SHIPMENT AMOUNT PREDICTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCT AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To estimate the shipment amount of products when the several number of times of shipping of products may be required for one order reception contract from the past shipping result information. PSOLUTION: The similarity of contract examples is evaluated by using numerical information and non-numerical information in a contract to be predicted, and a plurality of similarity contracts are extracted. A timing which is the most similar to a timing to be predicted is extracted in the shipping patterns of the similar contracts, and predicted shipment is estimated form the similar contracts. The predicted shipment from the plurality of similar contracts is multiplied by linear connection coefficients calculated from the similarity so that the predicted shipment amount can be calculated.
