Abstract text

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for solving a location designation problem to give specific instructions to workers as to where the device that has completed processing is in the production site, and a setup starting time designation problem to give instructions to workers as to when the setup for operation after a test is completed is conducted. One embodiment includes a means for recognizing the processing progress statuses of the devices in the production site, means for indicating the processing progress statuses of the devices, means for predicting the processing completion times of the devices, and means for indicating when a preparation (setup operation) is started for a particular device. A worker receives the processing progress statuses of the respective devices of the respective units from the means for indicating the processing progress statuses of the devices, and records the time to carry in the works to be placed in the devices to the devices and start placement from the means for indicating when a setup operation is started for a particular device.
