Yes (step S3). Further, when the employee terminal 2 is operated by a skill administrator or the like and skill level information is transmitted from the employee terminal 2 to the simulation device 1 (step S5), the skill level information registration unit 15 outputs the skill level information. It is stored in the skill level information DB 12 (step S7). Further, the employee terminal 2 is operated by a skill manager or the like, and the business metric information is transmitted from the employee terminal 2 to the simulation device 1 (step S

1 ”, and concrete intermediate data when the unit period length is“ 1 month ”are also illustrated in parentheses.

First, in step S21, the length of the project period in the condition information (in the example, "2 months".
Similarly, the ratio (2) of the project period length to the unit period length is calculated by dividing (in parentheses) by the unit period length (1 month).

Next, in step S23, the total number of program lines in the condition information (1000 KL) is divided by the multiplication factor (2) calculated in step S21 to calculate the total number of program lines per unit period (500 KL). .

Next, in step S25, step S2
Total number of lines per unit period calculated in 3 (500K
L) and the ratio of the total number of lines for each skill level in the condition information (SA: A = 1: 1), the total number of lines for each skill level per unit period length (SA: 250K
L, A: 250 KL) is calculated.

Next, in step S27, the skill item "HTML" and the skill level "S" in the condition information.
The business metric information DB 13 is searched for business metric information including “A” or the skill level “A”.

Next, in step S29, step S2
Each of the total number of lines (SA: 250KL, A: 250KL) for each skill level per unit period length calculated in 5 is the number of program lines per unit period length of each business metric information retrieved in step S27. (S
By dividing each by A: 2.5 KL and A: 2 KL, the required number (SA: 100, A: 125) for each skill level per unit period length (one month) is calculated.

Next, in step S31, the skill item "HTML" and the skill level "S" in the condition information.
The skill level information DB 12 is searched for skill level information including “A” or the skill level “A”. If the skill level information cannot be retrieved here, the personnel assignment simulation unit 17 ends the simulation.

Next, in step S33, step S3
The employee information including the employee number of the skill level information retrieved in 1 is retrieved from the employee information DB 11.

The personnel assignment simulation unit 1
7 temporarily stores the retrieved employee information in the simulation device 1 by dividing it by skill level (“SA” and “A”) in the condition information, and further stores the unit period length (1 month) of the employee information. Sort by lowest labor cost.

Next, in step S35, step S2
Required number of people for each skill level per unit period length (1 month) calculated in 9 (SA: 100, A: 125)
After step S33, the same number of employee information items are temporarily selected for each skill level, and the employee information items are selected in descending order of labor cost for a unit period length (one month) of the employee information item. To do. Here, if the required number of employee information does not exist in the employee information DB 11, the personnel assignment simulation unit 17 ends the simulation.

Next, in step S37, step S3
The personnel expenses per unit period length (1 month) of each employee information selected in 5 are totaled, and the unit period length of the project (1
Calculate the total labor cost per month).

Next, in step S39, step S3
The total labor cost of the project is obtained by multiplying the total labor cost per unit period length obtained in 7 by the multiplication factor (2) calculated in step S3.

Returning to FIG. 5, the description will be continued. The simulation device 1 displays screen information for displaying the employee name of the employee information selected in step S35 by the personnel assignment simulation unit 17 and the total personnel cost of the project calculated in step S39 on the employee terminal 2 (specifically, Is H
A TML file or the like) is generated (step S17), and this is transmitted to the employee terminal 2 (step S19). On the employee terminal 2, the employee name and the total labor cost of the project are displayed.

When the personnel assignment simulation section 17 stops the simulation, the simulation device 1 notifies the employee terminal 2 of that fact and displays it.
