The integrated display output interface generates, based on unit operation data, a unit operation band for each device among a plurality of devices, the unit operation band representing an operation intention of an operator and being arranged in a time series. The integrated display output interface generates, based on process data, a process trend chart for each device, the process trend chart representing a change over time in a process value. The integrated display output interface generates an integrated display that displays the unit operation band and the process trend chart associated by time. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An event process data integration and analysis apparatus comprising: an event data analyzer including a processing apparatus, the event data analyzer configured to extract unit operation data based on an event log including a history of an operation of an operator;
