ABSTRACT:
In a work flow management apparatus of the present invention, a packet of necessary information is given to each step when the step is started, and the step execution result is returned to the information packet from the step. Routing preprocessing unit is provided for adding an information field for determining whether or not the step is to be routed to its subsequent step to the information packet transferred between the person in charge of the step and the system. Routing postprocessing unit is provided for determining whether or not the step is to be routed to its subsequent step based on the information field contents in the information packet from the person in charge of the step.
