1. A production plan creation device comprising:
a processor configured to
acquire information about a plurality of tasks performed to produce a product by a plurality of machines and a plurality of workers at a site, wherein the plurality of machines comprise a printing machine, a cutting machine, and a binding machine,
create a plurality of candidate plans having a most favorable evaluation value for each of a plurality of predetermined evaluation indicators according to the acquired information, wherein each of the plurality of candidate plans comprises the plurality of tasks arranged in a different order and performed by the printing machine, the cutting machine, and the binding machine according to a different predetermined condition to finish producing the product before a designated deadline,
cause the plurality of candidate plans to be displayed and to be selected on a user interface such that respective evaluation values of the plurality of evaluation indicators of each of the plurality of candidate plans are comparable,
wherein the plurality of candidate plans comprise a first candidate plan and a second candidate plan, the first candidate plan has the most favorable evaluation value of a first evaluation indicator specified as a highest priority evaluation indicator from among the plurality of evaluation indicators, and the second candidate plan has the most favorable evaluation value of a second evaluation indicator specified as a second-highest priority evaluation indicator, and
wherein the first candidate plan is set as a default plan,
receive a selection on a final plan among the plurality of candidate plans from a user input on the user interface, wherein the plurality of tasks arranged in the final plan comprise at least one printing task to be performed by the printing machine at a first designated time period, at least one cutting task to be performed by the cutting machine at a second designated time period, and at least one binding task to be performed by the binding machine at a third designated time period, and
cause the printing machine to perform the at least one printing task at the first designated time period according to the final plan.
