Patent Application
20220172150
The present specification discloses a components management system.
Conventionally, a management system that manages an article such as components used in production by a production device has been proposed (refer to Patent Literature 1, for example). The management system selects an article moving from a starting point to a destination point as a delivery target to be delivered from the destination point to the delivery point and create a delivery plan, and when the article arrives at the destination point, the management system outputs an instruction to deliver the article to the delivery point based on the delivery plan. In addition, the management system distinguishes and manages a newly purchased general-purpose article and a deposited article that is inspected after use by inspection processing, and, in a case where the deposited article is a movement classification that indicates the deposited article is moving from the storage location to the delivery point such as a production line, the inspection processing of the deposited article can be performed by changing the value of the deposit use flag.
Incidentally, there would be a case where a product produced by a production device using a supplied article, which is a component supplied from a customer, is shipped to the customer. In this case, since the produced product is an asset of a company that owns a production device, the management system needs to manage the supplied article as an asset. However, since a production plan may be changed for the convenience of the customer, depending on the timing of appropriating asset, there may be a problem such as an increase in asset inventory due to stay for a long period of time of the supplied article on the asset.
The present disclosure is directed to a main object of performing an asset management of the supplied article more appropriately when producing using a supplied article supplied from a customer.
The present disclosure has taken following means to achieve the main object described above.
A gist of a components management system of the present disclosure is that the components management system, which manages components used in production of a product by a production device, includes: a reception section configured to, in a case where a supplied article supplied from a customer of the product is received as the component, perform reception processing of registering information on a storage location at which the supplied article is stored for each handling unit in association with component information; and a supplied article appropriating section configured to appropriate a price of the supplied article as an asset at a predetermined timing after the supplied article is unloaded from the storage location for use in the production by the production device.
The components management system of the present disclosure performs, when the supplied article supplied from a customer is received, reception processing in which component information is registered in association with information of the storage location stored for each handling unit for the supplied article. In addition, a price of the supplied article is appropriated as an asset at a predetermined timing after the supplied article is unloaded from the storage location for use in production. As a result, since a price of the supplied article can be appropriated as an asset after the supplied article is used in production while appropriately managing the information of the storage location of the supplied article, it is possible to suppress the supplied article from staying for a long period of time on the asset. In addition, in a case where the supplied article returns to the customer without being unloaded from the storage location for the convenience of the customer or the like, since it is before the supplied article is appropriated as an asset, efforts for correcting the information of the asset can be omitted. Accordingly, in a case where the supplied article is used for production, the asset management of the supplied article can be performed more appropriately.
Next, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The following is a description of the operation of components management system 18 configured in this manner.
As described above, the purchased article is appropriated as an asset at a timing when it is received in warehouse 12, and the supplied article is appropriated as an asset at a timing when it is unloaded from housing device 30 of warehouse 12. Accordingly, for example, as illustrated in
Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration elements of the present embodiment and the configuration elements of the present disclosure will be clarified. Components management system 18 of the present embodiment corresponds to the components management system of the present disclosure, CPU 21 of integration management device 20 that performs S100 to S120 (reception processing) of the reel reception processing in
In components management system 18 described above, when the supplied article supplied from a customer is received, the component information is registered in inventory information 23 in associated with the information of the storage location of reel R that accommodates the supplied article. In addition, a price of the supplied article is appropriated in asset information 24 at a timing when reel R is unloaded from a storage location such as housing device 30. Accordingly, even in a case where the supplied article stays in warehouse 12 for a long period of time due to the production convenience of the customer or the like, it is possible to prevent the supplied article from staying for a long period of time on the asset and suppress an increase in asset inventory. In addition, even in a case where the supplied article is returned to the customer without being used due to the production convenience of the customer or the like, it is possible to save efforts for correcting asset information 24.
In addition, since a price of the supplied article is appropriated in unit of reel R in components management system 18, it is possible to appropriate the price by simple processing. In addition, in components management system 18, when the purchased article purchased from shop 90 or the like is received, a price of the purchased article is appropriated in asset information 24 in unit of reel R at a timing when the purchased article is registered in inventory information 23. Here, since the production plan is rarely changed or returned by external factors unlike supplied articles, it is desirable that the purchased article is appropriated as an asset at a timing of reception. Accordingly, components management system 18 can appropriate assets at an appropriate timing corresponding to each of the purchased article and the supplied article.
The present disclosure is not limited in any way to the embodiment described above, and it is needless to say that the embodiment may be implemented in various aspects as long as it falls within a technical scope of the present disclosure.
For example, in the above embodiment, a supplied article is appropriated as an asset at a timing when reel R is unloaded from the storage location such as housing device 30, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the supplied article may be appropriated as an asset at a timing after reel R is unloaded from the storage location in order to be used in production. In addition, if the supplied article is appropriated as an asset at such timing, a appropriation timing of the purchased article need not be limited to a reception timing of the purchased article.

In the above embodiment and modification examples, the following four timings are exemplified as the appropriation timings for appropriating the supplied article as an asset. That is, the following four timings are exemplified: a first timing at which reel R is unloaded from housing device 30, a second timing at which reel R is assembled to feeder F, a third timing at which reel R is started to be used in production by mounting device 45, and a fourth timing at which the production in which reel R is used is terminated. In components management system 18, any of these four timings may be set in advance, or may be set by the timing selected by a user.
In the above embodiment, the components management system 18 is configured by the integration management device 20 and the production management device 60, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the components management system 18 may be configured by only the integration management device 20. In addition, although integration management device 20 is described as performing the appropriation of the supplied article, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and production management device 60 may perform the appropriation of the supplied article. For example, when the supplied article is appropriated at any of the second to fourth timings described above, production management device 60 may perform the appropriation. In addition, in such a case, asset information 24 is not limited to that stored in memory section 22 of integration management device 20, and may be stored in a data server or the like that can be accessed by both integration management device 20 and production management device 60. In addition, integration management device 20 and production management device 60 are not limited to being separate management devices, and may be a single management device. The management device of inventory information 23 and the management device of asset information 24 may be configured as separate management devices.
In the above embodiment, appropriating the purchased article and the supplied article as assets is performed in unit of reel R, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and may be performed in unit of component P. The supplied article is not limited to component P supplied from reel R, but may be component P supplied by being placed on a tray or the like.
Here, the components management system of the present disclosure may be configured as follows. In the components management system of the present disclosure, the predetermined timing is either the timing when the supplied article is unloaded from the storage location or the timing when the supplied article unloaded from the storage location is prepared to be used in production by the production device, and the supplied article appropriating section may appropriate a price of the supplied article for each handling unit. At either timing, since the supplied article is more likely to be used in production than at a timing of reception and the supplied article appropriated as an asset is less likely to stay, the asset management can be performed more appropriately. In addition, a price of the supplied article can be appropriated for each handling unit by a simple processing.
In the components management system of the present disclosure, the predetermined timing is a timing when the supplied article unloaded from the storage location is started to be used in production by the production device or a timing when the production is terminated, and the supplied article appropriating section may appropriate a price of the supplied article for each handling unit. As a result, the asset management can be performed more appropriately by surely preventing stay of the supplied article appropriated as an asset. In addition, a price of the supplied article can be appropriated for each handling unit by a simple processing.
In the components management system of the present disclosure, the predetermined timing is a timing at which the supplied article unloaded from the storage location is used in production by the production device to terminate the production, and the supplied article appropriating section may count the number of uses of the supplied article used in production by the production device, and may appropriate a price of the supplied article for the counted number of uses as an asset. As a result, since the number of uses of the supplied article and the number of supplied articles appropriated as assets can be matched with each other, the asset management can be performed more appropriately.
The components management system of the present disclosure may include a setting section that sets a timing selected by a user among multiple timings after the supplied article is unloaded from the storage location, to the predetermined timing. Accordingly, since the asset appropriation of the component can be performed appropriately at a predetermined timing selected by a user, the asset management can be performed more appropriately. Here, multiple timings may be at least two of a first timing at which the supplied article is unloaded from the storage location, a second timing at which the supplied article is prepared to be used in production by the production device, a third timing at which the supplied article is started to be used in production by the production device, and a fourth timing at which the supplied article is used in production by the production device and the production is terminated.
In the components management system of the present disclosure, the reception section configured to, in a case where the purchased article purchased from a seller is received as the component, perform the reception processing on the purchased article, and the components management system may further includes a purchased article appropriating section configured to appropriate a price of the purchased article as an asset for each handling unit at a timing when the reception processing is performed on the purchased article. As a result, it is possible to be appropriated as an asset at an appropriate timing corresponding to each of the purchased article and the supplied article.
The present disclosure can be applied to a production industry or the like that produces a product using a component.
