Abstract
A process control device includes a deadlock determination part that determines whether or not a deadlock occurrence situation occurs when a work process that is being executed and a work process scheduled to be executed next are executed simultaneously by referring to process constraint information in which a plurality of work processes and each work state of a plurality of process execution elements of a manufacturing device are associated with each other, and a process execution control part that delays an execution timing of the work process scheduled to be executed next when the deadlock determination part has determined that the deadlock occurrence situation occurs.
