The present invention has been conceived under the circumstances as described above, and can appropriately prevent the content of the inspection item list from being changed unfairly, and appropriately optimize the inspection. The challenge is to provide an efficient inspection management system.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical measures.

The inspection management system provided by the present invention comprises a data storage device storing inspection item list data of products to be inspected in a plurality of inspection processes of an inspection line , and access to this data storage device. data between an inspection department information processing device used in an inspection department that carries out inspection of said product to be inspected and said inspection department information processing device used in a management department different from said inspection department and said inspection department information processing device and an administrative department information processing device capable of communication, and when the content of the inspection item list is to be changed, the changed content is transmitted from the inspection department information processing device to the administrative department information processing device. When this change application is made, the information processing device of the administrative department will check the difference between the data of the current inspection item list and the data of the inspection item list for which the change application has been made. A first information process in which a process for detecting is executed by a program, and the difference is displayed, and whether the difference is an addition, deletion, or change in content of an item, and After creating inspection item data by process of the plurality of inspection processes corresponding to the current inspection item list and inspection item data by process of the plurality of inspection processes corresponding to the inspection item list for which the change application has been made, a second information processing in which a process for detecting the differences between them is executed by a program and the differences are displayed; When an operation to approve the change application is performed, the change of the contents of the inspection item list is permitted, and the data of the inspection item list after the change is stored in the data storage device as authenticated data. On the other hand, if there is no operation to approve, the modification of the contents of the inspection item list is not permitted.

According to such a configuration, the following effects are obtained.
First, in order to change the contents of the inspection item list, an application from the inspection department to the management department is required, and approval by the management department is required. Therefore, the inspection department cannot freely change the contents of the inspection item list, and inappropriate changes are prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent the inspection from being performed based on an inappropriate inspection item list, and it is possible to improve the reliability of the inspection.
Secondly, the application for change of the contents of the inspection item list and the procedure for its approval are performed by the inspection department information processing device, the management department information processing device, and the data storage device in which the inspection item list data of the product to be inspected is stored. Since it is performed by the data communication used, the procedure can be performed quickly and efficiently. In addition, it is easy to prevent intervention by a third party, etc., and it is more preferable to reliably prevent the content of the inspection item list from being changed unfairly.

Other features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer from the following description of embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

The inspection management system SY shown in FIG. 1 is used in an inspection department terminal 2 used in an inspection department 20 including an automobile inspection line L installed as the final line in an automobile factory, and in a management department 30 separate from the inspection department 20. a management department terminal 3, a database 4 storing data Da of inspection item lists of automobiles, and a communication terminal 1 used by an inspector who inspects automobiles on the inspection line L.

The inspection department terminal 2 and the management department terminal 3 correspond to the "inspection department information processing device" and the "management department information processing device" of the present invention, respectively, and are configured using, for example, personal computers. Data communication is possible in The database 4 corresponds to a "data storage device" in the present invention, and is used to store data Da of an inspection item list, which will be described later, and other various data. The inspection department terminal 2 and the management department terminal 3 can access the database 4 via the server 40 .
The inspection department terminal 2 and the management department terminal 3 have an authentication function such as a face authentication function for specifying who the operator is when they are operated.

The communication terminal 1 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone 1 (1a) or a tablet terminal 1 (1b), and its display unit 13 can display screens for proceeding with the examination. FIG. 2 shows an example of this, and in this screen display, there are a plurality of inspection item display columns C2 and inspection result entry columns C3. The inspector proceeds with the inspection while looking at the inspection item display column C2, and inputs the inspection result into the inspection result entry column C3. Since the display unit 13 is of a touch panel type, it is possible to input data by handwriting after selecting the inspection item by tapping the display portion of the inspection item. Process-specific inspection item data D1, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, is downloaded to the communication terminal 1 and used to display the inspection item display column C2. In the inspection line L, a wireless LAN system that enables wireless communication between the communication terminal 1 and the inspection department terminal 2 is constructed. It can be sent to terminal 2. The result can be output as a completion inspection report C using the printer P. FIG.

The data Da of the inspection item list has, for example, contents as shown in FIG. 3, and items to be inspected for a vehicle of a predetermined type are defined. As described above, this data Da is stored in the database 4, and the inspection department 20 can access this database 4 and download it for appropriate use.

FIG. 6 shows an example of an outline of the inspection item data D1 for each process. The inspection item data D1 for each process is created based on the data Da of the inspection item list, and the inspection items listed in the inspection item list are individually assigned to a plurality of processes on the inspection line L. It is. Preferably, the inspection item data D1 for each process has a plurality of inspection items arranged in an efficient order for the inspector to proceed with the inspection, and organized so as to be easy to see. When the process-specific inspection item data D1 shown in FIG. 6B is downloaded to the communication terminal 1, the screen display shown in FIG. Therefore, by preparing a communication terminal 1 for each process of the inspection line L and downloading the corresponding data from the process-specific inspection item data D1 to the communication terminal 1, the communication terminal 1 can be used for inspection in each process. can be used for

Next, an example of the operation processing procedure in the inspection management system SY will be described with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG.

First, when the inspection department 20 needs to change the contents of the inspection item list, the inspection department terminal 2 is used to apply to the management department 30 . This application is made in the inspection department terminal 2 according to the procedure shown in FIG. That is, first, using the inspection department terminal 2, an operation is performed to apply for a change in the contents of the inspection item list. (S1: YES, S2). As a result, it is determined whether or not the operator has the authority to apply for modification of the contents of the inspection item list. means can also be employed. As a result of the judgment described above, if the operator is recognized as having the authority to apply for change of the contents of the inspection item list, the change application is permitted (S3: YES, S4). After that, when the operator performs an operation to change the inspection item list, the data Db of the inspection item list after the change is transmitted to the management department terminal 3, and a change application is made (S5: YES, S6 ).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when the management department terminal 3 receives from the inspection department terminal 2 the change application and the inspection item list data Db for which the change application has been made, the current status corresponding to this change application is received. A process is performed to obtain the data Da of the inspection item list from the database 4 (S11: YES, S12). This process is preferably automatic under program control.

Next, in the management department terminal 3, a program automatically executes a process of detecting differences between the current inspection item list data Da and the inspection item list data Db for which a change application has been made, and the differences are detected. A display is made (S13). This display is performed so as to highlight the difference.
To give a specific example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the contents of the data Db of the inspection item list for which a change application has been made include the contents of a part of the items indicated by the symbol n1, as shown in FIG. As shown in the data Dc, the part whose content has been changed is conspicuously displayed, and furthermore, the fact that the content of the change is "addition" is also displayed. This makes it easier for the person in charge of the management department 30 to quickly and accurately determine whether the change application is appropriate. Various means such as changing the color of the changed part, changing the character size or typeface, etc. can be adopted as a means for highlighting the part where the content has been changed. Changes to the contents of the inspection item list include addition of items, deletion of items, change of contents of items, and the like, which are the same as the case of "addition" described above.

In parallel with the above-described processing, the management department terminal 3 creates process inspection item data D1 corresponding to the current inspection item list and process inspection item data corresponding to the inspection item list for which change has been requested. Moreover, after detecting the difference (changed part), a process of conspicuously displaying the changed part is also executed (S14). This process is also automatically performed under program control. If such a process is performed, it is possible to judge the propriety of the change application while looking at the inspection item data D1 for each process in addition to the inspection item list, so it is possible to judge the propriety of the change by looking only at the inspection item list. It will be easier to understand the change content than if you judge it.

After that, when the person in charge who has the authority to approve the change of the inspection item list described above uses the management department terminal 3 to accept the change application, the change application is approved, the approval date, the change is sent to the inspection department terminal 2. (S15: YES, S16). It should be noted that whether or not the person in charge is an authorized person should be made obligatory for the person in charge to enter his/her own ID code and a predetermined password when performing an operation to approve a change application, for example. can be determined by Of course, other means such as face authentication can be employed instead. Although not shown in the flowchart, the approval operation by an unauthorized person is invalidated, or the approval operation itself is disabled.

After the change application is approved, the changed inspection item list data Db is transmitted from the management department terminal 3 to the database 4 and stored (S17). In this case, it is prohibited to download and use the data Db of the inspection item list after change from the database 4 before the effective date and time of the change. A restriction is imposed to the effect that it is prohibited to download the item list data Da from the database 4 and use it.

On the other hand, unlike the above, when the person in charge of the management department 30 does not approve the change of the contents of the inspection item list, the data to that effect is transmitted to the inspection department terminal 2 (S15: NO, S18: YES). , S19). Modes of not approving a change include so-called rejection and remand (a minor mistake in the content of the application prompts reapplication). Data of reasons for disapproval are preferably also transmitted to the inspection department terminal 2 .

According to the series of operation processing procedures described above, only authorized persons in the inspection department 20 and the management department 30 can be involved in the procedures for changing the contents of the inspection item list. The content of the inspection item list cannot be changed independently by Therefore, it is possible to prevent the contents of the inspection item list from being changed inappropriately, thereby increasing the reliability of the inspection. In addition, since the application for changing the contents of the inspection item list and the procedure for its approval are performed by data communication between the inspection department terminal 2, the management department terminal 3, and the database 4, the speed of the procedure can be ensured. . In addition, it is easy to prevent intervention by a third party.

The invention is not limited to the content of the embodiments described above. The specific configuration of each part of the inspection management system according to the present invention can be modified in various ways within the intended scope of the present invention.
Products to be inspected are not limited to automobiles, and vehicles other than automobiles can be inspected, and various other products can also be inspected.
