PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION COST OPTIMIZATION TRANSPORT SCHEDULE GENERATING SYSTEM AND METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM WITH PROGRAM RECORDED AND ITS PROGRAM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate the most inexpensive transport schedule concerning a physical circulation cost optimization transport schedule generation system for generating the transport schedule of articles from the transport origin to transport destination in a schedule target period. PSOLUTION: An operation pattern generating part 4 generates an operation pattern fulfilling the request quantity at each date of a request quantity table 4, and an operation pattern connecting part 6 generates a plurality of transport schedules by connecting those operation patterns. Also, a transport cost calculating part 9 and a maintenance cost calculating part 8 calculates transport costs and maintenance costs according to the respective transport schedules, and an optimal transport schedule selecting part 13 selects the most inexpensive transport schedule as the optimal transport schedule.
