A system used in a factory for manufacturing a vehicle includes: a remote control unit remotely controlling a vehicle capable of running in a factory in a manufacturing process at the factory, the vehicle including a communication device having a communication function for remote control and a secondary battery for running; a state-of-charge acquisition unit acquiring a state of charge of the secondary battery; and a state-of-charge adjustment determination unit acquiring a target value of the state of charge and determining whether or not to adjust the state of charge using the acquired target value and a current state of charge. When the state-of-charge adjustment determination unit determines that the state of charge is to be adjusted, the remote control unit executes a state-of-charge adjustment process by the remote control of the vehicle, thereby bringing the state of charge closer to the target value, wherein the state-of-charge adjustment process includes at least one of a discharging process for discharging the secondary battery and a charging process for charging the secondary battery.
