Management apparatus, prediction method, and prediction program

Abstract

A mechanism of predicting a change in process values with respect to a control target and using a prediction result is provided. A management apparatus includes a prediction model unit, with respect to which an input-output relationship between multivariate control values at a time T with respect to a control target and multivariate process values at a time T+ΔT with respect to the control target has been learned; and an optimization model unit configured to seek multivariate control values of the time T that minimize respective differences between the multivariate process values at the time T+ΔT output from the prediction model unit and corresponding target values, and control the control target using the multivariate control values of the time T that have been sought. The prediction model unit is configured to, in response to a request from an agent, predict multivariate process values of a time after an elapse of a time ΔT with respect to the control target in a case where the control target is controlled with designated control values, and output the multivariate process values that have been predicted to the agent, the agent managing the prediction model unit.
