1. A determination device that determines a component feeder to be used from among multiple component feeders attached to a feeder holding section, in a component mounting machine which includes the feeder holding section to which the multiple component feeders are attached and a mounting head capable of simultaneously picking up components from the multiple component feeders attached to the feeder holding section, the component mounting machine mounting the components picked up by the mounting head onto a board, the determination device comprising:
a component feeder information acquisition section configured to acquire an attachment position at which the component feeder is attached and a type of component accommodated in the component feeder, for each component feeder attached to the feeder holding section; and
a component feeder determination section configured to determine the component feeder for supplying a first specific type of component to the mounting head when component shortage occurs in a first specific component feeder, in a case where the first specific type of component supplied from the first specific component feeder and a second specific type of component supplied from a second specific component feeder are simultaneously picked up by the mounting head,
wherein the component feeder determination section determines one first same type component feeder as the component feeder for supplying the first specific type of component to the mounting head, the one first same type component feeder being attached to a position which enables simultaneous pickup with the second specific type of component supplied from the second specific component feeder, the determination being made based on an attachment position at which the first same type component feeder is attached and an attachment position at which the second specific component feeder is attached, in a case where multiple first same type component feeders, each accommodating the first specific type of component, are attached to the feeder holding section.
