• peripheral equipment configured to aid the injection molding machine;
• a display configured to display information relating to the injection molding machine and the peripheral equipment;
• a memory configured to store a program, first operation items for the injection molding machine, second operation items for the peripheral equipment, and a standard operation time of each of the first and second operation items;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the program so as to display on the display:
• a first column including the molding machine and the peripheral equipment;

• the first operation items including:
• raising a temperature of a manifold;
• purge on resin change;
• purge before production;
• attaching a metal mold;
• raising a temperature of the metal mold;
• and
• wasting a shot,
• the second operation items including:
• retrieving molding conditions;
• drying a material for molding;
• and
• attaching a temperature controller;
• a third column for first jobs performed by the molding machine and the peripheral equipment in association with the first and second operation items;
• a fourth column for second jobs performed by the molding machine and the peripheral equipment in association with the first and second operation items, the first jobs being respectively performed before the second jobs;
• and
• contents of the third and fourth columns based on the standard operation time in the memory, the contents being all of following contents:
• a first job state indicating a completed job;
