Abstract

See full text

A management apparatus for managing a production apparatus that executes a plurality of processes in accordance with a production plan detects an amount of a release-forgotten memory area that is kept allocated on a memory of the production apparatus by each process even after completion of the process. The management apparatus determines an amount of remaining memory based on the detected amount of the release-forgotten memory area and retrieves a process executable with the amount of remaining memory. The management apparatus determines a process to be executed next in accordance with either a result of the retrieval executed based on the detected amount of the release-forgotten memory area or the production plan and controls the production apparatus to execute the determined process.
