Abstract: An object of the invention is to create a delivery plan in consideration of loadability for a package when the package has a new shape or a shape of the package changes during a delivery process. A delivery plan creating system includes: a stowage rule generation unit that generates stowage rules using delivery performance data including records of a type of a delivery vehicle and a type of a package to be delivered by the delivery vehicle and stores the stowage rules in a stowage rule storage unit; a delivery plan calculation unit that estimates a scheme of the package to be loaded on the delivery vehicle and creates a delivery plan using the scheme when the package to be loaded on each delivery vehicle in the scheme matches one of the stowage rules; and a display unit that displays the delivery plan.

Abstract: A delivery plan creating device includes: a delivery request acquisition unit that acquires a delivery change request; a change instruction deadline calculation unit that calculates, based on a delivery time range contained in the delivery change request, a change instruction deadline representing a deadline that can instruct a change in a delivery plan; a storage unit that stores conditional calculation record information in which a delivery condition set at a time of creating an executed delivery plan is in association with calculation time required for creating the executed delivery plan; a search unit that selects a delivery condition set similar to the delivery change request from the conditional calculation record information; and a calculation starting time point calculation unit that calculates a calculation starting time point by counting the calculation time in association with the selected delivery condition set backward from the change instruction deadline.

Abstract: A transportation planning apparatus calculates work time included in a transportation work plan. The transportation planning apparatus holds (i) order information showing a plurality of orders each including a delivery work and a pickup work, a site where the delivery work is performed, and a site where the pickup work is performed, and (ii) work time information of the delivery work, the pickup work, and a delivery and pickup work when regarded as one work. A transportation work order plan is generated showing a performing order of the delivery work and the pickup work that are included in the plurality of orders, sets the delivery work and the pickup work that are continuous at the same site, and specifies work time of the delivery work, the pickup work, and the delivery and pickup work that are included in the transportation work order plan with reference to the work time information.

Abstract: A transportation planning system provides a transportation plan for reducing at least a plan change amount in response to a variation in a transportation amount and a change in a transportation resource. A storage unit stores transportation amount information on an article based on an order, transportation resource information on the article, and transportation resource arrangement plan information indicating a preset transportation resource arrangement plan.

Abstract: A transport planning system that performs efficiently a delivery without lowering a load factor of each vehicle is provided. The invention is directed to a transport plan generating method using an information processing apparatus including an input device, a processor, and an output device. The method is characterized by generating a delivery route of a commodity by a delivery unit from a forwarding source to a forwarding destination; assuming a moving warehouse that is temporarily installed and movable when there are the plurality of forwarding sources; changing the delivery route so that the commodity is delivered to the forwarding destination via the moving warehouse; and generating a movement instruction with respect to the delivery unit and the moving warehouse so as to realize the changed delivery route.

Abstract: A joint delivery planning apparatus includes: an information acquiring unit that acquires order information and consignor information on consignors; a constraint condition setting unit that sets a plurality of constraint conditions for each of the consignors by changing constraint conditions of each of the consignors; a delivery planning unit that generates a joint delivery plan for each of the constraint conditions of each of the consignors, using the order information, the consignor information, and the plurality of constraint conditions of each of the consignors; a contribution degree calculating unit that calculates a contribution degree of the consignor with respect to a total delivery cost indicated by the corresponding joint delivery plan for each of the constraint conditions; and an output processing unit that outputs the contribution degree for each of the constraint conditions of each of the consignors.

Abstract: When a comment and a solution thereagainst are described in any one of a review document, a minute and a pending issue list, a reflecting unit reflects the comment and solution upon a corresponding portion of the document associated with the contents of the comment and solution. When, in connection with the review document, minute and pending issue list to be prepared during review, a specified comment or solution is selected on an editing screen of a system for editing each of the review document, minute and pending issue list, information about positions at which the comment and solution are post-scribed is acquired from a comment-solution management table and displayed on the editing screen of a associated system.
