Abstract: When a specification setting unit sets a specification of a lot number “k+1” after setting a specification of a lot number “k”, a mounting program selector performs a mounting program corresponding to the lot number “k”, and then selects a mounting program corresponding to the lot number “k+1” according to matching between a mounting number from the mounting program and a planned number of products of the lot number “k”. A printing program selector selects a printing program corresponding to the lot number “k”, and then selects a printing program corresponding to the lot number “k+1” according to matching between a sum of a printing number from the printing program and a defective product number and the planned number of products of the lot number “k”. Consequently, on-demand production of an electronic device can easily be manufactured on a manufacturing line.
