Claim:
A method of assisting in forming plans of measures for management reforms, which is executed by an information processor, comprising steps of: storing in a data storage device a general business-operation-index group including a plurality of indexes indicating the condition of business operation of an enterprise, a general plan-of-measures group including a plurality of plans of measures, each of which is information showing how to deal with the condition indicated by the respective indexes included in said general business-operation-index group, a first correlation-information group including a plurality of correlation information, each of which defines the correlation between the respective indexes included in the general business-operation-index group and the respective plans of measures included in the general plan-of-measures group, risk level information indicating levels of risk caused when each plan of measures is executed, and investment information indicating investment amount necessary to execute the measures included in the general plan-of-measures; by comparing business operation index data of the enterprise to be reformed and the general business-operation index group, producing a problem-index group by extracting, as problem indexes indicating problems in the business operations to be improved, one or more business operation indexes from the general operation-index group and stored in the data storage device; accepting input of information indicating acceptable risk level; producing the second correlation-information group by extracting correlation information which relates to the problem indexes included in the problem-index group, and which relates to a plan of measures having a lower risk level than the inputted risk level from the first correlation-information group; accepting input of gross investment to be invested to the management reform; producing a potential plan-of-measures group by selecting one or more plans of measures which relates to the second correlation-information group and which has a lower gross investment than the inputted investment amount from the general plan-of-measures group; and outputting the resultant one or more potential plans of measures included in the potential plan-of-measures group.
