Abstract

Provided are a manufacturing planning system, a manufacturing planning method, and a program that make it possible to improve production efficiency and reduce the load of off-line setup. A manufacturing planning system (1) is for determining a manufacturing plan for producing a plurality of types of products by one or more production lines, and comprises an arithmetic circuit (15) capable of accessing changeover time data (D1) indicating a changeover time for one or more production lines due to a changeover between a plurality of types of products, and workload data (D2) indicating a workload of off-line setup due to a changeover. The arithmetic circuit (15) outputs a manufacturing plan (D5) for optimizing the sum of changeover times and the sum of workloads, on the basis of the changeover time data (D1) and the workload data (D2), in response to an input of production requirement data (D4) including target quantities of a plurality of types of products.
