PROCESS ANALYSIS APPARATUS, PROCESS ANALYSIS METHOD, AND PROCESS ANALYSIS PROGRAM

摘要

A process analysis apparatus according to an aspect may include a first acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of pieces of state data related to states of a plurality of mechanisms that constitute a manufacturing line, a second acquisition unit that acquires a control program for controlling an operation of the manufacturing line, a first analyzer that analyzes the acquired plurality of pieces of state data so as to identify a connection state between the plurality of mechanisms, a second analyzer that analyzes the acquired control program so as to identify an order relationship between the plurality of mechanisms, and a relationship identifying unit that identifies a causal relationship between the plurality of mechanisms in a process that is carried out on the manufacturing line, based on the identified connection state and order relationship.
