Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an SGML document data creation work for creating, editing, and proofreading SGML document data. The present invention relates to centralized management of text, tables, and figures that can be handled in units of chapters, chapters, and sections to be edited, and to a process management method for editing instructions in which the amount of editing work is difficult to grasp.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Application No. 7-175060 discloses an example of a conventional process management system for creating electronic information for publication. In this system, it is possible to create a production plan in consideration of the required number of days and the delivery date for each item, determine a work allowable range by calculating a work load, and prioritize work.

[0003] However, the SGML that is the object of the present invention.
In the text of laws and regulations and example regulations written as document data, the text,
Since the work efficiency for tables and figures is different, the amount of work also varies according to information such as promulgation, revision, abolition, etc., published in the official gazette or gazette, even for the same laws and regulations. Therefore, the quantity and quality of work must be taken into consideration when drafting a work order that indicates the work instruction date, work start and end date, person in charge, and the like in updating work on a plurality of arbitrary laws and regulations.

[0004]

Generally, in the present-day publishing and publishing business, in the editing manuscript creation work caused by the promulgation, amendment, or abolition of national laws and regulations and local government regulations in the official gazette or gazette, We write in red. With such redacted manuscripts, a work plan for editing input work and proofreading work has been established. In other words, even in the same law or regulation, differences in the number of edited characters, the number of tables, and the number of figures are not taken into account, and the progress is not accurate. The inability to accurately grasp the progress situation leads to work delays and delays in reassigning workers.

[0005] In addition, since the official gazette and gazette are issued daily and contain information on the promulgation, revision, and abolition of the laws and regulations of the country and the regulations of local governments, for example, if editing work instructions are issued sequentially on a weekly basis, You have to plan. In such a case, there are a plurality of work plans, and a worker is involved in a plurality of work plans. Therefore, it is necessary to manage a plurality of work plans. In the progress management by the current workflow, only one work plan is managed, and a plurality of work plans cannot be created, updated, and managed.

An object of the present invention is to estimate the amount of work from a document to be edited, assign a worker in consideration of the quality of work, which text, table, or diagram has more work objects, reflect the amount of work, and By generating a work plan from the conversion, you can grasp the progress status in points,
An object of the present invention is to prevent a work delay and a delay in reassigning workers. Also, by simultaneously managing a plurality of work plans, another worker is additionally assigned to a plan in which a delay has occurred, thereby preventing an extreme delay from the work plan. In other words, the above problem is solved by simultaneously performing a series of progress management of generation / execution of a work plan and progress update for a plurality of work plans.

[0007]

An SGML document creation process management system according to the present invention comprises: an editing unit computer for registering information to be edited; a text, a table, and a drawing to be edited are converted into points in accordance with the required time of work; The total amount of work is expressed in points, and the production management department computer that creates a plan from the points per unit time of the worker in the worker information file and re-creates the plan from the work progress status, the conventional law-based By managing the progress not by management but by points, it is possible to grasp the progress of the overall work load.

An editing information file used as an editing manuscript can be shared by each computer from each computer of the editing section, production management section, operator, and proofreading section in each process. Manage with management file. The system registers information in the work information management file that manages the start / end status of editing instructions, editing input work, and proofreading work, and registers and sends the editing information file used as the edited manuscript in each process. Improve the efficiency of work transfer between processes.

Further, by referring to the work information management file, a plan whose work has not been completed is set as an update target,
The production management department computer, which can update the plan for each editing instruction date and each process and simultaneously manage and output a plurality of plans, reflects work progress and work results in the plan, thereby minimizing work delay.

The above operations are performed to create an editing information file for grasping the amount of work, to convert points, to create a work plan in consideration of the number of points and the skills of workers, and to calculate / work on the degree of progress by referring to the progress status. It is realized by the flow of delay detection and re-creation of work plan.
