Management device, mounting system, and management method

A management device used in a mounting system including multiple mounting-related devices in which a feeder related to mounting of a component is attached to respective attachment sections of the multiple mounting-related devices, and a loader that moves along a rail provided on front surface of the multiple mounting-related devices between the multiple mounting-related devices to automatically attach and detach the feeder to and from the attachment sections, the management device comprising:

• a processor configured to acquire prohibition information including information on at least one attachment section of at least one mounting-related device to and from which the feeder is not attachable and detachable by the loader from the at least one mounting-related device due to restricted moving of the loader from the at least one mounting-related device,
• create an instruction list based on the prohibition information, in which an attachment and detachment instruction of the feeder for the attachment sections that are within a movable range of the loader other than the at least one attachment section to and from which the feeder is not attachable and detachable due to the restricted moving of the loader from the at least one mounting-related device is registered,
• and cause the moving work device to execute attachment and detachment processing of the feeder based on the instruction list.
