An inspection data management method comprising: a step (S11) of inspecting products with an inspection apparatus for inspecting products in a production line to determine whether the products produced are defective; a step (S12) of storing inspection result data representing results of a plurality of product inspections with the inspection apparatus in an apparatus-side inspection result database ; a step (S21) of determining whether a sending condition for sending the inspection result data to a management server is satisfied; a step (S22) of extracting data that has not been sent to the management server from the inspection result data stored in the apparatus-side inspection result database ; and sending (S24), if the sending condition is fulfilled, the data to the management server ; a step (S31) of receiving, with the management server , the inspection result data sent by the inspection apparatus ; and a step (S32) of storing the received inspection result data in a server-side inspection result database of with the management server ; a step of storing information relating to the inspection of the product by the inspection apparatus in a server-side inspection program database , wherein the information relating to the inspection of the product comprises inspection criteria for determining whether the product produced is defective; and a step (S43) of converting, at the management server , the received inspection result data that is stored in the server-side inspection result database into relational data, based on the information relating to the inspection of the product that is stored in the server-side inspection program database ; a step (S44) of storing the converted relational data converted in a statistical analysis database , which is a relational database, in order to perform statistical analysis at the management server . a step (S11) of inspecting products with an inspection apparatus for inspecting products in a production line to determine whether the products produced are defective; a step (S12) of storing inspection result data representing results of a plurality of product inspections with the inspection apparatus in an apparatus-side inspection result database ; a step (S21) of determining whether a sending condition for sending the inspection result data to a management server is satisfied; a step (S22) of extracting data that has not been sent to the management server from the inspection result data stored in the apparatus-side inspection result database ; and sending (S24), if the sending condition is fulfilled, the data to the management server ; a step (S31) of receiving, with the management server , the inspection result data sent by the inspection apparatus ; and a step (S32) of storing the received inspection result data in a server-side inspection result database of with the management server ; a step of storing information relating to the inspection of the product by the inspection apparatus in a server-side inspection program database , wherein the information relating to the inspection of the product comprises inspection criteria for determining whether the product produced is defective; and a step (S43) of converting, at the management server , the received inspection result data that is stored in the server-side inspection result database into relational data, based on the information relating to the inspection of the product that is stored in the server-side inspection program database ; a step (S44) of storing the converted relational data converted in a statistical analysis database , which is a relational database, in order to perform statistical analysis at the management server . <EOS>
