A process model automatic generation systemreads work performance data from work performance dataand extracts a process flow for each product (). Next, a synthesis flow obtained by combining a plurality of process flows is created, and a production system between processes corresponding to a closed path is changed to a job shop to automatically determine a production system (). Finally, a process model in which a flow shop and a job shop are mixed is generated () and displayed on a display screen
