Operation command generation device, operation command generation method, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and process system

An operation command generation device, comprising:

• an execution order determination unit configured to determine, based on respective arrangement positions of a plurality of process symbols each representing a process for a process subject on a protocol chart comprising the plurality of process symbols, an execution order of the plurality of process symbols;
• and
• a process symbol conversion unit configured to respectively convert the plurality of process symbols into jobs for a process system comprising at least a robot so that processes represented by the plurality of process symbols are executed in the execution order determined by the execution order determination unit;
• wherein the protocol chart further comprises an initial symbol with which at least one process symbol is associated, the initial symbol representing a container for the process subject,
• wherein some of the process symbols are arranged along a first direction from the initial symbol,
• wherein another initial symbol is arranged being separate from the initial symbol in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and the former initial symbol and the latter initial symbol represent different containers, and
• wherein the execution order of the processes represented by the process symbols arranged at equal position in the first direction is determined according to their position in the second direction.
