In one embodiment, the information about the parts and materials may be received from a server. In one embodiment, the information of the parts and materials to be stored may be for all possible parts and materials, but is preferably information about parts and materials frequently used in the inspection and repair of the elevator. In one embodiment, when a list of information about parts and materials is displayed on the screen, the elevator driver selects a use request for the required parts or materials from the list. In response to the selection of the use request, the terminal transmits a use request signal for the corresponding part or material to the server, and the server forwards the use request signal to the material manager. The material manager decides whether to approve the use request, and a signal from the server is sent to the terminal for the elevator driver to pick up or receive the part or material. Conventionally, there are many programs for managing materials, but in reality, there were many difficulties in using them except for the person in charge of materials. However, parts that frequently fail or are often needed in the field are often well known to both the elevator driver and the material manager. Nevertheless, it is not easy to select the necessary parts from a list of too many materials, and even if the parts are selected, the process of applying and receiving is often very difficult. Therefore, by storing and simply applying parts and materials frequently used in the elevator management system program of the elevator driver, the elevator driver can easily obtain parts and materials without complicated procedures. It is easy to manage because the information needs to be updated based on parts and materials that are easy to procure.
