Processing system and processing method

Abstract

The present invention is to provide a processing system and a processing method which do not require the selection of processing recipes by operators and can provide high throughputs. The processing system for processing an object group of one object-to-be-processed, or two or more objects-to-be-processed in a processing vessel with a processing liquid, comprises a plurality of processing vessel groups M1, M2, M3 each of at least one or more processing vessels, which can perform the same processing; transportation apparatus 22 for transporting object groups WS to the plurality of processing vessel groups; and a control unit 45 for selecting the processing vessel groups M1, M2, M3 for the object groups WS to be transported to, the control unit 45 having an applying function of applying processing recipes for the respective object groups and a selecting function of selecting the processing vessel groups for executing the respective applied processing recipes in a prescribed sequence.
