Abstract
According to one embodiment, a management apparatus includes a setting unit, a data converting unit, and a maintenance scheduling unit. The setting unit sets a relation value indicating a relation between the number of operations in an image processing apparatus to be subjected to maintenance scheduling and data indicating the live of a consumable in the image processing apparatus. The data converting unit converts, using the relation value, the number of operations acquired from the image processing apparatus into the data indicating the life of the consumable in the image processing apparatus. The maintenance scheduling unit creates a maintenance schedule for the image processing apparatus using the data indicating the life of the consumable in the image processing apparatus calculated by the data converting unit.
