20090083127 | ANALYSIS APPARATUS, PROGRAM AND ANALYSIS METHOD - An analysis apparatus includes a needs relation definition unit to receive input of relation among needs for a product, worth to satisfy the needs and values of selection items for selecting the worth through an input unit and a needs estimation unit to prepare a questionnaire which receives selection of selection order for combination of inputted needs and selection of values for judging to be satisfactory and dissatisfactory for inputted worth and calculate strength of the needs from totalized result of the questionnaire. | 03-26-2009 |
20090094007 | SYSTEM FOR DEFINING SIMULATION MODEL - An issue to be settled by the present invention is to define a simulation model in accordance with the structure of a casual relation easy to be understood by human and to shorten greatly a simulation program development period. A simulation program is automatically generated by extracting, as nodes, specific items such as phenomenon, events and targets of constituent elements of economy, society or the like regarded as a system, coupling the nodes with arcs to define the structure of the casual relation, and defining a variable necessary for calculating metrics and a calculation formula therefor, relative to a simulation model inheriting the defined structure. | 04-09-2009 |
20110040659 | TRANSPORTATION PLANNING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE SAME - A transportation planning system comprises a first transportation mode and a second transportation mode having a longer transportation time than the first transportation mode. The transportation planning system determines a first transportation amount transported by the first transportation mode and, after the first transportation amount has been determined, determines a second transportation amount transported by the second transportation mode, wherein: the first transportation amount is an amount obtained by subtracting, from a demand amount prediction value at a future time point when the transportation time from a supply source to a supply destination by the first transportation mode elapses, a stock plan amount at the future time point and an amount of goods arriving at the supply destination by the second transportation mode; and the second transportation amount is a base demand amount that is part of a demand amount prediction value at a future time point when the transport time by the second transportation mode elapses. | 02-17-2011 |
20110208555 | PRODUCTION PLAN MAKING PROGRAM, DEVICE, AND METHOD - A production plan enabling suppression of occurrence of excess stock is made. A shipping request representing the requested amount of shipping for each shipping request week is received. Among the shipping weeks of the shipping requests, the furthest future shipping request week is handled as the furthest future shipping week, and the amounts of shipping of shipping weeks near the present time are determined sequentially from the amount of shipping of the furthest future shipping week. For the shipping requests after the shipping week n for which the amount of shipping is to be set, the order setting time which is the time of period till the products are delivered to the shipping destination is determined. The allocation order, 1, 2, . . . is determined for each of the shipping requests of the unset shipping so that the longer the order setting time is, the higher the order of allocating shipping request is. In the allocation order, the requested amounts of shipping for the shipping requests of the unset shipping are allocated sequentially to the shipping week n until the amounts of shipping reach the production capability ( | 08-25-2011 |
20110288670 | DEVICE FOR DETERMINING BUILD-TO-ORDER PRODUCTION PROCESS, PROGRAM, SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING BUILD-TO-ORDER PRODUCTION PROCESS, AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING BUILD-TO-ORDER PRODUCTION PROCESS - A build-to-order production process is determined in consideration of magnitude of demand. A lead time calculating section ( | 11-24-2011 |
20130268327 | PROCUREMENT QUALITY IMPROVING SYSTEM - Information that specifically points out quality problems in manufacturing processes can be provided to a supplier, thereby providing techniques capable of improving procurement quality. A present procurement quality improving system | 10-10-2013 |
20130275338 | INVESTMENT PLAN PLANNING APPARATUS, INVESTMENT PLAN PLANNING METHOD, AND INVESTMENT PLAN PLANNING PROGRAM - An investment plan planning apparatus being a computer apparatus that evaluates a fund in hand and an investment effect of the fund in hand to estimate an investment plan relating to product production, comprising an input unit that receives information from a user to store in a storage unit, the storage unit stores at least prediction information related to a period for debt collection from a customer, prediction information related to a period for debt payment to a supplier, actual sales information of a product, demand information predicted for the product, and actual purchase information of items and services required for product production, received by the input unit from a user, and a computing unit executing the processes of identifying a collection period of accounts receivable related to a predetermined product from the actual sales information of the product, demand information of the product, and a prediction information of the debt collection period related to a customer of the product, identifying a payment period of accounts payable generated at a time of production of the product from an actual purchase information and the demand information related to the product, and calculating a cash flow by subtracting an accounts payable payment amount from an accounts receivable collection amount of each period, comparing movement of the calculated cash flow for a case when the cash flow is not used for investment with an investment amount defined by a user through the input unit, identifying as an investable term a term when an amount of the cash flow exceeds the investment amount, calculating fund in hand and an investment effect when the fund in hand is invested in a user-specified investment target for the investable term, and identifying an investment period causing a maximum investment effect and an investment amount therefor, and displaying the cash flow movement and pieces of information of the investment effect on a display unit. | 10-17-2013 |
20140172494 | MULTI-BASE INVENTORY DEPLOYMENT COMPUTATION DEVICE - The invention displays multiple inventory period combinations, as multiple multi-base inventory deployment proposals having assessed values for items such as cash flow and inventory value, each of said assessed values being within a range entered by an inventory deployment decision-maker. For each product included in request information, the invention finds a minimum period (the total lead time from when a given item leaves the applicable warehouse until the item reaches the base that sells the applicable product) and a maximum period (the total lead time needed for all component parts configuring the item to reach the warehouse, added to the minimum period), for each item configuring said product and each warehouse base. The invention computes product-specific inventory period combination information for each warehouse base, and creates inventory period combination information by combining said product-specific inventory period combination information for each product type. The invention performs an inventory management calculation for the inventory period combination information, computes the value of an assessment index, and compares said value to the maximum value thereof. The invention selects an inventory period combination having an assessment index value within a permitted range, as a candidate display proposal. For the candidate display proposal, the invention computes a display evaluation value for each display proposal evaluation item by multiplying a display evaluation coefficient by an inventory value. | 06-19-2014 |
