DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of a purchase price negotiation support device, a purchase price negotiation support program, and a purchase price negotiation support method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

[0016] [1. Configuration] An example of the configuration of the purchase price negotiation support device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 etc. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the purchase price negotiation support device.

[0017] The purchase price negotiation support device 100 creates unit price negotiation history data including the negotiation date, the negotiated unit price, an adoption flag indicating whether the unit price has been adopted, negotiation result information indicating the negotiation result, etc. As a result, the purchase price negotiation support device 100 can negotiate the unit price by referring to the negotiation result.

[0018] The purchase price negotiation support device 100 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. The purchase price negotiation support device 100 is not limited to a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may be 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.

[0019] Purchase price negotiation supporting device 100 comprises a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108. The units comprised in purchase price negotiation supporting device 100 are communicatively connected via any communication path.

[0020] The communication interface unit 104 communicatively connects the purchase price negotiation support 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 purchase price negotiation support device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The data stored in the memory unit 106 may be stored in the server 200, for example.

[0021] An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input / output interface unit 108. The output device 114 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that cooperates with a mouse to realize a pointing device function. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as the keyboard 112 or the mouse 112.

[0022] Various databases, tables, files, etc. are stored in the storage unit 106. Computer programs for cooperating with an OS (Operating System) to give instructions to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes are recorded in the storage unit 106. For example, memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), fixed disk devices such as hard disks, flexible disks, optical disks, etc. can be used as the storage unit 106.

[0023] The storage unit 106 stores, for example, purchase data 106a, unit price negotiation history data 106b, product master 106c, and unit price master 106d.

[0024] 2 is a diagram showing an example of purchase data. The purchase data 106a is data including, for example, a purchase date of the product, a supplier of the product, product identification information (product code) for identifying the product, a purchased quantity of the product, and a unit price of the product. The purchase data 106a holds the quantity, unit price, and amount of the product purchased for each purchase date, each supplier, and each product in association with each other.

[0025] 3 is a diagram showing an example of unit price negotiation history data. The unit price negotiation history data 106b includes, for example, the negotiation date when the unit price of the product was negotiated, the supplier of the product, product identification information (product code) for identifying the product, the negotiated unit price when the unit price of the product was negotiated, an adoption flag indicating whether the unit price was adopted or not, a target quantity obtained by tallying up the quantity of the product purchased within a target period in the purchase data, a target unit price which is the unit price during the target period in the purchase data, and a reduction unit price indicating the difference between the target unit price and the negotiated unit price. In the adoption flag, "0" is input when the unit price has not been adopted, i.e., when the unit price is under negotiation or when the unit price has not been adopted, and "1" is input when the unit price has been adopted.

[0026] 4 is a diagram showing an example of a product master. The product master 106c is a master that manages, for example, product identification information (product code) for identifying a product and product classification. The product classification indicates the nature of the product in the buying and selling of the product (such as "low-margin, high-volume product" or "luxury product").

[0027] 5 is a diagram showing an example of the unit price master 106d, which is a master for managing unit prices for each supplier and each product, for example.

[0028] The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the purchase price negotiation 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 based on these stored programs. The control unit 102 can access the purchase data 106a to the unit price master 106d stored in the memory unit 106.

[0029] The control unit 102 conceptually includes a unit price negotiation history data creation unit 102a, a determination processing unit 102b, and an analysis form creation unit 102c.

[0030] The unit price negotiation history data creating section 102a is an information processing means for creating the unit price negotiation history data 106b.

[0031] The confirmation processing unit 102b is an information processing means that creates negotiation performance information that indicates the negotiation performance during a target period when the adoption flag of the unit price negotiation history data 106b is "1" indicating that the unit price has been adopted. The negotiation performance information includes, for example, a target quantity obtained by tallying up the quantity of goods purchased during a target period in the purchase data, a target unit price that is the unit price during the target period in the purchase data, and a markdown unit price that indicates the difference between the target unit price and the negotiated unit price. The confirmation processing unit 102b is also an information processing means that performs a confirmation process that confirms the adoption flag. When performing the confirmation process, the confirmation processing unit 102b registers the confirmed unit price in the unit price master 106d.

[0032] The analysis report creation unit 102c is an information processing means for creating an analysis report including a current discounted unit price, which indicates the difference between an unconfirmed negotiated unit price in the unit price negotiation history data 106b and the current unit price in the unit price master 106d, and the discounted unit price.

[0033] [2. Specific examples of processing] Here, a specific example of the process executed by purchase price negotiation support device 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0034] In this explanation, the purchase price negotiation support device 100 registers purchase data 106a every time purchase is made, registers unit price negotiation history data 106b every time negotiation is made, and creates an analysis form according to the negotiation situation after performing a confirmation process based on the operator's input. Note that the product master 106c and unit price master 106d are assumed to be registered in the storage unit 106 in advance.

[0035] [S1: Purchase data registration] Based on the input from the operator, the control unit 102 registers the purchase data 106a in the storage unit 106. As shown in Fig. 2, the control unit 102 registers the quantity, unit price, and amount of the purchased product for each purchase date, each supplier, and each product in the storage unit 106 based on the input from the operator.

[0036] [S2: Register unit price negotiation history data] The unit price negotiation history data creation unit 102a registers the unit price negotiation history data 106b based on the input of the operator. As shown in Fig. 3, the unit price negotiation history data creation unit 102a registers in the storage unit 106 the negotiation date when the unit price of the product was negotiated, the supplier of the product, product identification information (product code) for identifying the product, the negotiated unit price when the unit price of the product was negotiated, and an adoption flag indicating whether the unit price was adopted or not, based on the input of the operator.

[0037] [S3: Confirmation process] The analysis document creation unit 102c executes a determination process to determine the adoption flag based on the operator's input. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of unit price negotiation history data. As shown in FIG. 6, when the adoption flag of the unit price negotiation history data 106b is "1" indicating that the unit price has been adopted, the determination processing unit 102b refers to the purchase data 106a, and tallies the target quantity obtained by tallying up the quantities of products purchased within the target period in the purchase data, and registers the target quantity in the unit price negotiation history data 106b. Specifically, when "negotiated unit price: 124" is adopted for "product code: 12345" with "supplier: AAA" on "negotiation date: 7 / 21" and "adoption flag: 1" is input, the determination processing unit 102b tallies the purchase quantity of "supplier: AAA" and "product code: 12345" whose "purchase date" is included in "target period: 4 / 1 to 6 / 30" in the purchase data 106a. That is, the "quantity: 10" of "purchase date: April 10th" and the "quantity: 20" of "purchase date: April 15th" are added together, and "target quantity: 30" is automatically input into the unit price negotiation history data 106b in FIG.

[0038] 6. Furthermore, the determination processing unit 102b refers to the purchase data 106a, acquires the target unit price, which is the unit price for this target period, and registers it in the unit price negotiation history data 106b. Specifically, the determination processing unit 102b refers to "unit price: 150" for "Supplier: AAA" and "Product code: 12345" for the target period in the purchase data 106a, and automatically inputs "target unit price: 150" into the unit price negotiation history data 106b in FIG. 6.

[0039] The determination processing unit 102b also calculates a markdown unit price that represents the difference between the acquired target unit price and the negotiated unit price, and registers it in the unit price negotiation history data 106b. Specifically, the determination processing unit 102b subtracts "negotiated unit price: 124" from "target unit price: 150" for "negotiation date 7 / 21," "supplier: AAA," and "product code: 12345" in the unit price negotiation history data 106b of Fig. 6, and automatically inputs "markdown unit price: 26."

[0040] Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the unit price master. When the operator presses a predetermined confirmation button, the confirmation processing unit 102b executes the confirmation process and confirms the adoption flag. At this time, as shown in Fig. 7, the confirmation processing unit 102b registers the confirmed unit price in the unit price master 106d.

[0041] [S4: Purchase data registration] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of purchase data. When a new purchase is made, the control unit 102 registers the purchase data 106a shown in Fig. 8 in the storage unit 106 based on an input by the operator, similarly to step S1.

[0042] [S5: Register unit price negotiation history data] 9 is a diagram showing an example of unit price negotiation history data. When a new negotiation is performed, the unit price negotiation history data creating unit 102a registers unit price negotiation history data 106b shown in FIG. 9 based on an input by the operator, similar to step S2.

[0043] [S6: Analysis report creation process] The analysis ledger preparation unit 102c prepares an analysis ledger based on the operator's input. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an analysis ledger preparation screen. In the analysis ledger setting screen shown in FIG. 10, conditions for preparing an analysis ledger are set. Here, an example of preparing an analysis ledger by limiting the "supplier" to "AAA" as shown in FIG. 10 will be described. It is also possible to prepare an analysis ledger by specifying the "product classification", "product code", or "estimated price reduction amount" on the analysis ledger setting screen. The estimated price reduction amount is calculated by multiplying the price reduction unit price by the quantity to be purchased. In addition, by checking a check box on the analysis ledger setting screen, it is also possible to prepare an analysis ledger by displaying only "products with a smaller price reduction amount per quantity than the previous time". Similarly, it is also possible to prepare an analysis ledger by checking a check box on the analysis ledger setting screen and setting "sort by estimated price reduction amount". By using these functions, it is possible to negotiate by prioritizing items in order of the greatest impact on profits.

[0044] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an analysis form. As shown in FIG. 11, the analysis form creation unit 102c creates an analysis form including a current reduction unit price, which represents the difference between an unconfirmed negotiated unit price in the unit price negotiation history data 106b and a current unit price in the unit price master 106d, and a reduction unit price (previous reduction unit price). Specifically, the analysis form creation unit 102c creates an analysis form including "current reduction unit price: 2" obtained by subtracting "negotiated unit price: 122" currently being negotiated and unconfirmed in the unit price negotiation history data 106b in FIG. 9 from "unit price: 124" currently applied in the unit price master 106d in FIG. 7. Similarly, the analysis form creation unit 102c creates an analysis form including "previous reduction unit price: 26" by referring to "reduction unit price: 26" automatically input by the confirmation process in the unit price negotiation history data 106b in FIG. 9.

[0045] Furthermore, the analysis report creation unit 102c may refer to the unit price master 106d to create an analysis report including "Product Code: 12345" and "Product Category: Low-profit, high-volume product" corresponding to this product code.

[0046] Furthermore, the analysis form creation unit 102c may create an analysis form including "currently proposed unit price: 122" by referring to the "negotiated unit price: 122" currently under negotiation and undetermined in the unit price negotiation history data 106b in Fig. 9. Similarly, the analysis form creation unit 102c may create an analysis form including "previously determined unit price: 124" by referring to the currently applied "unit price: 124" in the unit price master 106d in Fig. 7.

[0047] Furthermore, the analysis report creation unit 102c may create an analysis report including the quantity planned to be purchased this time, "Current quantity: 25", based on an input from an operator. Similarly, the analysis report creation unit 102c may create an analysis report including the previous purchase quantity, "Previous quantity: 30", by referring to the unit price negotiation history data 106b in FIG.

[0048] Furthermore, the analysis report creation unit 102c may divide the current markdown unit price by the current quantity to create an analysis report including "markdown unit price / quantity: 0.0800". Similarly, the analysis report creation unit 102c may divide the previous markdown unit price by the previous quantity to create an analysis report including "markdown unit price / quantity: 0.8667".

[0049] Furthermore, the analysis report creation unit 102c may multiply the current markdown unit price by the current quantity and create an analysis report including "markdown amount: 50."

[0050] In addition, when "Market reduction unit price / quantity: 0.0800" is equal to or less than a threshold value (e.g., 1.0), the analysis report creation unit 102c may create an analysis report including "Market reduction unit price range: *" with "*" indicating an alert.

[0051] Here, a case where price negotiation is carried out again because the alert "Price reduction range: *" is displayed on the analysis form in FIG. 11 will be described.

[0052] [S7: Register unit price negotiation history data] 12 is a diagram showing an example of unit price negotiation history data. When a new negotiation is performed, the unit price negotiation history data creating unit 102a registers unit price negotiation history data 106b shown in FIG. 12 based on an input by the operator, similar to step S2.

[0053] [S8: Analysis report creation process] The analysis report creation unit 102c creates an analysis report again based on the operator's input. Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen. As shown in Fig. 13, the analysis report creation unit 102c creates an analysis report including "Current proposed unit price: 90", "Current markdown unit price: 34", and "Markdown unit price / quantity: 1,3600". At this time, the analysis report creation unit 102c does not display an alert of "*" for "Markdown unit price range" because "Markdown unit price / quantity: 1,3600" in the analysis report in Fig. 13 is greater than a threshold value (e.g., 1.0).

[0054] [S9: Confirmation process] When the negotiation is completed, similarly to step S3, the analysis report creation unit 102c executes a confirmation process to confirm the adoption flag based on the operator's input. Fig. 14 is a diagram showing an example of unit price negotiation history data. As shown in Fig. 14, when the adoption flag of the unit price negotiation history data 106b is "1" indicating that the unit price has been adopted, the confirmation processing unit 102b automatically inputs "target quantity: 25", "target unit price: 124", and "reduced unit price: 34".

[0055] Fig. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the unit price master. When the operator presses a predetermined confirmation button, the confirmation processing unit 102b executes the confirmation process and confirms the adoption flag. At this time, as shown in Fig. 15, the confirmation processing unit 102b registers the confirmed unit price in the unit price master 106d.

[0056] As described above, according to this embodiment, the unit price negotiation history data creating unit 102a creates the unit price negotiation history data 106b, so that it is possible to negotiate the unit price by referring to the negotiation results. Furthermore, since the negotiation results are stored in the unit price negotiation history data 106b, they can be used in the next and subsequent negotiations.

[0057] Furthermore, by negotiating the unit price using the unit price negotiation history data 106b, the process and details of the unit price negotiation become clear, and an unclear unit price determination process can be eliminated.

[0058] Furthermore, the analysis report creation unit 102c can display an alert such as "*" on the analysis report, thereby preventing the unit price from being determined without sufficient negotiation.

[0059] Furthermore, the analysis form creation unit 102c displays the product classification on the analysis form, so that the negotiation status and negotiation history for each property of the product can be referred to.

[0060] [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 goals 8 and 9 of the SDGs.

[0061] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to reducing waste and promoting paperless and electronic systems, thereby contributing to the achievement of goals 12, 13, and 15 of the SDGs.

[0062] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, making it possible to contribute to Goal 16 of the SDGs.
