A processing unit acquires a predicted retrieval time for each container to be arranged in a storage location (predetermined area), and an estimated value of the standard deviation of the error between the predicted retrieval time and an actual retrieval time. The processing unit determines, for each container pair, a weight coefficient representing a swapping probability of a retrieval order, using the predicted retrieval time and the estimated value. The processing unit formulates a linear programming problem relating to the container arrangement, using an objective function in which decision variables are weighted by the weight coefficients. Each decision variable indicates, for a container pair, whether a first container is stacked on a second container having a later retrieval time. The processing unit performs a solving process of the linear programming problem according to the objective function, and outputs arrangement information on the containers as a solving result.
