A visualization system creates a first time axis associated with a start time of a first process and a second time axis associated with an end time of the first process or a start time of a second process subsequent to the first process such that a perpendicular line to the first time axis extends from a time point on the first time axis and intersects the second time axis at a time point thereon, the time point on the second time axis being after the lapse of a time period since the time point on the first time axis, the time period being determined from a planned value of a processing period of the first process or a planned value of the start time of the second process. The visualization system disposes the time axes associated with respective processes and a line segment, and displays them on a display apparatus.

Visualization system

A visualization system includes: a first creation section configured to create, for each product manufacturing unit, a line segment connecting a start or end time of a first step to a start or end time of a subsequent second step; a second creation section configured to identify, based on a change log of a step characteristic factor at each manufacturing step, any change in step characteristic factor observed at the first and second steps, and to create a display object representing magnitude of the change in step characteristic factor or including a region representing an attribute of the changed step characteristic factor; and a display control section configured to cause: to display a line segment representing the time axis, created by the first creation section, and the display object, and to display the display objects over positions of the start or end times on time axes of their associated steps.
