<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for supporting quick planning of the supply schedule of components predicted to be running out. <P>SOLUTION: In an alternate physical distribution route presenting apparatus 1, when correction for increasing the production quantity of a unit period for which components can not be supplied in time by a normal physical distribution route even when the components are ordered in a hurry is desired for a production schedule stored in a production schedule database 6, an alternate physical distribution route retrieval means 16 retrieves a physical distribution information database 12, retrieves an alternate physical distribution route not generating running out components in a component kind and the unit period for which the generation of the running out components is predicted, and outputs the alternate physical distribution route for making the desired correction of the production schedule possible. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
