Abstract: A plurality of production line recipes and film thickness measurement recipes that recite the same type of coating solution, but different target film thickness are prepared in a coating unit. Recipes that recite the same types of coating solution and the same film thickness are linked to a common spin curve. A film thickness measurement recipe is executed so as to calculate a compensated value for a revolving speed for each measured data of the film thickness. The designated values of revolving speeds of individual recipes can be compensated using the compensated value at a time.
