SCHEDULING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND SCHEDULING MANAGEMENT METHOD
First Claim
1. A scheduling management system to generate a work schedule containing a plurality of work targets,wherein the scheduling management system includes a computer, and a plurality of terminal devices coupled to the computer,wherein the work targets are classified into work groups including at least one work target,wherein the computer includes:
- a storage unit that retains position information for the work target, a work schedule for the work target, and work results sent from the terminal device;
a calculation unit that calculates the cost of work for the work target based on the position information, the work schedule, and the work results;
a decision unit that decides if reorganization of the work schedule is needed or not based on the position information, the work schedule, and the work results;
a schedule generator unit that generates a work schedule based on the decision results from the decision unit and the cost calculated by the calculation unit,wherein the terminal device includes;
a display unit that displays the work schedule sent from the computer;
an operating unit that enters the work results; and
a communication unit that sends the work results to the computer,wherein the decision unit finds the progress of the work by comparing the work schedule with the work results and decides if reorganizing of the work schedule is needed or not based on the degree of divergence between the work schedule and the progress status of the work,wherein the calculation unit calculates the cost for a unified work group formed from the work groups, for each combination of work groups when the decision unit decides that reorganization of the work schedule is needed, andwherein the schedule generator unit compares the calculated costs and reorganizes the work schedule by unifying the work groups based on results from the cost comparison.

Abstract
A scheduling management system including a computer and a terminal device, and further containing a calculation unit to calculate the cost of work on the work target; a decision unit to decide if reorganization of the work schedule is needed or not; and a schedule generator unit to generate the work schedule; and in which the decision unit finds the progress of the work by comparing the work schedule with the work results, and decides if reorganization of the work schedule is needed based on the degree of divergence between the work schedule and the work progress; and the calculation unit calculates the work group cost generated by unifying the work groups for the combination of the work groups; and the schedule generator unit reorganizes the work schedule by comparing the calculated costs, and unifies the work groups based on results from the cost comparison.

10. A scheduling management method to generate a work schedule including at least one work target,
the scheduling management system including a computer, and a plurality of terminal devices coupled to the computer, the work targets being classified into work groups, and the computer including a processor to execute the program and a memory to store the program, the scheduling management method comprising: -
a first step of accepting the entry of work results for the work schedule by the processor; a second step of finding the work schedule progress by comparing the work results entered into the terminal device with the work schedule by the processor; a third step of deciding whether reorganizing of the work schedule is needed or not by the processor, based on the degree of divergence between the work schedule and the work progress; a fourth step of calculating the cost of the unified work group formed from the work groups for each combination of work groups by the processor when decided in the third step that reorganizing of the work schedule is needed; a fifth step of comparing the calculated costs by the processor; a sixth step of determining the combination of work groups for unification by the processor, based on results from the cost comparison; and a seventh step of reorganizing the work schedule by unifying the work groups by the processor, based on the combinations that were determined. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
