Resource management method, resource management device, and program product

A resource management device comprising:

• a processor;
• at least one storage device storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to calculate required resource amounts for a plurality of batch applications and perform management of a plurality of resources for the batch applications including:
• managing a process history for each of the batch applications on a per lot unit basis;
• grouping the process history for each of the batch applications on the per lot unit basis at a predetermined time point;
• calculating a process progress rate that is a progress rate of a batch process at a current time point, where the process progress rate corresponds to a value of a number of processed lots at the current time point divided by a total number of lots to terminate the batch process, for each of the batch applications;
• calculating a required progress rate that is a progress rate required to terminate the batch process within a requested processing time for each of said batch applications;
• determining whether any of the batch applications respectively have the process progress rate which has reached the required progress rate or not;
• and
• when there is at least one batch application in which the process progress rate has not reached the required progress rate, re-calculating the required resource amount for a supposed process progress rate at a predetermined time in the future to reach a supposed required progress rate at the predetermined time in the future for the respective at least one batch application;
• allocating the re-calculated required resource amount to the at least one batch application in which the process progress rate has not reached the required progress rate.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to calculate required resource amounts for a plurality of batch applications and perform a management method for a plurality of resources for the batch applications, the management method comprising:

• managing a process history for each of the batch applications on a per lot unit basis;
• grouping the process history for each of the batch applications on the per at unit basis at a predetermined time point;
• calculating a process progress rate that is a progress rate of a batch process at a current time point, where the process progress rate corresponds to a value of a number of processed lots at the current time point divided by a total number of lots to terminate the batch process, for each of the batch applications;
• calculating a required progress rate that is a progress rate required to terminate the batch process within a requested processing time for each of said batch applications;
• determining whether any of the batch applications respectively have the process progress rate which has reached the required progress rate or not;
• and
• when there is at least one batch application in which the process progress rate has not reached the required progress rate, re-calculating the required resource amount for a supposed process progress rate at a predetermined time in the future to reach a supposed required progress rate at the predetermined time in the future for the respective at least one batch application;
• allocating the re-calculated required resource amount to the at least one batch application in which the process progress rate has not reached the required progress rate.
