AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing shipping plans struggle to balance transportation costs with the sufficient delivery of raw materials to discharge ports, leading to inefficiencies in resource allocation.
Method used
A shipping plan creation device and method that utilizes an acquisition unit, setting units, and a calculation unit to derive parameters that minimize an objective function incorporating cost and material discrepancy indices, ensuring optimal resource allocation while controlling costs.
Benefits of technology
The solution enables the creation of shipping plans that minimize discrepancies in raw material delivery to discharge ports while keeping costs down, optimizing resource allocation and reducing inefficiencies.

Abstract
A server device (2) for deriving a ship allocation plan for transporting a raw material from a loading point to an unloading point by a ship comprises: an acquisition unit (21) that acquires condition information set by a user; a first setting unit (28) that sets, by using the condition information, a first index including a first parameter related to the ship allocation plan as a variable and indicating costs required for transportation; a second setting unit (29) that sets, by using the condition information, a second index including a second parameter related to the ship allocation plan as a variable and indicating a difference between a raw material scheduled to be transported to the unloading point and a raw material required at the unloading point; and a calculation unit (23) that derives said parameters related to the ship allocation plan so that the value of an objective function including the sum of a term pertaining to the first index and a term pertaining to the second index becomes smaller.
