Managing apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, management method and production method

A management method for managing usage of a plurality of expendables by using a computer, the management method comprising:

• acquiring, by the computer, target information indicating a target condition about a degree of wear of an expendable among the plurality of expendables;
• acquiring, by the computer, usage information indicating a degree of usage of each of the plurality of expendables from a start of usage of the expendable;
• acquiring, by the computer, wear information indicating a degree of wear of each of the plurality of expendables;
• and
• deciding, for each of the plurality of expendables and by the computer, at least either (i) whether or not usage of each expendable is possible or (ii) a degree of priority about usage of each expendable based on (i) a target condition indicated by the target information acquired at the acquisition of target information, (ii) a degree of usage of each expendable indicated by the usage information acquired at the acquisition of usage information and (iii) a degree of wear of each expendable indicated by the wear information acquired at the acquisition of wear information, wherein
• the target condition includes a condition about the degree of usage.

A production method for producing a plurality of expendable reused goods or second-hand goods by using a computer, the production method comprising:

• a target information acquisition step of acquiring, by the computer, target information indicating a target condition about a degree of wear of at least one expendable of the plurality of expendables;
• a usage information acquisition step of acquiring, by the computer, usage information indicating a degree of usage of each of the at least one expendable from a beginning of usage of the expendable;
• a wear information acquisition step of acquiring, by the computer, wear information indicating a degree of wear of each of the at least one expendable;
• a decision step of deciding, for each of the at least one expendable and by the computer, at least either (i) whether or not usage of each expendable is possible or (ii) a degree of priority about usage of the expendable based on (i) a target condition indicated by the target information acquired at the target information acquisition step, (ii) a degree of usage of each expendable indicated by the usage information acquired at the usage information acquisition step and (iii) a degree of wear of each expendable indicated by the wear information acquired at the wear information acquisition step;
• and
• an extraction step of extracting, by the computer, one or more expendables having higher priority for usage among the plurality of expendables based on at least either (i) whether or not usage of each expendable is possible or (ii) a degree of priority of the expendable that is decided in the decision step, wherein
• the target condition includes a condition about the degree of usage.
