  • Publication number: 20190098807
    Abstract: A component supply management system includes a threshold setting portion, a remaining-amount detection portion, a determination portion, and a notification portion. The threshold setting portion sets a threshold with respect to a remaining amount capable of being supplied by the carrier tape, for each of the tape feeders, depending on types of the tape feeders. The remaining-amount detection portion detects a remaining amount of components capable of being supplied by the carrier tape, for each of the tape feeders. The determination portion determines whether the remaining amount detected by the remaining-amount detection portion is lower than the threshold set in the threshold setting portion, for each of the tape feeders. The notification portion issues a warning for recommending replenishment of a carrier tape for the tape feeder in which the determination portion determines that the remaining amount is lower than the threshold.
