A jig determination method executed by an information processing system for controlling production of an ordered product by printing, the method comprising:
- acquiring correspondence information associating, for each image forming apparatus, a jig attached to the image forming apparatus and the image forming apparatus;
- determining a jig to be attached to an image forming apparatus on standby based on the correspondence information and a jig to be used in printing of an ordered product;
- and
- outputting information indicating a change of the jig attached to the image forming apparatus on standby based on a result of the determining.
A production base system comprising:
- an information processing system configured to produce an ordered product by printing;
- and
- one or more input and output devices,
- the information processing system including circuitry configured to:
