Abstract: A processor executes the following processes. An obtainment process obtains a first number of lines, which represents a number of lines that are deleted after changing, among lines that pass through the same line route. An extraction process extracts a line for which a first demand, which is accommodated before and after changing, does not exist. The extraction process further extracts lines in descending order of a band of the first demand from among lines including first demands until a total number of extracted lines reaches the first number of lines when the number of the extracted lines is smaller than the first number of lines. Then, a fixation process fixes a first demand accommodated in a line that has not been extracted. A deletion process deletes the extracted lines. A determination process determines an order of changing line routes of demands.
