A manufacturing/distribution schedule creation device includes: a manufacturing/distribution simulator (100) for simulating a manufacturing/distribution process expressing the distribution state and the distribution constraint of the manufacturing/distribution process; a mathematical expression holding device for holding a mathematical model (110) created by acquiring information relating to creation of the distribution schedule in attention as a mathematical model expressing, in a mathematical expression, the distribution state and the distribution constraint of the manufacturing/distribution process; and an optimization calculation device (120) for performing the optimization calculation by using a predetermined evaluation function for the mathematical model (110) and calculating a distribution instruction for the manufacturing/distribution simulator. The distribution instruction obtained by the optimization calculation device is supplied to the manufacturing/distribution simulator (100) so as to execute simulation. Thus, an optimal solution can be obtained by performing only one simulation. L'invention concerne un dispositif de création de calendrier de fabrication/distribution qui comprend: un simulateur de fabrication/distribution (100) conçu pour simuler un processus de fabrication/distribution exprimant l'état de distribution et la contrainte de distribution du processus de distribution; un dispositif de conservation d'expression mathématique conçu pour conserver un modèle mathématique (110) créé par l'acquisition d'informations relatives à la création du calendrier de distribution par rapport à l'expression d'un modèle mathématique, dans une expression mathématique, l'état de distribution et la contrainte de distribution du procédé de fabrication/distribution; et un dispositif de calcul d'optimisation (120) conçu pour effectuer le calcul d'optimisation au moyen d'une fonction d'évaluation prédéterminée pour le modèle mathématique (110) et pour calculer une instruction de distribution pour le simulateur de fabrication/distribution. L'instruction de distribution obtenue par le dispositif de calcul d'optimisation est fournie au simulateur (100), de manière que la simulation soit exécutée. Ainsi, une solution optimale peut être obtenue au moyen seulement d'une simulation.
