DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of a gross profit margin management device, a gross profit margin management method, and a gross profit margin management program 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.

[0014] [1. Configuration] An example of the configuration of a gross profit margin management 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 gross profit margin management device 100 according to this embodiment.

[0015] The gross profit margin management device 100 is constructed based on a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that the gross profit margin management device 100 is not limited to being constructed based on a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may 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 gross profit margin management device 100 comprises a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108. Each unit included in the gross profit margin management device 100 is 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 gross profit percentage management 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 gross profit percentage management 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). The data stored in the memory unit 106 may be stored in the server device 200, for example.

[0018] 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.

[0019] 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, and optical disks can be used as the storage unit 106.

[0020] The storage unit 106 stores, for example, a cost master 106a, a target gross profit rate master 106b, a remaining material master 106c, product material data 106d, processing instruction data 106e, and order data 106f.

[0021] The cost master 106a stores the cost of the material goods owned by each business establishment. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the cost master 106a stores information such as the length of the material goods in addition to the material goods CD, product name, and material goods cost. The material goods are, for example, steel materials such as pipes, and steel materials of the same diameter and material use the same product CD.

[0022] The target gross profit margin master 106b stores the target gross profit margin for each product material. The target gross profit margin master 106b may be, for example, a target gross profit margin master 106b' that stores the target gross profit margin for each business establishment and product material as shown in Fig. 4, or a target gross profit margin master 106b' that stores the target gross profit margin for each business establishment without distinction between products C and D as shown in Fig. 5.

[0023] The remaining material master 106c stores, for example, the remaining material product CD as shown in FIG.

[0024] The product material data 106d is, for example, a table of product material data such as a processing instruction number, a product CD, a product material, a length of the product material, and a weight, as shown in FIG.

[0025] 9, the processing instruction data 106e is a table of processing instruction data such as processing instruction number, business establishment, processing instruction date, processing destination, product CD, product name, product length, quantity, weight, product cost amount, material category, etc. In this embodiment, to explain the cutting processing of steel material as an example, the product material and the product manufactured by processing the product material use the same product CD because they are steel materials of the same diameter and material.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 11, the order data 106f is a table of order data such as order number, business establishment, customer number, customer name, order date, product CD, product name, product length, quantity, weight, sales amount, product cost, gross profit amount, gross profit rate, and processing instruction number.

[0027] The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that comprehensively controls the gross profit margin management device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processing based on these stored programs.

[0028] The control unit 102 conceptually includes, functionally, a product material data creation unit 102a, a remainder calculation unit 102b, a cost amount calculation unit 102c, a processing instruction data creation unit 102d, a gross profit rate calculation unit 102e, a warning output unit 102f, and an order data creation unit 102g.

[0029] The product material data creation unit 102a creates product material data 106d including the processing instruction number, product CD, product material name, product material length, weight, and product material cost. The product material data creation unit 102a creates the product material data 106d shown in FIG. 8 based on the above data input by the user via the processing instruction input screen MA shown in FIG.

[0030] The remainder calculation unit 102b determines whether or not a remainder is generated when a product is processed from product materials, and if a remainder is generated, calculates the remaining amount (weight).

[0031] The cost price calculation unit 102c calculates the cost price of the product based on the processing fee required to process the product material into the product and the cost price of the product material.

[0032] The processing instruction data creation unit 102d creates processing instruction data including a processing instruction number, a business establishment, a processing instruction date, processing destination information, product materials to be used, product information including the length, number, and weight of the product to be manufactured by processing the product materials, processing fees required for processing, product cost amount, and residual material classification. The processing instruction data creation unit 102d creates processing instruction data 106e shown in FIG. 9 based on the data input by the user on the processing instruction input screen MA shown in FIG. 7 and the product cost amount calculated by the cost amount calculation unit 102c.

[0033] The gross profit margin calculation unit 102e calculates the gross profit margin of the product based on the sales amount and the product cost price of the product. The gross profit margin calculation unit 102e calculates the gross profit amount and the gross profit margin of the product sales based on the sales amount of the product input by the user on the order input screen MB shown in FIG. 8 and the product cost price stored in the processing instruction data 106e.

[0034] The warning output unit 102f outputs a warning when the gross profit margin of the product calculated by the gross profit margin calculation unit 102e falls below the target gross profit margin stored in the target gross profit margin master 106b.

[0035] The order data creation unit 102g creates order data 106f including the order number, business establishment, customer information, order date, product CD, product information, sales amount, product cost, gross profit amount, gross profit rate, and processing instruction number. The order data creation unit 102g creates the order data 106f shown in Fig. 11 based on the data entered by the user on the order input screen MB shown in Fig. 10 and the gross profit amount and gross profit rate calculated by the gross profit rate calculation unit 102e. The order data 106f may include a check item for whether or not the order is subject to a warning.

[0036] [2. Processing] Here, a specific example of the process executed by the gross profit percentage management device 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0037] This description will be given of the process in which the gross profit margin management device 100 creates the product material data 106d through the order data 106f based on the data input via the processing instruction input screen MA and the order input screen MB, as well as the cost master 106a through the remaining material master 106c. Figure 2 is a diagram showing a flow for explaining the overall process flow of the gross profit margin management device 100 according to this embodiment.

[0038] When the user inputs processing instruction information through the processing instruction input screen MA shown in Fig. 7 (step S-1), the product material data creation unit 102a creates product material data 106d (step S-2). The user inputs the business establishment, processing instruction date, processing destination product CD, product material length, weight, and number to be processed on the processing instruction input screen MA. By inputting the product CD, etc., the product (material) name and product material cost amount are automatically displayed on the processing instruction input screen MA with reference to the cost master in Fig. 3. After the above data is input, the product material data creation unit 102a creates product material data 106d shown in Fig. 8.

[0039] After inputting data such as the length, quantity, weight, and processing fee of the product after processing (cutting) on ​​the processing instruction input screen MA, when the registration button is pressed, the remaining material calculation unit 102b compares the product material data 106d with the product information and calculates the amount of remaining material (step S-3).

[0040] Thereafter, the cost price calculation unit 102c calculates the cost price of the goods based on the processing fee required for processing the goods materials into goods and the cost price of the goods materials (step S-4).

[0041] The calculated product cost amount is displayed on the processing instruction input screen MA, and the product material data creation unit 102a creates processing instruction data 106e shown in Fig. 9 (step S-5). In this embodiment, a processing instruction in the case where no leftover material is generated will be described as an example.

[0042] In the processing instruction data 106e, products are registered by material, shape, and size. For example, in the processing of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, one round pipe with a length of 6,000 mm is cut into four round pipes with a length of 1,000 mm and four round pipes with a length of 500 mm, so processing instruction columns are formed for the 1,000 mm round pipe and the 500 mm round pipe as separate products.

[0043] The cost price of the product is calculated by dividing the cost price of the product raw materials by the weight ratio of each product and adding the processing fee of the product. In this embodiment, a 6,000mm round pipe is cut into four 1,000mm round pipes (4kg) and four 500mm round pipes (2kg). Therefore, the cost price of the 1,000mm round pipe is calculated by 4 / (4+2) the cost price of the product raw materials of 30,000 and adding the processing fee of 3,200 (23,200), and the cost price of the 500mm round pipe is calculated by 2 / (4+2) the cost price of the product raw materials of 30,000 and adding the processing fee of 2,200 (12,200).

[0044] Furthermore, on the processing instruction input screen MA, a processing instruction number is automatically assigned, the processing instruction input screen MA can be linked with the order input screen MB, and the leftover material classification can also be selected. When the link between the processing instruction input screen MA and the order input screen MB is selected (linked: 1, not linked: 0), the data entered on the processing instruction input screen MA is automatically displayed on the order input screen MB, eliminating the need to re-enter the same information on the order input screen MB. Furthermore, by selecting the leftover material classification (warehouse: 0, customer: 1), it is possible to specify whether leftover materials will be stored in the warehouse or sent to the customer.

[0045] After the processing instruction data is created, when the user inputs order information such as the order date, customer CD, and sales amount on the order input screen MB shown in FIG. 10 (step S-6), the gross profit rate calculation unit 102e calculates the gross profit amount and gross profit rate of the product based on the sales amount and cost price of the product (step S-7). The calculated gross profit amount and gross profit rate are displayed on the order input screen MB. An order number is automatically assigned on the order input screen MB. In addition, if linkage to the order input screen MB is selected on the processing instruction input screen MA, the order input screen MB is automatically started after the processing instruction data is created, and the information input and automatically displayed on the processing instruction input screen MA, such as the processing instruction number, business establishment, product CD, product name, product length, number, weight, and cost price, are automatically displayed on the order input screen MB.

[0046] The gross profit margin of the product is calculated by subtracting the cost price from the sales amount of the product to calculate the gross profit amount, and dividing the gross profit amount by the sales amount. The warning output unit 102f judges whether the gross profit margin of the product calculated by the gross profit margin calculation unit 102e is equal to or higher than the target gross profit margin stored in the target gross profit margin master 106b (step S-8). If it is equal to or higher than the target gross profit margin (step S-8: Yes), the order data creation unit 102g judges whether the registration button has been pressed on the order input screen MB (step S-9), and if it has been pressed (step S-9: Yes), the order data creation unit 102g creates the order data 106f shown in FIG. 11 based on the information entered on the order input screen MB (step S-10). If the registration button has not been pressed (step S-9: No), the order data creation unit 102g repeats step S-9 until it judges that the registration button has been pressed on the order input screen MB.

[0047] On the other hand, if the calculated gross profit margin falls below the target gross profit margin (step S-8: No), the warning output unit 102f outputs a warning message (step S-11). After outputting the warning message, the process proceeds to step S-9.

[0048] In the above example, a case where there is no remaining material when processing the product material has been described, but a specific example of processing when there is remaining material will also be described. Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the processing instruction input screen MA' when there is remaining material.

[0049] For example, when inputting processing instruction information for cutting a 6,000 mm long round pipe into five 1,000 mm long round pipes, the product material information is input in the product material information column of the processing instruction input screen MA', and information on the product, a 1,000 mm long round pipe, is input in the first line of the product information. The product material data 106d created by the product material data creation unit 102a is the same as when no leftover material is generated, since the same product material is used (see FIG. 8). After inputting the processing information on the product material and the product, when the registration button is pressed, the leftover material calculation unit 102b compares the content of the material information used with the product information and calculates the amount of leftover material. If the amount of leftover material is not "0", the processing instruction data creation unit 102d displays the leftover material column as product information on the processing instruction input screen MA', and creates the processing instruction data 106e' shown in FIG. 13. The remaining material product CD on the processing instruction input screen MA' and processing instruction data 106e' becomes "ZZZZ" by referring to the remaining material master 106c.

[0050] When leftover material is generated, the cost amount calculation unit 102c calculates the product cost amount without allocating a cost to the leftover material. When cutting a 6,000 mm round pipe into five 1,000 mm round pipes (5 kg), leftover material (1 kg) is generated. Since no cost is allocated to the leftover material, the cost amount of the five 1,000 mm round pipes is the product material cost amount of 30,000 plus the processing fee of 3,200 (33,200).

[0051] Additionally, on the processing instruction input screen MA', a warehouse with a remainder classification of "0" is selected. The order data creation unit 102g checks the remainder classification of the processing instruction data, and if "1: To customer" is selected, it obtains all processing instruction details including the remainder column on the processing instruction input screen MA' and creates the order input screen MB'. On the other hand, if "0: To warehouse" is selected, it obtains all processing instruction details excluding the remainder column on the processing instruction input screen MA' and creates the order input screen MB'. If a customer is selected, the remainder is delivered to the customer along with the product. If a warehouse with a classification of "0" is selected, only the product is delivered to the customer, and the remainder is left in the warehouse.

[0052] After creating the processing instruction data, when the order date, customer CD, sales amount, etc. are entered on the order input screen MB' shown in Fig. 13, the gross profit calculation unit 102e calculates the gross profit amount and gross profit rate of the product based on the sales amount and cost price of the product. The warning output unit 102f judges whether the generated gross profit rate is equal to or higher than the target gross profit rate, and when the registration button is pressed, the order data creation unit 102g creates the order data 106f' shown in Fig. 14.

[0053] As described above, according to this embodiment, first, the cost amount reflecting the processing fee is calculated for each product on the processing instruction input screens MA and MA', and processing instruction data including the cost amount is created. After that, order data including the gross profit margin for each product is created on the order input screens MB and MB'. Since the order input screens MB and MB' display a warning if the gross profit margin for a product is below the target gross profit margin, it is possible to consider the sales amount before creating the order data. Furthermore, when linking to the order input screens MB and MB' is selected on the processing instruction input screens MA and MA', the order input screens MB and MB' are automatically launched and common data is automatically displayed, reducing the effort of re-entering data.

[0054] [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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, making it possible to contribute to Goal 16 of the SDGs.
