PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the reduction of maintenance cost required for a plurality of apparatuses in the case of using the plurality of apparatuses having the same function.SOLUTION: This invention predicts the amount of jobs which can be processed by the time each of a plurality of components belonging to a plurality of apparatuses cannot normally operate any more, and the amount of jobs which are inputted to the plurality of apparatuses by the time the next maintenance work is performed. Then, an evaluation value relating to maintenance cost is calculated on the basis of the prediction results, and a distribution method for distributing the jobs to be inputted is created on the basis of the evaluation value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
