1. A processor-implemented method, the method comprising:
receiving, from a manufacturing executing system (MES), call information requesting one or more logistics types be supplied to one or more of a plurality of workstations;
generating a call occurrence history and a call grouping order according to a respective workstation of the plurality of workstations corresponding to the call information;
calculating a target path call count of a target path determined by the call grouping order, wherein the calculating is based on checking the call occurrence history of a shared workstation of the plurality of workstations sharing the target path;
calculating a shortest path call count with respect to calls that occur at paths other than the target path;
performing a call grouping using the target path call count and the shortest path call count;
generating a mission corresponding to a result of the call grouping; and
selecting a logistics robot to perform the mission using robot information received from among a plurality of logistics robots and assigning the mission to the selected logistics robot.
