Work-flow system and work-flow system management method

摘要

A work-flow system that manages a progression status without wasted effort even when the work comprises a plurality of jobs. A definition-information-memory unit that stores work-flow-definition information in which the job types and an order of processing are correlated beforehand, and a request-receiving unit receives jobs comprising mutually related tasks as one work project. Persons in charge and the order of processing are set for the received work by a person-in-charge-setting unit based on the work-flow-definition information. Also, when a task of a job is processed by a person in charge, a judgment unit determines whether or not other tasks of other jobs that are related to the task being processed have already been processed, and when it is determined that all of the other related tasks have been processed, a processing-approval unit approves processing the next tasks of that work.
