ORDER SUPPORT DEVICE, METHOD FOR SUPPORTING ORDER, AND ORDER SUPPORT PROGRAM

To propose a recommended order number that allow for the displacement between an actual number of items sold and a predicted number of items to be sold and can reduce an opportunity loss and/or a waste loss.SOLUTION: An order support system includes: an inventory DB for holding the amount of inventory of items with expiration dates; a DB of a predicted number of items to be sold for holding the predicted number of the items to be sold in a future target period of time; a safety calculation unit for calculating the safety showing the ratio of the inventory of items with expiration dates in the target period of time before the start of the target period to the predicted number of the items to be sold in the target period of time; a recommended order number calculation unit for calculating the recommended number of orders as the recommended number of orders of the items that arrive after the start of the target period of time on the basis of the safety; and an input display control unit for displaying the recommended number of orders.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】実際の販売数と予測販売数とのずれを許容し、機会ロス及び／又は廃棄ロスが小さくなる推奨発注数を提案する。【解決手段】発注支援システムは、消費期限を有する商品の在庫数を保持する在庫数ＤＢと、前記商品の将来の対象期間の予測販売数を保持する予測販売数ＤＢと、前記商品の前記対象期間の前記予測販売数に対する、前記対象期間の開始前における前記対象期間内に前記消費期限が切れない前記在庫数の割合を示す安全率を算出する安全率算出部と、前記安全率に基づいて、前記対象期間の開始後に入庫する前記商品の推奨される発注数である発注推奨数を算出する発注推奨数算出部と、前記発注推奨数を表示させる入力表示制御部と、を備える。【選択図】図１
