METHOD FOR SUPPORTING WORK PLAN FORMATION

摘要

PURPOSE:To form a plan in consideration of a restriction condition or an objective function whose numerical expression is difficult by displaying a partial problem formed as the result of branch information together with the evaluation result of the objective function and interactivelly controlling the formation of the branch. CONSTITUTION:An arithmetic unit 2 inputs a plan forming problem and forms a plan satisfying a restriction condition by a branch limiting method. A plan formation part 3 in the arithmetic unit 2 forms a branch based upon the restriction condition stored in a storage device 6, a branch formation control part 5 finds out the evaluation value of the objective function of a partial problem generated as the result of branch formation and displays the evaluation value on a display device 1. An I/O terminal 7 inputs which branch is to be formed and the plan formation part 3 successively forms branches and displays the plan formation result on the display device 1 to interactivelly control the branch formation. Consequently, the plan can be formed in consideration of the restriction condition or the objective function whose numerical expression is difficult.
