  • Patent number: 11119456
    Abstract: A production system includes an information processing device that carries out the processes of: (i) generating one or more production condition candidates each of which is a candidate for a production condition under which the product is produced; (ii) determining, using a prediction model, a prediction of a production result of a case in which the product is produced under each of the one or more production condition candidates; and (iii) generates, by evaluating a result of the prediction based on a predetermined evaluation standard, an evaluation of each of the one or more production condition candidates. The information processing device repeats the process (ii) while changing between the one or more production condition candidates, and determines a production condition candidate, the evaluation of which in the process (iii) satisfies a predetermined standard, to be the production condition under which the product is produced.
