A plan parameter obtaining an optimal result between a plurality of software pieces that are linkingly operated is calculated. A value chain plan linking method that uses a value chain plan linking apparatus that combines and executes a plurality of software pieces according to a task. At least any one of the plurality of software pieces uses, as an input parameter, an output parameter obtained from any one of other software pieces included in the plurality of software pieces. The value chain plan linking apparatus executes a different solution requiring step of calculating a plurality of the output parameters in each of the plurality of software pieces, and a displaying step of displaying, as an overall plan, the output parameter obtaining a best key performance indicator value in the entire value chain according to a combination of the input and output parameters of the plurality of software pieces.

A parallel distributed processing control system used in production distribution planning includes: a storage unit storing step information of steps constituting a production distribution process of a product, CPU information of CPUs that calculate a value of a simulation result for the step, and a constraint value in the production distribution process; a divided model generation unit generating a divided model by grouping the steps; a CPU allocation unit allocating the divided model to the plurality of CPUs; an engine execution unit enabling the CPU to calculate the value for the step constituting the divided model; and a constraint monitoring unit determining whether the value satisfies a condition specified by the constraint value. An output information generation unit generates result information using the value satisfying the condition; and the CPU allocation unit allocates the divided model so that processing loads of the plurality of CPUs are equalized.
