Patent ID: 7236856

Claim:
An operation assisting system comprising: a demand prediction creating means for creating a demand prediction for an operation target facility using a machine; a storing means for storing the machine-predicted demand; an operation plan formulating means for deriving a machine-based operation plan for the operation target facility using a machine based on the demand prediction; a storing means for storing the machine-based operation plan; an operation plan input means for entering an operator-based operation plan for the operation target facility; a storing means for storing the operator-based operation plan; an operation information storing means for storing information about an operation carried out at the operation target facility in accordance with the operator-based operation plan; an operation evaluation means for creating an evaluation of the operator-based operation plan by comparing the demand prediction, the machine-based operation plan, and the operation information; a storing means for storing the evaluation of the operator-based operation plan; and a display means for displaying the evaluation of the operator-based operation plan to the operator.
