  • Patent number: 11656611
    Abstract: A production plan creation device includes a processor configured to receive, in a case of receiving a modification request to add a new task to an existing plan including plural tasks performed to produce a product using resources, a retention condition for retaining the plan for a task included in the existing plan, and modify the existing plan into a plan in which the plural tasks and the new task are performed using the resources while accounting for the retention condition and content of the new task.

  • Publication number: 20220019953
    Abstract: A production plan creation device includes a processor configured to acquire information about multiple tasks performed to produce a product using resources, determine a provisional order of two or more tasks among the multiple tasks while accounting for a predetermined condition for performing the multiple tasks, create a provisional plan in which resources are assigned in an order obtained by correcting the provisional order to account for the condition, and create a candidate plan on a basis of an evaluation of the provisional plan.
