Abstract: Conventionally, there is a technique to conduct a cause analysis in which a single evaluation axis, such as a performance time, is used to configure a problem point network. However, in particular, in a system to visualize a management problem in which problems are intricately-intertwined with one another, information on multiple evaluation axes, collected from a business system, are utilized, and units are different for respective evaluation axes. Therefore, it is difficult to simply specify a cause of problem occurrence. In view of this situation, an object of the present invention is to extract and present factor which has a significant influence on the problem occurrence.

Abstract: Provided is a supply chain evaluation system, in which supply chain planning is formulated according to a simulation time control, and a flow of physical distribution from procurement via production and shipment through a client is simulated based on the supply chain planning, which are repeated during a simulation time. In the supply chain evaluation system, after the supply chain planning and after a physical distribution calculation processing, an inventory volume is calculated for each problem, and presented along with inventory transition. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain effects of SCM measures through a simulation not only in a form of an inventory waveform but also by outputting an inventory volume after calculating the inventory volume for each inventory occurrence factor (problem structure).
