## Abstract

A jig specification support device is connected to a database that stores a first identifier which identifies an electronic part to be mounted on a substrate using a mounter device and a second identifier which identifies a jig mounting the electronic part in a corresponding manner. The jig specification support device includes determining whether a total number of electronic parts mounted on one or more jigs mounted on the mounter device is less than the number requested to achieve a plan. The jig specification support device includes a fourth display controlling that, when the total number of electronic parts is less than the number requested to achieve the plan, specifies in the database the second identifier of the jig which is not mounted on the mounter device and is mounting the electronic part. A fourth display controlling emits a LED of the jig having the specified second identifier.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A jig specification support device including:
a memory and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes a process comprising:
determining whether total number of parts mounted on one or more jigs mounted on a part mount device mounting a part on a substrate is less than a predetermined number;
referring to a storage that stores a first identifier which identifies the part and a second identifier which identifies the jig mountable on the part mount device and capable of mounting the part in association with the first identifier;
specifying the second identifier of the jig which is not mounted on the part mount device and is mounting the part, when the total number of parts is less than the predetermined number;
and controlling a display of the jig having the specified second identifier.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The jig specification support device according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined number of the determining is the number requested to achieve a production plan of the substrate.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The jig specification support device according to claim 1, wherein the storage stores an identifier which identifies a storage location of the jig in association with the second identifier, and
the controlling specifies in the storage an identifier of the storage location corresponding to the specified second identifier, and identifies and displays a display light of the storage location based on the specified identifier of the storage location.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The jig specification support device according to claim 2, wherein the storage stores an identifier which identifies a storage location of the jig in association with the second identifier, and
the controlling specifies in the storage an identifier of the storage location corresponding to the specified second identifier, and identifies and displays a display light of the storage location based on the specified identifier of the storage location.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The jig specification support device according to claim 1, wherein the storage stores the number of stock parts to be mounted on the jig in association with the second identifier, and
the controlling specifies in the storage the second identifier of the jig which is not mounted on the part mount device and is mounting the part based on the number of stock parts.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The jig specification support device according to claim 2, wherein the storage stores the number of stock parts to be mounted on the jig in association with the second identifier, and
the controlling specifies in the storage the second identifier of the jig which is not mounted on the part mount device and is mounting the part based on the number of stock parts.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The jig specification support device according to claim 2, comprising a detecting detects a vacant mount position of a jig which is not mounted on the part mount device,
wherein the controlling includes preferentially specifying the second identifier of the jig mounting the part within the number of the vacant mount positions detected by the detecting in an order in which the total number of parts in the jig runs short before the production plan is achieved.

### Claim 8

A jig specification support method that causes a jig specification support device that specifies a jig which is mountable on a part mount device mounting a part on a substrate and is mounting the part, to perform processings comprising:
determining, using a processor, whether total number of parts mounted on one or more jigs mounted on the part mount device is less than a predetermined number;
referring to, using the processor, a storage that stores a first identifier which identifies the part and a second identifier which identifies the jig mountable on the part mount device and capable of mounting the part in association with the first identifier;
specifying the second identifier of the jig which is not mounted on the part mount device and is mounting the part, when the total number of parts is less than the predetermined number;
and controlling a display of the jig having the specified second identifier.

### Claim 9

A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a jig specification support program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:
determining whether total number of parts mounted on one or more jigs mounted on a part mount device mounting a part on a substrate is less than a predetermined number;
referring to a storage that stores a first identifier which identifies the part and a second identifier which identifies the jig mountable on the part mount device and capable of mounting the part in association with the first identifier;
specifying the second identifier of the jig which is not mounted on the part mount device and is mounting the part, when the total number of parts is less than the predetermined number;
and controlling a display of the jig having the specified second identifier.
