The present invention relates to a vehicle maintenance support device, a vehicle maintenance support method, and a vehicle maintenance support program, and in particular, to a vehicle maintenance support device, a vehicle maintenance support method, and a vehicle maintenance support program for assigning a work relevant to vehicle maintenance to predetermined workers and work pits.
In general, there is a vehicle inspection system to ensure the safe driving of vehicles by making regular inspections of vehicles mandatory. Vehicle inspection is to inspect that there is no problem in appearance, safety, or pollution based on the safety standards established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. For example, for automobiles, it is necessary to inspect the condition of automobiles once every two years at the Transportation Bureau or the designated shop for vehicle inspection and maintenance approved by the Transportation Bureau. Then, a vehicle verification that is valid for two years is issued or renewed for automobiles that have passed the inspection.
In addition, regular inspection and maintenance of automobiles are carried out before undergoing vehicle inspections. In general, regular inspection and maintenance of automobiles are carried out at automobile maintenance shops or automobile dealers (dealers). Among these, there are maintenance shops or dealers approved as designated shops for vehicle inspection and maintenance, and there are many places where regular inspection and maintenance and vehicle inspection are carried out as a set.
The process flow when carrying out regular inspection and vehicle inspection as a set at an automobile maintenance shop generally starts with “reservation reception”, proceeds to “preliminary inspection” before warehousing and “acceptance inspection (including maintenance work)”, “intermediate inspection”, and “completion inspection” after warehousing, and then the designated maintenance record book is issued. If the maintenance company recognizes that the designated maintenance record conforms to the safety standards based on the content of the designated maintenance record book, a safety standard conformity certificate and a safety standard conformity mark are issued.
Then, by submitting the necessary documents such as the designated maintenance record book or the safety standard conformity certificate to the Transport Bureau, a new vehicle verification is issued.
Under such circumstances, a system for administrators of automobile maintenance shops and the like to efficiently manage a series of work processes relevant to vehicle maintenance has been proposed (see, for example, PATENT LITERATURES 1 and 2).
A vehicle maintenance reservation system in PATENT LITERATURE 1 is configured to include a schedule management DB in which time schedules for each vehicle maintenance pit are stored, a work item DB in which vehicle maintenance work items are stored, a customer information DB in which customer information is stored, a control computer for controlling data input and output to each DB, and a terminal computer connected to the control computer.
With the above configuration, when setting the vehicle maintenance schedule, information necessary for the vehicle maintenance reservation can be easily acquired by associating the pieces of information of the respective databases with each other.
In addition, in a process planning device of PATENT LITERATURE 2, a predetermined work process is selected from the process management table displayed on the display screen, and when a user operation for moving to the personnel management table is received, the selected work process is assigned to the personnel management table so that a person in charge is registered.
At this time, the person in charge checks whether or not predetermined conditions (double booking or qualification of the worker) are satisfied. If the predetermined conditions are satisfied, the person in charge confirms the work process, and if the predetermined conditions are not satisfied, the person in charge can notify of the error information in the work process of the process management table and the personnel management table.
However, in the vehicle maintenance support system such as PATENT LITERATURES 1 and 2, the time schedule information of the worker (work pit), work information (work content or working time) relevant to vehicle maintenance, and the skill information of the worker are acquired in advance, so that it is possible to notify of error information if double booking or unqualified workers are assigned when the work (work process) is assigned to the time schedule of a predetermined worker (work pit), but this is merely an operation of the administrator or the like for assigning the work on the computer screen.
For this reason, there has been a demand for a support device (support system) that enables the administrator of an automobile maintenance shop or the like to more efficiently manage the process of the work relevant to vehicle maintenance.
Specifically, there has been a demand for a support device for automatically (almost automatically) assigning the work relevant to vehicle maintenance to predetermined workers and work pits.
In addition, in the vehicle maintenance support system such as PATENT LITERATURES 1 and 2, the information required to reliably assign the work to the worker and the work pit is acquired in advance, but there has been a demand for a support device (support system) capable of managing the process more accurately by acquiring other necessary information in advance.
The present invention has been made in view of the aforementioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle maintenance support device, a vehicle maintenance support method, and a vehicle maintenance support program capable of efficiently and accurately managing the process of a work relevant to vehicle maintenance.
In addition, it is another object of the present invention to provide a vehicle maintenance support device, a vehicle maintenance support method, and a vehicle maintenance support program capable of automatically (almost automatically) assigning a work relevant to vehicle maintenance to predetermined workers and work pits.
According to a vehicle maintenance support device of the present invention, the aforementioned problems are solved in such a manner that a vehicle maintenance support device for assigning a work relevant to vehicle maintenance to a predetermined worker and a predetermined work pit includes: an attribute data acquisition unit that acquires vehicle attribute data indicating attributes of a vehicle to be worked on; a skill data acquisition unit that acquires worker skill data indicating skill information of a worker required to perform the work; an equipment data acquisition unit that acquires pit equipment data indicating equipment information of a work pit required to perform the work; a worker/work pit selection unit that selects a worker having a skill required to perform a specific work and a work pit having required equipment from information of a specific work specified based on the vehicle attributes indicated by the vehicle attribute data, the worker skill information indicated by the worker skill data, and the work pit equipment information indicated by the pit equipment data; a work assignment unit that assigns a specific work to free time of the selected worker and work pit; and a work display unit that displays the assigned specific work on a display screen for each worker and/or work pit.
With the above configuration, it is possible to realize a vehicle maintenance support device capable of efficiently managing the process of the work relevant to vehicle maintenance.
More specifically, since the vehicle maintenance support device includes the worker/work pit selection unit, the work assignment unit, and the work display unit, it is possible to automatically (almost automatically) assign the work relevant to vehicle maintenance to predetermined workers and work pits, for example, by receiving an operation to start an automatic assignment process from the user.
In addition, since the vehicle maintenance support device includes the attribute data acquisition unit, the skill data acquisition unit, and the equipment data acquisition unit, the equipment information of the work pit required to perform the work is acquired in advance. Therefore, it is possible to manage the process of the work relevant to vehicle maintenance more accurately than in the past.
At this time, the information of the specific work may include information of an order of work processes in the specific work, and the work assignment unit may divide the specific work into a plurality of work processes and then assign the specific work for each of the work processes and assign the specific work so that the work processes are arranged in correct time series.
With the above configuration, since, in general, as a series of work relevant to vehicle maintenance, there are work processes in the order of “preliminary inspection”, “acceptance inspection”, “maintenance work”, “intermediate inspection”, and “completion inspection”, the vehicle maintenance support device can perform assignment so that the work processes are arranged in the correct time series. Therefore, it is possible to manage the process of the series of work more accurately.
At this time, the work display unit may display the assigned specific work in a first display area on the display screen for each worker and each work pit and display a list of unassigned specific work in a second display area different from the first display area on the display screen, and a work movement processing unit that receives a selection by a user operation and moves a predetermined specific work, which is not assigned, from the second display area to the first display area to assign the predetermined specific work to free time of a worker and a work pit may be provided.
With the above configuration, for example, a list of specific work that could not be automatically assigned can be displayed separately on the display screen, and a selection by the user operation can be received and assigned manually.
At this time, the work display unit may display a first timetable showing a correspondence between a worker and a working time and a second timetable showing a correspondence between a work pit and a working time in the first display area and display a specific work on each timetable. When a predetermined specific work is moved from the second display area to one of the first timetable and the second timetable displayed in the first display area by receiving a selection by a user operation, the work movement processing unit may assign the predetermined specific work to the one timetable and reflect and assign the predetermined specific work to the other timetable.
With the above configuration, the work relevant to vehicle maintenance can be more efficiently assigned to predetermined workers and work pits. In particular, the first timetable for each worker and the second timetable for each work pit can be efficiently created on the display screen.
At this time, a duplication determination unit, which determines whether or not the same worker or work pit is assigned repeatedly on the same date and time when a predetermined specific work is assigned by the work movement processing unit, and a user notification unit, which notifies of a determination result on the display screen when it is determined that the same worker or work pit is assigned repeatedly, may be provided. When a plurality of work processes in a predetermined specific work are assigned by the work movement processing unit, the duplication determination unit may further determine whether or not the work processes are assigned in correct time series, and when it is determined that the work processes are not assigned in the correct time series, the user notification unit may notify of a determination result on the display screen.
With the above configuration, when manually assigning a specific work (work process of the specific work) that is not automatically assigned, it is possible to assign the specific work (work process of the specific work) more accurately than in the past.
In addition, it is also possible to realize a vehicle maintenance support method for assigning a work relevant to vehicle maintenance to a predetermined worker and a predetermined work pit. In the vehicle maintenance support method, a computer executes: an attribute data acquisition step for acquiring vehicle attribute data indicating attributes of a vehicle to be worked on; a skill data acquisition step for acquiring worker skill data indicating skill information of a worker required to perform the work; an equipment data acquisition step for acquiring pit equipment data indicating equipment information of a work pit required to perform the work; a worker/work pit selection step for selecting a worker having a skill required to perform a specific work and a work pit having required equipment from information of a specific work specified based on the vehicle attributes indicated by the vehicle attribute data, the worker skill information indicated by the worker skill data, and the work pit equipment information indicated by the pit equipment data; a work assignment step for assigning a specific work to free time of the selected worker and work pit; and a work display step for displaying the assigned specific work on a display screen for each worker and/or work pit.
In addition, it is also possible to realize a vehicle maintenance support program causing a computer as a vehicle maintenance support device for assigning a work relevant to vehicle maintenance to a predetermined worker and a predetermined work pit to execute: an attribute data acquisition process for acquiring vehicle attribute data indicating attributes of a vehicle to be worked on; a skill data acquisition process for acquiring worker skill data indicating skill information of a worker required to perform the work; an equipment data acquisition process for acquiring pit equipment data indicating equipment information of a work pit required to perform the work; a worker/work pit selection process for selecting a worker having a skill required to perform a specific work and a work pit having required equipment from information of a specific work specified based on the vehicle attributes indicated by the vehicle attribute data, the worker skill information indicated by the worker skill data, and the work pit equipment information indicated by the pit equipment data; a work assignment process for assigning a specific work to free time of the selected worker and work pit; and a work display process for displaying the assigned specific work on a display screen for each worker and/or work pit.
According to the vehicle maintenance support device, the vehicle maintenance support method, and the vehicle maintenance support program of the present invention, it is possible to efficiently and accurately manage the process of a series of work relevant to vehicle maintenance.
In particular, it is possible to strongly support schedule management and resource management of workers (work pits) in a series of work relevant to vehicle maintenance.
In addition, the work relevant to vehicle maintenance can be automatically (almost automatically) assigned to predetermined workers and work pits.

The “pit equipment data” is data indicating the equipment information of the work pit required for the work, and is master data that is updated as needed by receiving the input of the user operation.
By referring to the data, it is possible to acquire the equipment information of the work pit required for each work process, so that it is possible to execute the automatic assignment function.
More specifically, the pit equipment data is master data that is completed by setting equipment information for each work pit on the work pit setting screen shown in
The data includes the information of “WORK PIT NAME” and “EQUIPMENT” as the equipment information of the work pit.
Looking at this example of
In addition, it can be seen that, when the selection of a display button “ADD NEW” by the user operation is received on the work pit setting screen shown in
The “timetable data” is table data indicating the correspondence between the worker (work pit) and the working time, and is master data for managing information in which a predetermined work process is assigned to a predetermined worker (work pit) and working time.
By referring to the data, it is possible to execute a function of displaying the timetable on the display screen (table display area 101) as shown in
More specifically, the timetable data includes the information of “WORKER (WORK PIT)” at its vertical axis and the information of “working time” at its horizontal axis, and also includes the information of “date”.
Looking at the table display area 101 in this example of
In addition, looking at the table display area 101 in this example of
In addition, by receiving the selection of a display tab “WORK PIT” by the user operation on the work assignment screen (worker) shown in
As shown in
The “work assignment screen” is mainly configured to include the table display area 101, the unassigned work display area 102, a work details display area 103, a vehicle details display area 104, and an operation button display area 105.
More specifically, the work display unit 11 displays, on the “table display area 101”, a first timetable 101a showing the correspondence between the worker and the working time and a second timetable 101b showing the correspondence between the work pit and the working time, and displays a work process assigned on each timetable.
In addition, the work display unit 11 displays a list of unassigned work (work process) on the “unassigned work display area 102”, displays detailed information of the work process selected by the user operation on the “work details display area 103”, and displays detailed information of the vehicle selected by the user operation on the “vehicle details display area 104”.
In addition, the work display unit 11 displays, on the “operation button display area 105”, an operation button “F1” for executing the help function, an operation button “F2” for executing the automatic assignment function, and operation buttons “F3” to “F11” for switching the display screen.
As shown in
As other “worker assignment conditions”, “worker attendance information (free time information)”, “worker performance information”, and “work pit operation information (free time information)” can be set.
In addition, it is possible to prioritize these work assignment conditions. For example, it is advisable to give priority to a vehicle having the earliest “delivery date (scheduled delivery date)” and assign the work.
The attribute data acquisition unit 13 acquires “vehicle attribute data” indicating the attributes of the vehicle to be worked on, and the vehicle attribute data is divided for each vehicle and stored in the memory unit 10.
The skill data acquisition unit 14 acquires “worker skill data” indicating worker skill information required for work, and is stored in the memory unit 10.
The equipment data acquisition unit 15 acquires “pit equipment data” indicating equipment information of the work pit required for work, and is stored in the memory unit 10.
Here, the “vehicle attribute data”, “worker skill data”, and “pit equipment data” are data that is generated by the vehicle maintenance support device 1 when receiving the input or selection by the user operation on the display screen of the user terminal 100. That is, the vehicle maintenance support device 1 generates the above data and acquires the generated data.
In addition, a computer (for example, a management data server) (not shown) connected to the vehicle maintenance support device 1 through a network may generate the above data, and the vehicle maintenance support device 1 may acquire the above data from the computer.
The worker/work pit selection unit 16 selects a worker who has a required skill to perform specific work and a work pit having required equipment from (1) information of specific work that is specified based on the vehicle attributes indicated by the “vehicle attribute data”, (2) worker skill information indicated by the “worker skill data”, and (3) equipment information of the work pit indicated by the “pit equipment data”.
To describe the above (1) in detail, the worker/work pit selection unit 16 specifies the required work from the vehicle attributes indicated by the “vehicle attribute data” by referring to the “vehicle-specific work data”.
Here, the “specific work information” is the work content specified from the information of the “vehicle type” and the “desired work” included in the attributes of the vehicle to be worked on. Specifically, the “work name”, “work process name”, and “required time”, “required number of persons”, “required skills”, and “required equipment” for each work process correspond to the “specific work information”.
In addition, the “worker skill information” specifically corresponds to the information of “worker name” and “skills”, and the “work pit equipment information” specifically corresponds to the information of “work pit name” and “equipment”.
The work assignment unit 17 assigns “specific work” to the free time of the selected worker and work pit. More specifically, the work assignment unit 17 divides the specific work into a plurality of “work processes”, and then assigns the specific work for each of the “work processes” and assigns the specific work so that the “work processes” are arranged in the correct time series.
Then, the work display unit 11 displays the assigned work process in the table display area 101 on the display screen for each worker and each work pit, and displays an unassigned work process in the unassigned work display area 102 on the display screen.
In addition, when a plurality of workers (work pits) are selected, for example, the same worker (work pit) may be preferentially assigned so as to be involved in a series of work processes. In addition, it is preferable to give priority to workers who have a lot of work (work process) experience. In addition, since work is easily assigned to a worker having a plurality of skills, it is preferable to lower the priority of the worker.
In the above, since a series of processes are performed by the worker/work pit selection unit 16, the work assignment unit 17, and the work display unit 11, the “automatic assignment process” is performed.
In order to start the “automatic assignment process”, the selection of the operation button “F2” by the user operation may be received on the work assignment screen shown in
In addition to the timing of receiving the selection of the operation button “F2”, the “automatic assignment process” may be automatically started at the timing of receiving the reservation of a new vehicle.
As shown in
More specifically, as shown in
Specifically, on the work assignment screen shown in
Looking at this example of
Then, looking at this example of
In addition, since the “PIT 1” has equipment “LARGE LIFT” and the series of work processes are performed in the “PIT 1”, the “PIT 1” is automatically assigned.
In addition, the work movement processing unit 18 can receive the selection by the user operation and return the predetermined work process from the “table display area 101” to the “unassigned work display area 102”.
That is, the work movement processing unit 18 can freely move a predetermined work process between the “table display area 101” and the “unassigned work display area 102”.
The duplication determination unit 19 determines whether or not the same worker or work pit is assigned repeatedly on the same date and time when a predetermined work process is assigned to the predetermined position on the timetable by the work movement processing unit 18.
In addition, the duplication determination unit 19 determines whether or not the work process is assigned to the worker having a required skill and the work pit having required equipment when a predetermined work process is assigned.
In addition, the duplication determination unit 19 can further determine whether or not the respective work processes are assigned in the correct time series when a plurality of work processes in predetermined specific work are assigned.
The user notification unit 20 notifies of the determination result on the display screen when it is determined by the duplication determination unit 19 that the same worker or work pit is assigned repeatedly.
In addition, even when it is determined that the work process is not assigned to the worker having a required skill and the work pit having required equipment, the user notification unit 20 notifies of the determination result on the display screen.
In addition, the user notification unit 20 can notify of the determination result on the display screen even when it is determined that the respective work processes are not assigned in the correct time series.
Specifically, when the work process “COMPLETION INSPECTION” is assigned to the worker “SEIBI JIRO” and the holding time “10:30 to 12:00” on the first timetable 101a on the work assignment screen shown in
In addition, it is determined whether or not the worker “SEIBI Jiro” has a skill “AUTOMOBILE INSPECTOR” required for the work process “COMPLETION INSPECTION”, and it is determined whether or not the work pit “PIT 1” has required equipment “LARGE LIFT”.
In addition, it is further determined whether or not a plurality of work processes in the vehicle type “LARGE VEHICLE” and the specific work “VEHICLE INSPECTION” are assigned in the correct time series.
Looking at this example of
In addition, since it has been found that a plurality of work processes are not assigned in the correct time series, it can be seen that the error content “COMPLETION INSPECTION IS ASSIGNED BEFORE MAINTENANCE WORK!” pops up on the display screen and the relevant work process is highlighted with a thick red frame.
In addition, a “red exclamation mark” may be displayed to emphasize the relevant work process.
Next, a process of a vehicle maintenance support program (vehicle maintenance support method) executed by the vehicle maintenance support device 1 will be described with reference to
The above-described program according to the present embodiment is a program obtained by integrating various programs to realize the work display unit 11, the assignment conditions setting unit 12, the attribute data acquisition unit 13, the skill data acquisition unit 14, the equipment data acquisition unit 15, the worker/work pit selection unit 16, the work assignment unit 17, the work movement processing unit 18, the duplication determination unit 19, and the user notification unit 20 as functional components of the vehicle maintenance support device 1 including the memory unit 10, and the CPU of the vehicle maintenance support device 1 executes this vehicle maintenance support program.
The above-described program is executed by receiving an operation instruction from the user.
In addition, the memory unit 10 of the vehicle maintenance support device 1 stores “vehicle attribute data”, “vehicle-specific work data”, “worker skill data”, “pit equipment data”, and “timetable data”.
The vehicle maintenance support flow shown in
Looking at the work assignment screen (worker) shown in
Then, in step S2, as shown in
Then, in step S3, the attribute data acquisition unit 13 acquires the attribute information of the vehicle to be worked on.
Then, in step S4, the worker/work pit selection unit 16 selects a worker who has a required skill for the work process of the specific work and a work pit having required equipment from (1) information of specific work that is specified based on the vehicle attributes, (2) worker skill information, and (3) equipment information of the work pit.
Then, in step S5, the work assignment unit 17 assigns the specific work to the free time of the selected worker and the work pit. At this time, the work assignment unit 17 divides the specific work into a plurality of work processes, and then assigns the specific work for each of the work processes and assigns the specific work so that the work processes are arranged in the correct time series.
Then, in step S6, as shown in
Then, in step S7, as shown in
Then, in step S8, the work display unit 11 displays the assigned work process in the table display area 101 on the display screen for each worker and each work pit.
Then, in step S9, the duplication determination unit 19 determines whether or not the same worker or work pit is assigned repeatedly on the same date and time when a predetermined work process is assigned to the predetermined position on the timetable by the work movement processing unit 18.
If it is determined that the same worker or work pit is not assigned repeatedly (step S9: Yes), the process proceeds to step S10.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the same worker or work pit is assigned repeatedly (step S9: No), the user notification unit 20 notifies the user of the determination result to prompt the user to perform the assignment again (step S12), and then the process returns to step S7.
Then, in step S10, the duplication determination unit 19 determines whether or not the work process is assigned to the worker having a required skill and the work pit having required equipment when a predetermined work process is assigned.
If it is determined that the assignment is appropriate (step S10: Yes), the process proceeds to step S11.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the assignment is not appropriate (step S10: No), the user notification unit 20 notifies the user of the determination result to prompt the user to perform the assignment again (step S12), and then the process returns to step S7.
Then, in step S11, the duplication determination unit 19 further determines whether or not the respective work processes are assigned in the correct time series when a plurality of work processes in predetermined specific work are assigned.
If it is determined that the respective work processes are assigned in the correct time series (step S11: Yes), the process of
On the other hand, if it is determined that the respective work processes are not assigned in the correct time series (step S11: No), the user notification unit 20 notifies the user of the determination result to prompt the user to perform the assignment again (step S12), and then the process return to step S7.
Through the above steps S1 to S11, the process of
With the configuration of the vehicle maintenance support program described above, it is possible to efficiently and accurately manage the process of the work relevant to vehicle maintenance.
In particular, it is possible to strongly support schedule management and resource management of workers (work pits) in a series of work relevant to vehicle maintenance.
In addition, the work relevant to vehicle maintenance can be automatically (almost automatically) assigned to predetermined workers and work pits.
In the embodiment described above, as shown in
For example, the work display unit 11 may simultaneously display the first timetable 101a shown in FIG. 4 and the second timetable 101b shown in
In the embodiment described above, as shown in
