Abstract

A second control device of a second substrate processing apparatus determines whether the processing-start expected time for a substrate is equal to or earlier than a processing-start time limit. If the processing-start expected time is equal to or earlier than the processing-start time limit, the second control device allows the second substrate processing apparatus to execute a first schedule and a second schedule that are initial schedules. On the other hand, if the processing-start expected time is later than the processing-start time limit, the second control device changes the initial first schedule and the initial second schedule so that the processing-start expected time becomes equal to or earlier than the processing-start time limit, and the second control device allows the second substrate processing apparatus to execute the first schedule and the second schedule that have been changed.
