  • Publication number: 20250086018
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus obtains system data representing a system including first objects that each undergo a state change in response to an operation and second objects that each undergo a state change in response to the state change of one or more first objects related thereto and assigning each second object a cost that changes in response to the state change. The information processing apparatus determines, for each second object, the number of unchanged first objects among the related first objects, a change in total cost caused by operating the unchanged first objects, and an index value that increases as the number of unchanged first objects decreases and increases as the change increases. The information processing apparatus generates schedule data representing an operation sequence for the first objects such that the second objects undergo the state change preferentially in descending order of index values.

  • Publication number: 20240062148
    Abstract: A computer acquires candidate data including operation plan candidates, each indicating a candidate of at least one location by which a transporter transporting a load periodically stops and a time when the transporter stops by each of the locations, at least one operation plan candidate being defined by using a time included in a period of one cycle and a time not included in the period. The computer determines, when first and second operation plan candidates include a common location, whether transshipment of the load at the common location is possible by shifting a second time included in the second operation plan candidate by an integer multiple of the period and comparing the shifted second time with a first time included in the first operation plan candidate. The computer searches for at least two operation plan candidates for transporting the load, based on a determination result of the transshipment.
