[0004] In the steel industry, coil centers process multiple products from a single base material.

In the first row of the cost unit price information data table T6 shown in Fig. 7, the unit price "200" is stored in association with the product CD (code) "IT001".

[0025] Returning to FIG. 1, the description of the configuration of the cost accounting device 100 will continue. The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the cost accounting 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 operations based on these stored programs. The control unit 102 includes a registration unit 102a, a processing input unit 102b, an allocation standard setting processing unit 102c, a cost calculation processing unit 102d, and a display control unit 102e.

[0026] The registration unit 102a performs a product master process to register a product master 106a in accordance with the content input by the user via the input device 112. Furthermore, the registration unit 102a performs a material area unit price master process to register a material area unit price master 106b in accordance with the content input by the user via the input device 112. Furthermore, the registration unit 102a performs a material processing unit price master process to register a material processing unit price master 106c in accordance with the content input by the user via the input device 112.

[0027] The processing input unit 102b performs processing input processing according to the content input by the user via the input device 112. Specifically, the processing input unit 102b performs processing input processing to store processing information including the processing and paying out information 106d (see, for example, the processing and paying out information data table T4 in FIG. 4 described above) and the processing and receiving information 106e (see, for example, the processing and receiving information data table T5 in FIG. 5 described above) input by the user via the input device 112 in the storage unit 106.

[0028] The allocation standard setting processing unit 102c performs allocation standard setting processing to generate allocation standard information in which allocation standards are associated with each product, and manufacturing expense information in which the total value of the planned amount of use for each product is associated with the material cost as the manufacturing expense amount, based on the product master 106a, at least one of the material area unit cost master 106b and the material processing unit unit cost master 106c, and processing information including the processing delivery information 106d and the processing receipt information 106e.

[0029] The cost calculation processing unit 102d performs cost calculation processing to calculate the cost unit price information for each product by dividing the allocation amount for each product based on the total allocation base value obtained by adding up the manufacturing expense amount, the allocation base for each product, and the allocation base for each product by the number of each product.

[0030] The display control unit 102e outputs to the monitor 114 the cost unit price information calculated by the cost calculation processing unit 102d.

[0031] 2. Overview of the process executed by the cost accounting device 100 Next, a description will be given of the processing executed by the cost accounting device 100. Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing an outline of the processing executed by the cost accounting device 100.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 8, first, the registration unit 102a performs a product master process to register the product master 106a in accordance with the content input by the user via the input device 112 (step S1).

[0033] Next, the registration unit 102a performs a material area unit price master process to register the material area unit price master 106b in accordance with the content input by the user via the input device 112 (step S2).

[0034] Thereafter, the registration unit 102a performs a material processing unit unit price master process to register the material processing unit unit price master 106c in accordance with the content input by the user via the input device 112 (step S3).

[0035] Next, the processing input unit 102b performs processing input processing of the processing information including the processing and sending information 106d and the processing and receiving information 106e input by the user via the input device 112 (step S4). Details of the processing and input processing processing will be described later.

[0036] Thereafter, the allocation standard setting processing unit 102c performs allocation standard setting processing to generate allocation standard information in which allocation standards are associated with each product, and manufacturing expense information in which the total value of the planned amount of use for each product is associated with the material cost as the manufacturing expense amount, based on the product master 106a, at least one of the material area unit cost master 106b and the material processing unit unit cost master 106c, and processing information including the processing delivery information 106d and the processing receipt information 106e (step S5). Details of the allocation standard setting processing will be described later.

[0037] Next, the cost accounting processing unit 102d performs cost accounting processing to calculate unit cost information in which the unit cost for each product is associated with each product, the unit cost being calculated by dividing the allocation amount for each product based on the manufacturing expense amount, the allocation standard for each product, and the total allocation standard value obtained by adding up the allocation standard for each product by the number of products (step S6). In this case, the display control unit 102e may display the unit cost information calculated by the cost accounting processing unit 102d on the monitor 114. Details of the cost accounting processing will be described later. After step S6, the cost accounting device 100 ends this processing.

[0038] 3. Details of the process executed by the cost accounting device 100 Next, we will explain the details of the processing executed by the cost accounting device 100. Materials include materials used in area units, such as coatings, and materials used in processing units, such as skids. Therefore, we will first explain the details of the processing for calculating the unit cost information of materials used in area units, such as coatings, and then explain the details of the processing for calculating the unit cost information of materials used in processing units, such as skids.

[0039] [3-1. Materials used per area] First, the details of the process for calculating the unit cost information of the material used per area unit, for example, the coating, will be described. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing the details of the process executed by the cost accounting device 100.

[0040] 9, first, the registration unit 102a performs a material area unit cost master maintenance process (step S101), such as updating, adding, deleting, and otherwise maintaining the contents of the material area unit cost master 106b (see, for example, the material area unit cost master data table T2 in FIG. 3) and the product master 106a (see the product master data table T1 in FIG. 2), in accordance with the contents input by the user via the input device 112. For example, the registration unit 102a adds new materials to the material area unit cost master 106b, or updates the product master 106a by deleting or modifying the products registered therein.

[0041] Next, the processing input unit 102b performs processing input processing according to the content input by the user via the input device 112 (step S102). Specifically, the processing input unit 102b performs processing input processing to store processing information including the processing and paying out information 106d (see, for example, the processing and paying out information data table T4 in FIG. 4 described above) and the processing and receiving information 106e (see, for example, the processing and receiving information data table T5 in FIG. 5 described above) input by the user via the input device 112 in the storage unit 106.

[0042] Thereafter, the allocation standard setting processing unit 102c performs an allocation standard setting process to set manufacturing expense information in which the manufacturing expense amount is associated with each material expense item and allocation standard information in which the allocation standard is associated with each product, based on the quantity of processing acceptance information processed and input by the processing input unit 102b, the product master 106a, and the material area unit price master 106b (step S103). After step S103, the cost accounting device 100 proceeds to step S104, which will be described later.

[0043] 10 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of the calculation process of the allocation criterion setting processing unit 102c. As shown in the calculation process table T7 shown in FIG. 10, the allocation criterion setting processing unit 102c calculates the area (m 2 The planned amount of use (yen) per unit area (per sheet) is calculated using the following formulas (1) and (2). Area (m 2 / sheet) = width (mm) ÷ 1000 × length (mm) ÷ 1000 (1) Planned amount to be used (yen) = number of units x area x unit price (2) For example, as shown in the second row of the calculation process table T7, the allocation standard setting processing unit 102c calculates the area (m 2 / sheet) becomes "2" (2=1000÷1000×2000÷1000), and the planned amount to be used becomes "2000" (10×2× 1 00).

[0044] In this way, the allocation standard setting processing unit 102c determines the area (m 2The allocation criterion setting processing unit 102c generates manufacturing expense information in which the total of the planned usage amounts for each product is used as the manufacturing expense amount for material costs, and also generates allocation criterion information in which the planned usage amount for each product is used as the allocation criterion for each product.

[0045] Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a manufacturing information data table related to manufacturing information. In the first row of the manufacturing expense information data table T8 shown in Fig. 11, the expense item "material cost" is associated with the manufacturing expense amount "18,000" and stored.

[0046] 12 is a diagram showing an example of an allocation criterion information data table relating to allocation criterion information. In the second row of the allocation criterion information data table T9 shown in Fig. 12, the product CD "IT002" is stored in association with the allocation criterion "6,000".

[0047] Returning to FIG. 9, the description of step S104 and subsequent steps will be continued. In step S104, the cost accounting processing unit 102d performs cost accounting processing to generate unit cost information in which the materials used in processing are cost-accounted as direct material costs. After step S104, the cost accounting device 100 proceeds to step S105, which will be described later.

[0048] Fig. 13 is a diagram showing a model of the calculation process of the cost calculation processing unit 102d. As shown in a calculation process table T10 in Fig. 13, the cost calculation processing unit 102d calculates the allocation amount and the unit cost price by the following formulas (3) and (4). Allocation amount = manufacturing cost amount × allocation base ÷ total allocation base (3) Cost unit price = Allocated amount ÷ Quantity (4) For example, 18,000 x 6,000 ÷ 18,000 = 6,000 6,000÷30=200

[0049] In this way, the cost calculation processing unit 102d can generate cost unit price information (see cost unit price information data table T6 in Figure 7) that sets the allocation standard and manufacturing expense amount, which are indirect costs, based on the processing input information and the unit price information of the protective coating.

[0050] In step S105, the display control unit 102e outputs the cost information calculated by the cost accounting processing unit 102d to the monitor 114. This allows the user to understand the cost information taking materials into account. After step S105, the cost accounting device 100 ends this process.

[0051] [3-2. Materials used in processing units] Next, a process for calculating unit cost information of materials used in a processing unit, such as a skid, will be described in detail. Fig. 14 is a flowchart showing the details of the process executed by the cost accounting device 100.

[0052] 14, first, the registration unit 102a performs a material processing unit unit price master maintenance process (step S201) to perform maintenance such as updating, adding, and deleting the contents of the material processing unit unit price master 106c (see, for example, the material processing unit unit price master data table T3 in FIG. 4) and the product master 106a (see the product master data table T1 in FIG. 2) in accordance with the contents entered by the user via the input device 112. For example, the registration unit 102a adds new materials to the material processing unit unit price master 106c, or updates the product master 106a by deleting or modifying the products registered therein.

[0053] Next, the processing input unit 102b performs processing input processing in accordance with the content input by the user via the input device 112 (step S202). Specifically, the processing input unit 102b performs processing input processing to store processing information including the processing and sending out information 106d (see, for example, the processing and sending out information data table T11 in FIG. 15) and the processing and receiving information 106e (see, for example, the processing and receiving information data table T12 in FIG. 16) input by the user via the input device 112 in the storage unit 106. Note that the processing and receiving information data table T12 in FIG. 16 further stores the number of materials associated with each product in addition to the content of the processing and receiving information data table T5 in FIG. 6 described above.

[0054] Thereafter, the allocation standard setting processing unit 102c performs an allocation standard setting process to set manufacturing expense information in which the manufacturing expense amount is associated with each material expense item and allocation standard information in which the allocation standard is associated with each product, based on the material quantity of the processing acceptance information for which the processing input unit 102b has performed the processing input processing, the product master 106a, and the material processing unit unit price master 106c (step S203). After step S203, the cost accounting device 100 proceeds to step S204, which will be described later.

[0055] 17 is a diagram showing another calculation process of the allocation criterion setting processing unit 102c. As shown in the calculation process table T13 shown in FIG. 17, the allocation criterion setting processing unit 102c calculates the planned use amount by the following formula (5). Planned amount to be used (yen) = Number of materials x Unit price / Number (5) For example, as shown in the first row of the calculation process table T13, the allocation standard setting processing unit 102c calculates the planned usage amount as "100" (1 x 100).

[0056] In this way, the allocation standard setting processing unit 102c calculates the planned amount of use (yen) for each product based on the number of materials for each product and the unit price of each material. Then, the allocation standard setting processing unit 102c generates manufacturing expense information in which the total of the planned amounts of use for each product is the manufacturing expense amount for material costs, and also generates allocation standard information in which the planned amount of use for each product is the allocation standard for each product.

[0057] Fig. 18 is a diagram showing another example of a manufacturing information data table related to manufacturing information. In the first row of the manufacturing expense information data table T14 shown in Fig. 18, the expense item "material cost B" is stored in association with the manufacturing expense amount "550".

[0058] Fig. 19 is a diagram showing an example of an allocation criterion information data table relating to allocation criterion information. In the first row of the allocation criterion information data table T15 shown in Fig. 12, the product CD "IT001" is stored in association with the allocation criterion "100".

[0059] Returning to FIG. 14, the description of step S204 and subsequent steps will be continued. In step S204, the cost accounting processing unit 102d performs cost accounting processing to generate unit cost information in which the materials used in processing are cost-accounted as direct material costs. After step S204, the cost accounting device 100 proceeds to step S205, which will be described later.

[0060] FIG. 20 is a diagram schematically illustrating another calculation process of the cost calculation processing unit 102d. As shown in the calculation process table T16 of FIG. 21, the cost calculation processing unit 102d calculates the allocation amount and the unit cost price using the above-mentioned formulas (3) and (4). For example, as shown in the first row of the calculation process table T16, the cost calculation processing unit 102d calculates the allocation amount as 100 (550 × 100 ÷ 550 = 100). Furthermore, as shown in the first row of the unit cost information data table T17 of FIG. 22, the cost calculation processing unit 102d calculates a unit cost price of "10" for the product CD "IT001" (allocation amount ÷ quantity = 100 ÷ 10 = 10).

[0061] In this way, the cost calculation processing unit 102d can generate cost unit price information (see, for example, cost unit price information data table T17 in Figure 21) that sets the allocation criteria and manufacturing expense amount, which are indirect costs, based on the processing input information and unit price information for material processing.

[0062] In step S205, the display control unit 102e outputs the cost information calculated by the cost accounting processing unit 102d to the monitor 114. This allows the user to understand the cost information that takes into account material processing (e.g., skids, etc.). After step S205, the cost accounting device 100 ends this process.

[0063] According to the embodiment described above, the cost accounting processing unit 102d can generate unit cost information (see unit cost information data table T6 in FIG. 7) that sets the allocation standard and manufacturing overhead amount, which are indirect costs, based on the processing input information and the unit price information of the protective coating. Therefore, materials used during processing at the coil center, such as the protective coating, can be recorded as direct material costs.

[0064] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, the cost calculation processing unit 102d can generate cost unit price information (see, for example, cost unit price information data table T17 in FIG. 21) that sets the allocation standard and manufacturing overhead amount, which are indirect costs, based on the processing input information and the unit price information of material processing, so that materials used during processing at the coil center, such as skids, can be recorded as direct material costs.

[0065] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, the display control unit 102e outputs the cost information calculated by the cost calculation processing unit 102d to the monitor 114, so that the user can grasp the cost information taking into account material processing (e.g., protective coatings, skids, etc.).

[0066] [4. 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 the achievement of SDGs Goals 8 and 9.

[0067] 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.

[0068] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, which can contribute to the achievement of Goal 16 of the SDGs.
