Abstract: A consumable/wear part management device acquires a consumed/worn state of consumable/wear parts and determines whether there is a consumable/wear part needing maintenance. In case of a determination that there is a consumable/wear part needing maintenance, the consumable/wear part management device specifies a maintenance timing at which the maintenance is needed, determines a level of margin until the specified maintenance timing, and determines whether a driver is a vehicle administrator. In case of a determination that the level of margin is equal to or higher than a prescribed value, the consumable/wear part management device notifies the driver of maintenance information if the driver is the vehicle administrator, and does not notify the driver of the maintenance information if the driver is other than the vehicle administrator.
