Abstract
Operation state information for each cycle of manufacturing operations of each of injection molding machines 300 is acquired by a center management terminal device 400 via a network from a plurality of controlling terminal device 400 for controlling the injection molding machines 300. Cumulative utilization of replacement parts of each injection molding machine 300 put into practical operation is recognized by the operating condition recognizing section of the center management terminal device 400 based on the parts state information for the replacement parts of each injection molding machine 300 included in the operating state information. Based on the cumulative utilization, availability of the parts is recognized with reference to lifetime information concerning lifetime of the parts previously stored in the center storage section, and situation of the availability is displayed with a different display format on the center terminal displaying section 503.
