Terminal, program and inventory management method

A program which allows a computer to function as a terminal for managing parts inventory prepared for more than one unit of operating equipment, the program allowing the computer to function as a storage means and a control means;

• the storage means storing failure-predicted pattern information including information for specifying;
• a failure-predicted pattern which is a pattern of a value obtained from a sensor monitoring a state of the operating equipment and indicates that a failure is predicted as to a part used in the operating equipment, the part having a possibility of failure occurrence when the failure-predicted pattern appears, and a first failure rate indicating a probability that the part fails to operate properly when the failure is predicted, and
• the storage means further storing operating equipment information including information for specifying;
• the operating equipment, the part used in the operating equipment, a quantity of the part used in the operating equipment, and a second failure rate indicating the probability that the part fails to operate properly when no failure is predicted, wherein,
• the program allowing the control means to perform;
• a process for specifying from the failure-predicted pattern information, a failure-predicted pattern which is associated with a pattern of the value, being determined as abnormal when obtained from the sensor which monitors the state of the operating equipment,
• a process for specifying the part having a possibility of malfunction as a failure-predicted part according to the failure-predicted pattern being specified,
• a process for specifying as a failure-predicted quantity from the operating equipment information, being a quantity of the failure-predicted part used in the operating equipment that has the value obtained from the sensor being determined as abnormal,
• a process for specifying as a no-failure-predicted quantity from the operating equipment information, being the quantity of the part of the same sort as the failure-predicted part, used in operating equipment other than the operating equipment that has the value obtained from the sensor being determined as abnormal, among at least one unit of the operating equipment,
• a process for calculating a first required quantity that is required as an inventory, when the part corresponding to the failure-predicted quantity fails to operate properly at the first failure rate,
• a process for calculating a second required quantity that is required as the inventory, when the part corresponding to the no-failure-predicted quantity fails to operate properly at the second failure rate, and
• a process for calculating a required inventory quantity of the part that is of the same sort as the failure-predicted part, by adding the first required quantity and the second required quantity.

An inventory management method in which a terminal manages parts inventory prepared for more than one unit of operating equipment, the terminal comprising a storage section and a control section;

• the storage section storing failure-predicted pattern information including information for specifying;
• a failure-predicted pattern which is a pattern of a value obtained from a sensor monitoring a state of the operating equipment and indicates that a failure is predicted as to a part used in the operating equipment, the part having a possibility of failure occurrence when the failure-predicted pattern appears, and a first failure rate indicating a probability that the part fails to operate properly when the failure is predicted, and
• the storage section further storing operating equipment information including information for specifying;
• the operating equipment, the part used in the operating equipment, a quantity of the part used in the operating equipment, and a second failure rate indicating the probability that the part fails to operate properly when no failure is predicted, wherein,
• the control section comprising the steps of;
• specifying from the failure-predicted pattern information, a failure-predicted pattern which is associated with a pattern of the value being determined as abnormal when obtained from the sensor which monitors the state of the operating equipment,
• specifying the part having a possibility of malfunction as a failure-predicted part according to the failure-predicted pattern being specified,
• specifying as a failure-predicted quantity from the operating equipment information, being a quantity of the failure-predicted part used in the operating equipment that has the value obtained from the sensor being determined as abnormal,
• specifying as a no-failure-predicted quantity from the operating equipment information, being the quantity of the part of the same sort as the failure-predicted part, used in operating equipment other than the operating equipment that has the value obtained from the sensor being determined as abnormal, among at least one unit of the operating equipment,
• calculating a first required quantity that is required as an inventory, when the part corresponding to the failure-predicted quantity fails to operate properly at the first failure rate,
• calculating a second required quantity that is required as the inventory, when the part corresponding to the no-failure-predicted quantity fails to operate properly at the second failure rate, and
• calculating a required inventory quantity of the part that is of the same sort as the failure-predicted part, by adding the first required quantity and the second required quantity.
