Patent ID: 7328168

Claim:
A daily delivered articles order optimization support system, comprising: an expected-profit-sequenced order priority generation unit computing an expected profit of each piece of article up to a specified number for each article based on sales result data in a latest period of the past, and sorting articles in order from a highest expected profit in computation results of all articles; and an optimum order pattern computation unit computing an optimum order pattern based on a process result of said expected-profit-sequenced order priority generation unit, said expected-profit-sequenced order priority generation unit obtains a cumulative probability density of each piece of a specified number of pieces of each article when a total sales or a total demand value of each day obtained from the sales result data for each article is assigned as a normal distribution with an average μ and a standard deviation σ to a cumulative normal distribution function, and computes the expected profit by the cumulative probability density and a cost, a gross profit, and a sales price of each article.
