<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the increase in TAT (Turn Around Time) of an urgent specimen by precisely predicting stagnation states of specimens in an automatic analysis system to adjust the timing and order of carrying in/out of the specimens in each of devices. <P>SOLUTION: A device management server for instructing carrying in/out of the specimens in each of the devices includes: a tracking unit for identifying current positions of already-input specimens using signals of sensors; a simulation unit for estimating a residence time of each of the specimens in each section by simulating operation of each of the devices when a given carrying in/out plan is applied with the current position of each of the specimens as an initial state; and a carrying in/out planning unit which creates an initial carrying in/out plan for preferentially carrying in/out the urgent specimen, makes the simulation unit execute simulation, and corrects the timing or order of the carrying in/out of other specimens in such a manner that the residence time in each section when the carrying in/out plan is applied does not exceed an allowable residence time of each section. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
