Abstract: A process for forming an intermediate or final resin sheet by virtually segmenting a strip-like, extrusion-molded resin sheet into a plurality of individual areas corresponding to intermediate resin sheets. Each individual area is further virtually segmented into segmented areas. Shrinkage rate related information related to shrinkage rate of each segmented area is acquired for each segmented area. When implementing an intermediate processing, processing conditions are corrected for each individual area based on the shrinkage rate related information for each individual area and for each segmented area. The intermediate resin sheet may be heat press processed using heat press processing condition information.

Abstract: A process management system virtually segments an extruded resin sheet into individual areas associated with several resin sheets. The individual areas are further virtually segmented into segmented areas. Curvature related information related to a curvature after completion of a heat press processing is acquired for each segmented area for each individual area. In a coating condition per area setting process, coating conditions are set for each segmented area for each individual area in accordance with a curvature based on curvature related information of each segmented area for each individual area. In a coating implementing process, a coating is applied to each segmented area for each individual area based on the coating condition.
