Abstract: In a retrieval method executed by a retrieval device in which a storage unit holds enterprise information, classification code information, and item keyword information corresponding to an enterprise and an item of a particle supplied by the enterprise, at least one of a keyword indicative of a business of a first enterprise or a classification code of an item registered by the first enterprise is input. At least one item keyword is extracted corresponding to at least one of an enterprise similar to the first enterprise or an item similar to the item registered by the first enterprise, based on at least one of the keyword indicating the business of the first enterprise or the classification code of the item registered by the first enterprise, by referring to the enterprise information, the classification code information, and the item keyword information. Then, the extracted at least one item keyword is output.

Abstract: A supply chain management system is configured to create supply chain network information including information on a directed graph representing a multi-tiered supply chain network including tiers upstream and downstream of the target enterprise, acquire risk information on the multi-tiered supply chain network, detect, in the directed graph, a risk occurrence node influenced by a risk and a node of the target enterprise influenced by a defect of product supply at the risk occurrence node, search for a substituting node candidate for the risk occurrence node in a node group including a node of an enterprise outside the directed graph based on an item of the risk occurrence node, and present information on a change plan of the multi-tiered supply chain network obtained by adding the substituting node candidate to the directed graph.

Abstract: A sourcing support system comprises: a weight calculation unit configured to calculate the name of the related parts group related to the target part when target part specifying information is input; calculate the name of the related parts group; and calculate the evaluation index weights of the evaluation indexes of the supply capacity; and a score calculation unit configured to calculate a name of a candidate supplier who can purchase the target part; calculate the evaluation index score of the evaluation index of supply capacity and the evaluation index of soundness for the calculated names of the candidate suppliers; calculate the sum of the products of the evaluation index weight and the evaluation index score, with respect to the evaluation index of supply capacity as a supply capacity score; calculate the sum of the evaluation index score S of the evaluation index of soundness as the soundness score.

Abstract: This invention provides a technology to support decision making in doing stock planning across a supply chain.

Abstract: There is provided a value chain planning apparatus for a value chain from material procurement to sales of a product in which at least two or more business entities participate. The value chain planning apparatus includes an agent recruitment unit that recruits an execution module that is an agent that realizes a task included in the value chain, an agent registration unit that registers the execution module as the agent when receiving an application including the execution module, a plan preparation unit that executes the execution module for two or more tasks included in the value chain, performs a simulation of executing the task, and measures a KPI, and a reward payment processing unit that pays a reward corresponding to an execution result to the executed execution module.

Abstract: The supply chain management apparatus includes: an input unit that receives input information indicating a change in market conditions; a storage unit that stores supply chain information in which constituent companies of a supply chain, T&Cs information in which T&Cs of each of the constituent companies of the supply chain is registered, and a condition for a key performance indicator which should be satisfied, the condition for a key performance indicator being set for each of the constituent companies; a T&Cs calculation unit that, when the input information is received, calculates a supply chain plan corresponding to the change in the market conditions indicated by the input information based on a predetermined calculation method, and when a key performance indicator calculated based on the supply chain plan does not meet the condition for the key performance indicator, changes the T&Cs so that the key performance indicator is optimal.

Abstract: To divide a request content according to QCD and to present a combination of outsourcees. A business outsourcing management device, including: a division plan derivation unit configured to derive a plurality of division plans in which a business related to manufacturing a product is divided into a plurality of processes; an evaluation unit configured to extract and assign a company capable of responding to a requirement of the processes for each division plan and evaluate the division plans according to a predetermined index value; and an outsourcee determination unit configured to determine a business outsourcee according to a division plan with a high evaluation among the division plans.
