Abstract: An article management support apparatus sets coordinates indicating a position of an observation point and an observation direction from the observation point in a space including article storage spaces, acquires coordinates of an article picking opening of an article storage space within a predetermined range with respect to the position of the observation point and the observation direction, acquires information on the article stored in the article storage space corresponding to the article picking opening for which the coordinates are acquired, transforms the acquired coordinates of the article picking opening into coordinates on an image seen in the observation direction from the position of the observation point, generates an image for displaying the information on the article stored in the article storage space corresponding to the article picking opening for which the coordinates are acquired in association with a position of the transformed coordinates, and displays the generated image.

Abstract: An inventory management apparatus including a processor and a memory. The processor stores shipping record data that stores the actual results of the shipment amount of the article, possible variation factor data in which variation factors affecting the shipment amount are set in advance, and a user forecasting model from the selected variation factor and shipment record data. The processor selects a variation factor from the possible variation factor data and generates a recommended forecasting model from the user forecasting model and the shipment result data. The processor calculates the forecasted value of the shipping amount of the articles from the user forecasting model as the first forecasted value and calculates the forecasted value of the shipping amount of the articles from the recommended forecasting model as the second forecasted value, and calculates the degree of effect on the first and second forecasted shipping amount for each variation factors.
