DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to scheduling of workers and materials in construction work and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Construction of buildings, roads, bridges, construction of houses,
In construction work such as remodeling and repair, it is necessary to dispatch appropriate personnel to the work site at an appropriate timing. In this kind of work, the person in charge of the process management determines the work process for each order received item, allocates the necessary personnel for each process based on the past work results, drafts a work plan, and manages the progress of the work Was.

[0003] Large construction sites require a large number of different personnel and large amounts of material, and such management methods have been appropriate.

However, the construction, remodeling,
At small work sites where repairs are performed, one worker
It is not uncommon for work to be completed in less than a day. Therefore, if the individual work sites are managed independently, the work schedules of the workers are overlapped at a plurality of work sites, an empty schedule of the workers occurs, and the work efficiency of the entire workers is wasted. Further, in order to receive an order for such a small-scale work and manage the construction, a large number of process managers are required, and enormous labor costs are required. For this reason, there has been a limit in performing construction and management such as construction and remodeling at low cost in general private houses.

[0005] Further, in the past, such materials used in small-scale work sites have often been purchased by workers themselves at retail stores such as home centers each time.
For this reason, conventionally, an intermediate margin from a material maker to a home center and a retail store, and storage costs at the retail store have been generated. As a result, there was a limit to price reduction, and it was often impossible to purchase materials at high prices and reduce material costs.

Further, since the amount of materials purchased at each work site is small, there is no price bargaining power with respect to retail stores and the like. For this reason, material costs at small work sites tend to be high.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art. An object of the present invention is to provide a work schedule management function in which a plurality of small-scale work sites are put together and work is efficiently assigned to workers.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of a scheduling subsystem 2 illustrated in FIG. 1.

The architectural retail system is a system for receiving orders for small-scale transactions in building, for example, repairing or remodeling a house, installing or replacing house appliances, and managing the construction. <System Configuration> FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a building retail system according to the present embodiment. This construction retail system includes a sales subsystem 1 for receiving an order from a customer through a plurality of routes (called a hybrid channel), a scheduling subsystem 2 for creating a work process from the order, and a work process (corresponding to a construction schedule). ), A human resource bank subsystem 4 that manages information on human resources in the construction labor market, an accounting subsystem that manages accounting information of the building retail system, and a building subsystem. The system includes a material procurement subsystem 9 for managing the procurement of various materials and a logistics subsystem for managing the delivery of materials to the work site. [Hybrid Channel] In the architectural retail system, a plurality of routes for receiving orders from customers are called hybrid channels. This hybrid channel includes Internet homepages, direct mail by ordinary mail or e-mail, Internet services by telephone and mobile phone (for example, NTT Corporation).
DOCOMO's i-mode service), facsimile, and touch-panel ordering terminals installed in convenience stores. [Sales Subsystem 1] FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing of the sales subsystem 1. The customer accesses this sales subsystem via a hybrid channel, for example, the Internet (S1).

Then, the type, price, finished image (photograph), and the like of the product (construction work, for example, cross construction) provided by the building retail system are presented to the customer (S2). The customer repeats selection of the product (S3), confirmation of the price (S4), reconsideration (S5), display of other products (S2), and finally makes an order and settlement (S6), and completes the construction schedule. The request is presented (S7).

In response to this, the architectural retail system executes the securing of workers, management of material procurement and delivery, and accounting management. [Scheduling Subsystem 2] FIG. 3 shows a data flow in the scheduling subsystem 2.
The scheduling subsystem 2 converts work orders received by the sales subsystem 1 into work scheduling data 6.
Tally.

Each record of the work scheduling data 6 includes a customer identifier (name and identification number), a type of work (for example, a cross work, a fitting work, etc.), a work time zone,
It consists of the level of the worker and the necessary materials.

The work scheduling data 6 is tabulated for each work area (for example, Hikarigaoka area) within a range where the worker can move within a predetermined travel time (for example, within one hour). The scheduling subsystem 2 treats this work area as one work site. Hereinafter, such a work site is referred to as a virtual work site.

That is, in this virtual work site, the same work on the same day, for example, cross-pasting, is assigned to different movable time zones. And
Have the same worker sequentially work around the work area as if it were a single work site. As a result, for a task that is completed in less than one day, one worker works at a plurality of actual work sites (corresponding to actual work sites) in one day. Further, at this time, the assignment is performed based on the time efficiency such as the length of the waiting time of the worker in the virtual work site.

The scheduling subsystem 2
Collects materials required at a plurality of work sites in the work area, and causes the material procurement subsystem 9 to place an order. Thus, the virtual work site is treated as one work site in the architectural retail system.

This work scheduling data 6 is recorded in the database subsystem shown in FIG. 1 for each virtual work site.

The work scheduling data 6
Is read out to the matching subsystem 4 and assigned to an operator.

[0029] The customer can check the finalized work schedule at any time via the Internet. [Matching Subsystem 3] The matching subsystem 3 reads out the work scheduling data 6 created by the scheduling subsystem 2, and assigns workers.

This assignment is performed based on the personnel bank data 7 managed by the personnel data bank subsystem 4. This allocation is based on time efficiency, such as the length of waiting time of a worker in the virtual work site.

Based on this assignment, personal schedule data 8 is created for each worker. For example, May 6
From 10:00 to 12:00, house A is used, and from 14:00, house B is used. The worker works at each site according to the personal schedule data 8. [Personal Work Scheduling Data] FIG. 4 shows the structure of personal work scheduling data. This individual work scheduling data is recorded for each worker according to the assignment of the matching subsystem 3. Further, the matching subsystem 3 refers to the individual work scheduling data, confirms the free time of each worker, and allocates work.

As shown in FIG. 4, the personal work scheduling data includes the name No. And the area in charge (eg Nerima Ward)
, Date, work site (for example, House A), work type (for example, cross, ceiling, etc.), and work time zone.

The assigned area is a geographical area including a plurality of work districts, which are virtual work sites described in the work scheduling data 6. Each worker is assigned a work within the area of the assigned area. However, the work allocated to one day is limited to the range of one work district that can be moved within a predetermined travel time. [Material Procurement Subsystem 9] FIG. 5 shows a data flow of the material procurement subsystem 9. As shown in FIG. 5, the scheduling subsystem 2 reads out the work scheduling data 6 for each virtual work site (in FIG. 5, Hikarigaoka district becomes the virtual work site). Then, the scheduling subsystem 2 instructs the material procurement subsystem 9 to place an order for the readout material together with the invoice 10 to the actual work site (corresponding to the actual work site) included in the virtual work site.

The material procurement subsystem 9 orders the specified materials collectively for each supplier. For example, in the Hikarigaoka district, which is a virtual work site, in the work on May 6, cross-stitching work is scheduled for House A, House B, and House E.

For this reason, the material procurement subsystem 9
The deadline until June 6 and the delivery locations for House A, House B and House E are specified, and a cloth is ordered from Company z.

Similarly, glass is ordered from Company Y to Company Y as a delivery destination. In addition, one set of doors is ordered to company X with the house D as the delivery destination.

The ordered materials are sorted by their respective material manufacturers toward their respective destinations, and are delivered to the nearest transportation company distribution base.

The materials carried into each delivery base are delivered to the transportation company delivery base in the Hikarigaoka district, which is a virtual work site, through the transportation company's distribution network. Each material is delivered to the work site of the delivery destination. <Hardware Configuration> FIG. 6 is a hardware configuration diagram of the server 11 that supports the operation of the building retail system according to the present embodiment. The server 11 includes a CPU 12 that executes a program and a memory 1 that stores the program executed by the CPU 12 and data processed by the CPU 12.

The CPU 12 executes a program stored in the memory 13 and provides a function as the server 11.

The memory 13 stores programs executed by the CPU 12 and data processed by the CPU 12.

The hard disk 14 records programs executed by the CPU 12 and data processed by the CPU 12.

The communication interface 15 is connected to the CPU 12
In response to the instruction, a network (not shown) is accessed to communicate with a terminal on the network, for example, a personal computer at the customer's home.

The CRT 16 displays the data input by the operator and the result of processing the data.

The keyboard 17 is used by an operator to input character information.

The pointing device 18 is a mouse,
It is a trackball, a joystick, a touch panel, or the like. The pointing device 18 is a CRT
16 are used to operate menus and buttons displayed on the screen. <Operation and Effect> FIGS. 7 and 8 show a processing procedure of the scheduling subsystem 2 executed by the CPU 12.
The CPU 12 executes these processes and provides a function as the work scheduling subsystem 2.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the work scheduling data totaling process at the virtual work site. In this process, the CPU 12 first reads the order data held by the sales subsystem 1 (S21).

Next, within the range of the construction schedule requested by the customer in the order data, the CPU 12 determines a time zone in which the same work type is not present or a small number of scheduled work (low-density time zone) in the work scheduling data 6. (S22).

Next, the CPU 12 sets the scheduled work time zone to the above time zone, and outputs the order data to the work scheduling data 6 (S23).

Next, the CPU 12 determines whether there is any unprocessed order data (order data remaining) (S24).
If there is any remaining order data, the CPU 12 executes the control at S21.
Return to On the other hand, if there is no order data calculation, the CPU 12
Terminates the work scheduling data totaling process of the virtual work site.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the scheduling process. In this process, the CPU 12 first reads the work scheduling data 6 of the virtual work site from the work scheduling data 6 (S3).
1).

Next, the CPU 12 inquires of the matching subsystem and assigns an operator for each operation (S32).

Next, the CPU 12 counts the necessary materials at the virtual work site, and instructs the material procurement subsystem 9 to procure (S33).

Next, the CPU 12 determines whether or not there is an unassigned virtual work site (S34). When there is a remaining virtual work site, the control is returned to the process of S31.

If there is no unassigned virtual work site, the matching subsystem 3 ends.

As described above, in this architectural retail system, a plurality of work sites are collectively managed in one area where the work can be moved within a predetermined travel time, so that the same or similar work is duplicated in the same time zone. And the probability that one worker can perform the work completed in less than one day at a plurality of work sites can be increased.

Further, in this building retail system, materials at a plurality of work sites are totaled and ordered to a material maker, so that the price negotiation power can be improved by increasing the order quantity.

Further, in this building retail system, a work site to be delivered is designated for each material maker and the work is directly delivered via a transportation company. Therefore, an intermediate margin of a retailer or the like is eliminated, and the cost is reduced. be able to.

Further, in this building retail system, a work site to be delivered to each material maker is specified, and the building is directly delivered via a transportation company, so that the material storage cost can be reduced. <Modification> In the above embodiment, when the scheduling subsystem 2 totals the work scheduling data 6 from the order data of the sales subsystem 1, the work schedule data is the same within the range of the work schedule requested by the customer. The work of the work type was searched for a blank or low-density time zone, and the actual scheduled work time zone was determined. However, instead of this, the scheduling subsystem 2 may inquire the matching subsystem 3 to assign workers who can work within a work schedule desired by the customer. In that case, the same virtual work site,
For example, priority is given to those who are planning to work in Hikarigaoka district,
After moving time from the scheduled completion time of the worker,
What is necessary is just to set the scheduled work time zone.

The travel time may be determined uniformly at each virtual work site (for example, the travel time is uniformly set to one hour in Hikarigaoka district), or the travel time between actual work sites in the virtual work site. May be determined individually and recorded in the database system.

As described above, by giving priority to a worker who already has a work schedule, setting a next work schedule with a moving time after the scheduled work completion time of the worker, one worker can be set. It is possible to patrol the actual work site of the same virtual work site and successively perform the work of the same work type. Therefore, the work efficiency of the worker can be improved.

In the above embodiment, the virtual work site is defined as a work area where the worker can move within a predetermined moving time. The virtual work site may be enlarged or reduced depending on the order status of work and the density of workers. For example, during a time when there are few orders, the travel time may be lengthened and the virtual work site may be expanded.

Therefore, for example, the scheduling data 6 shown in FIG. 3 may be created in a different table for each day, and the travel time may be recorded in the table. When allocating one worker to a plurality of work sites, it is only necessary to refer to the travel time recorded in the table corresponding to the work day and to assign a work time zone.

In the above embodiment, the virtual work site is defined as a work area where the worker can move within a predetermined moving time. However, instead of this, for example, an area that can be delivered at a delivery fee within a predetermined range from a delivery base of a transportation company may be used as the virtual work site.

[0064]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A plurality of small-scale work sites can be put together to efficiently assign work to workers.

Further, according to the present invention, the procurement of materials at a plurality of work sites can be managed in an integrated manner, and the necessary materials can be delivered to each work site while reducing the material procurement cost by the integrated purchase amount. .
