1. An automatic estimation method for determining a price or a delivery date of an item group configured by a plurality of items by a computer having a CPU, the automatic estimation method comprising the steps of:
recognizing the items included in the item group by the computer;
acquiring by the computer, for each of the items, the price or the delivery date of the item for each of manufacturing conditions selectable at a time of manufacturing the item;
recognizing by the computer, a designated condition selected by a user from the manufacturing conditions;
determining by the computer, a first price or a first delivery date of the item group on the basis of the price or the delivery date of the item corresponding to the designated condition;
recognizing by the computer an asking price or an asking delivery date of the item group input by the user;
calculating by the computer, a variation value of the price or the delivery date of the item group with respect to the first price or the first delivery date,
calculating by the computer a difference between the first price or the first delivery date and the asking price or the asking delivery date,
when the difference is at least a minimum value of the variation value, retrieving by the computer, a recommended condition that is a manufacturing condition that allows the price or the delivery date of the item group to approximate the asking price or the asking delivery date; and
displaying on a display screen of an output section by the computer, a first selection area in which the manufacturing condition before changing to the recommended condition is displayed in a selectable format, and a second selection area in which the recommended condition is displayed in a selectable format.
