A management system for semiconductor fabrication devices is provided with
a sensor for always collecting management information from a fabrication
device provided in a semiconductor fabrication process line, and a
determiner for monitoring the management information collected by the
sensor as a time-sequential measured value pattern, and for comparing the
measured value pattern with a set value pattern registered beforehand in
accordance with the management information. This enables to presume causes
or the like of failures based on data, and hence, to immediately identify
the causes of even sudden failures, thereby allowing measures to be
immediately taken. Consequently, the process line can be stably operated.
