PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic order placing system for processing agents which is capable of lessening work requiring man power as far as possible and automating the work. SOLUTION: When developers are installed in a laboratory or the like, a terminal 11 places an order with a terminal 31 managed by a manufacturer according to a decreased of the residual amount of the developers down to a prescribed amount or below by a level sensor 11g even if the manager on the laboratory side does not check the residual amount of the developers each time and therefore such manufacturer understands that the developers are running out in accordance with the placed order and consequently, the manufacturer is able to timely produce the necessary developers without by setting up the production schedule for the developers. Further, when the manufacturer's terminal 31 receives the placed order, the terminal informs a terminal 41 managed by a forwarding agent of the date of delivery and therefore such forwarding agent understands that the manufacturer receives the placement of the order with the developers and is able to make preparation for conveyance which becomes necessary before long. The forwarding agent is thus able to convey the produced processing agents without delay. |
