[0049]
First, with reference to FIG. 3, a description will be given of the change in the number of merchandise displayed in the supermarket and the number of customers per day, and the decision to give up the reference time during opening, closing, and business hours.
[0050]
That is, in FIG. 3, the store opens from 8:00 am and closes at 20:00.
[0051]
In FIG. 3, the curve A indicates the number of customers who have come to the store, and the line graph B indicates the number of displays of a certain product.
[0052]
As is apparent from this graph, the number of items displayed has a peak at 16:30 minutes.
[0053]
And the number of customers is decreasing after peaking at 16:30.
[0054]
Moreover, the peak of the number of customers has reached the peak around 12:00.
[0055]
In the present invention, the number of products to be displayed in the store at the time of opening and closing of the store is stored in the reference memory, and the sale of the product is predicted after that time at the reference time, that is, the judgment time for closing (16:30 minutes). The sales forecast number to be calculated is calculated.
[0056]
At the time of opening and closing the store, the reference value as the optimum number of products to be displayed, the number of actually displayed products, and the number of insufficient products are listed in the store processor or weighing Is displayed on the display unit of the storage system (hereinafter referred to as an alarm at the time of opening and an alarm at the time of closing)
In addition, at the reference time during business operation, that is, at the closing decision time (16:40 minutes), the store processor or the weighing is made by listing the number of predicted sales and the number of displays expected to be sold after that time, the shortage of products, etc. Is displayed on the display unit of the container system (hereinafter referred to as a parting alarm).
[0057]
Next, with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 4, an outline process of the opening alarm, the parting alarm, and the closing alarm will be described.
[0058]
First, the opening alarm processing will be described. When the store is opened, the remaining number of the previous day for each product is obtained from the remaining number of days previous memory in which the remaining number is set by a remaining check system (not shown). Based on the weighing instrument data output from the weighing label printer 13, the flat-rate label printer 14, the packaging machine 15 with a weighing instrument, etc., the number of bids is calculated based on the number of issued labels set in the current day price memory. Get. This price is the number of products newly opened at the time of opening.
[0059]
Then, the number of items to be opened at the time of opening is calculated by adding the remaining number of the previous day and the pre-opening price obtained as measuring instrument data.
[0060]
Then, a reference value as a reference value to be displayed in the store at the time of opening the store and the number of items delivered at the time of opening are output as an alarm list at the time of opening. The detailed operation for outputting the opening alarm list will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0061]
Next, the parting alarm process will be briefly described. First, the number of items delivered at the time of opening is obtained from the opening alarm processing. Based on the number of items delivered at the time of opening the store and the weighing instrument data output from the weighing label printer 13, the flat-rate label printer 14, the packaging machine 15 with a measuring instrument, etc. Get.
[0062]
Then, the number of items displayed at the time of opening the store and the number of bids after the opening of the store are added, and the current number of items displayed is obtained by subtracting the number of items sold from the POS data output from the POS 16 from the added value. Yes. This is stored in the display number memory.
[0063]
FIG. 5 calculates the predicted number of products to be sold after the closing time, with reference to the ratio at which the products are sold before and after the closing time (16:30), that is, the composition ratio. is doing. Then, based on the number of displays and the expected number of sales, an out-of-stock alarm list that lists products that are short of products, an out-of-stock alarm list that lists items with zero products, and a part-time alarm list are generated. ing.
[0064]
The process for outputting the parting alarm list will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0065]
Next, the closing alarm processing will be described.
[0066]
First, the closing alarm list is generated by referring to the current display number obtained in the parting alarm processing and the closing item assortment standard as the number of items to be arranged at closing.
[0067]
The process of outputting the closing alarm list will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0068]
As described above, it is possible to create a store opening alarm list, a parting alarm list, and a store closing alarm list. The creation processing of the opening alarm list, the closing alarm list, and the closing alarm list will be described later with reference to FIGS.
[0069]
Next, FIG. 5 shows the sales ratio memory for each day of the week, category, and product for the ratio at which the products are sold, with the reference time limit (16:30) for determining the closing in FIG. I remember it. Here, “by category” means “by region”, and in the case of pork, it means a portion of a product such as shoulder meat or thigh meat.
[0070]
With reference to the composition ratio shown in FIG. 5, the number of products sold until the closing time (16:30 minutes) is obtained from the POS data, and will be sold after the closing time until the closing time. The logic for calculating the expected number of sales and calculating the expected number of closeouts will be described.
[0071]
The calculation logic of FIG. 6 will be described with respect to the logic for calculating the expected number of sales until closing based on the Wednesday composition ratio of FIG.
[0072]
First, suppose that 100 items were displayed at the time of opening of the day. Here, the breakdown of the 100 pieces is 60 pieces for processing on the day and 40 pieces for finishing. Pass-through refers to the work of processing a product until the day before commercialization on the previous day.
[0073]
Then, the constituent ratio of Wednesday is referred to among the constituent ratios of FIG. According to this composition ratio, it can be read that the product is sold by 60% by the closing time, and 40% by the closing time.
[0074]
Therefore, if it is confirmed that 50 items have been sold from the POS data by the closeout reference time, the predicted number of sales that the product will be sold from the closeout reference time to closing is “50 × 0.4. Calculated as “÷ 0.6”.
[0075]
That is, when 100 items are displayed at the time of opening, if 50 items are actually sold by the closing time, it is predicted that 33 items will be sold from the closing time to the closing time. The
[0076]
Of the 100 products, (50 + 33) = 83 products are sold, and 17 products remain unsold. That is, 17 are calculated as the predicted number of parting off.
[0077]
Next, with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 to 9, the process of creating the store opening assortment alarm list, out of stock alarm list, out of stock forecast alarm list, closeout alarm list, and closing store assortment alarm list will be described. To do.
[0078]
First, a store opening item assortment alarm list display key provided on the keyboard of the store processor 12 is operated to start processing for outputting a store opening assortment alarm list (step S1).
[0079]
In response to the operation of the display key, the flow chart process of FIG. 7 is started. The basic logic when creating the store assortment alarm list is as described in FIG.
[0080]
Next, a measuring instrument that collectively refers to the remaining number of the previous day of products stored in the remaining number of days previous day memory and the weighing label printer 13, the flat-rate label printer 14, and the packaging machine 15 with a measuring instrument stored in the current day pricing memory. The number of bids for the day collected from the product is added for each product (step S2).
[0081]
Then, the current number of displays is calculated by subtracting the sales quantity of the day sent from the POS 16 from the quantity calculated in step S2, but because the sales quantity of the POS on the day is zero because it is before opening the store. This subtraction is not performed (step S3).
[0082]
  Therefore, step S3The number of products calculated in (1) is stored in the display number memory of the store processor 12 as the number of products displayed.
[0083]
Also, the product assortment standard at the time of product opening is read out from the standard value memory storing the quantity of products to be displayed in the store at the time of opening as a standard value for each product, and “the product assortment standard value> the number of displays” By picking up items and subtracting the assortment reference value from the number of displays by the shortage number calculating means, the shortage number of products is calculated.
[0084]
Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the store opening assortment alarm list is generated by the list generation means in the order of the product number and the number of items in shortage.
[0085]
Here, when the number of displays is zero, the list generation means generates a separate list for cases where the number of displays is not zero.
[0086]
Then, the store opening assortment alarm list generated by the list generation means is output to the display unit of the store processor (step S6).
[0087]
Here, the data may also be output to a printer (not shown) on the network connected inline to the store processor 12.
[0088]
As described above, when the store opening assortment alarm list display key is operated from the keyboard of the store processor 12, the store opening assortment alarm list is displayed on the display unit 12d of the store processor 12.
[0089]
In this way, since the standard is set for the assortment of each product at the time of opening the store, the reference quantity, the number of displays and the number of shortages are displayed as a list for each product on the display unit 12d of the store processor 12 at the time of opening the store. Even if the manager is unfamiliar, the product lineup at the time of opening can be accurately performed.
[0090]
By the way, when the store opening assortment alarm list is displayed on the display unit of the measuring device collectively including the weighing label printer 13, the flat-rate label printer 14, and the packaging machine 15 with the measuring device, it is provided on the keyboard 61 of the measuring device. The store assortment alarm list display key is operated (step S11).
[0091]
In response to this operation, the CPU 33 of the measuring instrument outputs a request signal for displaying the store assortment alarm list to the store processor 12 (step S12).
[0092]
Upon receiving this request signal, the store processor 12 generates a store opening assortment alarm list by the list generation means by the processing of steps S2 to S5 described above.
[0093]
Then, the store opening assortment alarm list generated by the list generating means is returned as display data to a measuring instrument collectively referring to the flat-rate label printer 14 and the packaging machine 15 with a measuring instrument (step S13).
[0094]
The display data is displayed on the LCD 58 of the measuring instrument (step S14). Further, an assortment alarm list at the time of opening the store is output from the thermal head 75.
[0095]
As described above, when the display key for displaying the store opening assortment alarm list is operated from the weighing instrument keyboard 61, the store opening alarm list can be displayed on the display unit of the measuring instrument, that is, the LCD 58. . Furthermore, the alarm list at the time of opening the store can be printed on the recording paper by the thermal head 75.
[0096]
In this way, a standard is set for the assortment of each product at the time of opening the store, and when the store is opened, the display unit of the measuring instrument and the LCD 58 display a list of the reference quantity, the number of displays, and the shortage for each product. Even if a worker working in a super backyard is unfamiliar, it is possible to accurately know the product lineup at the time of opening without going to the store.
[0097]
Next, an operation for displaying the out-of-stock out-of-stock alarm list, the out-of-stock alarm, and the close-out alarm list will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, a key operation for displaying three lists from the keyboard of the store processor 12 is performed (step S21).
[0098]
In response to this key operation, the remaining number of the previous day of the product and the number of bids for the day collected from the measuring device collectively including the weighing label printer 13, the flat-rate label printer 14, and the packaging machine 15 with the measuring device are added for each product. (Step S22).
[0099]
Further, the current number of displays is calculated by subtracting the sales quantity of the day sent from the POS 16 from the quantity calculated in step S22 (step S23).
[0100]
Therefore, the number of products calculated in step S1 is stored in the display number memory of the store processor 12 as the number of products displayed.
[0101]
Next, as described above with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the number of products sold up to the closing reference time is obtained from the POS 16 with reference to the closing reference time, and the composition ratio of FIG. 5 is referred to. The sales forecast number is calculated by the sales forecast number calculating means (step S25).
[0102]
Then, the sales forecast number calculated by the sales forecast number calculating means is compared with the display number of the product stored in the display number memory (step S25).
[0103]
Then, by subtracting the display number from the sales forecast number, the shortage quantity and the parting quantity of the product are calculated.
[0104]
Further, a product of “Sales forecast number> Display number” is picked up (step S26).
[0105]
Then, the out-of-stock forecast alarm list generation means picks up products with “number of sales forecast> number of displays”, and creates the list shown in FIG. Step S27).
[0106]
Further, among the products of “Sales forecast number> Display number” generated by the out-of-stock prospect alarm list generating means, the product of “Display number = 0” is picked up (step S28).
[0107]
Then, the out-of-stock alarm list generating means generates the out-of-stock alarm list shown in FIG. 11 in the order of the product number or the number of items in which the number of products is short, with “number of sales forecast> number of displays” and “number of displays = 0”. (Step S29).
[0108]
On the other hand, a product with “number of sales forecast <number of displays” is picked up (step S30).
[0109]
