The first transfer operation is transferring a second article from a storage region to the transport device with use of a second transfer device, and thereafter transferring a first article from the storage region to the transport device with use of a first transfer device. The travel operation is traveling to a position corresponding to a boundary between a relay section and a temporary placement region while holding the first article and the second article. The second transfer operation is transferring the first article from the transport device to the relay section with use of the first transfer device, and transferring the second article from the transport device to the temporary placement region with use of the second transfer device.
