Provided is an evaluation device which stores base information, base destination information, demand information, a route service tariff, and a route delivery tariff in a memory device. The evaluation device uses the base information, the delivery destination information, the demand information, and the route service tariff to create delivery course information relating to a route service which includes a delivery course along which a delivery vehicle delivers a quantity of cargo delivered to a delivery destination from a base to the delivery destination by a route service and a cost per delivery course, uses the base information, the delivery destination information, the demand information, and the route delivery tariff to create delivery course information relating to route delivery which includes a delivery course along which a delivery vehicle delivers a quantity of cargo delivered to a delivery destination from a base to the delivery destination by the route delivery and delivery cost of the delivery course, determines a delivery schedule by extracting the delivery course information from each of the bases configuring a combination of the bases for each combination of a plurality of the bases from a set of the delivery course information based on the delivery cost included in the delivery course information, and outputs a delivery schedule of each combination of the plurality of bases.

Evaluation device, evaluation method, and evaluation program

A delivery plan creating device includes: a delivery request acquisition unit that acquires a delivery change request; a change instruction deadline calculation unit that calculates, based on a delivery time range contained in the delivery change request, a change instruction deadline representing a deadline that can instruct a change in a delivery plan; a storage unit that stores conditional calculation record information in which a delivery condition set at a time of creating an executed delivery plan is in association with calculation time required for creating the executed delivery plan; a search unit that selects a delivery condition set similar to the delivery change request from the conditional calculation record information; and a calculation starting time point calculation unit that calculates a calculation starting time point by counting the calculation time in association with the selected delivery condition set backward from the change instruction deadline.

Delivery plan creating device and delivery plan creating method

A transportation planning apparatus calculates work time included in a transportation work plan. The transportation planning apparatus holds (i) order information showing a plurality of orders each including a delivery work and a pickup work, a site where the delivery work is performed, and a site where the pickup work is performed, and (ii) work time information of the delivery work, the pickup work, and a delivery and pickup work when regarded as one work. A transportation work order plan is generated showing a performing order of the delivery work and the pickup work that are included in the plurality of orders, sets the delivery work and the pickup work that are continuous at the same site, and specifies work time of the delivery work, the pickup work, and the delivery and pickup work that are included in the transportation work order plan with reference to the work time information.

Transportation planning apparatus, transportation planning system, and transportation planning method

The invention is directed to a delivery plan making system that makes a delivery plan of articles, the system including: a storage unit that stores a restriction condition for making a delivery plan and cost information used for calculating a delivery cost based on the delivery plan; a delivery plan making and cost calculating unit that makes a delivery plan before alleviation of the restriction condition to satisfy the restriction condition and calculates a delivery cost of the delivery plan before the alleviation based on the cost information; and a restriction alleviating unit that alleviate the restriction condition to generate a restriction alleviation plan, wherein the delivery plan making and cost calculating unit further makes a delivery plan after alleviation of the restriction condition so as to satisfy the restriction alleviation plan and calculates a delivery cost of the delivery plan after the alleviation based on the cost information, and outputs the restriction alleviation plan if the delivery cost of the delivery plan after the alleviation is lower than the delivery cost of the delivery plan before the alleviation.

Delivery plan making system and delivery plan making method

A production plan is created so as to minimize risk of demand variations. Forecasted values of amounts of requests are entered for each different item of products, markets, dates, past accuracy of demand forecasts, and order achievements at the time when the plan is created. Scenario information is created in which assumable amounts of request for each different item of the products, markets, and dates and probabilities at which the amounts of requests agree with actual amounts of requests are defined. Management indexes are found from the amount of stockout and amount of stock calculated in each different scenario, based on the scenario information, target values of the management indexes, and information on strongpoints. An amount of production that maximizes the achievement ratios of the management ratios to their targets within the ranges of supplied materials and within the range of the production capacity is calculated by an optimization algorithm.
