Abstract

A carry-in ready period calculation part calculates a candidate of a carry-in ready period which is a period during which a carry-in operation can be conducted and outputs the candidate in an output part so as to make entire construction works efficient. The calculation is performed based on a site arrival time schedule which is a time schedule showing when a carry-in target equipment arrives at a site, a temporary placement time schedule which is a time schedule showing when the equipment arrived is temporarily placed, and a construction time schedule of a building in which the equipment is carried.

Claims

1. A system for supporting carry-in operation planning which supports a carry-in operation planning for carrying one or more carry-in target equipment required for construction of a building, into the building, comprising:

a storage unit that stores therein

information which describes, for each of the carry-in target equipment, a site arrival time which is a time when the carry-in target equipment arrives at a construction site, and a carry-in target spot of the carry-in target equipment in the building,

information which describes, for each of the carry-in target equipment, a temporary placement period which is a period during which the carry-in target equipment is temporarily placed, and

information which describes, for each of the carry-in target equipment, a carry-in space available period which is a period during which a floor as the carry-in target spot in the building, has already been constructed and a space above the floor is free and open; and

a control unit that performs

a control of acquiring, from the storage unit, the site arrival time, the temporary placement period, and the carry-in space available period of a carry-in target equipment specified by an input from the input unit, and,

if the site arrival time is included within the temporary placement period, if an overlap period is present in which the temporary placement period is overlapped with the carry-in space available period, and if the site arrival time is earlier than the overlap period, a control of determining the overlap period as a carry-in ready period of the specified carry-in target equipment, the carry-in ready period being a period during which the carry-in target equipment can be carried in the building.

2. The system for supporting carry-in operation planning according to claim 1,

wherein, if the site arrival time of the specified carry-in target equipment is not included within the temporary placement period, the control unit performs a control of:

shifting at least one of the site arrival time and the temporary placement period such that the site arrival time becomes included within the temporary placement period; and

generating the carry-in ready period.

3. The system for supporting carry-in operation planning according to claim 1,

wherein, if the overlap period of the specified carry-in target equipment is not present, the control unit performs a control of:

shifting at least one of the temporary placement period and the carry-in space available period such that the overlap period becomes present; and

generating the carry-in ready period.

4. The system for supporting carry-in operation planning according to claim 1,

wherein, if the site arrival time of the specified carry-in target equipment is not earlier than the overlap period, the control unit performs a control of:

shifting at least one of the site arrival time, the temporary placement period, and the carry-in space available period such that the site arrival time becomes earlier than the overlap period; and

generating the carry-in ready period.

5. The system for supporting carry-in operation planning according to claim 1,

wherein the control unit performs:

a control of shifting at least one of the site arrival time, the temporary placement period, and the carry-in space available period according to an input from the input unit, and

a control of calculating the carry-in ready period based on the site arrival time, the temporary placement period, and the carry-in space available period after the shift.
