At this time, the proximity degree of the shipment destination is calculated by using the code corresponding to the geographic position, the number of shipment destinations assigned to one transportation means is made constant, and a threshold is set for the transportation capacity of the transportation means to assign the shipment command data to the respective transportation means in two stages. Consequently, the pieces of shipment command data can be assigned to the transportation means so that the transportation efficiency will be high. Further, the articles are transported according to the above assignment to make lower the transportation cost since the transportation capacity of the transportation means in transportation can effectively be used.</p> |
