1. An information processing device comprising:
a data structure configured to share design information among a time chart, a flow chart, and a sequence program;
an input portion configured to receive from a user an instruction to change at least one of the time chart, the flow chart, and the sequence program; and
at least one processor and at least one memory that are configurable to cause the information processing apparatus to:
generate and link the time chart, the flow chart, and the sequence program, based on the data structure, with (1) the flow chart being generatable by using (i) the data structure and (ii) the time chart or the sequence program, (2) the time chart being generatable by using (i) the data structure and (ii) the flow chart or the sequence program, (3) the sequence program being generatable by using (i) the data structure and (ii) the flow chart or the time chart;
automatically modify the time chart based on the data structure and a received instruction to change at least one of the flow chart or the sequence program;
automatically modify the flow chart based on the data structure and a received instruction to change at least one of the time chart or the sequence program; and
automatically modify the sequence program on the data structure and a received instruction to change at least one of the flow chart or the time chart.
