To provide an article management device, or the like, which can reduce total cost including ordering cost in addition to article storage cost.SOLUTION: An article management device classifies a tendency of the delivery number in which a predetermined article is delivered into predetermined delivery patterns (S22), determines ordering patterns for ordering the predetermined article according to the classified delivery patterns (S23), calculates the prediction delivery number predicted for the predetermined article (S21), calculates ordering time for ordering the predetermined article and the ordering number at the ordering time from the determined ordering patterns and the predicted delivery number (S24), calculates ordering cost for ordering the predetermined article from the ordering time and the ordering number (S25), and calculates storage cost for storing the predetermined article according to the ordering time and the ordering number as well as the predicted delivery number (S26).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】物品の保管コスト以外に発注コストを含めたトータルでのコストの軽減を図ることができる物品管理装置等を提供する。【解決手段】所定の物品が出庫していく出庫数の傾向を、所定の出庫パターンに分類し（Ｓ２２）、分類された出庫パターンに応じて、所定の物品を発注する発注パターンを決定し（Ｓ２３）、所定の物品に関して予測される予測出庫数を算出し（Ｓ２１）、決定された発注パターンと予測出庫数とから、所定の物品を発注する発注時期および発注時期における発注数を算出し（Ｓ２４）、発注時期および発注数から、所定の物品を発注する発注コストを算出し（Ｓ２５）、発注時期および発注数と予測出庫数とに応じて、所定の物品を保管する保管コストを算出する（Ｓ２６）。【選択図】図９
