Process improvement support device, process improvement support method and process improvement support program

摘要

Problem to be solved: to provide a process improvement support apparatus for identifying a neck process with a large improvement effect.The process improvement support apparatus includes a cycle time accumulation means, a cycle time distribution calculating means, and a cycle time distribution correlation evaluation support means.The cycle time accumulating means accumulates the cycle time of a plurality of processes constituting the production line over a predetermined period of time.The cycle time distribution calculating means calculates the distribution in the predetermined period of each process stored in the cycle time accumulation means as a cycle time distribution of the process.The cycle time distribution correlation evaluating and evaluating means generates information for evaluating the correlation between the cycle time distribution of a step (first step) and the cycle time distribution of another process (second step).
