The present invention enables support of a process for creating a detailed layout design which takes construction into account, and contributes to a reduction in the workload of the layout design process. A layout editing unit causes an interface unit to display a layout design data editing screen, receives an edit instruction input onto the screen, and edits the layout design data in accordance with the edit instruction. The layout editing unit classifies the layout design data into five data types, namely building data, equipment arrangement data, equipment connection element data, equipment connection path data, and user-specified range data, and edits the data of each data type individually. A storage unit stores the editing results of the layout design data. A CAD conversion unit converts the layout design data into a two-dimensional CAD drawing or a three-dimensional CAD model, and causes the interface unit to display the two-dimensional CAD drawing or three-dimensional CAD model on a screen.

At a stage before manufacture (product design stage or manufacturing process design stage), influence of defect occurrence in a component or process on other components and processes is estimated, and defect importance is evaluated to support the manufacturing process design. Failure rates of components are previously stored in a database. At a product design stage, an assembly fraction defective is calculated for an assembly process of each component of the product. Component arrangement relations are extracted from product design information. A component fraction defective is calculated based on the assembly fraction defective and the component failure rate. A numerical value indicating an influence degree of each assembly process is calculated by multiplying component fraction defectives by coefficients based on of the component arrangement relations and the component fraction defective, for relating components in each assembly process. Thereby, influence degrees of each component and process are evaluated.

An optimum target system is designed by implementing software modules and hardware modules, without discriminating the software modules and the hardware modules one from the other. An external storage stores the software modules including a namespace identifier for identifying the software module, and the hardware modules including a namespace identifier for identifying the hardware module.
