Description

The present invention relates to a device for displaying a work load, and in particular, it is possible to quickly recognize from the load status of the entire process to the work information which is a component of the load, The present invention relates to a display device suitable for easy correction of input data to a schedule planning system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a schedule plan of the order in which work for production is performed has been created by people called work planners. However, there are problems that the production schedule, human work efficiency, and machine operation rate vary greatly depending on whether the schedule is good or bad, and that it is necessary to plan work for several thousand to tens of thousands of work per week. . Therefore, recently, a computer-based schedule planning system is used. The computer-scheduled itinerary is output on printer paper. The work planner sees the schedule and takes measures for the capacity of the process in which the work load is concentrated. However, since the schedule is written on the printer paper in letters, it is impossible for the work planner to at first glance to judge the work intensive process. Therefore, as a method of displaying the work load, there is proposed a method of displaying the load state by using colors on a matrix for each day and step, as in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-15650. However, no consideration was given to capacity measures only by displaying the work load.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional method, the work load state can be roughly displayed to the work planner by using colors in a matrix form for each daily process, but a detailed work load condition can be displayed for any part of the rough work load display. No consideration is given to displaying the contents of the load, that is, the content of the work, and the following four problems occur.

First, in the matrix-like workload display, the details of the workload status by day of a certain process cannot be seen. For this reason, the work planner cannot accurately determine the work on the day when the work is concentrated on the previous day or on the next day by looking at the matrix-shaped work load. Second, first
On the contrary, in the workload display, details of the workload status for each process on a certain day cannot be seen. Thirdly, the work amount of a certain process corresponding to the element of the matrix representing the work load can be recognized, but the information on the individual work, which is a breakdown of the work amount, cannot be displayed. Therefore, the work planner must search the output list for the work content where the work is concentrated. This requires a considerable amount of time. Fourth, as a capability measure for a process in which work is concentrated, a specific work is outsourced, workers in that process work overtime, or many workers are put in the process. In order to reflect the results of doing things in the schedule planning system, the input data of the schedule planning system must be modified.

An object of the present invention is to provide a workload display device that can solve the above four problems.

[Means for solving problems]

The above-mentioned object is to input data relating to products, processes and operations, arithmetic means for processing the input data, means for displaying the arithmetic result, and means for inputting control parameters for arithmetic operation. This is achieved by allowing the status of the work load planned by the scheduling system to be displayed in more detail as follows. That is,
For example, (1) A screen that displays the workload for each process by color in a matrix, (2) A screen that displays the workload for each day, (3) A screen that displays the workload for each process, ( 4) The work planner sees and judges the screen that displays all the work of a certain process one day, (5) the screen that displays detailed information of the work, and (6) the screen that changes the work content. This can be achieved by interactively confirming the schedule plan, considering capacity measures for the part of the schedule plan where work is concentrated, and correcting the input data of the schedule system.

[Action]

(1) Daily workload display by process The workload is displayed by color in a matrix with the process as rows and the dates as columns, with the colors corresponding to the workload. This makes it possible to easily grasp the load state of the entire work. The work planner can confirm the contents of the process in which the work is concentrated on the all work display screen of (4) shown below. Also, the work planner determines whether or not the schedule is completed using this screen. An example of the screen is shown in FIG.

(2) Daily workload display Accurately display the workload of a process by day. This screen is displayed when a specific process is selected on the screen of (1). From this screen, the work planner determines whether the work should be done earlier or later. An example of the screen is shown in FIG.

(3) Workload display by process Accurately display the workload on a certain day for each process. This screen is displayed when a specific day is selected on the screen of (1). From this screen, the work planner decides whether to work on a holiday or the like when there is work that exceeds capacity in most of the processes. An example of the screen is shown in FIG.

(4) Displaying all work of a specific process on a specific day Display all work of a certain process on a certain day. This screen
It is displayed by selecting a specific day and a specific process on the screens of (1), (2), and (3). From this screen, the work planner can understand each work that is the content of the work load. Furthermore, it is possible to see which work is burdensome for this process. An example of the screen is shown in FIG.

(5) Work detail information display When a work is selected on the screen of (4), detailed information of the work is displayed. Detailed information includes work content, work time, product name, product delivery date, alternative process of this work, and the like. An example of the screen is shown in FIG. The work planner finally takes measures for ability based on this information.

(6) Change of work contents The work planner moves to this screen after deciding what kind of ability measures to take on the screen of (5). FIG. 7 shows an example of the screen. On this screen, if one of the capability countermeasure items such as subcontract ordering, overtime work, and increase of workers is selected, the input data of the schedule planning system and the work load corresponding thereto are changed.

By using the above six screens to interactively operate and visually appeal to see the work load of the entire production site to each work content, the work load can be grasped quickly. At the same time, by correcting the input data to the schedule planning system, it is possible to reduce the time required to create the schedule.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the work load display device will be described.
It will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the schedule planning system 8 reads the input data 7 of the schedule planning system, makes a schedule, and outputs it as schedule data 9. As the input data 7, the product name, the delivery date of the product, the date when the production can be started, the process,
Give work contents, work time, process capability, etc. On the contrary, the data output as the schedule data 9 is the input data plus the work date and time.

As a first screen, a daily work load display 1 (one embodiment is shown in FIG. 2) is displayed. To display this screen, read the process, work time, process capability, and work date and time from the schedule data 9, find the sum of work time for each process by day, and divide by the capability of that process Workload is calculated. Therefore, the matrix-shaped squares are filled with a color corresponding to the work load as shown in FIG. However, since the color cannot be painted in FIG. 2, it is represented by a letter. When the keys A to D corresponding to the process are pressed (step 11), the daily workload display 2 is displayed. Further, in the display of FIG. 2, when the keys 1 to 6 corresponding to the date are pressed, the process-specific work load display 3 is started. When the keys A to D and the keys 1 to 6 are pressed, the display shifts to the all work display 4 of the specific day specific process. As a result, it becomes possible to display the work, which is the content of the work load for each day, that is, a very detailed view from the overall view.

The second screen is a daily workload display 2 (one example is shown in FIG. 3). On this screen, what has been displayed in five stages in the above-mentioned daily workload display by color is displayed as a bar graph and accurate numbers. As a result, it can be seen that even the parts that are expressed in the same yellow color actually have quite large variations such as 60,75,50,58. Here, if you press the key of 1 to 6 corresponding to the date (step
12) Move to all work display 4 of specific day specific process. Also, E
Press key to return to the first screen.

The third screen is a work load display 3 for each process (fourth embodiment
(Shown in the figure). This screen is different from the screen of the second daily work load only in the cutting method.

The fourth screen is a total work display 4 of a specific day specific process (one embodiment is shown in FIG. 5). In this example, the capacity of this process is 400 minutes a day, but this day is allocated 500 minutes. The breakdown is as shown in the figure. Here, the work planner makes some measures for the ability.
For example, if you consider outsourcing a product outlet,
Press the 2 key.

Next, the screen of the detailed work information display 5 (one example is shown in FIG. 6), which is the fifth screen, is displayed. In this example, as the detailed work information, the name of the product, the process name, the work content, the work time, the delivery date of the product, the date when the production of this product can be started, and the work date and time given by the scheduling system are displayed. is doing. By looking at this information, the work planner can reconsider the capacity measures based on the subcontracting order as described above, or conversely decide which subcontracting place.

Next, press any key to automatically move to the next screen. Then, finally, a screen of work content change 6 (one example is shown in FIG. 7) which is the sixth screen is displayed. On this screen, when the work planner selects the ability countermeasure method with the keys A to D, the input data 7 corresponding thereto is automatically corrected. There are the following four capacity measures that the work planner can select. The work concerned is the process concerned (process A)
If you want to outsource the work without doing the above, select "Outsourcing order" in A. Also, the capacity of the process (400 minutes / day)
To increase the number of employees overtime, select “Overtime” in B, and then select one of 1, 2, 3, and 4 overtime hours with the key. Further, in the case of taking measures against the capacity of the process by increasing the number of personnel, select “Increase number of workers” in C and input the number of persons to be increased with the key. Further, when the work is changed to a process other than the process (process A), that is, process B or process D in this example, “process change” of D is selected. However,
Pressing the E key returns to the 4th screen without doing anything. Therefore, when ordering outsourcing, the process name is changed to "outsourcing" and the working time is set to a predetermined time. Further, when the process is changed, the process that can replace the drilling work of the process A is automatically displayed from the registered alternative process data 10. In this example, processes B and D are displayed instead of the process A defined at the beginning. When the 1 key is pressed, the process B is changed to, and when the 2 key is pressed, the process D is changed. The work planner selects from “Attachment order” of A, “Overtime work” of B, “Increase of workforce” of C, “Process change” of D, and “Cancel” of E displayed on the screen.
By selecting one of the capacity measures, the schedule input data 7 can be corrected correctly. That is, in the case of “A subcontract order” of A, the work process of the schedule input data 7 is changed to subcontracting. In the case of "overtime" in B, the capability of the process in the schedule plan input data 7 is increased by the amount of overtime. In the case of “Increase in number of workers” in C, the capacity is increased by an amount corresponding to the number of personnel whose capacity of the process in the schedule input data 7 has been increased. In the case of “process change” of D, the work process of the schedule input data 7 is changed to another process. Further, the data 9 of the currently displayed schedule is similarly corrected.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, the work planner can easily view the display of the work load of the entire process to the display of the information about each work step by step, and does not have to search for information from a huge amount of list. Work planning time can be shortened. By adding a function to correct the input data of the schedule planning system that was not available before, at the same time as displaying the work load, it is possible to reduce the time for correcting the input data and eliminate the erroneous correction of the input data. .
