Abstract

A system is provided for setting an appropriate delivery count rank expressing the delivery capability of a deliveryman. There is provided: a storage device that stores a delivery count rank for each deliveryman, a progress flag indicating whether or not each deliveryman is subject to a progress check, and a performance of each deliveryman in a designated period; and rank setting unit that calculates a total undelivered task count and an undelivered task rate on the basis of a total transmitted count and a total actual count included in the storage device, calculates a work attendance rate on the basis of a stipulated number of attendances and an actual number of attendances included in the storage device, and sets a delivery count rank for each deliveryman on the basis of the calculated total undelivered task count, undelivered task rate, work attendance rate, and a progress flag.

Claims

1. A system for setting a delivery count rank for delivering gas cylinders, comprising:

a storage device that stores deliveryman information for each deliveryman, delivery performance information for each deliveryman and predetermined period, and delivery performance history information for each deliveryman and predetermined period, the deliveryman information including at least a deliveryman code and a delivery count rank, the delivery performance information including at least the deliveryman code, a progress flag indicating whether or not each deliveryman is subject to a progress check, and a performance in a designated period, and the delivery performance history information including at least the deliveryman code, the performance in the designated period, and an old rank, the performance including a total transmitted count, a total actual count, a stipulated number of attendances, and an actual number of attendances; and

processor configured to;

set the old rank included in the delivery performance history information on the basis of the delivery count rank included in the deliveryman information;

set the performance included in the delivery performance history information on the basis of the performance included in the delivery performance information;

calculate a total undelivered task count and an undelivered task rate on the basis of the total transmitted count and the total actual count included in the delivery performance history information, calculate a work attendance rate on the basis of the stipulated number of attendances and the actual number of attendances included in the delivery performance history information, and set a delivery count rank included in the deliveryman information on the basis of the total undelivered task count, the undelivered task rate, the work attendance rate, and the progress flag included in the delivery performance history information;

specify a deliveryman in a blue zone on the basis of the total undelivered task count, the undelivered task rate, and the work attendance rate, and set the delivery count rank in the blue zone included in the deliveryman information;

specify a deliveryman in a yellow zone on the basis of the undelivered task rate, and determine the setting of the progress flag in the yellow zone included in the delivery performance information;

if the progress flag indicates that the deliveryman is not subject to a progress check, set the progress flag in the yellow zone included in the delivery performance information to a value indicating that the deliveryman is subject to a progress check;

if the progress flag indicates that the deliveryman is subject to a progress check, set the progress flag in the yellow zone included in the delivery performance information to a value indicating that the deliveryman is not subject to a progress check, and in addition, set the delivery count rank in the yellow zone included in the deliveryman information;

set the progress flag other than the specified deliveryman in the yellow zone included in the delivery performance information to a value indicating that the deliveryman is not subject to a progress check;

specify a deliveryman in a red zone on the basis of the undelivered task rate, and set the delivery count rank in the red zone included in the storage device included in the deliveryman information; and

in response to a delivery performance output instruction, output at least the deliveryman code, the delivery count rank and the old rank from the deliveryman information and the delivery performance history information.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the processor further configured to:

update the total transmitted count, the total actual count, and the actual number of attendances included in the delivery performance information;

in response to the generation of delivery schedule data per deliveryman, add to the total transmitted count a number of gas cylinders that a deliveryman should deliver on a delivery due date included in that delivery schedule data per deliveryman;

use delivery data to add to the total actual count a number of gas cylinders for which delivery was completed by a deliveryman on the delivery due date included in the delivery data, and

increment a value of the actual number of attendances in response to the updating of the total actual count.
