Abstract: An error input occurs in the meter indication value input of an LP gas meter. Whether the meter indication value input has an error input or not must be subjected to the determination by a responsible person. Since the meter indication value is used for delivery prediction for example, the business is enormously influenced by the error input. Thus, whether or not the meter indication value is a correct value is determined. When the inputted meter indication value is a correct value, then the meter indication value is stored in a predetermined data region as the latest meter indication value data. When the inputted meter indication value is a false value, the reentry of the meter indication value is prompted and the inputted meter indication value is cleared.

Abstract: In an LP gas delivery business, when the preparation of a delivery list for a next day delivery amount is followed by a delivery operation, a discrepancy is caused between the delivery list and a delivery record. On the other hand, the delivery due date is determined so as to avoid a gas shortage. The delivery prior to the delivery due date has no problem. Thus, the delivery list in the LP gas delivery business is prepared by setting, as data for a next day delivery amount, not data having a delivery due date of a next day but data after ? days (e.g., after 2 days).

Abstract: In a safety operation for LP gas, a safety inspector selects an inspection slip and determines whether an inspection item is necessary depending on the facility. Therefore, mistakes and omissions in the inspection content occur, and problems occur, such as visiting the actual site again to perform re-inspection. Furthermore, inspection slips that were manually filled are taken back to his or her office to input into a PC. Therefore, problems occur such as increases in workload due to erroneous entry of data and data re-entry, and time lags until inspection results are reflected in the safety management system. By reading a two-dimensional code attached to the main body of LP gas supply facility and consumption facility, the inspection slip (inspection items) related to each safety operation is downloaded to a mobile terminal in real-time at the operating sites, and inspection results are aggregated on a server by data communication.

Abstract: The timing for delivery of a LP gas cylinder depends on various factors such as the manner in which a customer uses gas. Thus, the timing cannot be set to a particular date. However, in order to maintain deliverymen's motivation/morale and to deal with the deliverymen's fatigue, leave schedules for the deliverymen need to be impartially created. The invention designates holidays for deliveryman data with the same delivery base and the same territory, determines whether the total number of designated holidays is equal to or larger than a predetermined number, and when the total number of designated holidays is smaller than the predetermined number, additionally designates holidays In accordance with a predetermined rule.

Abstract: In LP gas business, when an operation is performed based on an operation list pre-distributed to an operator's mobile terminal, erroneous operations may be performed due to, for example, erroneous input of an identification number of an operation target facility (a gas meter, a supply facility, or the like) or a time lag between the time of operation list distribution and the time of performance of the operation. When an operation target facility is identified on the operation list, a two-dimensional code attached to an operation target facility installed at an operation site is read to prevent misrecognition of the operation target facility. Furthermore, at this time, operation detail data is distributed in real time.
