, "Based on the risk management information already created, please propose countermeasures to avoid risks. When considering alternative suppliers, please search not only our supply chain information but also the supply chain information of other companies. In doing so, please search for companies in the same industry as our suppliers but that are not our suppliers" from the supply chains of other companies. The risk mitigation information shown in Figure 6A is information that can be represented in a table format, where each component is associated with the supplier that supplies that component, the evaluation value of various risks that the supplier potentially has, the evaluation value of the overall risk that takes these various risks into account, the countermeasures to reduce the various risks and the overall risk, and alternative suppliers that can supply the component.

[0041] Furthermore, the information processing unit 113 generates the risk mitigation information shown in Figure 6B by supplying the artificial intelligence, for example, with supply chain information of the company and other companies, and a prompt that reads, "Based on the risk management information already created, please propose countermeasures to avoid risks. Please prioritize them considering our future sales forecast and propose countermeasures for each product." The risk mitigation information shown in Figure 6B is: This information, presented in a table format, associates each product with its sales forecast, an assessment of the various risks that may arise in achieving that sales forecast, an overall risk assessment that takes these various risks into account, a priority ranking assigned according to the overall risk assessment, and proposed measures to mitigate the various risks and the overall risk.

[0042] Next, the operation of the risk management support device 100 according to Embodiment 2 will be described. The flowchart shown in Figure 7 is an example of the operation of the risk management support device 100, and is a flowchart relating to the risk countermeasure information generation process.

[0043] The control unit 110 of the risk management support device 100 starts the risk countermeasure information generation process in response to an operation input from the user instructing the risk management support device 100 to generate risk countermeasures.

[0044] When risk management information generation is initiated, the control unit 110 first acquires supply chain information (step S201). The supply chain information acquisition unit 111 of the control unit 110 acquires supply chain information that includes information about components included in the company's own supply chain, as well as supply chain information that includes information about components included in the supply chains of other companies.

[0045] Next, the control unit 110 acquires a prompt (step S202). The prompt acquisition unit 112 of the control unit 110 acquires a prompt, for example, via the input / output unit 140, based on user input.

[0046] Next, the control unit 110 generates risk mitigation information (step S203). The information processing unit 113 of the control unit 110 generates risk mitigation information by supplying the artificial intelligence with the supply chain information acquired by the supply chain information acquisition unit 111, the prompts acquired by the prompt acquisition unit 112, and already created risk management information.

[0047] Next, the control unit 110 outputs risk mitigation information (step S204). The information processing unit 113 controls the display unit 130 to display the risk mitigation information generated in step S203 on the display screen. The information processing unit 113 also stores the generated risk mitigation information in the storage unit 120.

[0048] After completing the process in step S204, the control unit 110 terminates the risk mitigation information processing.

[0049] As described above, the risk management support device 100 according to Embodiment 2 generates risk countermeasure information by supplying artificial intelligence with supply chain information, including information on components included in the supply chains of the company and other companies, prompts instructing the presentation of countermeasures against supply chain risks, and already created risk management information. This makes it possible to accurately grasp procurement risks related to products, parts, etc., according to the conditions specified in the prompts, and to implement effective countermeasures against risks that each supplier may potentially have.

[0050] This disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit of this disclosure.

[0051] (modified version) In the above embodiment, the artificial intelligence used in the information processing unit 113 was described as a generative AI. However, the artificial intelligence is not limited to this; for example, a trained model that has learned the relationship between risks in the supply chain and the calculation of priorities for products, parts, and suppliers to be addressed, as well as countermeasures, may be used through machine learning. The learning algorithm can be a known algorithm such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, or reinforcement learning. Alternatively, multiple trained models trained for a specific task may be combined and used as the artificial intelligence.

[0052] In the above embodiment, for example, the control program executed by the processor 101 that realizes the control unit 110 of the risk management support device 100 was mainly stored in storage 103 beforehand. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the control program for executing the above-mentioned various processes may be implemented in an existing general-purpose computer, framework, workstation, etc., thereby enabling it to function as a device equivalent to the risk management support device 100 according to the above embodiment.

[0053] The method of providing such programs is optional. For example, they may be distributed by storing them on a computer-readable storage medium (flexible disk, CD (Compact Disc)-ROM, DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)-ROM), or they may be stored on network storage such as the Internet and provided for download.

[0054] Furthermore, if the above processing is performed through a division of labor between the OS (Operating System) and the application program, or through collaboration between the OS and the application program, only the application program may be stored on a recording medium, storage, etc. It is also possible to superimpose the program onto a carrier wave and distribute it over a network. For example, the above program may be posted on a bulletin board system (BBS) on a network and distributed over the network. The program may then be designed to execute the above processing by launching it and running it under the control of the OS, just like any other application program.

[0055] This disclosure allows for various embodiments and modifications without departing from the broad spirit and scope of this disclosure. Furthermore, the embodiments described above are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of this disclosure. In other words, the scope of this disclosure is indicated by the claims, not by the embodiments. Various modifications made within the scope of the claims and the equivalent significance of the disclosure are considered to be within the scope of this disclosure.
