Abstract
An article-storage simulation device includes an acquisition unit that acquires a size of each of the plurality of articles and a size of the storage container. A simulator determines the number of storage containers to be used for storing the articles and a number of articles to be stored by calculation. The calculation uses the acquired size of the articles and the acquired size of the container. The simulator (i) places the article in the container, (ii) determines whether a next article can be placed in the container after the article is placed, and (iii) in a case where the simulator determines that the next article can be placed, places the next article in the container after the article is placed and in a case where the simulator determines that the next article cannot be placed, adds a next container to be used for storing the next article.
