Product input plan developing device, product input plan developing method, and product input plan developing program

A product-input-plan developing method for developing product input plans including an input order of a plurality of products to a manufacture line that includes a branch and a merge, and paths along which the plurality of products individually flow in the manufacture line, the product input plan developing method by which a computer executes process of:

• optimizing product input plans for k number of products for which a product input plan is developable without causing information explosion from among the plurality of products to be input to the manufacture line;
• and
• determining adoption of product input plans for first n (n<k) number of products from among the optimized product input plans,
• wherein the optimization is repeatedly executed and the determination is repeatedly determined for a product for which adoption of the product input plan is not determined by the determination.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process for developing product input plans including an input order of a plurality of products to a manufacture line that includes a branch and a merge, and paths along which the plurality of products individually flow in the manufacture line, the program execute a process, the process comprising:

• optimizing product input plans for k number of products for which a product input plan is developable without causing information explosion from among the plurality of products to be input to the manufacture line;
• and
• determining adoption of product input plans for first n (n<k) number of products from among the optimized product input plans,
• wherein the optimization is repeatedly executed and the determination is repeatedly executed for a product for which adoption of the product input plan is not determined by the determination.
