When the process plan made for execution is corrected based on the process
correction condition, the variation amount in each of processes based on
the process correction condition is calculated as the probability
distribution using the probability distribution data generated by
obtaining the probability distribution from the variation-amount
prediction value of each of the processes. Thereby, the influence degree
on other processes when the process is corrected can be estimated not
simply as the propagation of the variation fixed value but so as to be
more suited to the actual circumstances in accordance with the attribute
information and the past variation patterns of the process.
