• a reception unit that receives a replacement request for the part;
• a control unit that, when the reception unit receives a replacement request for the part, cause the display unit to display one or more of an ID of the part that is normally assembled and a second state information about a position where the part is used, an ID of the part in a state of waiting for an arrangement of the part and third state information about a position where the part is used, in addition to an ID of the part whose state information indicates that preparation of a replacement product of the part is completed and replacement is ready to be implemented, and first state information about a position where the part is used;
• and
• a selection unit that selects whether to display, on the display unit, one or more of the second state information and the third state information.
