Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods struggle to evaluate and optimize the productivity of individual staff members within an organization, as work tasks vary significantly, making it difficult to accurately assess and improve overall organizational productivity.

Innovation Solution

A processing method that collects operation logs from staff terminals, extracts feature amounts, and calculates a proficiency level for each staff member based on time required and error rates, using weighting factors to account for work difficulty.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If work evaluation is performed for the entire organization, then workflow optimization is achieved, but individual staff productivity cannot be improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual staff productivityVSAvoidevaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the organization-wide evaluation into individual staff evaluations by collecting and analyzing operation logs from each staff member's terminal separately, extracting feature amounts for each individual, and calculating proficiency levels on a per-staff basis, thereby enabling individual productivity improvement while maintaining organizational workflow optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces operation logs as an intermediary medium that objectively records and reflects each staff member's work behavior, terminal operations, and work patterns, serving as a bridge between individual work activities and proficiency evaluation without requiring complex direct observation or subjective assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If operation logs are collected from all staff terminals, then individual proficiency measurement becomes possible, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproficiency measurement precisionVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary feature amounts from the collected operation logs that are relevant to proficiency evaluation, such as work completion time, error rates, and operation patterns, rather than processing all raw log data, thereby reducing data processing complexity while maintaining measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw operation log data into standardized feature amounts with specific parameters (work time, error rate, operation frequency) that can be systematically analyzed and compared across different staff members and work types, simplifying the processing complexity through parameter standardization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If weighting is applied to increase proficiency level accuracy, then evaluation accuracy improves, but calculation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproficiency evaluation accuracyVSAvoidcalculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different weighting factors to different feature amounts based on their local importance to proficiency evaluation, such as assigning higher weights to error rates for quality-critical work or to work time for efficiency-critical tasks, thereby improving evaluation accuracy through localized optimization rather than uniform processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A processing device (10) includes: a collection unit (131) that collects operation logs of terminals used by a plurality of staffs who perform work; a proficiency element extraction unit (132) that extracts a feature amount for each staff from the operation log collected by the collection unit (131); and a proficiency level calculation unit (134) that calculates a proficiency level of work for each staff from the feature amount extracted for each staff by the proficiency element extraction unit (132). The proficiency level calculation unit (134) calculates the proficiency level by performing weighting that increases as the time required for work increases or weighting that increases as an error rate increases on the basis of work performed by the staff when the operation log is collected.
