    摘要: Precise prediction of the state of congestion in an automatic analysis system and adjustment of timings and the order of take-in and take-out of specimens in each device prevent increase in TATs of urgent specimens. A device management server for providing instructions for take-in and take-out of specimens in each device, includes: a tracking unit which determines the current position of each specimen after input by using signals of sensors; a simulation unit which estimates the staying time of each specimen in one of regions by simulating the operation of each device in accordance with a take in/out schedule plan assuming an initial state in which each specimen is at the current position; and a take in/out scheduling unit which produces an initial take in/out schedule plan for preferentially taking in and taking out urgent specimens, causes the simulation unit to perform a simulation, and corrects, in the initial take in/out schedule plan, the timings or order of take-in and take-out of one or more other specimens so that each of the staying times in one of the regions do not exceed a corresponding allowable staying time in the region.
