To optimize assignment of delivery areas.SOLUTION: An area determination method for determining areas for delivery for each of multiple delivery bodies includes the following processes to be executed by a computer: an area candidate determination process to determine a plurality of area candidates; an extraction process to randomly extract a plurality of combinations of two demand points, based on the area candidates; a probability derivation process to derive probabilities that the delivery bodies conducted delivery, for each of the combinations, on the basis of past delivery data regarding deliveries to demand points by the delivery bodies; and an area determination process to determine areas on the basis of the probabilities.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】配送エリアの割り当てを最適化する。【解決手段】複数の配送体それぞれの配送対象となるエリアを決定するエリア決定方法は、コンピュータが、複数のエリア候補を決定するエリア候補決定処理を実行し、エリア候補に基づいて、２つの需要点の組み合わせを無作為に複数抽出する抽出処理を実行し、配送体が需要点に配送した過去の配送データに基づいて、組み合わせ毎に配送体が配送した確率を導出する確率導出処理を実行し、確率に基づいて、エリアを決定するエリア決定処理を実行する。【選択図】図５
