Apparatus and system for managing work flow, and computer-readable storage medium for storing work flow management program

摘要

A system for managing a work flow functions efficiently at a high speed. To attain this, the system includes a plurality of work flow support units, and a work flow support unit management unit. The work flow support unit management unit determines which work flow support unit is to manage a work flow. At this time, the work flow support unit management unit refers to the load condition of each work flow support unit to instruct the work flow support unit indicating the smallest load state to manage work flows, thereby preventing the process load from concentrating on a specific work flow support unit.
