<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a device and a program for allocating a packing box capable of allocating the packing box best-suited for use in shipping and recovering a substitute product. <P>SOLUTION: The packing box best-suited for use in shipping and recovering a substitute product is automatically allocated so that when the substitute product is lent, a product for maintenance which is to be withdrawn can be packed, and so that the packing box of the size capable of packing the substitute product is selected. Even if the substitute product cannot be packed while the product for maintenance can be packed, the packing box of the optimal size capable of packing the substitute product is selected and allocated to reduce the number of packing boxes needed for stocking and shipping, while improving the efficiency of stocking and shipping, and contributing to cost reduction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
