An alarm management device includes: a data collection device for
collecting alarm data generated by an apparatus to be managed; a database
device for storing the collected alarm data; and an alarm statistic
device for preparing alarm statistics using the stored alarm data. The
alarm statistic device includes: a weight coefficient provision unit for
providing, for each alarm, one or more weight coefficient types; a total
weight coefficient calculation unit, for multiplying these weight
coefficients to obtain a total weight coefficient for each alarm; a
weighted case count calculation unit, for multiplying, by the total
weight coefficient, a "1" that represents a case count for the generation
of each alarm and for obtaining a weighted case count; and a statistic
preparation unit, for adding the weighted case counts for the individual
alarms to prepare statistics for the weighted number of alarm generation
cases.
