ORDERING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, ORDERING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND ORDERING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

To propose a recommended order quantity to allow a deviation between the actual number of sales and the predicted number of sales in order to reduce a loss of opportunity and/or a loss of waste.SOLUTION: An ordering assistance system is provided with: an inventory number DB for holding the inventory number of the goods having a consumption expiration date; an estimated sales number DB for holding the estimated sales number of the goods in a future target period; a safety factor calculating unit for calculating a safety factor indicating the ratio of the inventory number whose consumption expiration date does not expire within the target period before the start of the target period to an estimated sales number of the goods in the target period; an order recommendation number calculating unit for calculating an order recommendation number, which is a recommended order number of the goods to be stored after the start of the target period, based on the safety factor; and an input display control unit for displaying the order recommendation number.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
