To provide a simulation method which supports decision making, based on an objective index of the loss cost at decision making time, related to supply and demand adjustment of a supply chain.
A supply and demand adjustment simulation program 100 accepts the reception planned quantity and the shipping planned quantity, which are inputted for each planned period and generates plural numerical values, in the case of variance of the shipping planned quantity due to the variance in the supply and demand as a supply and demand variance scenario in one planned period and multiplies the stock quantity or the shortage quantity in the planned period, by the loss cost part unit quantity, to calculate the loss cost in each supply and demand variance scenario, and loss costs of individual supply and demand variance scenarios are displayed in parallel so that the reception quantity in the pertinent planned period can be determined by a user.
