Abstract: The present invention includes: a condition information acquisition unit (131) that acquires, for each facility (201) in a facility group (200), a plurality of pieces of condition information that indicate a condition of the corresponding facility (201); a current failure risk calculation unit (132) that calculates, for each of the facilities (201), a current facility failure risk by using a plurality of pieces of the condition information; a future failure risk estimation unit (133) that estimates, for each of the facilities (201), a future facility failure risk by using the current facility failure risk; a maintenance merit calculation unit (136) that calculates, for each of the facilities (201), a maintenance merit based on a reduction amount of a facility stop prediction time based on the future facility failure risk and based on a maintenance prediction time based on the future facility failure risk; and an optimal maintenance timing setting unit (137) that sets an optimal maintenance timing of the facil

Abstract: For each of tasks performed in an operation of manufacturing equipment, a proficiency of a worker with respect to a task to be performed is obtained from a proficiency DB (120) storing proficiencies of workers with respect to the tasks. A guidance base time (314) determined based on a manufacturing schedule is controlled corresponding to the proficiency of the worker, a guidance control time (334) corresponding to the proficiency of the worker is determined, and guidance is outputted at the guidance control time (334). The proficiency of the worker with respect to the task is corrected based on task record information (340) including a task content and a task time of a task performed by the worker and on the guidance control time (334), and the proficiency of the worker with respect to the task stored in the proficiency DB (120) is updated.

Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires operation process data (including first process data operable by an operator and second process data different from the first process data) of a manufacturing facility from a facility management apparatus. A search unit searches past operation process data similar to current operation process data based on the first or second process data. A search unit searches action data related to the past operation process data searched by the search unit from action data determined by an action determination unit based on the first process data. An evaluation unit uses the second process data to evaluate the action data searched by the search unit. As a result, the operator can determine what kind of an operation related to an operation of the manufacturing facility should be performed in the future.
