Abstract

One object of the present disclosure is to flexibly and promptly save a processing solution in an apparatus for processing a substrate. An apparatus for processing a substrate is configured to change over a transfer time table between an ordinary mode that has a maximum throughput of the apparatus for processing the substrate and a processing solution saving mode that saves a processing solution in at least one of processing tanks. The apparatus for processing the substrate determines whether or not the apparatus for processing the substrate is in a slack period that has a small demand output by the apparatus for processing the substrate, based on a rate-controlling point that limits a processing speed of the entire apparatus for processing the substrate, and sets the transfer time table to the processing solution saving mode when it is determined that the apparatus for processing the substrate is in the slack period, while setting the transfer time table to the ordinary mode when it is determined that the apparatus for processing the substrate is not in the slack period.
