Abstract:
1. A processing support device comprising: a processor; a memory section that stores as co-ordinate points in two dimensions, and an intercept derivation section that derives, using the processor, an intercept b of a regression equation expressed as the following expression (1) in which the unit count X is an independent variable, the processing duration Y is a dependent variable, and b is an intercept and a is a gradient particular to the equipment, a gradient derivation section that derives, using the processor, the gradient a, the gradient a being a gradient of a line that satisfies a third predetermined condition among gradients of lines that pass through a support section that supports, using the processor, the processing using expression (1), into which the intercept b derived by the intercept derivation section and the gradient a derived by the gradient derivation section are substituted, wherein the first predetermined condition includes conditions that the co-ordinate point is at a maximum value of the unit count X and the processing duration Y falls in a first duration band, and the first duration band is processing durations Y, among the processing durations Y of co-ordinate points with the maximum value unit count X represented by the first two-dimensional co-ordinate data, of which positions counting from a minimum processing duration Y are proportions relative to a total number of the co-ordinate points with the maximum value unit count X of from 5% to 35%.
