  • Publication number: 20240144148
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for facilitating evaluation of a relationship between persons in work. An information processing device according to one embodiment includes: an acquisition unit that acquires an achievement value for each work representing an achievement of each work obtained when a plurality of workers is combined and allocated to the work; a calculation unit that calculates an evaluation value for each work by comparing the achievement value for each work with a reference value; a determination unit that determines quality of a relationship between the plurality of workers based on the evaluation value for each work; and a setting unit that sets, based on a result of the determination, a relationship value numerically representing the quality of the relationship between the plurality of workers.

  • Publication number: 20230281273
    Abstract: A reliability determination system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a measurement unit, a determination unit, and a storage unit. The measurement unit measures a movement of a center of gravity of an operator who inputs data. The determination unit determines the reliability of the input data using a result of the measurement of the movement of the center of gravity of the operator inputting the data. The storage unit stores the reliability in association with the input data.
