PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently change required tools. SOLUTION: Tools to be used next are designated, tools that are within the using term and stored in the nearest tool magazine are selected as tools to be used next. Tools to be changed are selected, tools to be exchanged are judged if they are within the using term and tools to be changed, which are judged to be within the using term are stored in the nearest empty tool magazine. On the other hand, tools to be changed, which are judged not to be within the using term are stored in a tool change device or the furthest empty tool magazine.
