Manufacturing products management method, system and apparatus

A management system comprising:

• a plurality of information processing devices;
• and
• a management apparatus that includes:
• a managing unit that manages production information corresponding to each of the plurality of information processing devices;
• a specifying unit that specifies, based on a defect notice for at least one component and the production information on the information processing devices managed by the managing unit, at least one of the information processing devices using the at least one component;
• a state judging unit that judges whether each of the at least one of the information processing devices is in an operable state where a processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices is operable in an environment in which the processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices is provided;
• and
• an operation restricting unit that performs operation restriction for the processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices according to the defect notice in response to the state judging unit judging that each of the at least one of information processing devices is in the operable state.

A management method comprising:

• managing production information corresponding to each of a plurality of information processing devices;
• specifying, based on a defect notice for the at least one component and the production information on the managed information processing devices, the at least one of the information processing devices using the at least one component;
• judging, by using a processor, whether each of the at least one of the information processing devices is in a operable state where a processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices is operable in an environment in which the processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices is provided;
• and
• restricting that performs operation restriction for the processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices according to the defect notice in response to judging that each of the at least one of the information processing devices is in the operable state.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a management process, the management process comprising:

• managing production information corresponding to each of a plurality of information processing devices;
• specifying, based on a defect notice for the at least one component and the production information on the managed information processing devices, the at least one of the information processing devices using the at least one component;
• judging whether each of the at least one of the information processing devices is in a operable state where a processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices is operable in an environment in which the processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices is provided;
• and
• restricting that performs operation restriction for the processing function of each of the at least one of the information processing devices according to the defect notice in response to judging that each of the at least one of the information processing devices is in the operable state.
