<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a work flow management system for achieving the sharp reduction of management man-hours or a lead time. <P>SOLUTION: A workflow management system manages the flow of an operation by using a computer. The workflow definition is provided to define the operation contents and operation procedures of a plurality of tasks, and to define an evaluation expression for evaluating the executing situations of each task. The operation content of each task is defined by using entity having variable state quantity as data necessary for executing the operation and data showing the operation result. The evaluation expression is provided to define prescribed conditions to be satisfied by the state quantity of the entity. In the case of executing the task, the evaluation value of the state quantity of the entity is calculated by using the evaluation expression, and validity/invalidity of the state quantity is decided. When the state quantity of the entity satisfies prescribed conditions, the next task is executed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
