Title:
WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, METHOD THEREFOR, AND PROGRAM THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/004025
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention realizes workflow management which makes it possible to reduce the execution cost of a workflow that takes errors into consideration. A computer 1 that manages a workflow has a cost information collection calculation unit 122 and an improvement proposal unit 123. The cost information collection calculation unit 122 uses advance cost information, which has been collected in advance, to calculate the execution costs for one or more tasks to be executed in a workflow and for the entire workflow. The improvement proposal unit 123 identifies a verification process for verifying success of one or more tasks on the basis of execution history information of the workflow, and, via the verification process, detects, prior to task execution, the possibility of occurrence of a task anomaly in the workflow. The improvement proposal unit 123 totals the execution cost of one or more tasks for which execution can be omitted to calculate a task execution cost reduction amount; calculates an overhead, which is the execution cost of the verification process; and, on the basis of the task execution cost reduction amount and the overhead, calculates an improvement expectation amount, which is the amount of reduction in execution costs occurring during workflow operation.
