Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information management system, and more particularly to a facility management system that provides management support for construction work on facilities, and maintenance and conservation of those facilities. [Background technology]

[0002] The construction, maintenance, and upkeep of buildings, schools, hospitals, research institutes, factories, and other facilities is managed for each facility, and the maintenance and upkeep of the various equipment held within the facility is often also managed for each piece of equipment.For example, contractors who own the same type of building may manage each building, and the air conditioning, water supply, drainage, and sanitation equipment installed in the building may also be managed for each piece of equipment.

[0003] As a result, facility management, from construction to completion, including the equipment and materials that make up the facility, is often left to the manager of the time. Any necessary maintenance or preservation work is carried out by a contractor selected on a case-by-case basis, with costs determined on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, while construction-related information from construction to major repairs at a facility serves as a reference for the facility's next renovation or repair, it is not used to plan and prepare construction or major repairs at similar facilities. For example, even if a piece of equipment in one building is replaced with a new one due to a malfunction, that experience is often not applied to equipment installed in other buildings. Furthermore, when managing each piece of equipment or fixture, it is often sufficient to simply store the relevant documents from past construction projects in a file as a history. However, with this type of management, even if you want to use the information for the next construction project, you need to find the information you need and read through the existing documents to find it.

[0004] When necessary information is managed as documents, there are inventions that devise methods for accessing managed documents, such as that described in JP 2018-124680 A (Patent Document 1), but there is no description of how to specifically manage the entire facility from the construction stage to the maintenance stage after completion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-124680 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Furthermore, when there are many facilities that require management for new construction or maintenance and conservation, although each facility has its own characteristics depending on the region, completion date, size, etc., creating a common management system makes it possible to reduce waste, reduce management costs for maintenance and conservation, and optimize operations. Therefore, the present invention provides an information management system that efficiently and appropriately manages managed objects, and in particular, a facility management system that efficiently and appropriately manages those managed objects when the managed objects are facilities, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] An information management system according to one aspect of the present disclosure is configured as follows: That is, the information management system has a storage means for recording a management history, a control means for deriving reference items related to future management targets based on the management history, and a display means for displaying the reference items, wherein the management history is for previously managed targets that are the same as or similar to the future management targets.

[0008] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a storage unit for recording management history is provided, and management items necessary for facility management are stored in the storage unit, thereby serving as the basis for subsequent calculations, processing, and viewing. A control unit for deriving reference items related to future management targets based on the management history is provided, and reference items useful for future management targets based on existing management history can be displayed. This allows facility owners, managers, etc. to manage these targets effectively. Furthermore, a display unit for displaying the reference items allows facility owners or managers to refer to the reference items. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides that the management history is for management targets identical or similar to the future management target. Therefore, reference items related to future management are derived from the management history of existing management targets identical or similar to the future management target. This increases the likelihood that reference items that will enable efficient future management will be displayed. In other words, not only can future management be made more efficient if there is an existing management target identical to the future management target, but even if there is no existing management target identical to the future management target, similar existing management targets can be used. This allows smoother management of future management targets compared to starting management from scratch.

[0009] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the reference items can include management histories of previously managed objects that are the same as or similar to the future managed object. Since the reference items include management histories of previously managed objects that are the same as or similar to the future managed object, the management histories of facilities and equipment that have already been managed, or the management histories of facilities and equipment that are similar to the facilities and equipment that have already been managed, can be displayed and referenced as they are.

[0010] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the reference items can include a management history within a predetermined period. Since the reference items include the management history within the predetermined period, it is possible to check the management history within the predetermined period, particularly the frequency and cost of construction work. Therefore, it is possible to estimate future management plans within a similar predetermined period, particularly the frequency and cost of construction work, which is useful for future management.

[0011] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the reference items may include alerts related to deadlines, amounts, or importance / urgency. Because the reference items include alerts related to deadlines, amounts, or importance / urgency, by using such alerts as a starting point for caution and searching for the cause of the alert, future management of facilities can be expected to be error-free in at least one of deadlines, amounts, or importance / urgency.

[0012] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the reference items may include a management history for each management level. Since the reference items include a management history for each management level, management within the management level division becomes possible. Therefore, even if there are a large number of facilities to be managed, the use of management levels makes it possible to manage the facilities in smaller units.

[0013] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the reference items may include at least one of a forecast or estimated time or cost for the future management target. Since the reference items include at least one of a forecast or estimated time or cost for the future management target, it becomes easier to forecast the frequency and amount of construction work within the next specified period, making future management easier.

[0014] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the prediction and estimation can be performed by artificial intelligence. By performing the prediction and estimation by artificial intelligence, more appropriate facility management can be achieved by taking into account influences beyond the reach of humans.

[0015] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the reference items may include a life cycle cost. Since the reference items include a life cycle cost, it is possible to refer to not only the initial cost but also the costs required for maintaining and preserving the facility until it is decommissioned.

[0016] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the managed objects can include facilities, equipment provided in the facilities, components constituting the facilities, or matters related to the facilities. Since the managed objects include facilities, equipment provided in the facilities, components constituting the facilities, or matters related to the facilities, the system can be suitably applied to managing matters related to facilities. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, management support for new construction or maintenance and conservation of managed objects such as various facilities and equipment installed in those facilities can be provided efficiently and effectively. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, existing management history can be used to manage facilities that require new management and management targets such as equipment installed in those facilities. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, common cross-sectional management can be performed for managed objects such as multiple facilities. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0018] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an information management system. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a management server according to the first embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The information management system of the present disclosure will be described in more detail. This information management system is a system that efficiently manages matters (management targets) necessary for managing various facilities such as buildings, schools, hospitals, research laboratories, and factories. In other words, the management targets of a facility include not only the facility itself, but also the equipment provided in the facility, the components that make up the facility, and various other matters related to the facility, and information management includes management of information related to the facility. Furthermore, overlapping matters in the following embodiments will not be described again.

[0020] 1 is a system configuration diagram of a facility management system 10 that manages facility information in particular among information management systems. This facility management system (hereinafter also referred to as the "system") 10 includes a management server 1, facility operator terminals 2 (2a, 2b, ...) used by the facility owner or other party who oversees the maintenance and conservation management of the facility (hereinafter referred to as the "facility operator"), construction manager terminals 3 (3a, 3b, ...) used by those responsible for facility management tasks (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "construction manager"), such as construction personnel who perform maintenance management, repairs, construction, etc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as "construction") for maintaining and preserving the facility, and management companies that coordinate these construction personnel, etc., and a system manager terminal 4 (4a, 4b, ...) used by the manager of the entire system (hereinafter referred to as the "system manager"), all of which are connected to each other via a network 5.

[0021] The management server 1 receives instructions from various terminals 2, 3, and 4 via a network 5 and performs processing in accordance with those instructions. The management server 1 is configured with a central processing unit (CPU) that functions as a calculation device and a control device, a main memory device such as RAM, an external memory device such as a hard disk, a communication device such as a modem, computer programs, etc. These components make up the functional blocks described below.

[0022] The management server 1 may be a computer management server connected to a network other than the various terminals 2, 3, and 4, or may be a management server that also serves as the computer of the system manager terminal 4. Furthermore, it may be a cloud management server used in cloud computing.

[0023] The facility operator terminal 2 is a computer used by the facility operator, and may be one or more computers 2a, 2b, etc. This facility operator terminal 2 is configured with a communication device that can connect to and communicate with a network such as an in-house LAN or the Internet, and when it starts a program and connects to the network, it can retrieve and display data stored in the management server 1, send data entered through an input device to the management server 1, and receive data from the management server 1 and output it in the form of email or the like through an output device. The computer that serves as this facility operator terminal 2 may be a so-called personal computer, or may be a mobile phone terminal, tablet terminal, etc.

[0024] The construction manager terminal 3 is a computer used by the construction manager, and can be one or more computers 3a, 3b, ... This construction manager terminal 3 is configured with a communication device that can connect to and communicate with a network such as an in-house LAN or the Internet, and when a program is started and connected to the network, it can retrieve and display data stored in the management server 1, send data entered through an input device to the management server 1, and receive data from the management server 1 and output it in the form of email or the like through an output device. The computer that serves as this construction manager terminal 3 can be a so-called personal computer, as well as a mobile phone terminal, tablet terminal, etc.

[0025] The system manager terminal 4 is a computer used by the system manager, and can be one or more computers 4a, 4b, ... This system manager terminal 4 is configured with a communication device that can connect to and communicate with a network such as an in-house LAN or the Internet, and when it starts a program and connects to the network, it can retrieve and display data stored in the management server 1, send data entered through an input device to the management server 1, and receive data from the management server 1 and output it in the form of email or the like through an output device. The computer that serves as this system manager terminal 4 can be a so-called personal computer, or it can be the management server 1.

[0026] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the management server 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the management server 1 has a control means 11, an ID recognition means 12, a storage means 13, a display means 14, and other means 15 such as a communication means.

[0027] The control means 11 controls the various means described below to operate them so as to perform their functions, selects and extracts necessary data from the various data recorded in the memory means 13, classifies the data by specific items according to the purpose, and performs calculations such as aggregation.

[0028] The ID recognition means 12 has the function of identifying specified ID information for identifying persons who can access the facility management system 10, and more specifically, in response to an access request to the system 10 from various terminals 2, 3, 4, it determines whether or not the person has access rights, and if so, the extent of the access rights or what the access rights are for. For example, an access request from the facility operator terminal 2 is permitted if the facility to be accessed is subject to the management of the requester, but is not permitted if it is a facility other than the facility to be accessed. Also, an access request from the construction manager terminal 3 is permitted if the facility to be accessed is a construction target of the requester, but is not permitted if it is a facility other than the construction target. An example is where the presence or absence of access permission is determined based on a password.

[0029] The storage means 13 has a function of recording various items required for management related to facilities and equipment as management items and providing them as a management item database. The display means 14 displays the management items stored in the storage means 13 and the items processed by the control means 11 on the various terminals 2, 3, 4, outputs them as reports, and also displays the input screens on the various terminals.

[0030] The management server 1 can also have various other functions, such as an alert generation means for observing abnormal values ​​and issuing an alert, and a communication means for transmitting various outputs such as alert information and reports to various terminals that are output targets, such as the facility operator terminal 2 and the construction manager terminal 3.

[0031] The facility management system 10 is a system that integrates various mechanisms required for the construction of various facilities, as well as the maintenance and conservation of those facilities after construction. As a result, it can perform multiple functions, such as the following:

[0032] (1) Project management function The items necessary for facility management become projects, and task management, progress management, and document management necessary for executing the projects can be performed. (2) Database function Various numerical values ​​necessary for facility management can be stored as a database. (3) Information sharing function Information can be shared between facility owners and construction managers through the system. (4) Workflow function Proposals, proposals, approvals, settlements, etc. can be carried out on the system. (5) Various aggregation functions It is possible to compile and present the figures necessary for management, such as amounts and periods.

[0033] (6) Document management function Documents stored at each facility can be managed together. (7) Progress management function The progress of the project can be managed. (8) Alert function It is possible to draw attention to the period, amount, importance, urgency, etc. (9) Management simplification function Management can be simplified from various perspectives. For example, it can aggregate LCC (Life Cycle Cost) and perform LCC management functions such as searching and simulation. (10) Equipment ledger function Data registered using BIM (Building Information Modeling) can be managed in a database as an equipment ledger.

[0034] <Project management function> We will use a hypothetical community center A as an example of a facility, and assume that community center A, owned and managed by prefecture A and city A, has air conditioners installed in each room. We will explain the management of community center A and the equipment installed in community center A. Community center A has a Japanese-style room A, which has two air conditioners A and B installed.

[0035] In this case, an air conditioner maintenance construction company (hereinafter referred to as "Construction Manager A"), which has been commissioned by City A to manage the maintenance and inspection work required for the upkeep and maintenance of all air conditioners installed in Community Center A, discovers a malfunction in which air conditioner A installed in Japanese-style room A in Community Center A is making noise, and takes action to address this malfunction. The repair of the noise from air conditioner A is set up as one project within system 10.

[0036] <Database function> Here, we will explain using a community center as an example of a facility and an air conditioner as an example of equipment, but in general, there are various types of facilities such as buildings, schools, hospitals, research institutes, factories, etc., and there are various types of equipment other than air conditioners. The matters that need to be managed in such facilities and equipment are called management items.

[0037] Management items related to facilities include, for example, facility-specific information such as the name and address of the facility, telephone number, owner, completion date, drawings of the facility and each part of the facility, installation style, material, size, floor number, room name, etc. Management items related to facility equipment include parts of the facility such as the roof, windows, entrances, toilets, walls, and floors, as well as boilers, water supply, air conditioners, desks, chairs, and various other equipment and tools. The management items that are required to be recorded in the process of managing facilities or equipment include, for example, the name, type, date and time of the work, cost, purpose of the work, details of the work, and matters related to the work manager. The above are just examples, and all matters necessary for managing facilities are included in the management items. If the times when maintenance or periodic repairs are required can be predicted in advance, such prediction times are also included. The above management items are recorded in the storage means 13 and function as a database.

[0038] Each of the above management items is assigned a management level as needed. Management levels are a classification that allows for easy access and classification of the numerous management items by setting a hierarchy of levels. For example, if the object to be managed is a building such as a community center, one example would be to set four management levels: the entity that owns or manages the community center, the building type that distinguishes the building, the floor, and the room. Note that management levels are also included in the broad definition of management items.

[0039] Each facility can be assigned an identification code by the system manager to identify the facility, in addition to the management items. The identification code includes at least the facility management entity and the facility name (facility type).

[0040] These management items are registered in the facility management system 10 when a new facility is constructed, or when management of an old facility using the system 10 begins, and thereafter as needed. The facility owner who owns the facility inputs the items necessary for management from the facility owner terminal 2, and the management server 1 records the input items in the storage means 13, thereby performing registration. In addition to the facility owner, this registration can also be performed by a construction manager who inputs the information from the construction manager terminal 3. Furthermore, the system manager of this system 10 can also input the information from the system manager terminal 4.

[0041] Returning to the maintenance and inspection of the air conditioner installed in Community Center A, Construction Manager A accesses System 10 from Construction Manager Terminal 3 using a password that certifies the access authority. Construction Manager A has access authority linked to Air Conditioner A in Community Center A, and is therefore permitted to access System 10 by Control Means 11.

[0042] Generally, access to the facility management system 10 requires access authorization, and such authorization is also required to input necessary information. In principle, the system manager of the facility management system 10 can access all of the system's functions, but even the system manager can impose restrictions, such as limiting access to system maintenance, etc., or requiring the facility owner's consent for certain items such as individual expenses, from the perspective of confidentiality. Furthermore, a construction manager can access the construction work he or she is in charge of but not other construction work, but can also change the access authorization to other construction work at the same facility with the facility owner's consent.

[0043] Management items, including management levels, can be entered and registered in the facility management system 10 by the system manager, facility operator, and construction manager within their respective authority, but the identification code is set by the system manager and registered by the control means 11.

[0044] Now, in the work to repair the noise of air conditioner A, construction manager A first creates a file related to the repair of air conditioner A. Construction manager A selects the new creation banner displayed on the monitor of construction manager terminal 3 and inputs the type of management, construction date, name of facility to be repaired, name of equipment to be repaired, etc., and control means 11 creates a file related to the repair of air conditioner A and displays a new construction application form. The construction application form is prepared in a predetermined format that requires the input of necessary information for the construction application, and in response to an instruction from the construction manager terminal 3, the control means 11 presents a blank construction application form to the construction manager terminal 3. It is assumed that, prior to the presentation of the construction application form, it has been registered in the system 10 and recorded in the storage means 31 that air conditioner A is owned by City A and is installed in Japanese-style room A on the fourth floor of community center A.

[0045] Construction manager A applies for the need for noise prevention work on air conditioner A by entering the necessary information into the construction application form displayed on the browser of the construction manager terminal 3. The construction application form can be written in a variety of formats, from a selection method in which the most appropriate item is selected from several items to an optional description section in which any information is requested. It is preferable to use an optional description section for the section explaining the circumstances under which the problem occurred and the section explaining the measures to be taken to resolve the problem. In addition to the construction application form that is displayed on the construction manager terminal 3 in an input-ready state, the construction manager can also prepare similar input information in Excel format and upload the Excel file from the construction manager terminal 3 to the system 10.

[0046] <Information sharing and workflow functions> The construction application form that has been completed by the construction manager is recorded in the storage means 13, and the control means 11 makes it possible for this construction application form to be disclosed to the facility owner of community center A. The facility owner can access the system 10 through the facility owner terminal 2 and view this construction application form. When the facility owner considers whether or not to permit the construction and inputs the results through the facility owner terminal 2, this is recorded in the storage means 13, and the control means 11 makes it possible for the facility owner to disclose the results of the construction permit / rejection to the construction manager terminal 3. In this way, the facility owner and the construction manager can be connected on the system 10 and exchange information. In addition, construction work can be proposed and construction permits approved.

[0047] When the construction is permitted and construction manager A receives the response, he makes a construction schedule and begins preparations for the construction. When the construction schedule is entered from the construction manager terminal 3, the storage means 13 records it, and the control means 11 makes it possible for this construction schedule to be disclosed to the facility owner of community center A. The facility owner considers whether or not to permit the construction schedule and enters the result. The storage means 13 records this decision on whether or not to permit it, and the control means 11 makes it possible for the response on construction permission to be disclosed to construction manager A. As with the construction application form, a predetermined format for the construction schedule, which requires the input of items necessary for the progress of the construction, is prepared in advance, and in response to an instruction from the construction manager terminal 3, the control means 11 presents a blank construction application form to the construction manager terminal 3. After that, the facility owner approves or rejects the construction schedule, which is done in the same way as the approval or rejection of the construction application described above.

[0048] When construction manager A carries out the work and the work is completed, he enters the information into a construction report on the construction manager terminal 3. A predetermined format is prepared for the construction report, requiring the input of items necessary for reporting the results of the work, and in response to an instruction from the construction manager terminal 3, the control means 11 presents a blank construction report to the terminal 3. The facility owner decides whether or not to allow the work to be completed and enters the result, which is then recorded in the storage means 13.

[0049] When the construction work is completed in this way, the control means 11 links all of the work flow for the construction work on air conditioner A, from the cause of the construction to the construction schedule and construction report, and creates a file called a single construction information page, in which the storage means 13 records the documents and construction details that have arisen from the previous exchanges. Therefore, any person in charge of the system 10, the facility owner, or the construction manager (hereinafter, when referring to at least one of these three parties, they will also be referred to as "stakeholders") can simply access this file to view everything from the construction application form to the construction progress status and other construction progress reports all in one construction information page.

[0050] In the above example, we explained the process of repairing a problem with air conditioner A through a construction application form, construction schedule, and construction report. However, in addition to these documents, other necessary communication and reporting documents such as purchase order approval forms and settlement reports are also prepared, and approvals and settlements related to these documents are also made.

[0051] <Various aggregation functions> In the above workflow for repairing a malfunction of air conditioner A, the control means 11 tally up the necessary figures as appropriate for amounts such as the settlement amount and the actual repair cost, and periods such as the parts delivery time and repair period, and records these as management items in the memory means 13, and the display means 14 can display them.

[0052] <Document management function> In addition to documents such as construction application forms, which are prepared in advance by the system 10 in a predetermined format and require input, the relevant parties can also store documents in various formats prepared by them on the first construction information page. In other words, the relevant parties can upload the necessary documents from their respective terminals, and these documents can be stored on the first construction information page by the storage means 13. In this way, even existing documents can be maintained and managed by the system 10. Furthermore, various documents stored in an existing database separate from the present system 10 can also be imported into the storage means 13 by making the control means 11 able to refer to the storage locations in the existing database.

[0053] The parties involved have been simply divided into three groups: the system manager of System 10, the facility operator, and the construction manager. However, there are various facility operators with different positions and roles, such as Prefecture A, City A, the department manager in charge of City A, and the staff member in charge of City A. Therefore, access rights can be divided among facility operators. The same can be said for system managers and construction managers. For example, the system 10 can include a flow in which a construction application request in the form of a construction application is received by the manager in charge of City A, an order approval document is prepared by the manager in charge of City A, and payment is received from City A. In this case, the authority can be subdivided, such that the manager in charge of City A among facility owners can access and receive the construction application for the construction application request, but City A cannot access or receive the construction application.

[0054] Depending on the nature of the work, it may be completed in a single operation, or it may take multiple operations or days. Alternatively, the work may involve multiple stages or processes. The work flow for the malfunction of air conditioner A described above is just one example; the details written in the application form and report, and the workflow process between the facility manager and the work manager may vary accordingly. For example, if the work does not proceed as originally planned, a new work task can be created, and a new work schedule can be created.

[0055] In the workflow for creating the construction information page, when construction manager A submits a new construction application, the control unit 11 references records related to air conditioner A registered in the storage unit 13 and, if there is any history of construction or inspection related to air conditioner A, displays that history as a reference on the construction manager terminal 3 of construction manager A. Alternatively, if there is any history of construction or inspection related to another air conditioner with similar functionality to air conditioner A, such as the same type, output, or applicable area as air conditioner A, that history is also displayed as a reference on the construction manager terminal 3. This allows the construction manager to create a new construction plan while taking past cases into consideration when dealing with new problems. This reduces the possibility of submitting a construction application that proposes a construction period, budget, etc. that is far removed from past performance, and also reduces the burden on the facility owner in deciding whether to approve the construction.

[0056] The display of the above reference information can be performed at various stages and in various ways. First, before a construction manager prepares a construction application form to apply for new construction work to address a problem with air conditioner A at community center A, the control means 11 searches for keywords that are thought to be related to the new construction work, and the display means 14 displays the search results. For example, it is possible to display the past construction history of air conditioner A at community center A, the construction history of air conditioner B of the same type as air conditioner A, the construction history of air conditioner G at community center B that has the same power as air conditioner A, and even the history of air conditioner malfunctions related to noise.

[0057] Furthermore, after a construction application form is created, the display means 14 can display the construction history in a list format within the construction application form. This allows the facility owner to approve or reject the application details, such as costs and construction period, related to the new construction application by referring to past examples. In this case, the construction history is created by the control means 11 extracting management history related to management items such as air conditioner A and community center A entered when the construction application form is created from the management history registered in the storage means 13, regardless of whether or not the construction manager has performed a keyword search.

[0058] Furthermore, while the display of such management history can display all management history extracted by the control means 11, if the number of cases is large, it can also display management history within a specified period, such as the past one year or five years. In principle, the specified period is selected by setting a default period, but the specified period can be changed by instructions from the relevant parties.

[0059] In the above example, repair work to fix a problem with air conditioner A was explained, but various management and repair work carried out on other problems that occur with air conditioner A, air conditioners other than air conditioner A, other equipment other than air conditioners, and even community centers other than community center A and other facilities other than community centers are also registered in system 10 in the same way as the repair work to fix a problem with air conditioner A described above. For example, this includes all construction work related to various facility-related parts such as boilers, plumbing, wallpaper, etc. at Community Center A, and equipment installed in the facility, as well as construction work at other community centers, schools, factories, buildings, and other facilities.

[0060] <Progress management function> Depending on the request of the facility owner or construction manager, tasks in the repair project for air conditioner A, such as construction applications, permits, and construction schedule planning, can be displayed as items, and progress can be displayed to show the progress of each. In addition, depending on the request of the facility owner, projects other than the repair work for air conditioner A can also be displayed in tabular form, allowing the facility owner to grasp the progress of projects being carried out at a glance.

[0061] <Alert function> An alert function is provided for various periods, deadlines, amounts, importance, urgency, etc., and appropriate alerts will be displayed under specified conditions.

[0062] Deadline alerts: For example, an alert can be set to be issued for problems such as no actual work being carried out several days after the scheduled construction date, or the work being carried out on the scheduled date and time being changed. For example, by setting a certain lead time between the scheduled construction date and the actual construction date, an alert can be issued if that lead time is exceeded, or if the scheduled date is changed, an alert can be issued by registering the change date and time. More specifically, in the former case, the control means 11 determines whether a construction report has been made beyond the lead time based on the construction date set in the construction schedule, whether or not there has been a construction report from the construction manager recorded on that construction date, and the predetermined lead time. If there has not been a construction report, an alert can be automatically issued, and the alert can be displayed when a specified person accesses the system 10.

[0063] Amount Alert: Regarding amounts, an alert can be issued if the amounts entered and registered through various documents exceed a preset amount range. For example, if an attempt is made to enter an amount for a certain part listed on a construction application form that exceeds the preset amount range for that type of part, the control means 11 will determine the difference between the amounts and issue an alert. In other words, the control means 11 can compare any amount, such as construction cost or parts cost, entered by the construction manager for a specific construction project with the amount recorded for that item, and display an alert on the construction manager terminal 3 to prevent the registration of an application form containing such an amount.

[0064] Alternatively, if the estimated cost of repairs to fix the noise in air conditioner F in community center B is higher than the cost of repairs to fix the noise in air conditioner A in community center A, an alert can be issued when the estimate is presented, and a display can be displayed requesting that the history of repairs to fix the noise in air conditioner A in community center A be referenced. This is done by the control means 11, when applying for construction of air conditioner F at community center B, referring to the construction history of other air conditioners, extracting construction items for existing air conditioners that are the same as or of a similar level to the construction items for air conditioner B, comparing the amounts, and sounding an alarm if the difference in amount exceeds a predetermined amount.

[0065] Alerts based on importance and urgency: You can set up alerts based on the importance and urgency of the need for repairs, etc. For example, if there is a water leak, it cannot be left unattended for days, so an alert will be issued when repairs to the leak are required as soon as possible. An alert column is provided in various documents such as application forms, and by checking the column, the control means 11 judges the importance and urgency, and if there is importance or urgency, an alert is displayed on the browser of the relevant person's terminal 2, 3, 4.

[0066] Alternatively, the control means 11 equipped with artificial intelligence analyzes the entries based on the entries in the free comment section of various application forms, analyzes the degree of urgency, importance, problems, etc. of the construction work, etc. based on character analysis, and issues an alert if it is determined to be important or urgent. In addition, it is possible to set levels for the alert, such that the highest level of urgency is set when there is a risk of causing personal injury if an emergency response is not taken, and the next level of urgency is set when there is a risk of causing serious damage to facilities and equipment, but not to the extent of causing personal injury, and to vary the frequency, number of floors, etc. of alert issuance by setting different levels of importance or urgency.

[0067] <Functions for easy management> Facilitating current status inquiries: When an application for construction work on air conditioner A is made, and other construction work applications for other equipment are made, the facility manager must also review the contents of those applications and make a decision on whether to approve or deny them. The control means 11 extracts various applications, such as the application for construction work on air conditioner A, and requests to the facility manager from the storage means 13 and provides them to the facility manager. When the facility manager selects a current status inquiry banner from the menu displayed on the facility manager terminal 2, the display means 14 displays these requests in a list format. This allows the facility manager to fully understand the requests for construction work applications and other work for various equipment and issue instructions.

[0068] Facilitating past record inquiries: Facility operators can refer to the past history of each of their multiple community centers, or for each piece of equipment, such as air conditioners, installed in multiple community centers, across the board. For example, if a period of the past year is specified, the control means 11 extracts all construction work, inspections, etc. carried out during that period and adds up the costs for each required item. The display means 14 prepares an input screen with options that can be selected in advance from the management level, which is the unit for managing things, or for each piece of equipment, and displays past construction work upon request from the facility operator. If the facility owner selects Community Center A, which is a building type, as the management level from the menu, the control means 11 can extract the work done in the past year for all the equipment in Community Center A, regardless of the type of equipment, and the display means 14 can display this in a list format. Alternatively, if the facility owner selects air conditioners, the control means 11 can extract the work done on the air conditioners in all the facilities owned and managed by the facility owner across the facilities, and the display means 14 can display this in a list format.

[0069] Management of multiple construction managers: There are many cases where a facility owner contracts with construction manager A to handle the maintenance, management, and progress of construction for air conditioner A at community center A, while also contracting with construction manager D to handle the maintenance, management, etc. of air conditioner G at another community center B. In such cases, comparing the number of construction projects, costs, frequency, and percentages by construction manager can be useful for evaluating construction managers and for selecting them for the following year and beyond. That is, the control means 11 calculates the number of construction works, costs, frequency, etc., and their ratios for each construction manager, and the display means 14 displays these calculation results for each construction manager.

[0070] In order to manage multiple different construction managers, the number of cases submitted by these construction managers and the number of cases approved or returned by the facility owner can be compiled and compared for each construction manager, the lead time until the required upload is measured and compiled and compared for each construction manager, and the number of days from report submission to defect correction can be compiled and compared for each construction manager, which can contribute to quality control of construction managers.

[0071] By compiling the number of construction works for a given item, the percentage of construction work, the total cost amount and percentage of construction work, etc. from various perspectives based on various past management histories, facility operators or construction managers can prepare budgets in advance and plan construction work for similar items in other facilities or other equipment.

[0072] Budget formulation: For example, when considering next year's budget for construction, inspection, and maintenance at Community Center D, instead of simply aggregating last year's results and applying them to this year, compare them with the results of other Community Centers A, B, etc. for the same period to determine whether there are any significant differences in the cost per specified piece of equipment, such as the cost per air conditioner, or the cost per specified area of ​​the facility, such as the cost per unit area calculated by combining the area of ​​the rooms in the facility. If the maintenance costs, including the construction costs per air conditioner, for Community Center D last year were exceptionally high, then Community Center D may be particularly prone to malfunctions due to some special circumstances, and more thorough research than usual can be conducted to consider individual circumstances when planning next year's budget. That is, the control means 11 calculates the cost per equipment requested for each facility, the cost per facility area, the number of construction works, the frequency, etc., and the ratios of these, and the display means 14 displays these calculation results for each facility.

[0073] Defect analysis: Analysis of past construction history can be useful when planning future projects, such as next year's budget or construction plan. For example, the construction history of all the air conditioners in all the community centers is compiled for each part and analyzed by the artificial intelligence of the control means 11. This analysis makes it possible to reach a conclusion that if a malfunction occurs in one part, there is a high possibility that a malfunction will occur in another related part in the near future, and it is then possible to budget for repairs to the parts that are likely to malfunction, or to schedule maintenance inspections. That is, using past data on a certain piece of equipment, including its construction history, construction costs, and the period since installation or the previous construction, as training data, a trained learning model is prepared through machine learning to predict and estimate the timing of malfunctions and construction costs for other parts of the same type, and current data on new equipment is input into this learning model to predict the timing of the next malfunction of that equipment and construction costs, obtaining estimated results, which are then output by display means 14 to the relevant party's terminal.

[0074] Regular maintenance: When regular maintenance or inspections are required for certain equipment in all facilities, it is easy to create a cross-facility schedule. For example, when City A plans a maintenance survey of the air conditioners installed in all community centers in City A, it refers to the management levels of all air conditioners registered in System 10, and in the example where four management levels are set as explained above, it can carry out a maintenance survey for each floor by setting the management level for each floor. That is, in the first period, a maintenance survey is carried out for the air conditioners installed on the first floor of all community centers A, B, etc., and in the second period, a maintenance survey is carried out for the air conditioners installed on the second floor of all community centers A, B, etc. That is, for each management level requested by the person concerned, the control means 11 extracts any registered scheduled dates for the next construction or maintenance of fixtures within that management level, and the display means 14 outputs the scheduled dates and associated management items such as fixture names in chronological order. Even if construction plans overlap on the same day, facility operators can make schedules as long as the management levels, i.e., the floors, are different.

[0075] Cross-sectional use of facility management records from different facility operators: With the permission of the facility operator, the system manager can use past data on the facilities and equipment that the facility operator grasps and manages. For example, based on the records of annual construction costs, number of construction days, number of equipment, facility area, etc. for all community centers A, B, etc. managed by City A, it is possible to predict and estimate the annual construction costs, number of construction days, number of equipment, etc. for community centers managed by City D other than City A. Therefore, the records of community centers in City A can be used to manage other facilities. That is, the control means 11 calculates the average annual construction cost, number of construction days, number of equipment, etc. for each facility area of ​​a community center based on records of the annual construction cost, number of construction days, number of equipment, facility area, etc. for all community centers A, B, etc. managed by City A, and calculates the annual construction cost, number of construction days, number of equipment, etc. according to the facility area of ​​the community centers managed by City D. Then, the display means 14 displays the results. In this way, the authority of a facility owner is limited to the facilities and equipment that they own or manage, but with the facility owner's consent, the system manager can go beyond the facility owner's scope and use the management history of various facilities and their equipment.

[0076] Managing LCC: Building a new facility requires costs, as does maintaining and maintaining it. Therefore, in order to maintain and maintain a new facility, it is necessary to manage the LCC, including not only the initial construction costs but also running costs and the costs required for disposal. This is because the initial construction costs are only the tip of the iceberg when considering the lifetime costs of the facility. In this system 10, management items necessary for LCC management, such as initial construction costs, design costs, taxes, repair and renewal costs, security and cleaning costs, equipment maintenance costs, energy costs, and disposal costs, are all stored in storage means 13. When the characteristics of a newly registered facility, such as the type, name, and size of the facility, are registered in storage means 13, control means 11 extracts existing facilities that are similar to the newly registered facility and presents estimated values ​​inferred from the actual values ​​of each of the management items already registered for the existing facility as the costs necessary for LCC management of the new facility. This makes it possible to consider optimizing the costs over the life of a new facility.

[0077] <Equipment ledger function> BIM is software that can display the structure of facility blueprints and the like in 3D. This system 10 works in conjunction with BIM, allowing the control means 11 to extract the 3D data stored in the BIM and register it in the storage means 13 for database management. For example, the area of ​​each room in a facility can be extracted from the BIM data according to the room's intended use, and in the case of toilets, the total area of ​​the toilets in the entire facility can be tallied and cleaning costs can be estimated based on that total area.
