In an operation status determination method for a plasma processing apparatus, a principal component analysis is carried out by using operation status data groups. Processing parameter values in the respective operation status data groups are converted into principal component scores which are plotted in a two-dimensional coordinate system with axes of the selected principal components. A movement vector P from a first recipe operation status data group for reference apparatus to a first recipe operation status data group for target apparatus is calculated. An actually measured normal area A 2 is set, and a predicted normal area B 2 is set by moving the area A 2 along the movement vector P. Then, it is determined whether or not the principal component scores corresponding to the respective processing parameter values when the second recipe is applied to the target apparatus are included in the predicted normal area B 2.
