ABSTRACT:
A movement sequence determining method of obtaining a preferred solution of movement sequence within a predetermined time and an apparatus for realizing it, includes at least an arithmetic step of generating a group including plural movement sequences that can be carried out, out of a group of movement sequence candidates, each indicating a visit order of plural process areas as well as scan directions of local areas in the plural process areas, and selecting a movement sequence in which a movement operation between plural process areas is completed in a shortest time, from the group generated, and a prestep of producing a movement time management table storing movement times, each from a movement start position to a movement end position, in unit lengths between process areas.
