PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a merchandize flow control system capable of setting a substantial, optimum transport path from the real-time information about the load of an automatic warehouse, number of work items in standby, and the share of the transporting facility. SOLUTION: The merchandize flow control system (MCS) is to calculate the anticipated transporting time from the starting place (Source Node) to the arriving place (Destination Node) and select the optimum transport path, and includes a transport command management part to conduct the management upon receiving the layout information and the real-time working information about the load of the automatic warehouse grouped by unit links and the number of works in standby grouped by unit links and an optimum path production part which receives the layout information of the transport command management part and the real-time working information in a certain cyclic period and calculates the anticipated transporting time through modeling, and on the basis of the result therefrom, selects the transport path having the minimum anticipated transporting time as the optimum transport path.
