An electronic-circuit fabricating system wherein an inspecting machine is provided
for each of working machines such as a mask printing machine and an electronic-component
mounting machine, to inspect a result of an operation of each working machine,
and a monitoring device is arranged to receive information on monitoring-object
portions of the working machines and information on the inspected result of the
operation, to estimate the present state of each monitoring-object portion on the
basis of these kinds of information, to obtain a tendency of change of the present
state on the basis of the present state and stored past data, and to monitor the
working machines so that the present state does not exceed a predetermined threshold
state. When the present state of the monitoring-object portion has exceeded the
thresholds state, the monitoring device estimates a cause for an abnormality of
the working machine on the basis of the information on the working machine and
the inspected result, and automatically compensates control data or activates a
monitor or indicator to prompt the operator to implement a suitable treatment.
