Abstract: In configuration management for a system constituted by a plurality of components, each of which has a radio frequency identification tag attached, the operating condition of each component is checked and component information of each component recorded in the radio frequency identification tag is read out by a tag reader at a predetermined opportune time. Then, the check result of the operating condition and the readout component information are recorded for each component.

Abstract: The method includes receiving a failure of a first operation verification carried out after exchange of a first component and an assembling work of disassembled components and storing data concerning a second component corresponding to an error code. The method includes identifying a first disassembling procedure from a disassembling step that is a reverse step of an assembling step to be carried out immediately before the first operation verification to a disassembling step of the first component, and a second disassembling procedure from a primary disassembling step to be carried out when any component of an apparatus is exchanged to a disassembling step of the second component, and when the first disassembling procedure is included in the second disassembling procedure, extracting the disassembling step that is a reverse step of the assembling step to be carried out immediately before the first operation verification and subsequent disassembling steps among the second disassembling procedure.

Abstract: This component exchange procedure identifying method includes: receiving data representing a failure of a first operation verification carried out after exchange of a first component and an assembling work of disassembled components, in a state that data concerning said first component corresponding to an error code output from said apparatus is held; storing data concerning a second component corresponding to said error code into said storage unit; identifying a first disassembling procedure from a disassembling step corresponding to an assembling step to be carried out immediately before said first operation verification to a disassembling step of said first component, and a second disassembling procedure from a first disassembling step to be carried out when any component of said apparatus is exchanged to a disassembling step of said second component; when said first disassembling procedure is included in said second disassembling procedure, extracting said disassembling step corresponding to said assembli
