A production sequence optimizing method and a production sequence optimizing system that can reduce downtime caused by a setup operation. The production sequence optimizing method classifies a plurality of production programs which are continuously executed using a production line into a plurality of groups which share resources used for production and optimizes an execution order of the plurality of production programs. The production sequence optimizing method includes: a resource number counting step of counting the number of all resources held in stock; and a resource allocation step of allocating the resources to each of the groups on the basis of the number of all resources, the number of resources required for an N-th group, and the number of resources required for an (N+1)-th group.
