1. A briquetting machine, comprising:
a granulation unit that operates under set operating conditions to manufacture briquettes;
an acquisition unit that acquires evaluation information indicating evaluation results of the plurality of briquettes manufactured under the same manufacturing conditions; and
a setting unit that sets the operating conditions based on the evaluation information,
wherein the evaluation information includes a first evaluation parameter and a second evaluation parameter,
the setting unit determines whether or not to change the operating conditions set in advance by comparing an evaluation value, which is based on a distribution of a plot in a case of plotting the evaluation results of the plurality of briquettes on a graph in which a first evaluation parameter is on a first axis and a second evaluation parameter is on a second axis, with a predetermined reference,
the operating conditions include a plurality of operation parameters,
the briquetting machine accepts a result selected by a user as the evaluation value to be generated, and
the setting unit selects the operation parameter, which is to be determined as to whether or not to be changed, from among the plurality of operation parameters, based on what the selected evaluation value is.
