The present invention relates to a management device, a management method, and a management program.
Conventionally, WebEOC (registered trademark) has been known as a crisis response system for managing processes dealing with crisis, for example, disasters such as fire, earthquake, and flooding and incidents such as cyberterrorism. For example, development of an integrated risk management system capable of executing information aggregation, consideration, and command between cyberattacks and disaster accidents in real world in a unified manner has been proposed (see Non Patent Literature 1).
WebEOC converts information on disaster response shared by whiteboards, e-mails, telephones, and facsimiles at an emergency operations center (EOC) into Web, aggregates, manages, and shares information among all departments and organizations responsible for disaster response to implement a common operational picture (COP) and supports efficient operations of the emergency operations center.
As a system constructed based on WebEOC, a system for implementing a COP by a Plan screen for presenting processes at headquarters and implementation items in each phase, a Do screen for managing information on the degrees of importance and the progress of non-routine tasks, and a See screen for displaying measures and damage situations in the form of maps and tables in perspective view has been known.
A plurality of organizations deal with crisis and are responsible for different handling tasks. In other words, processes for crisis response are different between processes for persons of field class who deal with crisis at the site and processes for persons of management class who manage situation reports. Each organization determines measures and strategies in accordance with individual processes, and deals with crisis in accordance with the determined measures and strategies.
The process defines what should be done and what should be checked in a phase of a critical event, and corresponds to one or more check items. The check item is indicated as, for example, an action “Share vulnerability information among organizations as needed”.
A crisis response system, which is used by persons in various positions, needs to present a set of processes suited for a corresponding position as a process set. Presenting a set of actions and checks for dealing with crisis as a process set corresponds to “Planning P”, which is a management process for crisis response based on International Standard ISO 22320. In the crisis response system, it is important to flexibly define association among individual check items, processes, and a process set to deal with crisis.
In the conventional technology, however, it is difficult to flexibly deal with crisis. For example, a process and check items are directly associated with each other and managed, and hence the degree of freedom of combination is low, and individual check items need to be managed for each process, which is complicated.
One process set can be treated as a target of “Planning P”, and the state of change in the process set can be managed along only one time axis. Thus, even when there are a plurality of process sets to be executed concurrently, the process sets cannot be managed by switching, and it is difficult to manage the implementation of various kinds of handling to be executed for crisis.
The present invention has been made in view of the above, and it is an object thereof to facilitate management between a process for crisis response and check items corresponding to the process and enable flexible response to crisis.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, a management device according to the present invention includes: a mission pack acquisition unit that acquires a mission pack associated with a set of check items to be implemented during crisis response and association between a process indicating a phase of a critical event and the mission pack; a process set acquisition unit that acquires a process set associated with a set of the processes; and an integration unit that integrates, for each process set, association among the process, the mission pack, and the check items as integrated information.
According to the present invention, the management between a process for crisis response and check items corresponding to the process can be facilitated to enable flexible response to crisis.
One embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited by the embodiment. In the drawings, the same parts are denoted by the same reference symbols.
[Outline of Crisis Response System]
A management device in the present invention may be implemented as a device included in a crisis response system or one function of the crisis response system. First, the crisis response system is described with reference to
As illustrated in
The operations center 3 and the agencies 4 are each provided with a client terminal such as a personal computer and a smartphone, and a user can refer to information provided from the crisis response system 1 and transmit information to the crisis response system 1 through a Web browser on each client terminal.
The crisis response system 1 displays, on the client terminals provided to the operations center 3 and the agencies 4A, 4B, and 4C, a Plan screen for presenting processes at headquarters and implementation items in each phase, a Do screen for managing information on the degrees of importance and the progress of non-routine tasks, and a See screen for displaying measures and damage situations in the form of maps and tables in perspective view. Note that the management device in the present invention provides functions related to the Plan screen and the See screen, in particular.
[Configuration of Management Device]
The management device 10 is implemented by a general-purpose computer such as a server device, and includes a storage unit 11 and a control unit 12 as illustrated in
The storage unit 11 is implemented by a storage device, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a random access memory (RAM) or a flash memory, a hard disk, or an optical disc. In this embodiment, process information 11a, mission pack information 11b, process set information 11c, and integrated information 11d are stored in the storage unit 11. Specific contents of the information stored in the storage unit 11 are successively described in the following descriptions of functions of units in the control unit 12.
The control unit 12 is implemented by using an electronic circuit such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a micro processing unit (MPU) or an integrated circuit such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The control unit 12 executes a processing program stored in a memory to function as a mission pack acquisition unit 12a, a process set acquisition unit 12b, an integration unit 12c, a current process acquisition unit 12d, a browsing coverage acquisition unit 12e, and a disclosure unit 12f as exemplified in
The mission pack acquisition unit 12a acquires a mission pack associated with a set of check items to be implemented during crisis response and association between a process indicating a phase of a critical event and the mission pack. Specifically, the mission pack acquisition unit 12a acquires process information 11a and mission pack information 11b, and stores the process information 11a and the mission pack information 11b in the storage unit 11. For example, the mission pack acquisition unit 12a receives input of process information and mission pack information generated in advance from an operator or another device such as the client terminals 30 and 40, and stores the process information and the mission pack information in the storage unit 11.
Alternatively, the process information 11a and the mission pack information 11b may be automatically generated. For example, the management device 10 may store templates of process information and mission packs in the storage unit 11, and the mission pack acquisition unit 12a may generate the process information 11a and the mission pack information 11b on the basis of the templates when starting to plan a crisis response.
Conventionally, a process and check items are directly associated with each other and managed as illustrated in
As illustrated in
For example, by defining and sharing a mission pack for each organization, the mission pack can be applied when defining a mission pack corresponding to processes. For example, a mission pack corresponding to processes different depending on areas can be defined by referring to the definition in other areas and changing only a mission pack different depending on areas without changing the common mission pack. Consequently, check items corresponding to a process can be completely defined with efficiency.
Referring back to
Alternatively, the process set information 11c may be automatically generated. For example, the management device 10 may store a template of process set information in the storage unit 11, and the process set acquisition unit 12b may generate the process set information 11c on the basis of the template when starting to plan a crisis response.
Note that items “current process” and “browsing coverage” included in the process set information 11c illustrated in
For example, processes corresponding to a process set different depending on areas can be defined by referring to the definition of the process sets in other areas and changing only a process different depending on areas without changing the common process set. Consequently, processes constituting a process set can be completely defined with efficiency.
Referring back to
For example, in the example illustrated in
The use of the integrated information 11d enables the process sets “Typhoon No. 15 (Osaka)” and “Typhoon No. 15 (Nagoya)” different depending on areas to be managed within the same board “Typhoon No. 15”, for example.
Note that, in the example illustrated in
In the example illustrated in
As a result, it is understood that check items corresponding to processes are completely defined with efficiency in the integrated information 11d. In this manner, the processing of the integration unit 12c facilitates the management of check items corresponding to processes.
Referring back to
As illustrated in
Referring back to
The disclosure unit 12f refers to the browsing coverage, and in response to a request from the organization for which browsing is permitted, discloses information on processes, mission packs, or check items associated with the process set in the integrated information 11d. For example, when the disclosure unit 12f receives a disclosure request that designates a process set and processes in the integrated information 11d from the client terminal 30, 40, the disclosure unit 12f permits the output of information on the designated processes if the organization of the client terminal 30, 40 is included in the browsing coverage.
In this manner, for example, check items for processes corresponding to the process set “Typhoon No. 15 (Osaka)” in the board “Typhoon No. 15” can be defined by referring to information in the process set “Typhoon No. 15 (Nagoya)” in its own board “Typhoon No. 15” or information in another board “Typhoon No. 14”.
Information on check items for different process sets in a plurality of boards can be aggregated by using Excel (registered trademark) or the like and disclosed.
In the example illustrated in
Note that, in
As described above, the progress of crisis response at the field class can be more easily grasped by the management class. At the field class responsible for a plurality of boards, the progress of each board can be more easily grasped by checking one screen.
Note that, for example, the above-mentioned current process acquisition unit 12d may refer to the “last check time” illustrated in
[Management Processing]
Next, management processing by the management device 10 according to this embodiment is described with reference to
First, the mission pack acquisition unit 12a acquires mission pack information 11b, that is, a mission pack associated with a set of check items to be implemented during crisis response. The mission pack acquisition unit 12a acquires process information 11s, that is, association between a process indicating a phase of a critical event and a mission pack (Step S1). For example, the mission pack acquisition unit 12a receives input of process information and mission pack information, and stores the process information and the mission pack information in the storage unit 11.
Next, the process set acquisition unit 12b acquires the process set information 11c, that is, a process set associated with a set of processes (Step S2). For example, the process set acquisition unit 12b receives input of process set information, and stores the process set information in the storage unit 11.
Next, the integration unit 12c integrates, for each process set, the association among a process, a mission pack, and check items as the integrated information 11d. Specifically, the integration unit 12c uses the process information 11a, the mission pack information 11b, and the process set information 11c to generate the integrated information 11d, and stores the integrated information 11d in the storage unit 11 (Step S3).
The disclosure unit 12f uses the integrated information 11d to refer to a browsing coverage for each process set acquired by the browsing coverage acquisition unit 12e, and in response to a request from an organization for which browsing is permitted, discloses information on a process, a mission pack, or check items associated with a process set in the integrated information 11d (Step S4). In this manner, a series of management processing is finished.
As described above, in the management device 10 in this embodiment, the mission pack acquisition unit 12a acquires a mission pack associated with a set of check items to be implemented during crisis response and association between a process indicating a phase of a critical event and the mission pack. The process set acquisition unit 12b acquires a process set associated with a set of processes. The integration unit 12c integrates, for each process set, association among a process, a mission pack, and check items as integrated information 11d.
Consequently, the management of check items corresponding to a process is facilitated. For example, check items corresponding to a process can be completely defined with efficiency. A plurality of process sets can be managed. As a result, crisis can be flexibly and easily dealt with.
The current process acquisition unit 12d acquires a current process that is a process currently in progress. Consequently, a plurality of process set in progress concurrently can be managed on different time axes. Alternatively, the progresses of a plurality of process sets can be checked on the same time axis.
The browsing coverage acquisition unit 12e acquires, for each process set, a browsing coverage indicating an organization for which browsing is permitted. The disclosure unit 12f refers to the browsing coverage, and in response to a request from the organization for which browsing is permitted, discloses information on a process, a mission pack, or check items associated with the process set in the integrated information 11d.
Consequently, the settings and check statuses of a mission pack in another board can be referred to and utilized for operation of the own board. For example, in the case of operation of the board “Typhoon No. 15”, a mission pack or a process set applied to the board “Typhoon No. 14” can be referred to to define a mission pack or a process set. Aggregated information on check items for different process sets in a plurality of boards can be browsed. Consequently, the progress of crisis response at the field class can be more easily grasped by the management class. At the field class responsible for a plurality of boards, the progresses of boards can be more easily grasped by checking one screen.
[Program]
A program in which the processing executed by the management device 10 according to the above-mentioned embodiment is written by a computer-executable language can be created. In one embodiment, the management device 10 can be implemented by installing a management program for executing the above-mentioned management processing as packaged software or online software on a desired computer. For example, by executing the above-mentioned management program by an information processing device, the information processing device can function as the management device 10. The information processing device as used herein includes a desktop or notebook personal computer. In addition, the category of the information processing device includes a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone and a slate device such as personal digital assistants (PDA).
The management device 10 can be implemented as a server device for providing a client, which is a terminal device used by a user, with service related to the above-mentioned management processing. For example, the management device 10 is implemented as a server device for providing management processing service that outputs information on processes, mission packs, and check items in response to input for designating a process set. In this case, the management device 10 may be implemented as a Web server, or may be implemented as a cloud for providing service related to the above-mentioned management processing by outsourcing. An example of a computer for executing a management program for implementing the same functions as those of the management device 10 is described below.
The memory 1010 includes a read only memory (ROM) 1011 and a RAM 1012. The ROM 1011 stores therein a boot program such as a basic input output system (BIOS). The hard disk drive interface 1030 is connected to a hard disk drive 1031. The disk drive interface 1040 is connected to a disk drive 1041. A removable storage medium such as a magnetic disk or an optical disc is inserted to the disk drive 1041. For example, the serial port interface 1050 is connected to a mouse 1051 and a keyboard 1052. For example, the video adapter 1060 is connected to a display 1061.
For example, the hard disk drive 1031 stores therein an OS 1091, an application program 1092, a program module 1093, and program data 1094. The pieces of information described in the above-mentioned embodiment are stored in, for example, the hard disk drive 1031 and the memory 1010.
For example, the management program is stored in the hard disk drive 1031 as the program module 1093 in which instructions executed by the computer 1000 are written. Specifically, the program module 1093 in which each piece of processing executed by the management device 10 described in the above-mentioned embodiment is written is stored in the hard disk drive 1031.
Data used for information processing by the management program is stored in, for example, the hard disk drive 1031 as the program data 1094. The CPU 1020 reads the program module 1093 and the program data 1094 stored in the hard disk drive 1031 onto the RAM 1012 as needed, and executes each of the above-mentioned procedures.
Note that the program module 1093 and the program data 1094 for the management program are not necessarily required to be stored in the hard disk drive 1031, and, for example, may be stored in a removable storage medium and read by the CPU 1020 through the disk drive 1041. Alternatively, the program module 1093 and the program data 1094 for the management program may be stored in another computer connected through a network such as a LAN or a wide area network (WAN) and read by the CPU 1020 through the network interface 1070.
