Line designing device and line designing method

A line designing method executed by a line designing device including a calculation unit and a storage unit,

• the storage unit holding facility information indicating a specification of each module, process design information indicating a component for manufacturing a product, work on the component, and a module used for the work, standard module information indicating a type of each of the modules and another module attachable thereto, and inter-module connection information indicating a connection specification between the modules,
• the module including at least one of a facility and a device used for the work,
• the line designing method comprising the steps of:
• generating, by the calculation unit, line configuration information identifying the module constituting a manufacturing line for manufacturing the product and connection between the modules based on the facility information, the process design information, the standard module information, and the inter-module connection information;
• and
• outputting, from the calculation unit, information indicating a module constituting the manufacturing line and connection between the modules based on the line configuration information.
