The entered information is stored in memory. The contractor terminal 30 is connected to the Internet 9 via a gateway device (not shown) such as a router. The building contractor application transmits the building contractor information and construction-related information stored in the memory through the Internet 9 . The transmitted building firm information and construction-related information are directly or indirectly received by the branch management server 11, which will be described later. The branch management server 11 registers the received building contractor information and construction-related information in the building contractor management database (FIG. 3A) and the construction amount management database (FIG. 5). Details will be described later.

A CAD network 20 comprises a CAD server 21 and a plurality of CAD terminals 22 . The CAD terminal 22 is, for example, a personal computer. The CAD server 21 and the plurality of CAD terminals 22 are connected so as to be able to communicate with each other via a LAN cable or a wireless LAN such as Wi-Fi. The designer uses the CAD terminal 22 to design the house. Design information generated by designing the mansion is transmitted to the CAD server 21 . The CAD server 21 registers the acquired design information in the design database.

The design information includes information for calculating the amount of foundation work, such as the length of the foundation. The design information also includes information for calculating the amount of construction work, such as the number of pillars and beams and the total floor area of the house. The design information also includes information for calculating the amount of interior construction work, such as the area of walls and the total floor area of the mansion. The design information also includes information for calculating the amount of finishing work, such as the total floor area of the mansion.

The CAD server 21 is connected to the Internet 9 via a gateway device (not shown). The CAD server 21 transmits design information through the Internet 9 upon request. The transmitted design information is directly or indirectly acquired by the branch management server 11, which will be described later. The branch management server 11 updates the residence management database (FIG. 4) based on the acquired design information. Details will be described later.

A branch network 10 includes a branch management server 11 and a plurality of branch terminals 12 . The branch terminal 12 is a personal computer, tablet, or the like. The branch management server 11 and the plurality of branch terminals 12 are connected to communicate with each other via a LAN cable or a wireless LAN such as Wi-Fi. The branch management server 11 and the branch terminal 12 will be described in detail below.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the branch management server 11 has a server CPU 51 as a central processing unit, a server memory 52 , a communication bus 53 , a first communication interface 54 and a second communication interface 55 . In FIG. 2, "interface" is abbreviated as "I/F". The branch management server 11 is an example of the management server of the present invention. The server CPU 51 is an example of the server computer of the present invention.

The first communication interface 54 is an interface that is wired or wirelessly connected to the branch terminal 12 via a LAN cable or wireless LAN. The second communication interface 55 is an interface connected to the Internet 9 via a gateway device (not shown).

The communication bus 53 connects the server CPU 51 , the server memory 52 , the first communication interface 54 and the second communication interface 55 . That is, the server CPU 51 can read information and data from the server memory 52 through the communication bus 53 , store information and data in the server memory 52 , and can read information and data through the first communication interface 54 and the second communication interface 55 . Information and data can be sent and received.

The server memory 52 stores a server OS 57, which is an operation system, a server program 58, a construction firm management database, a construction capability value table, a mansion management database, and a construction amount management database.

The server program 58 performs a process of collecting contractor information and construction-related information from each contractor terminal 30 through the second communication interface 55 . More specifically, the branch management server 11 is a web server that publishes its URL on the Internet 9 . The contractor application of the contractor terminal 30 transmits an HTTP request including the contractor information and construction-related information to the URL. The server program 58 acquires the building firm information and construction-related information included in the received HTTP request. Note that the branch management server 11 may not be a web server. In that case, an intermediate server is installed to collect the contractor information and construction-related information from the contractor terminals 30 . The intermediate server is a web server. The contractor application of the contractor terminal 30 transmits an HTTP request including the contractor information and construction-related information to the URL that the intermediate server publishes on the Internet 9, and uploads the contractor information and construction-related information to the intermediate server. do. The server program 58 transmits an HTTP request requesting a return of construction firm information and construction-related information to the URL, and receives the HTTP response returned by the intermediate server. The server program 58 acquires the building firm information and construction-related information contained in the received HTTP response.

The server program 58 also performs processing for collecting design information from the CAD server 21 through the second communication interface 55 . Processing for collecting design information by the server program 58 will be described later.

The server program 58 performs processing for updating the building contractor management database, construction capability value table, construction volume management database, and mansion management database based on the collected building contractor information, construction-related information, and design information. The construction firm management database, construction capability value table, construction volume management database, and mansion management database will be described in detail below.

The construction firm management database shown in FIG. 3A is a database in which basic information of each construction firm is registered. The construction firm management database has a plurality of columns (columns) and a plurality of records (rows). The columns are the items "builder name", "builder ID", "craftsman name", "craftsman ID", "foundation", "construction", "interior", "finish", "labor cost", "foundation construction ability Item names such as "value", "building construction capacity value", "interior construction capacity value", and "finishing construction capacity value" are attached. In addition, in FIG. 3(A), illustration of "construction", "finishing", "interior construction capacity value", and "finishing construction capacity value" is omitted.

The item "builder name" indicates the name of the partnering contractor, etc. (worker). The item "builder ID" indicates identification information for individually identifying each developer. The item "name of craftsman" indicates the name of a craftsman who belongs to a construction company or the like. The item "craftsman ID" indicates identification information for individually identifying each craftsman.

Each column with the items "foundation", "construction", "interior" and "finish" has two sub-columns (rows) respectively. Two sub-columns are provided with sub-items "skill flag" and "betting rate", respectively. "ON" or "OFF" is registered in the sub-column field to which the sub-item "skill flag" is added. "ON" indicates that the craftsman has foundation/building/interior/finishing skills, and "OFF" indicates that the craftsman does not have foundation/building/interior/finishing skills. In each field of the sub-column to which the sub-item "benefit rate" is attached, a numerical value indicating the betting rate is registered. For example, with a betting rate of "1" as a reference, a betting rate of a craftsman with excellent skills is set to be "1.15" or "1.20", which is larger than "1". To explain in detail, for example, in the case of foundation construction, the standard length of the foundation to be constructed is "A" meters per day, and the length of the foundation that can be constructed by the craftsman in one day is "B" meters. If there is, the wage rate for the craftsman will be B/A. Alternatively, in the case of interiors, the standard is that the interior area to be constructed is "C" square meters per day, and if the interior area that can be constructed by a craftsman in a day is "D" square meters, the workman's work The ratio is D/C. That is, the rate is a numerical value obtained by standardizing the working efficiency of craftsmen using a reference value.

The item "wage" indicates the cost required per unit time of the craftsman. The item "foundation construction capacity" indicates the upper limit (maximum value) of the foundation construction capacity of the building contractor. The same applies to the "building construction capacity value", the "interior construction capacity value", and the "finishing construction capacity value". For example, the maximum value of the length of the foundation and the total floor area that the contractor can construct per unit time is It is registered in the field of the column labeled "Ability Value". The unit time is one hour, one day, or the like.

In the construction company management database, a record is generated for each construction company. Each record is individually identified by a contractor ID.

Each record has multiple sub-records. Sub-records include a craftsman record generated for each craftsman, and a total record in which totals, averages, and construction ability values are registered. For example, the total number of craftsmen (total number) is registered in the field of the sub-column to which the sub-item "skill flag" of the item "basic" is added. Each subrecord is individually identified by a craftsman name and craftsman ID. A specific ID such as "AAA000" or "BBB000" is assigned to the total record to identify it as a craftsman record.

Registration update processing of the building firm management database by the server program 58 will be described. The server program 58 acquires the contractor information including the contractor ID, craftsman name, craftsman ID, foundation, erection, interior decoration, finishing, wages, etc. from the contractor terminal 30 through the Internet 9 . The construction firm information and construction-related information may be directly input to the branch management server 11 by the operator. In other words, the management system 100 does not have to include the contractor terminal 30 .

The server program 58 identifies a record having a building contractor ID that matches the building contractor ID included in the acquired building contractor information as a record to be updated. In addition, the server program 58 identifies a sub-record having a craftsman ID that matches the craftsman ID included in the acquired building firm information as a sub-record to be updated. Then, the server program 58 updates the numerical values and the like of each field of the sub-record specified as the update target with the numerical values and the like included in the building firm information. Note that when the building contractor information includes a newly registered craftsman name or craftsman ID, the server program 58 generates a new subrecord in the record identified as an update target, and updates the numerical values, etc., contained in the building contractor information. sign up.

Next, the server program 58 updates the total record, which is a sub-record of the record specified as the update target. For example, the server program 58 calculates the number of "ON" skill flags, and registers the calculated value in the sub-column field to which the sub-item "skill flag" of the item "basic" is attached. Then, the server program 58 calculates the maximum construction capacity value of the construction contractor based on the registered construction contractor information and the calculated value, and stores the calculated maximum value in the items “basic construction capacity value” and “construction It is registered in the field of the column attached with "Interior work capacity value", "Interior work capacity value", and "Finishing work capacity value". In the example shown in FIG. 3A, "300" is registered as the basic construction capacity value of the construction company with the construction company ID "AAA". Note that the basic construction ability value, the "building construction ability value", the "interior construction ability value", and the "finishing construction ability value" may also be calculated for each craftsman and registered for each craftsman.

The construction company management database shown in FIG. 3(A) is an example, and the construction company management database may have items other than those shown in FIG. 3(A). It is not necessary to have some of the items shown in (A).

The construction capacity value table shown in FIG. 3B is a table in which each construction type of "foundation", "construction", "interior", and "finishing" is associated with construction capacity values. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3B, the construction capacity value table indicates that the construction capacity value of "foundation" at the branch is "8000".

The server program 58 adds the construction capacity values registered in the construction firm management database for each construction type of "foundation", "construction", "interior", and "finishing". The value is registered in the construction capacity value table as the construction capacity value of the branch office.

The mansion management database shown in FIG. 4 is a database for managing the construction process of a mansion. The residence management database has multiple columns (columns) and multiple records (rows). The column has the items "mansion ID", "customer name", "contract date", "contract property number", "foundation", "construction", "interior", and "finish".

The item “mansion ID” indicates a mansion ID that is identification information for individually identifying a mansion. The item "customer name" indicates the name of the customer who requested the construction of the mansion identified by the mansion ID. The item "contract date" indicates the date when the contract for construction of the mansion was made. The item "contract item number" indicates identification information for individually identifying a contract.

The item "Foundation" indicates foundation work. The column with the item "basic" has a plurality of first sub-columns with the first sub-items "first item", "second item" and so on. The first sub-items "first detail" and "second detail" indicate subdivided works in the foundation work. The first sub-item “first item” indicates, for example, installation work of formwork including bar arrangement. The first sub-item "Second Item" indicates, for example, the pouring of foundations.

The column to which the first sub-item "first detail" is attached contains a plurality of second It has subcolumns. In the field of the second sub-column to which the second sub-item “construction start date” is added, the scheduled start date of the construction indicated by the first detail is registered. In the field of the second sub-column to which the second sub-item “construction end date” is added, the scheduled completion date of the construction indicated by the first detail is registered. In the field of the second sub-column to which the second sub-item "construction amount" is added, the construction amount of the construction indicated by the first item is registered. If the first detail is the installation work of the formwork, the work amount is a numerical value corresponding to, for example, the length of the foundation. In the field of the second sub-column to which the second sub-item “standard construction period” is attached, the standard construction period of the construction indicated by the first item is registered. The standard construction period is, for example, the period required for a predetermined number of craftsmen with a rate of "1.00" to complete the construction. For example, in the construction of a foundation, if the construction capacity value for one day (8 hours) of a craftsman with a wage rate of "1.00" is "15" and the prescribed number of workers is "3", the construction amount is "135". The standard construction period for foundation construction for meters is 3 days. In addition, the unit of the construction capacity value in the case of the foundation is, for example, "m/man-day". Similarly, in interior construction, if the daily (8 hours) construction ability value of a craftsman with a hanging rate of “1.00” is “15” and the prescribed number of people is “3”, the construction amount “ The standard construction period for interior construction of 135 square meters is 3 days. In addition, the unit of the construction capability value in the case of interior decoration is, for example, "m·m/man·day". The same applies to construction and finishing. However, the unit of construction capability value is not limited to these.

Similarly, the column to which the first sub-item "Second item" is attached has multiple has a second sub-column of In the fields of the second sub-column with the second sub-items "construction start date", "construction end date", "construction amount", and "standard construction period", the scheduled construction start date and construction completion date The scheduled date, construction amount, and standard construction period are registered.

The item "construction" indicates construction work. The column to which the item "construction" is attached has a plurality of first sub-columns to which the first sub-items "first item", "second item", etc. are attached. In FIG. 4, illustration of the first sub-item "Second detail" of the item "Finishing" is omitted. The first sub-items "first detail" and "second detail" indicate subdivided construction work in construction work. The sub-item "first detail" indicates, for example, the installation work of a pillar. The sub-item “Second item” indicates, for example, beam installation work.

The columns with the first sub-items "1st detail" and "2nd detail" of the item "construction" are the second sub-items "construction start date", "construction end date", "construction amount", " It has a plurality of second sub-columns with "standard construction period" attached. In the fields of the second sub-column with the second sub-items "construction start date", "construction end date", "construction amount", and "standard construction period", the scheduled construction start date and construction completion date The scheduled date, construction amount, and standard construction period are registered.

The item "interior" indicates interior construction. The column with the item "interior" has a plurality of first sub-columns with first sub-items "first item", "second item" and so on. In FIG. 4, illustration of the first sub-item "second item" of the item "interior" is omitted. The first sub-items "first item" and "second item" indicate subdivided work in the interior work. The first sub-item "first detail" indicates, for example, installation work for floors and ceilings. The first sub-item "Second Item" indicates, for example, wall installation work.

In the fields of the second sub-column with the second sub-items "construction start date", "construction end date", "construction amount", and "standard construction period", the scheduled construction start date and construction completion date The scheduled date, construction amount, and standard construction period are registered.

In the residence management database, a record is generated for each residence. Each record is individually identified by a residence ID and a contract property number.

Registration update processing of the residence management database by the server program 58 will be described. The operator (person in charge of the branch office) enters the customer name and the like into the branch terminal 12 when concluding a construction contract with the customer. The branch terminal 12 transmits contract information including the customer name and the like to the branch management server 11 . The server program 58 creates a new record in the residence management database based on the receipt of the contract information, and registers today's date as the contract date in the created record. In addition, the server program 58 generates the contract property No. and registers the generated contract property No. and the customer name in the generated record.

A branch that signed a contract with a customer requests the design department to design a mansion. The design request is made by the branch management server 11, for example. The design department uses the CAD terminal 22 to design the house. Design information generated by the CAD terminal 22 is collected by the CAD server 21 . The CAD server 21 adds a house ID to the collected design information and registers it in the design database. Also, in association with the mansion ID, the contract property number notified from the branch office is associated and registered. Note that the contract property number may be used as the residence ID.

The server program 58 of the branch management server 11 acquires the design information, the residence ID, and the contract property number through the Internet 9 . For example, if the CAD server 21 is a web server that publishes its URL on the Internet 9 , the server program 58 transmits a request to the CAD server 21 via the Internet 9 requesting a return of design information. Then, the server program 58 receives the response returned by the CAD server 21, and acquires the design information, residence ID, and contract property number included in the received response.

The server program 58 identifies records in the mansion management database that have a contract property number that matches the obtained contract property number. Next, the server program 58 acquires the first detail and the second detail based on the house ID, foundation length, number of pillars and beams, wall area, total floor area, etc. included in the acquired design information. Calculate the amount of work for each item such as items. The server program 58 also calculates a standard construction period based on the calculated construction amount. The server program 58 registers the calculated work amount and standard work period in each field of the specified record. The unit of the amount of construction work is, for example, the required number of man-hours.

The amount of construction work and the standard construction period may be calculated by the CAD server 21 and registered in the design database. In this case, the server program 58 of the branch management server 11 registers the construction amount and standard construction period included in the response obtained from the CAD server 21 in the residence management database.

After the design of the house is completed, the operator (the person in charge of the branch office) confirms the busy/busy information displayed on the display 67 (FIG. 2) of the branch terminal 12, listens to the customer's opinion, and determines the process. The process determined by the branch terminal 12 is sent to the branch management server 11 . The server program 58 of the branch management server 11 registers the acquired process in the residence management database. In the mansion management database shown in FIG. 4, the mansion (record) identified by the mansion ID "A101" indicates the state after registration of the process (construction start date and construction end date). The identified house (record) indicates the state before registration of the process (construction start date and construction end date).

When the process is registered in the mansion management database, a request (order) for construction of the mansion is sent from the branch office to the construction firm. Upon receiving the request, the contractor inputs construction-related information including the names and numbers of craftsmen engaged in the construction in charge to the contractor terminal 30 . The construction company terminal 30 transmits an HTTP request including the input construction-related information to the branch management server 11 through the Internet 9 .

The construction amount management database shown in FIG. 5 is a database for managing the total amount of construction work at a branch office by date and by type of construction.

The construction amount management database has a plurality of columns (columns) and a plurality of records (rows). The columns are provided with the items "date", "builder's name", "foundation", "construction", "interior", and "finish".

The item "Date" has three sub-columns labeled with the sub-items "Year", "Month" and "Day". In the sub-column with the sub-item "Year", for example, the numerical value of the Christian era is registered, and in the sub-column with the sub-item "Month", the numerical value such as "11" indicating the month such as November is registered. , a numerical value such as "20" indicating a day such as the 20th is registered in the sub-column to which the sub-item "day" is added.

The item "builder name" indicates the name of the partnering developer. The item "Foundation" indicates foundation work. The item "construction" indicates construction work. The item "interior" indicates interior construction. The item "finishing" indicates finishing work.

In the construction volume management database, multiple records are generated for each date. The plurality of records includes a construction company record generated for each construction company, etc., and a total record in which the total amount of construction work is registered.

Registration processing of the work amount management database by the server program 58 will be described. The server program 58 generates a plurality of new records in which numerical values indicating dates are registered in fields of columns to which the item "date" is attached. Specifically, the server program 58 generates the same number of engineering firm records as the engineering firm registered in the engineering firm management database, and a total record. The server program 58 registers the name of the contractor registered in the contractor management database in the field of each generated contractor record in the column to which the item "name of the contractor" is attached. "Contractor A" registered in the construction amount management database shown in FIG.

The server program 58 registers the amount of construction work calculated based on the mansion management database in each field of the construction firm record. More specifically, as described above, the planned construction start date and the planned construction end date are registered in the mansion management database for each type of construction work. The server program 58 identifies, in the mansion management database, records, mansions, types of work, and amounts of work whose dates of newly generated records are included in the period indicated by the scheduled construction start date and the scheduled work end date. In addition, the server program 58 identifies the name of the construction firm that is in charge of the specified type of construction at the specified mansion from the order history or the like. The server program 58 accumulates the construction amount of the identified construction type, and registers the accumulated value in the field of the record on the construction amount management database that has the same construction company name as the identified construction company name. If the amount of construction work is not managed for each construction firm, the server program 58 may register only the total amount of construction work for each type of construction calculated from the mansion management database in the construction amount management database.

Next, the server program 58 calculates the total construction amount by adding the construction amount of each construction company record. The server program 58 registers the calculated total amount of construction work in the total record field.

As shown in FIG. 8, the terminal program 68 accepts the input of the contract item number on the process chart creation screen (S12). The terminal program 68 transmits a request including request information requesting a return of the received contract property number and the amount of work to the branch management server 11 through the communication interface 64 (S13). The information requested by the request information includes the construction volume and standard construction period of the mansion indicated by the contract property number (Fig. 4), the construction capacity value of the branch office (Fig. 3 (B)), and the total construction volume after the current date (Fig. 5). The contracted object No. is an example of the specific information of the present invention, and the process of step S12 for receiving the input of the contracted object No. which is the specific information is an example of the first receiving process of the present invention. In addition to the contracted property number, the specific information may be any information that can identify the mansion, such as a customer name, a customer ID, or a mansion ID.

The server program 58 of the branch management server 11 receives the request including the contract property number and request information through the first communication interface 54 (S13). The server program 58 identifies in the mansion management database (FIG. 4) a record having a contract property number that matches the received contract property number. The server program 58 acquires the amount of work and the standard construction period for the "foundation", "construction", "interior", and "finishing" registered in the specified record (S14). The server program 58 also acquires the total amount of construction work after the current (today's) date from the construction amount management database. The server program 58 also acquires the construction capacity value of the branch office from the construction capacity value table (FIG. 3(B)). The server program 58 returns a response including the acquired construction amount, standard construction period, total construction amount, and construction capacity value to the branch terminal 12 through the first communication interface 54 (S15).

The terminal program 68 of the branch terminal 12 receives the response sent by the branch management server 11 through the communication interface 64 (S15). The terminal program 68 updates the process chart creation screen using the current (today's) date and the received response (S16). Specifically, the terminal program 68 starts construction for each of "foundation", "construction", "interior", and "finishing" based on today's date and the standard construction period included in the received response. Determine the date and construction completion date. For example, the terminal program 68 determines the foundation construction start date to be two weeks from today's date, and based on the determined foundation construction start date and the standard construction period, Determine the construction start date and construction end date, interior construction start date and work end date, finishing work start date and work end date. The terminal program 68 determines the construction start date and construction end date for each of the “foundation”, “construction”, “interior”, and “finish” based on today’s date and the standard construction period. It is an example of "the process of acquiring the initial construction start date" of the present invention. The determined construction start date is an example of an initial construction start date. The construction process indicated by the determined construction start date and construction end date is an example of the initial process of the present invention.

Next, the terminal program 68, based on the construction capacity value and the total amount of construction work of the branch office included in the response, performs Calculate the busy/busy value. Specifically, the terminal program 68 divides the total amount of construction work for each construction type for each date by the construction capacity value for each construction type, and multiplies the result by 100 to calculate a value (%) as the peak/busy value. That is, the busy/slack value is the ratio (in percentage) of the total amount of construction work to the construction capacity value. A busy/busy value exceeding 100% indicates that construction work exceeding the normal construction capacity value of the branch is scheduled. The terminal program 68 generates the busy/slack object 101 and the like for each date based on the calculated busy/slack value. The terminal program 68 displays the determined construction start date and construction end date, the reference construction period (number of construction days) included in the received response, and the generated busy/busy object 101 and the like on the process chart creation screen. The process of step S15 in which the terminal program 68 receives a response including the amount of work and the standard construction period is an example of the first acquisition process of the present invention. This is an example of residence information.

The terminal program 68 waits until an icon such as the "automatic adjustment of busy/busy" icon 83 is selected on the process chart creation screen. The operator refers to the displayed busy/busy object 101 and the like, and determines whether or not the construction of the mansion in the displayed process is appropriate. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the operator confirms that the period during which the busy/slack object 123 displayed with a busy/slack value of 110% or more overlaps with the interior construction period bar 143 indicating the construction period of the interior construction, and , based on the fact that the period during which the busy/slack object 133 displayed with a busy/slack value of 110% or more overlaps with the finishing work period bar 144 indicating the construction period of the finishing work, Judging that the construction of the mansion is not appropriate. When the operator judges that the construction of the mansion in the displayed process is not appropriate, he uses the input device 66 to select the "automatic adjustment of busy/busy period" icon 83 .

As shown in FIG. 8, the terminal program 68 of the branch terminal 12 accepts the selection of the "automatic adjustment of busy/busy days" icon 83 (S17), and displays the input screen (FIG. 7) on the display 67 (S18). The process of step S18 in which the terminal program 68 causes the display 67 to display the input screen is an example of the second display process of the present invention.

The input screen shown in FIG. 7 is, for example, a pop-up screen superimposed on the process chart creation screen. However, the input screen may be displayed on the display 67 instead of the process chart creation screen. The input screen includes text boxes 161 and 162 for accepting input of a desired start date for foundation work, text boxes 163 and 164 for accepting input for a desired start date for erection work, and an interior It has text boxes 165 and 166 for receiving input of a desired construction start date range for construction work, and text boxes 167 and 168 for receiving input of a desired construction start date range for finishing work. The input screen also has a “return” icon 171 and an “execute” icon 172 . The "return" icon 171 is an icon for instructing to return to the process chart creation screen. The “execute” icon 172 is an icon for instructing to confirm the input with the date input in the text box 161 or the like.

Note that the input screen may have a context box including a calendar control or a pull-down menu from which a date can be selected instead of the text box 161 or the like. The text box 161 or the like or context box is an example of the text box of the present invention, and the pull-down menu is an example of the menu of the present invention.

The operator inputs a range of desired construction start dates based on the object 101 and the like and the opinion of the customer and taking into account the situation of the branch to which the operator belongs. For example, an operator may choose a type of construction work that the branch office has low construction ability for reasons such as a small number of affiliated contractors among "foundation", "construction", "interior", and "finishing" at the branch office to which the operator belongs. , and enter the desired construction start date range for the selected construction type. In the example shown in FIG. 7, a desired date range from "21/01/11" to "21/02/15" is input for the interior work, and for the finishing work, a desired date range from "21/03/01" to "21/21" is entered. /04/15" is entered.

After inputting the desired construction start date range, the operator selects the “execute” icon 172 using the input device 66 .

Note that the terminal program 68 may display an error screen as a pop-up if the input desired date range includes dates earlier than the displayed shortest construction start date. For example, when a desired date range from "21/01/08" to "21/02/15" is entered for interior work, the terminal program 68 pops up an error screen.

As shown in FIG. 8, the terminal program 68 of the branch terminal 12 accepts the input of the desired date range of the construction start date and the desired date range based on the selection of the "execute" icon 172. The construction type is obtained (S19). The process of step S19 in which the terminal program 68 acquires the desired construction start date range and the type of construction work is an example of the second acquisition process of the present invention.

The terminal program 68 selects a candidate date for generating update data for updating the process (construction start date and construction end date) on the process chart creation screen based on the acquired work type and desired construction start date range. Screen data generation processing is executed (S20).

The candidate date selection screen data generation process will be described with reference to FIG. First, the terminal program 68 identifies the first construction type (S31). For example, the terminal program 68 identifies "foundation" as the first construction type. Next, the terminal program 68 determines whether or not a desired construction start date range has been entered for the specified first construction type (S32). When the terminal program 68 determines that the range of the desired construction start date has not been input (S32: No), the terminal program 68 identifies the next construction type (S33). For example, the terminal program 68 identifies "construction" as the construction type following "foundation". Then, the terminal program 68 determines whether or not a desired construction start date range has been entered for the specified next construction type (S32).

When the terminal program 68 determines that the desired construction start date range has been input (S32: Yes), the first date of the input desired date range (input in the text box 165 in the example shown in FIG. 7) date) is stored in the terminal memory 62 (S34).

Next, the terminal program 68, based on the standard construction period included in the response received in step S15, determines the construction end date when the date stored in the terminal memory 62 is used as the construction start date for the identified construction type. Specify (S35).

The terminal program 68 performs the same operation as described above based on the construction capacity value included in the response received in step S15 and the total amount of construction work for the construction type during the period from the identified construction start date to the construction end date. , the busy/slack value for each day is calculated, and the average value of the calculated busy/slack values for each day is calculated (S36). That is, the busy/slack value calculated in step S36 is the busy/slack value of the construction type specified in step S31 or S33.

The terminal program 68 determines whether or not the calculated busy/busy value is less than a threshold value stored in advance in the terminal memory 62 (S37). The threshold is, for example, 120(%). When the terminal program 68 determines that the calculated fluctuating value is less than the threshold value (S37: Yes), the "date" stored in the terminal memory 62 in step S34, the construction type specified in step S31 or S33, and the fluctuating values are associated with each other and stored in the terminal memory 62 (S38). On the other hand, when the terminal program 68 determines that the calculated peak/slack value is equal to or greater than the threshold (S37: No), it skips the process of step S38. That is, the busy/busy value less than the threshold value (120%) is stored in the terminal memory 62 in association with the date.

In addition to determining whether or not the average value of the peak/slack values for the specified construction type is less than the threshold, it may be determined whether the peak/slack value for each day is also less than the threshold. In other words, even if the average value of the peak/slack value for the type of work is less than the threshold, if there is a day when the peak/slack value is greater than or equal to the threshold, it is excluded from the candidates.

Alternatively, in step S36, the busy/slack value is calculated for each season, and in addition to determining whether or not the average value of the busy/slack values for the specified construction type is less than the threshold, the busy/slack value for each season is also less than the threshold. It may be determined whether In other words, even if the average value of the peak/slack values for the construction type is less than the threshold, if the seasonal peak/slack value is equal to or greater than the threshold, it is excluded from the candidates.

The terminal program 68 executes the process of step S39 after executing the process of step S38 or when the calculated busy/slack value is equal to or greater than the threshold (S37: No). Specifically, the terminal program 68 confirms that the date stored in the terminal memory 62 matches the last date of the range of desired construction start dates (in the example shown in FIG. 7, the date entered in the text box 166). It is determined whether or not to do so (S39). When the terminal program 68 determines that the date stored in the terminal memory 62 does not match the final date (S39: No), it changes the date stored in the terminal memory 62 to the next day (S40), and step S35. Execute the following process again. By repeatedly executing the processing from steps S35 to S40, the peak/slack value is calculated for each construction start date within the range of desired construction start dates. It is stored in the terminal memory 62 in association with the start date. The processing of steps S34 to S40 for calculating and acquiring the busy/slack value for each construction start date within the desired construction start date is an example of the busy/slack value acquisition processing of the present invention.

When the terminal program 68 determines that the date stored in the terminal memory 62 coincides with the last day of the range of desired construction start dates (S39: Yes), the terminal program 68 determines that the busy/busy values stored in the terminal memory 62 are 5 4 peak/slack values are specified, and 5 "dates" associated with the specified peak/slack values are specified (S41). The terminal program 68 causes the terminal memory 62 to store the identified busy/busy value and date. The five "dates" identified in step S41 are examples of specific dates in the present invention. Step S41 is an example of the specifying process of the present invention.

Next, the terminal program 68 determines whether or not the construction type specified in step S31 or S33 is the last construction type (S42). For example, the terminal program 68 determines whether or not the type of work specified in step S31 or S33 is "finishing work". When the terminal program 68 determines that the construction type identified in step S31 or S33 is not the last construction type (S42: No), the terminal program 68 identifies the next construction type (S33), and executes the processes from step S32 onwards again. That is, five "dates" and "fluctuation values" are specified for each type of construction for which the operator has entered a range of desired construction start dates on the input screen (FIG. 7).

When the terminal program 68 determines that the construction type identified in step S33 is the last construction type (S42: Yes), the terminal program 68 uses the five identified "dates", "fluctuation value" and "construction type" to select candidates. Candidate date selection screen data showing the date selection screen (FIG. 10A) is generated (S43). Specifically, the terminal program 68 generates candidate date selection screen data by entering five "dates" and "peak/busy values" in specific input fields of the basic screen data stored in advance in the terminal memory 62. do.

After executing the process of step S43 (return), the terminal program 68 inputs the generated date candidate selection screen data to the display 67 as shown in FIG. 8, and displays the candidate date selection screen (FIG. 10(A)). It is displayed on the display 67 (S21). The candidate date selection screen shown in FIG. 10A is, for example, a pop-up screen. The process of step S21 is an example of the third display process of the present invention.

The candidate date selection screen has a candidate date selection table 180 , an “update” icon 181 , an “execute” icon 182 , and a “return” icon 183 . The "return" icon 183 is an icon for receiving an instruction to return to the input screen, which is the previous screen.

The candidate date selection table 180 has multiple rows and multiple columns. A plurality of rows has an item row and a construction type row. The item row is a row in which the item names "candidate date 1", "candidate date 2", "candidate date 3", "candidate date 4", and "candidate date 5" are registered. The construction type row indicates each construction type of "foundation", "construction", "interior", and "finishing". Each construction type has a first line indicating a busy/busy value, a second line indicating a construction start date, and a third line displaying check boxes.

The five fluctuation values displayed in the first line of each construction type are the five fluctuation values specified and stored in the terminal memory 62 in step S41 (FIG. 9). The five busy/busy values are displayed in ascending order on the first line. The five dates displayed in the second line of each construction type are the dates stored in the terminal memory 62 in association with the busy/busy values in step S41.

For construction types for which the desired construction start date range has not been entered on the input screen (FIG. 7), the busy/busy value, construction start date, and check box are not displayed.

The operator selects one check box on the candidate date selection screen, and then selects the “update” icon 181 . For example, the operator selects (checks) the check box of the lowest busy/busy value. Alternatively, the operator selects the check box of the earliest construction start date. Alternatively, the operator selects the check box of the candidate date with the best balance between the peak/busy value and the construction start date.

The terminal program 68 determines whether the "update" icon 181 or the "execute" icon 182 is selected on the candidate date selection screen (S22). When the terminal program 68 determines that the "update" icon 181 has been selected (S22: "update" icon), the terminal program 68 executes process confirmation processing (S23). Specifically, the terminal program 68 identifies the type of construction work and the start date of construction work corresponding to the selected check box, and identifies a process (provisional process) based on the identified type of construction work and the start date of construction work. The terminal program 68 identifies the construction start date of each construction type in the identified provisional process. The identified construction start date indicates the earliest construction start date for each type of construction. In other words, it is not possible to start the construction work of each construction type on a date earlier than the construction start date of each construction type specified by the terminal program 68 . The terminal program 68 disables selection of check boxes of candidates that the operator cannot select on the candidate date selection screen (FIG. 10A) (S21). For example, terminal program 68 hides the check boxes of candidates that are not selectable by the operator, or grays out candidates that are not selectable by the operator.

For example, if the operator selects a check box with a busy/busy value of "80%" for "interior" and the construction period for "interior" is 48 days, the earliest construction start date for "finishing" is "21 In 48 days from "/01/21", it becomes "21/03/10". Then, of the five candidate dates for "finishing" displayed on the candidate date selection screen (FIG. 10A), "candidate date 2" and "candidate day 2" whose construction start date is before "21/03/10" Day 5" is grayed out as shown in FIG. 10(B). Alternatively, the check boxes for "candidate date 2" and "candidate date 5" are hidden. The earliest construction start date may be calculated with "48 days" as the actual number of days, or the earliest construction start date may be calculated with "48 days" as the actual number of business days excluding holidays. .

For example, if there are no selectable candidate dates for "finishing" or if the operator determines that the construction period for the mansion will be too long, the operator changes the candidate dates to be selected for "interior" and selects the "update" icon again. .

Note that the candidate date selection screen ( FIG. 10A ) does not have to have the “update” icon 181 . In that case, the terminal program 68 executes the above-described process confirmation processing based on the check box being checked. That is, when the check box is checked, among the check boxes for other construction types, the check boxes for candidate dates that cannot be selected by the operator are hidden or grayed out.

The operator selects the check box of one of the candidate dates for “finishing” that is normally displayed instead of being grayed out, and then selects the “execute” icon 182 . For example, the operator selects the “execute” icon 182 after selecting the check box for the peak/slack value “90%”.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the terminal program 68 determines that the "execute" icon 182 has been selected in step S22 (S22: "execute" icon), the type of work and the start date of construction whose checkboxes are checked are displayed. Acquire (S24). The process of step S24 is an example of the second reception process.

The terminal program 68 determines the construction end date of the relevant construction type and the construction start date and end date of other construction types based on the acquired construction type and construction start date (S25). That is, the terminal program 68 determines the steps of the house.

Note that when the operator inputs a range of desired construction start dates for "foundation work" or "construction work" on the input screen shown in FIG. 7, the operator displays a candidate date selection screen shown in FIG. , select the candidate date by checking the check boxes for “foundation” and “construction”, and select the “update” icon 181 . The terminal program 68 determines the tentative process of the construction type checked by the operator in the same manner as described above.

The terminal program 68 updates the process chart creation screen based on the determined process (S26). The process of step S26 for updating the process chart creation screen is an example of the change display process of the present invention, and the updated process chart creation screen is an example of the changed process screen of the present invention.

FIG. 11 shows the updated process chart creation screen. In the updated work schedule creation screen, the interior work period bar 143 indicating the interior work process does not overlap with the interior busy/busy object 123 indicating the busy/busy value of 110% or more, and the finishing work indicating the finishing work process is displayed. The construction period bar 144 does not overlap with the finishing busy/busy object 133 showing a busy/busy value of 110% or more.

When the operator changes the process again, he/she selects the "busy/busy automatic adjustment" icon 83 again. Alternatively, the operator makes fine adjustments such as changing the "number" of craftsmen engaged in the construction work or the "rate". When the operator determines that there is no problem with the changed process or the finely adjusted process, he uses the input device 66 to select the "update" icon 153 on the process chart creation screen (FIG. 11).

When the terminal program 68 receives the selection of the "update" icon 153 (S27), it transmits the process information to the branch management server 11 through the communication interface 64 (S28). The process information includes the construction start date and construction end date for each construction type specified in step S25, and the contract property number (or mansion ID).

The server program 58 of the branch management server 11 receives the process information transmitted by the branch terminal 12 through the first communication interface 54 (S28). The server program 58 identifies a record in the mansion management database that has a contract property number that matches the received contract property number. The server program 58 registers the construction start date and construction end date of each construction type indicated by the process information in the fields of the specified record (S29).

The server program 58 transmits the order information to the building contractor terminal 30 through the second communication interface 55 based on the reception of the order instruction (S30). For example, the order information is transmitted to the building contractor terminal 30 using an HTTP response to the HTTP request that the building contractor terminal 30 periodically transmits to the branch management server 11 . The order information includes, for example, information such as the construction start date, the construction end date, and the length of the foundation for the type of construction that the construction firm is in charge of.

Although not shown in the flow chart, the person in charge of the construction company, etc., decides the craftsmen and number of people who will be engaged in the order based on the order, and submits the construction-related information including the decided items. It is sent to the branch management server 11. The branch management server 11 updates the construction amount management database (FIG. 5) based on the reception of the construction related information.

[Action and effect of the first embodiment]
In this embodiment, the terminal program 68 can show the operator the optimum process in consideration of peak/slack. That is, the terminal program 68 can adequately support the operator's determination of the house process.

In addition, in this embodiment, the terminal program 68 displays a plurality of candidate dates on the candidate date selection screen and allows the operator to select a candidate date. Greater freedom of decision making.

Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of candidates for the construction start date are displayed on the display for the construction type for which the operator has input the desired construction start date range. Therefore, the operator can know a plurality of candidates for the construction start date for the type of construction whose construction period is difficult to set due to the low construction capacity of the branch office.

Further, in this embodiment, the terminal program 68 calculates the busyness value for the type of construction for which the range of the desired construction start date is input, instead of the busyness value for the entire construction of the mansion (S36). The value is displayed on the candidate date selection screen (FIG. 10(A)) (S21). Therefore, the operator can determine the construction period of the mansion by suppressing the busy/busy value for the type of construction whose construction ability is low at the branch office.

Further, in this embodiment, a plurality of candidates are displayed on the display for each construction type. Therefore, the operator can specify a plurality of construction types for which the branch office has a low execution capacity, and can know a plurality of candidate dates for each construction type.

In addition, in this embodiment, from among the candidate dates for one construction type that the operator has checked and specified, among the five candidate dates for other construction types, the candidate dates for which construction cannot be executed are not selectable. The selection screen is updated (S23, S21). Therefore, the operator is prevented from erroneously selecting a candidate date on which construction cannot be performed.

Further, in this embodiment, the terminal program 68 determines a temporary process based on the construction start date of the type of construction input by the operator on the input screen (FIG. 7) (S35), and determines the construction capacity of the branch office in the determined temporary process. And the peak/slack value is calculated based on the construction amount (S36). Then, the terminal program 68 displays the calculated busy/busy value on the candidate date selection screen (FIG. 10(A)). Therefore, it is possible to express the fluctuations of the type of work specified by the operator by numerical values that can be easily compared.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the candidate date selection screen data generation process (FIG. 9), if the busy/busy value is equal to or greater than the threshold value (S37: No), the terminal program 68 skips step S38 and specifies in step S35. Exclude the tentative process from the candidates. Therefore, compared to the case where step S38 is executed regardless of whether the peak/busy value is less than the threshold value, the candidate date selection screen data generation process can be executed faster and the used capacity of the terminal memory 62 can be reduced. .

Also, in this embodiment, the terminal program 68 updates the process chart creation screen with the initial process identified based on the current (today's) date in S16 (FIG. 8). Therefore, compared to the case where the initial process is not displayed, the operator can easily determine whether or not to select the "busy/busy automatic adjustment" icon 83 . In other words, the usability of the terminal program 68 for the operator is improved by displaying the initial process on the process table creation screen.

In addition, in the present embodiment, along with the processes of each construction type, the busy/busy object 101 indicating the busy/busy period for each construction type is displayed on the process chart creation screen. Therefore, compared to the case where the busy/busy object 101 and the like are not displayed, the operator can easily determine whether or not to select the “busy/busy automatic adjustment” icon 83 . That is, by displaying the busy/busy object 101 and the like on the process chart creation screen, the usability of the terminal program 68 for the operator is improved.

In this embodiment, the terminal program 68 instead of the server program 58 performs the calculation of the busy/busy value (S36), the specification of the "date" (S41), and the generation of candidate date selection screen data (S43). In other words, the server program 58 only needs to respond to the request from the terminal program 68 with the amount of work, the standard construction period, the work capacity value, and the total amount of work. Therefore, an existing server program that can return the construction amount, the standard construction period, the construction capacity value, and the total construction amount in response to a request from the terminal program 68 can be used for the management system 100 . If the existing server program does not specify the amount of work, the standard work period, etc., the terminal program 68 may specify the amount of work and the standard work period. In this case, the terminal program 68 requests the branch management server 11 for design information such as the length of the foundation and the total floor area. The terminal program 68 specifies the amount of construction work and the standard construction period based on the design information returned by the branch management server 11 .

[Second embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, an example (FIG. 10A) in which five candidates are displayed for each construction type has been described. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, an example will be described in which five candidates are displayed not for each type of construction, but for the entire process of the residence.

In this embodiment, the configuration and processing other than the configuration and processing described below are the same as the configuration and processing described in the first embodiment. The same reference numerals and step numbers as in the first embodiment are assigned to the same configurations and processes as in the first embodiment, and a part of the explanation is omitted.

The basic screen data (FIG. 2) stored in the terminal memory 62 of the branch terminal 12 replaces the screen data for generating the candidate date selection screen shown in FIG. Stores screen data for generating screens. The candidate date selection screen shown in FIG. 13 will be described later.

The terminal program 68 of the branch terminal 12 executes the processing shown in FIG. 8 as in the first embodiment. In step S20, the terminal program 68 executes the date candidate selection screen data generation process shown in FIG. 12 instead of the date candidate selection screen data generation process shown in FIG. That is, the terminal program 68 generates candidate date selection screen data showing the candidate date selection screen shown in FIG. 13, not candidate date selection screen data showing the candidate date selection screen shown in FIG. 10(A).

As shown in FIG. 12, the terminal program 68 executes steps S31 to S34 as in the first embodiment. That is, the terminal program 68 specifies the type of work for which the operator has entered a desired date range for the start date of the work, and causes the terminal memory 62 to store the first day of the range of desired dates for the specified type of work.

Next, the terminal program 68 specifies the construction start date and construction end date for the other construction types based on the date stored in the terminal memory 62 and the standard construction period for each construction type obtained in step S15. do. That is, the terminal program 68 specifies the process (provisional process) of the house (S51). The terminal program 68 calculates the daily fluctuation value based on the specified provisional process and the construction capacity value and construction amount acquired in step S15, and calculates the average value of the calculated daily fluctuation values as the It is calculated as an overall busy/busy value for the process (S52).

The terminal program 68 determines whether or not the calculated busy/busy value is less than a threshold value stored in advance in the terminal memory 62 (S37). The threshold is, for example, 120(%). When the terminal program 68 determines that the calculated peak/slack value is less than the threshold value (S37: Yes), the terminal program 68 associates the "provisional process" identified in step S51 with the calculated "peak/slack value" and stores them in the terminal memory 62. (S53). On the other hand, when the terminal program 68 determines that the calculated peak/slack value is equal to or greater than the threshold (S37: No), it skips the process of step S53. That is, the busy/busy value less than the threshold value (120%) is stored in the terminal memory 62 in association with the provisional process.

In addition to determining whether or not the busy/slack value for the entire process of the mansion is less than the threshold value, it may be determined whether or not the busy/slack value for each day is also less than the threshold value. In other words, even if the overall peak/slack value is less than the threshold, if there is a day when the peak/slack value is greater than or equal to the threshold, it is excluded from the candidates.

Alternatively, in step S52, the busy/slack value is calculated for each season, and in addition to determining whether or not the overall busy/slack value is less than the threshold value, it is determined whether the busy/slack value for each season is also less than the threshold value. may That is, even if the overall busy/busy value in the process of the house is less than the threshold value, if the seasonal busy/busy value is equal to or greater than the threshold value, it is excluded from the candidates.

The terminal program 68 executes the process of step S39 after executing the process of step S53 or when the calculated busy/busy value is equal to or greater than the threshold (S37: No). Specifically, the terminal program 68 determines whether or not the date stored in the terminal memory 62 in step S34 matches the last date of the desired construction start date (S39). When the terminal program 68 determines that the date stored in the terminal memory 62 does not match the final date (S39: No), it changes the date stored in the terminal memory 62 to the next day (S40), and step S51. Execute the following process again. By repeatedly executing the processing from steps S51 to S40, a provisional process is specified for each date in the range of the desired construction start date, and the specified provisional process is stored in the terminal memory 62 in correspondence with the busy/busy value. remembered. The processing of steps S51, S52, and S53 for calculating and acquiring the busy/slack value for each temporary process is an example of the busy/slack value acquisition processing of the present invention.

Next, the terminal program 68 determines whether or not the construction type specified in step S31 or S33 is the last construction type (S54). For example, the terminal program 68 determines whether or not the type of construction specified in step S31 or S33 is the last type of construction (for example, finishing work). When the terminal program 68 determines that the construction type identified in step S31 or S33 is not the last construction type (S54: No), the terminal program 68 identifies the next construction type (S33), and executes the processes from step S32 onwards again.

When the terminal program 68 determines that the construction type identified in step S31 or S33 is the last construction type (S54: Yes), the terminal program 68 identifies five peak-slack values stored in the terminal memory 62 in ascending order of peak-slack values, Five "temporary processes" associated with the specified peak/bust season value are specified (S55). The terminal program 68 causes the terminal memory 62 to store the identified fluctuation value and temporary process. The construction start date of the mansion and the construction start date of each construction type specified by the five "provisional schedules" specified in step S55 are examples of specific dates in the present invention. Step S55 is an example of the specifying process of the present invention.

The terminal program 68 generates candidate date selection screen data showing the candidate date selection screen (FIG. 13) using the specified five "temporary processes" and "fluctuation values" (S56). Specifically, the terminal program 68 inputs the construction start date and construction end date specified by the five provisional processes, and the fluctuation value into specific input fields of the basic screen data stored in advance in the terminal memory 62. By doing so, the candidate date selection screen data is generated.

The candidate date selection screen will be described with reference to FIG. The candidate date selection screen has a candidate date selection table 190 , a “go” icon 192 , and a “return” icon 193 . The "return" icon 193 is an icon for receiving an instruction to return to the input screen, which is the previous screen.

The candidate date selection table 190 has multiple rows and columns. A plurality of columns are an item column indicating the item name of each row such as "start of foundation work", and "candidate date 1", "candidate date 2", "candidate date 3", "candidate date 4", and "candidate date 5". , and five candidate date columns that display the threshold value and the construction start date for each candidate date. A plurality of rows are composed of item rows indicating item names of each column such as “candidate date 1”, “fluctuation value”, “foundation work start”, “foundation work completed”, “construction work start”, “construction Nine lines with item names of "Construction completed", "Interior work started", "Interior work completed", "Finishing work started", and "Finishing work completed", and one line with check boxes and

In the "candidate date 1" column, the lowest peak-slack value among the peak-slack values specified in step S55 and the provisional process (construction start date and construction completion date for each construction type) associated with the peak-slack value is displayed. The column of “candidate date 2” displays the next lowest busy/busy value and the provisional process associated with the busy/busy value. In the column of "candidate day 3", the next lowest busy/busy value and the tentative process associated with the busy/busy value are displayed. In the column of "candidate date 4", the next lowest busy/busy value and the tentative process associated with this busy/busy value are displayed. The column of "candidate day 5" displays the highest peak/slack value and the provisional process associated with the peak/slack value.

The operator selects one candidate from the five candidates based on the displayed busy/busy value and process, checks the check box associated with the selected candidate, and selects the “execute” icon 192 . Alternatively, the operator selects the "back" icon 193 when none of the displayed five candidates are suitable for selection. Although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, when the terminal program 68 determines that the "return" icon 193 has been selected, the process from step S18 onward is executed again. That is, the input screen is displayed on the display 67, and the input of the desired construction start date is accepted again.

When the terminal program 68 determines that the "execute" icon 192 has been selected (S22: "execute" icon), it executes the following process instead of steps S24 and S25 in FIG. That is, the terminal program 68 identifies the candidate processes specified by the check boxes, and executes processing for calculating the busy/busy value for each construction type for the identified processes in the same manner as in the first embodiment. This process is an example of the second reception process of the present invention.

The terminal program 68 updates the work schedule creation screen (FIG. 6) using the calculated busy/busy values for each type of work and the specified provisional process (S26). After executing step S26, the terminal program 68 executes the processes after step S27 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and ends the process (END).

[Action and effect of the second embodiment]
In this embodiment, the terminal program 68 can show the operator the optimum process in consideration of peak/slack. That is, the terminal program 68 can adequately support the operator's determination of the house process.

In addition, in this embodiment, the terminal program 68 displays a plurality of candidate dates on the candidate date selection screen and allows the operator to select a candidate date. Greater freedom of decision making.

Further, in the present embodiment, the terminal program 68 displays the calculated busy/slack value on the candidate date selection screen (FIG. 10). Therefore, it is possible to express the fluctuations by numerical values that can be easily compared.

In the present embodiment, the terminal program 68 skips step S53 in the candidate date selection screen data generation process (FIG. 12) if the busy/busy value is equal to or greater than the threshold, and selects the provisional process specified in step S51 as a candidate. Exclude from Therefore, compared to the case where step S53 is executed regardless of whether the busy/busy value is less than the threshold value, the candidate date selection screen data generation process can be executed faster and the capacity of the terminal memory 62 used can be reduced. .

Also, in this embodiment, the terminal program 68 updates the process chart creation screen with the initial process identified based on the current (today's) date in S16 (FIG. 8). Therefore, compared to the case where the initial process is not displayed, the operator can easily determine whether or not to select the "busy/busy automatic adjustment" icon 83 . In other words, the usability of the terminal program 68 for the operator is improved by displaying the initial process on the process table creation screen.

In addition, in the present embodiment, along with the processes of each construction type, the busy/busy object 101 indicating the busy/busy period for each construction type is displayed on the process chart creation screen. Therefore, compared to the case where the busy/busy object 101 and the like are not displayed, the operator can easily determine whether or not to select the “busy/busy automatic adjustment” icon 83 . That is, by displaying the busy/busy object 101 and the like on the process chart creation screen, the usability of the terminal program 68 for the operator is improved.

In this embodiment, the terminal program 68, instead of the server program 58, performs the calculation of the busy/busy value (S52), the specification of the "provisional process" (S51), and the generation of candidate date selection screen data (S56). . In other words, the server program 58 only needs to respond to the request from the terminal program 68 with the amount of work, the standard construction period, the work capacity value, and the total amount of work. Therefore, the existing server program 58 that can return the construction amount, the standard construction period, the construction capacity value, and the total construction amount in response to a request from the terminal program 68 can be used for the management system 100 . If the existing server program does not specify the amount of work, the standard work period, etc., the terminal program 68 may specify the amount of work and the standard work period. In this case, the terminal program 68 requests the branch management server 11 for design information such as the length of the foundation and the total floor area. The terminal program 68 specifies the amount of construction work and the standard construction period based on the design information returned by the branch management server 11 .

[Modification]
In the first embodiment described above, when a range of desired construction start dates is entered for two or more construction types on the input screen (FIG. 7), the terminal program 68 identifies the optimum date for each construction type. and the optimum date associated with the smallest busy/busy value is adopted as the optimum date for specifying the optimum process. In this modified example, another example of specifying the optimum process when a range of desired construction start dates is input for two or more types of construction will be described.

The terminal program 68, based on the input of the desired construction start date range for one construction type, limits the input of the desired construction start date range for other construction types. For example, in the same manner as described above, the terminal program 68 identifies the optimum date based on the input range of desired construction start dates, and based on the identified optimum date, determines the desired construction start date for other types of construction work. Identifies the possible range of entries for a range of days. For example, when the terminal program 68 determines that a date outside the input range has been entered in the text box 161 or the like, it pops up an error screen. Alternatively, the terminal program 68 displays, for example, the identified input possible range in gray in the text box 161 or the like.

The operator first selects the type of construction work with the lowest work capacity value in the branch office to which the operator belongs, and inputs the desired construction start date range. Next, the operator selects the type of construction work with the next lowest work capacity value in the branch office to which the operator belongs, and inputs the range of desired construction start dates within the above-described inputtable range. The operator then selects the “run” icon 172 .

In this modified example, the operator first inputs a range of desired construction start dates for the construction type with the lowest construction capacity value at the branch to which the operator belongs, and then enters the construction start date for the construction type with the next lowest construction capacity value. Since it is only necessary to input the desired date range, the operator can save the trouble of specifying the type of work to be prioritized. That is, the usability of the terminal program 68 for the operator is improved.

In addition, in this modification, the terminal program 68 can prevent erroneous input of a desired date range for which a process cannot be specified by restricting operator input.

[Other Modifications]
In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, the example in which the process of step S38 or S53 is executed only when the busy/busy value is less than the threshold has been described. However, the process of step S38 may be executed regardless of whether the peak/slack value is less than the threshold.

In the above-described first and second embodiments, an example has been described in which five "dates" (construction start dates) or "provisional schedules" are specified in ascending order of peak/busy values. However, 2 to 4 or 6 or more "dates" or "temporary processes" may be specified in descending order of peak/busy values.

In the first and second embodiments described above, the application program (terminal program 68) used in the branch terminal 12 is newly developed, and the server program 58 is an existing program. However, both the terminal program 68 and the server program 58 may be newly developed. In that case, part of the processing executed by the server program 58 described above may be executed by the terminal program 68 , and part of the processing executed by the terminal program 68 may be executed by the server program 58 . In this case, the terminal program 68 and server program 58 are examples of the program of the present invention, the terminal memory 62 and server memory 52 are examples of the memory of the present invention, and the terminal CPU 61 and server CPU 51 are examples of the computer of the present invention. , and the branch management server 11 and the branch terminal 12 are examples of the information processing apparatus of the present invention.

A central server that supervises the branch management server 11 and the CAD server 21 installed in each branch office may be installed in the head office or the like. The central server collects information from the CAD server 21, the branch management server 11 of each branch, etc., and stores the building contractor management database (FIG. 3A) stored in its own memory, and the construction capacity value )), a residence management database (Fig. 4), and a construction amount management database (Fig. 5). The central server responds to the request from the branch terminal 12 of each branch relayed by the branch management server 11 of each branch. In other words, the central server collectively performs the processes that are executed by the branch management servers 11 of the respective branches. In this case, each branch management server 11 functions as a relay server that relays a request from the branch terminal 12 to the central server. When a central server is used, the branch network 10 and the CAD network 20 of each branch constitute one network managed by the central server.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, an example in which the busy/busy value is the ratio (in percentage) of the total amount of construction work to the construction capacity value has been described. However, the busy/slack value may be specified (defined) in any way as long as it is a numerical value that indicates the busy/slack season. For example, the busy/busy value may be a value obtained by subtracting the total amount of construction work from the construction capability value. The positive busyness value indicates that the construction of the mansion is slack and how much leeway it is, and the negative busyness value indicates that the construction of the mansion is tight and how tight it is. .

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, an example in which the busy/busy object 101 or the like is displayed on the work schedule creation screen as an object indicating a busy/busy period has been described. However, instead of the busy/busy object 101 or the like, or together with the busy/busy object 101 or the like, the busy/slack value may be displayed on the process chart creation screen. The displayed busyness/slackness value is an example of the busyness/slackness object of the present invention.

In the first and second embodiments described above, an example in which the busy/busy object 101 and the like is a bar has been described. However, the busy/busy object 101 and the like may be other than the bar. For example, a face object with a smiling expression is displayed instead of the busy/slack object 101 indicating that the busy/slack value is less than 90%, and instead of the busy/slack object 102 indicating that the busy/slack value is 90% or more and less than 110%. Alternatively, a face object with a normal facial expression may be displayed, and instead of the busy/busy object 103 indicating that the busy/busy value is 110% or more, a face object with a crying expression may be displayed.

In the above-described first and second embodiments, the busy/busy object 101 and the like are displayed on both the process chart creation screen updated in step S16 (FIG. 8) and the process chart creation screen updated in step S21. explained an example of However, the busy/busy object 101 and the like may be displayed only on one of the process chart creation screen updated in step S16 and the process chart creation screen updated in step S21.

In the above-described first and second embodiments, an example was described in which the busy/busy value is calculated using the construction amount that is not added to the construction amount of the mansion displayed on the process chart creation screen in order to determine the process. However, the terminal program 68 may calculate the peak/busy value using the amount of construction added to the amount of construction of the mansion displayed on the process chart creation screen.

In the above-described embodiment, an example was described in which the server program 58 acquires the process from the branch terminal 12 (S28) and registers the process in the residence management database (FIG. 4) (S29). However, the server program 58 may acquire the process from the construction firm terminal 30 and register it in the residence management database. For example, the contractor terminal 30 transmits construction-related information including the process of the ordered construction to the branch management server 11 . The server program 58 of the branch management server 11 registers the process included in the construction-related information transmitted by the construction firm terminal 30 in the residence management database. That is, the registration of the process in the mansion management database may be performed after confirmation of the order received by the building firm or the like.
