The work instruction creating means 6 reads the work instruction table data from the table data storage means 17 and displays the work instruction screen on the display device 5a as a window. Here, the owner of the work list, for example, the project manager, needs to specify "address", "instruction work", "scheduled due date", etc. on the work order screen in order to request "Itakura" to design the system. After inputting (ST12), register in the database 2 (ST1
3).

Then, after registering in the database 2, the work list screen of "Itakura" which received the work instruction is started (ST1
4), the work instruction information is reflected on the work list screen (ST15).

Then, when the destination Itakura reads out and displays his work list screen, the backup and program design are reflected as shown in FIG. 7 (e), so the backup is made with a touch switch or a mouse. Alternatively, when the program design is designated, the work instruction creating means 6 is activated (ST17). Here, the work instruction creating means 6 uses the database 2 as shown in FIG.
If the work instruction screen of (d) is read out and displayed on the display device 5 as a window, the instructed work content can be easily referred to (ST18).

Therefore, according to the configuration of the above embodiment, by designating a destination on the work instruction screen and issuing a work instruction, the work is reflected on the work list screen of the destination.
By designating the reflected contents, the person in charge of the destination can easily refer to the instructed work contents, and can smoothly perform the work without receiving instructions from the manager or the like at the meeting or at the meeting. (Third Embodiment) FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram showing an embodiment of the project management support apparatus according to the third aspect.

This device is intended to mutually reflect the information written in the work list screen or the schedule table screen, and specifically, the input device 12 for inputting a specific screen display instruction and other necessary information, and From the table stored in the various table storage means 21, the work list of each level corresponding to FIG. 5 is read out, the work list screen of each level is created while displaying on the display device 5, and the information management means 3 is displayed. Through the work list creating means 1 stored in the database 2 and the various table storage means 21, the schedule table is read and displayed, and personal schedules are entered in units of months, weeks, days, etc. input from the input device 12. A schedule book creating means 7 for creating a schedule notebook and storing it in the database 2 via the information managing means 3, and a work list screen or a schedule stored in the image memory 22. It is constituted by a display control unit 16 for displaying Lumpur table screen on the display device 5.

The schedule table means the month, week,

Since the work list screen of each level is registered in the database, the work list screen can be created quickly, the necessary work list screen can be taken out and viewed, and the current work contents of each individual can be seen at a glance. I can figure it out.

Next, in the invention of claim 2, a work item having a work list screen or a process list screen is designated, a work instruction screen is taken out from the database and displayed in a window, and a work is addressed to a specific person in charge. If you write the work information for instructions and create and register the work instruction screen, you can easily refer to the work instruction contents if the person in charge of the destination specifies the reflection area, for example without receiving verbal instructions from the administrator. , You can work smoothly.

Further, according to the invention of claim 3, the work information on the work list screen and the work information on the schedule table screen are mutually reflected depending on the presence or absence of the flag on the work list screen and the schedule table screen, or The schedule notebook can be created from the work list screen without each person having to carry the schedule notebook, and without specially creating the schedule notebook.

In the invention of claim 4, when the work list screen and the schedule table screen are created, if a flag indicating the work status is added to each work information, the work information is reported when the report is created. Since the contents of this report can be reflected in the process table, the person in charge saves the trouble of creating a report using a word processor or the like and reporting the duplicated work contents verbally. You can grasp the report, process chart, and eventually the work progress and work record while you are there.

In the invention of claim 5, since the report is sent to the other party who needs it, and the report is sent again with appropriate comments from the other party, the report with the comment can be received, and it is appropriate. It is possible to proceed with the work under various comments and facilitate communication between the manager and the person in charge.
