Abstract: It is judged whether a first predicted value of an operation index obtained by inputting a scheduled change value of a manipulation parameter of a plant meets an operation criterion, and whether a second predicted value of the operation index obtained by inputting a virtual change value with a greater change amount from a current value than the scheduled change value to a prediction model meets the operation criterion. If it is judged that the first predicted value and the second predicted value meet the operation criterion, the scheduled change value is output as a command value of the manipulation parameter.
