Abstract: An automatic splicing unit (ASU) is arranged in a production line configured to include multiple mounters. When an operator performs splicing work of each mounter by using the ASU, each time a component shortage is predicted, a priority is determined so as to perform the splicing work giving priority to those for which a distance to the ASU is shorter from multiple work target mounters having a mounted feeder which has not completed the splicing work yet (S106 to S116). In this manner, it is possible to minimize the movement of the ASU when splicing work is performed for all of the work target mounters, and it is possible to quickly and efficiently perform splicing work.
