As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 8 includes an input/output section (Ilo) 10, a central processing unit (CPU) 11, a memory section 12, and an audio output board 13. A correspondence table between product types and parts to be assembled is set in advance in the memory 12, and parts to be assembled to the product 2 are determined based on this comparison. Note that a sensor 5 and a lamp 6 are connected to the l1010, and a speaker 7 is connected to the audio output board 13.
