Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a work analysis support method and device for supporting the creation of a work flow sheet required during system development, and a work analysis table used for the same.

In the upstream process of system development, a work flow is created for a work to be systemized, the work to be systemized is analyzed based on the work flow, and the range of systemization is determined. And determine the processing method for the new system. In addition, based on the business flow, the systemization requirements are summarized, and the business flow is modified according to the points of improvement and requests.

As described above, since the work flow plays an important role in system development, it is desired to efficiently create a work flow that represents all the work actually performed.

[0004]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to create a work flow at the time of system development, all the persons involved in the work to be systemized gather together to express their opinions for a long time and share the work as needed. Then, the business flow was created manually.

In addition, it is necessary to confirm whether all the related work is completely described in the created work flow, and whether there is a contradiction in the work.
The check for that was also done manually.

On the other hand, in the development of an information system in a company, in order to structure the entire system and clearly define the mutual relation between the business and the information, the business function is arranged in the vertical direction and the information in the horizontal direction. A matrix table in which is arranged is used (James Martin, translated by Hiro Sakamoto, "Strategic Construction of Information Systems", pages 81 to 95, Nikkei McGraw-Hill, June 20, 1985).

[0007]

However, in system development, since the contents of work to be systematized are generally extremely complicated and enormous, a great deal of time and labor is required to create a work flow due to inefficiency of manual work. It has been extremely difficult to manually create a work flow that covers all the related work and is error-free. In addition, it is extremely difficult to check the created work flow for omissions and description errors, and it is also difficult to adjust the time as a matter of fact that it is a fact that all the people involved in the work gather together.

In the conventional matrix table described above, the relationship between work and information is described, but it is not enough to create a work flow. Therefore, create a work flow based on the matrix table. I can't.
Therefore, at the time of system development, the business flow was created separately regardless of the existence of the matrix table.

Further, it has been difficult to analyze the relation between business, information, organization, etc. based on the created business flow. It is an object of the inventions of claims 1 to 5 to automatically create a business flow without any omission or description error in a short time by inputting necessary information.

Further, an object of the invention of claim 4 is to facilitate the modification of the created business flow. Further, the invention of claim 5 aims at facilitating the analysis of the relation between the work, the information and the organization in the work flow.

Entered by the perator .

The operator, in the two types of item groups in the lateral direction, to place the information FM earlier, to distribution <br/> place the tissue RG alongside it. Regarding the information FM, all information FMT such as forms, originals, computer screens, etc. used in the department.
Wash out all and arrange them in no particular order. Organization RG
For, regarding each organization (or job system) R that constitutes the department
All GNs are identified and arranged hierarchically for each set of related organization RGNs and within the set of related organization RGNs.

Then, with respect to the information FMT or the organization RGN related to each job BSW, the related mark MR is attached to the intersection of each matrix. The related mark MR between the work BSW and the information FMT includes C (generation), U
There are four types: (update), R (reference), and D (delete), and using any of these, the work BSW and the information FM
All relationships between T and the organization RGN are expressed. That is, the information FMT generated by a certain work BSW inputs C at their intersections.

The information FMT referred to by a certain job BSW inputs R at their intersections. The information FMT updated in certain jobs BSW inputs U at their intersections. Information FMT thrown away at some work BSW enters D at their intersection.

Then, one information FMT has a plurality of jobs B.
When the SWs are used in the same usage pattern, numbers are added in the order of usage in each of the same usage patterns. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the work 1, information 1 is generated, the information 1 represents that referenced in the work 2 to the work 4.
Also the work 2, indicating that refers to the information 1, and updates the information 2 and information 3. If the related mark MR is R, the information FMT is an input to the work BSW, and if the related mark MR is C or U, the information FMT is the work BMT.
Indicates that the output is from SW.

[0034] In addition, as a related mark MR between the work BSW and organization RGN, there use the circle. That is, regarding the organization RGN in which a certain work BSW is performed, circles are input at their intersections. For example, in the example of FIG.
Table that is performed in the tissue 1, the work 2 is performed in the tissue 2
You

In the work analysis table TBA, work B
Input and rearrangement of each item in S, information FM, and organization RG, and input of a related mark MR are performed by an operator inputting from the keyboard 14 or the like while looking at the work analysis table TBA displayed on the screen HG. . The contents of the work analysis table file 21 are updated by the work analysis table TBA to which the data is input. Business analysis table TBA
Is displayed on the screen HG as necessary, the content is corrected, deleted, copied as another file, or the printer device 1
Can be printed at 6.

According to the work analysis table TBA, the work BSW,
Since the correlation between the information FMT and the organization RGN is described in a simple and clear manner, it is possible to easily and completely describe the items necessary for business analysis or creation of business flow.

In FIG. 4, the business flow sheet FSB
Is an organization RG arranged in the business analysis table TBA shown in FIG.
Each organization RGN is divided corresponding to N, and the work BSW and the information FMT are arranged in each organization RGN and an arrow is arranged between them.

Next, the procedure for creating the business flow sheet FSB will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The input of the related mark MR to the work analysis table TBA by the keyboard 14 or the mouse 15 is completed (# 1
1), by the processor 11, creates a task flow sheet FSB partitioned for each tissue RGN (# 12), BSW work arranged in business analysis table TBA is taken out one in order from the upper, the The work BSW is placed in the compartment of the organization RGN in which the work is performed (# 13). Below, the processing equipment
The operation flowchart FSB shown in FIG.
The formation is done automatically.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, first, the work analysis table TB
The work 1 taken out from A is placed in the compartment of the tissue 1 surrounded by a box (square frame). Next, the work analysis table TBA is referred to, and the information FMT related to the work BSW arranged on the work flow sheet FSB is arranged on the work flow sheet FSB (# 14). At this time, the input information FMT is above the work BSW and the output information FMT.
In principle, the MTs are arranged below the work BSW. However, this is not necessarily the case.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the information 1 generated in the work 1 is placed in the compartment of the tissue 2 surrounded by a box. However, there is a degree of freedom in the arrangement position of the information FMT, and it is possible to arrange the information 1 below the work 1 in the section of the tissue 1, for example. At this stage, the two pieces of information 1 in the section of the organization 3 have not been placed yet. Further, although the box surrounding the information 1 is the same rectangular frame as in the case of work 1, this may be a parallelogram, for example.

Then, the work analysis table TBA is referred to, and the work BSW and the information F arranged in the work flow sheet FSB.
An arrow AR in a direction corresponding to the content of the related mark MR associated with MT is arranged between the MT and MT (# 15). At this time, the arrow AR indicates the information F if the related mark MR is R.
From MT to the work BSW, if the related mark MR is C or U, the work BSW goes to the information FMT. In addition,
When the information FMT is referred to in the arranged job BSW, if the information FMT is updated or generated by a higher-ranking job (work having a higher appearance order) BSW, it is determined as the higher-ranking job BSW. An arrow AR is arranged between the information FMT and the information FMT. When the related mark MR is a deletion mark, “deleted” is added to the arrow AR.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, information 1 at work 1
Is generated (C), an arrow AR1 pointing from the work 1 to the information 1 is arranged. At this time, "C" may be displayed near the arrow AR1.

Job B not assigned in the task analysis table TBA
If there is a SW (Yes in # 16), the processes in and after step # 13 are repeated. When all the work BSWs have been arranged (No in # 16), the work flow sheet FSB
Is stored in the sheet file 22 and the process ends (# 1
7).

In FIG. 4, after the placement process for work 1 is completed, work 2 is placed in the division of organization 2, information 2 and information 3 are placed in the division of organization 2, and work 2 Arrows AR2 to AR4 are arranged between and. Further, the work 3 is arranged in the section of the organization 3, the information 1 and the information 4 are arranged in the same section, and the arrows AR5 to AR7 are arranged. At this time, since the information 1 referred to by the arranged work 3 is generated by the work 1 higher than it, the arrow AR8 is arranged between the work 1 and the information 1.

Then, the work 4 is arranged in the compartment of the organization 3, the information 1, the information 4, and the information 5 are arranged, and the arrow AR9 is displayed.
Arrange AR11. Arrow A between work 1 and information 1
Place R12. Place the work 5 in the compartment of the organization 4,
Information 2 to 6 are arranged, and arrows AR13 to AR16 are arranged. An arrow AR17 is arranged between the work 3 and the information 4.
Work 6 is placed in the compartment of tissue 1 and arrow AR18 is placed. This completes the creation of the business flow sheet FSB corresponding to the business analysis table TBA in FIG.

As understood from the business flow sheet FSB of FIG. 4, when the information FMT used in the higher order is used in the lower order, the information FMT may be newly arranged or in the higher order work BSW. The arranged information FMT may also be used. Further, when arranging the information FMT, its position is not particularly limited.

By arranging the work BSW and the information FMT in the division of the organization RGN, it may be necessary to enlarge the division area, but the division area is automatically enlarged or reduced. .

Next, the check function of the work analysis support device 1 will be described. In the work analysis support device 1, the created work analysis table TBA and work flow sheet FSB
It is possible to automatically check whether there is a description omission or inconsistency. This check can be executed at any time by the operator operating the keyboard 14 or the mouse 15.

For example, for the information FMT described in the work analysis table TBA, the work BSW associated with each is 1
It is checked whether there is more than one. If there is no associated job BSW, either the information FMT is not used or the description of the required job BSW is missing, and a warning to that effect is displayed on the screen HG. And voice is emitted if necessary.

Further, it is checked whether or not each work BSW described in the work analysis table TBA is associated with only one organization RGN. If it is related to two or more organizations RGN, the work BSW is insufficiently subdivided or the work is a collaborative work, and a warning or message to that effect is displayed on the screen HG.

Further, with respect to the organizations RGN described in the business analysis table TBA, the work BSW related to each organization RGN is searched to find out, and it is checked whether the description of the job BSW is complete. .

Regarding the work flow sheet FSB, the work BSW described in the division of each organization RGN is the work analysis table T.
It is checked whether it matches with the work BSW corresponding to each organization RGN of BA.

Further, the relation between the information FMT and the work BSW described in the work flow sheet FSB, and the work analysis table TB
It is checked whether the relationship between the information FMT of A and the work BSW matches. The result of the check is displayed on the screen HG.
