Abstract: A calculation amount and calculation time for a substrate conveyance schedule are reduced. A scheduler is provided which is incorporated in a control section of a substrate processing apparatus including a plurality of substrate processing sections that process a substrate, a conveyance section that conveys the substrate, and the control section that controls the conveyance section and the substrate processing sections, and calculates a substrate conveyance schedule. The scheduler includes: a modeling section that models processing conditions, processing time and constraints of the substrate processing apparatus into nodes and edges using a graph network theory, prepares a graph network, and calculates a longest route length to each node; and a calculation section that calculates the substrate conveyance schedule based on the longest route length.

Abstract: With a two-unit area placement planning device, the distance between left and right galvano units (unit interval value) A is optimized so that the number of beam scanning and the number of moving the stage are minimized. With an area placement planning device, the area position is optimized so that the number of areas is minimized. With a stage/galvano path planning device, the distance of moving the stage and the distance of scanning by the galvano scanner are shortened by solving a traveling salesman problem. Thus, the working time with a laser drilling machine is shortened.
