Abstract
Disclosed is a design support system capable of fully keeping tabs on the components that can be affected by the design change of a given component. The system includes a component name database; a relevant information database that at least includes, in relation to each failure event, the name of tier-one component having failed and the name of tier-two component possibly affecting the failure of the tier-one component; a component network generation unit that, based on the data stored in the component name database and the relevant information database, generates data of a component network covering names of components as well as relevance between components; a component network database storing the component network data; and a component network diagram display control unit that reads data from the component network database and causes a screen display unit of a computer to display a component network diagram based on the read data.
