　Input/outputカード作成部１５は、業務毎に入力情報および出力情報が定義される複数の「入出力カード」の一例としてのInput/outputカード２５（図２参照）を作成する。さらに、Input/outputカード作成部１５は、複数のInput/outputカード２５のうちの一のInput/outputカード２５の入力情報と他のInput/outputカード２５の出力情報に基づいて、複数のInput/outputカード２５（図２参照）間の関連度を算出する。 The input/output card creation unit 15 creates input/output cards 25 (see FIG. 2) as an example of multiple "input/output cards" in which input information and output information are defined for each business. Furthermore, the input/output card creation unit 15 calculates the degree of association between multiple input/output cards 25 (see FIG. 2) based on the input information of one input/output card 25 out of the multiple input/output cards 25 and the output information of the other input/output cards 25.
　業務プロセス生成管理部１６は、Input/outputカード作成部１５および業務プロセス生成部１７を制御して、業務プロセスを生成する一連の業務プロセス生成処理を管理する。尚、関連度には、閾値が設定されていてよい。 The business process generation management unit 16 controls the input/output card creation unit 15 and the business process generation unit 17 to manage a series of business process generation processes that generate business processes. A threshold value may be set for the relevance.
　業務プロセス生成部１７は、Input/outputカード作成部１５によって算出された関連度に基づいて、業務プロセスを生成する。出力部１８は、Input/outputカード２５、業務プロセスおよび関連度の閾値を端末２０の画面に表示する。 The business process generation unit 17 generates a business process based on the relevance calculated by the input/output card creation unit 15. The output unit 18 displays the input/output cards 25, the business process, and the relevance threshold on the screen of the terminal 20.
　図２は、入出力カードの表示例を示す図である。 Figure 2 shows an example of the display of an input/output card.
　入出力カード２５には、項目として、入力（Input）、出力（Ｏutput）、担当部門、資源、基準、およびその他の情報が業務毎に定義されている。入力情報には、Input 1（資料、データなど）、Input 2、…、Input Nと、前部門とが含まれる。出力情報は、Output 1（資料、データなど）、Output 2、…、Output Mと、後部門とが含まれる。 The I/O card 25 defines the following items for each business: input, output, department in charge, resources, standards, and other information.

Output information includes Output 1 (materials, data, etc.), Output 2, ..., Output M, and the next department.
　図３は、業務プロセス生成処理のシーケンス図である。 Figure 3 is a sequence diagram of the business process generation process.
　ユーザは、Input/outputカード２５の入力、出力、担当部門、資源、基準、およびその他の情報を、部署ａ１，ａ２，ｂ毎またはユーザ毎に端末２０に入力する。端末２０は、入力された情報を入力部１３に送信する。入力部１３は、受信した情報をInput/outputカード作成部１５に送信する。 The user inputs the input, output, department, resources, standards, and other information of the input/output card 25 into the terminal 20 for each department a1, a2, b or for each user. The terminal 20 transmits the input information to the input unit 13. The input unit 13 transmits the received information to the input/output card creation unit 15.
　Input/outputカード作成部１５は、受信した情報に基づいて、Input/outputカード２５を作成する。Input/outputカード作成部１５は、作成したInput/outputカード２５を情報記録部１４に送信する。情報記録部１４は、受信したInput/outputカード２５を記憶する。 The input/output card creation unit 15 creates an input/output card 25 based on the received information. The input/output card creation unit 15 sends the created input/output card 25 to the information recording unit 14. The information recording unit 14 stores the received input/output card 25.
　出力部１８は、情報記録部１４に記憶されたInput/outputカード２５を端末２０に送信する。端末２０は、その画面にInput/outputカード２５を表示する。これにより、ユーザは、端末２０の画面でInput/outputカード２５を確認することができる。 The output unit 18 transmits the input/output card 25 stored in the information recording unit 14 to the terminal 20. The terminal 20 displays the input/output card 25 on its screen. This allows the user to check the input/output card 25 on the screen of the terminal 20.
　次に、ユーザは、複数のInput/outputカード２５間の関連度を算出する引き当て処理の実行を開始する図示しないボタンを押下する。端末２０は、入力された引き当て処理の実行開始信号を入力部１３に送信する。入力部１３は、受信した実行開始信号をInput/outputカード作成部１５に送信する。 Next, the user presses a button (not shown) to start the execution of an allocation process that calculates the degree of association between multiple input/output cards 25. The terminal 20 transmits the input allocation process execution start signal to the input unit 13. The input unit 13 transmits the received execution start signal to the input/output card creation unit 15.
　Input/outputカード作成部１５は、実行開始信号を受信すると、複数のInput/outputカード２５のうちの一のInput/outputカード２５の入力情報と他のInput/outputカード２５の出力情報に基づいて、複数のInput/outputカード２５間の関連度を算出する。具体的には、Input/outputカード作成部１５は、複数のInput/outputカード２５のうち、一のInput/outputカード２５の入力情報と、他のInput/outputカード２５の出力情報との名称が一致しているかを判定する。例えば、関連度は、名称が完全に一致する場合、１．０とする(例：前の業務Aのoutput1が“基本設計書A”で後の業務Bのinput1が“基本設計書A”の場合、全文字の内容が一致するため１とする)。さらに、関連度は、名称が部分的に一致する場合、一致する割合（例：０．５　前の業務Aのoutput1が“設計書”で、後の業務Bのinput1が“基本設計書A”の場合、一致する文字数/全文字数＝０．５）とする。Input/outputカード作成部１５は、算出した関連度を情報記録部１４に送信する。情報記録部１４は、受信した関連度を記憶する。 When the input/output card creation unit 15 receives an execution start signal, it calculates the relevance between multiple input/output cards 25 based on the input information of one input/output card 25 among the multiple input/output cards 25 and the output information of the other input/output cards 25. Specifically, the input/output card creation unit 15 determines whether the name of one input/output card 25 matches the name of the output information of the other input/output cards 25 among the multiple input/output cards 25. For example, the relevance is set to 1.0 when the names match completely (e.g., if output1 of the previous task A is "basic design document A" and input1 of the subsequent task B is "basic design document A", the content of all characters matches, so the relevance is set to 1). Furthermore, when the names match partially, the relevance is set to the matching ratio (e.g., 0.5; if output1 of the previous task A is "design document" and input1 of the subsequent task B is "basic design document A", the number of matching characters/total number of characters = 0.5). The input/output card creation unit 15 sends the calculated relevance to the information recording unit 14. The information recording unit 14 stores the received relevance.
　出力部１８は、情報記録部１４に記憶された関連度を端末２０に送信する。端末２０は、その画面に関連度を表示する。これにより、ユーザは、端末２０の画面で関連度を確認することができる。 The output unit 18 transmits the relevance stored in the information recording unit 14 to the terminal 20. The terminal 20 displays the relevance on its screen. This allows the user to check the relevance on the screen of the terminal 20.
　次に、ユーザは、名称修正処理の実行を開始する図示しないボタンを押下する。名称修正処理は、Input/outputカード２５の入力、出力、担当部門、資源、基準、およびその他の情報のうち少なくとも何れかの名称を修正する処理である。端末２０は、後述する名称修正処理を実行し、その結果をユーザに表示する。 Then, the user presses a button (not shown) that starts the execution of the name correction process. The name correction process is a process that corrects the names of at least one of the inputs, outputs, departments in charge, resources, standards, and other information of the Input/Output card 25. The terminal 20 executes the name correction process described below and displays the results to the user.
　次に、ユーザは、業務プロセスを生成する業務プロセス生成処理の実行を開始する図示しないボタンを押下する。端末２０は、後述する業務プロセス生成処理を実行し、その結果をユーザに表示する。 Next, the user presses a button (not shown) that starts the execution of the business process generation process that generates a business process. The terminal 20 executes the business process generation process described below and displays the results to the user.
　図４は、引き当て処理を説明する模式図である。 Figure 4 is a schematic diagram explaining the allocation process.
　引き当て処理において、Input/outputカード作成部１５は、全ての業務Ａ～Ｆ間の関連度を算出する。例えば図１４の下部に示した通り，すべての組み合わせにおける関連度を算出する。出力部１８は、関連度が高い業務間を矢印で接続する。この例では、業務Ａの出力情報と業務Ｂ，Ｆの入力情報、業務Ｂの出力情報と業務Ｃの入力情報、業務Ｃ，Ｄの出力情報と業務Ｅの入力情報、および業務Ｅの出力情報と業務Ｆの入力情報それぞれの関連度が閾値よりも高いことを示している。 In the allocation process, the input/output card creation unit 15 calculates the degree of association between all tasks A to F. For example, as shown in the lower part of Figure 14, the degree of association for all combinations is calculated. The output unit 18 uses arrows to connect tasks with high degrees of association. In this example, it shows that the degree of association between the output information of task A and the input information of tasks B and F, the output information of task B and the input information of task C, the output information of tasks C and D and the input information of task E, and the output information of task E and the input information of task F are all higher than the threshold value.
　図５は、名称修正処理を示すフローチャートである。 Figure 5 is a flowchart showing the name correction process.
　まず、Input/outputカード作成部１５は、未処理のInput/outputカード２５があるか否かを判定する（Ｓ５１）。Input/outputカード作成部１５は、Ｓ５１の判定結果が偽の場合、名称修正処理を終了する。 First, the input/output card creation unit 15 determines whether or not there is an unprocessed input/output card 25 (S51). If the result of the determination in S51 is false, the input/output card creation unit 15 ends the name correction process.
　Input/outputカード作成部１５は、Ｓ５１の判定結果が真の場合、未処理のInput/outputカード２５を選定し、選定したInput/outputカード２５を出力部１８に送信する。出力部１８は、受信したInput/outputカード２５を端末２０に送信する。端末２０は、その画面に受信したInput/outputカード２５を表示する（Ｓ５２）。 If the determination result in S51 is true, the input/output card creation unit 15 selects an unprocessed input/output card 25 and transmits the selected input/output card 25 to the output unit 18. The output unit 18 transmits the received input/output card 25 to the terminal 20. The terminal 20 displays the received input/output card 25 on its screen (S52).
　Input/outputカード作成部１５は、関連度が所定の閾値よりも高いInput/outputカード２５の入力情報および出力情報の名称を出力部１８に送信する。出力部１８は、受信したInput/outputカード２５の入力情報および出力情報の名称を端末２０に送信する。端末２０は、その画面に受信したInput/outputカード２５の入力情報および出力情報の名称を表示する（Ｓ５３）。 The input/output card creation unit 15 transmits to the output unit 18 the names of the input information and output information of the input/output cards 25 whose relevance is higher than a predetermined threshold. The output unit 18 transmits the names of the received input information and output information of the input/output cards 25 to the terminal 20. The terminal 20 displays on its screen the names of the received input information and output information of the input/output cards 25 (S53).
　ユーザは、Input/outputカード２５の入力、出力、担当部門、資源、基準、およびその他の情報のうち少なくとも何れかの更新情報を端末２０に入力する（Ｓ５４）。端末２０は、入力された更新情報を入力部１３に送信する。入力部１３は、受信した更新情報をInput/outputカード作成部１５に送信する。 The user inputs update information for at least any of the input, output, department, resources, standards, and other information of the input/output card 25 into the terminal 20 (S54). The terminal 20 transmits the input update information to the input unit 13. The input unit 13 transmits the received update information to the input/output card creation unit 15.
　Input/outputカード作成部１５は、受信した更新情報に基づいて、Input/outputカード２５を更新する。Input/outputカード作成部１５は、更新したInput/outputカード２５を情報記録部１４に送信する。情報記録部１４は、Input/outputカード２５を記憶する（Ｓ５５）。 The input/output card creation unit 15 updates the input/output card 25 based on the received update information. The input/output card creation unit 15 sends the updated input/output card 25 to the information recording unit 14. The information recording unit 14 stores the input/output card 25 (S55).
　出力部１８は、情報記録部１４に記憶されたInput/outputカード２５を端末２０に送信する。端末２０は、その画面に更新されたInput/outputカード２５を表示する。これにより、ユーザは、端末２０の画面で更新されたInput/outputカード２５を確認することができる。 The output unit 18 transmits the input/output card 25 stored in the information recording unit 14 to the terminal 20. The terminal 20 displays the updated input/output card 25 on its screen. This allows the user to check the updated input/output card 25 on the screen of the terminal 20.
　図６は、業務プロセス生成処理を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the business process generation process.
　まず、ユーザは、業務プロセスの先頭のInput/outputカード２５、または入力情報が含まれないInput/outputカード２５を指定する（Ｓ６１）。業務プロセス生成部１７は、残りの先頭カードがあるか否かを判定する（Ｓ６２）。業務プロセス生成部１７は、Ｓ６２の判定結果が偽の場合、業務プロセス生成処理を終了する。 First, the user specifies the first input/output card 25 of the business process, or an input/output card 25 that does not contain any input information (S61). The business process generation unit 17 determines whether there are any remaining first cards (S62). If the result of the determination in S62 is false, the business process generation unit 17 ends the business process generation process.
　業務プロセス生成部１７は、Ｓ６２の判定結果が真の場合、先頭カード以外に残りのカードがあるか否かを判定する（Ｓ６３）。業務プロセス生成部１７は、Ｓ６３の判定結果が真の場合、Input/outputカード２５間の関連度を算出する（Ｓ６４）。業務プロセス生成部１７は、算出した関連度をInput/outputカード２５の名称と合わせて情報記録部１４に記憶する（Ｓ６５）。 If the result of the determination in S62 is true, the business process generation unit 17 determines whether there are any remaining cards other than the first card (S63). If the result of the determination in S63 is true, the business process generation unit 17 calculates the degree of association between the input/output cards 25 (S64). The business process generation unit 17 stores the calculated degree of association together with the name of the input/output card 25 in the information recording unit 14 (S65).
　業務プロセス生成部１７は、Ｓ６２の判定結果が偽の場合、後工程の候補があるか否か（今のInput/outputカード２５の出力情報に繋がる入力情報があるInput/outputカード２５があるか否か）を判定する（Ｓ６６）。業務プロセス生成部１７は、Ｓ６６の判定結果が偽の場合、Ｓ６２に戻る。業務プロセス生成部１７は、Ｓ６６の判定結果が真の場合、後部門のInput/outputカード２５を選出する（Ｓ６７）。業務プロセス生成部１７は、選出したInput/outputカード２５を現時点のInput/outputカード２５とする（Ｓ６８）。 If the determination result in S62 is false, the business process generation unit 17 determines whether or not there is a candidate for a subsequent process (whether or not there is an Input/output card 25 that has input information that is connected to the output information of the current Input/output card 25) (S66). If the determination result in S66 is false, the business process generation unit 17 returns to S62. If the determination result in S66 is true, the business process generation unit 17 selects an Input/output card 25 for the subsequent department (S67). The business process generation unit 17 sets the selected Input/output card 25 as the current Input/output card 25 (S68).
　図７は、関連度保存テーブルの一例を示す図である。 FIG. 7 shows an example of a relevance storage table.
　情報記録部１４には、関連度保存テーブルが格納される。関連度保存テーブルは、業務Ａ～Ｆ毎の相互の関連度が含まれる。関連度は、０～１．０の範囲内の値となる。 The information recording unit 14 stores an association degree storage table. The association degree storage table includes the mutual association degree for each task A to F. The association degree is a value within the range of 0 to 1.0.
　図８～１０は、端末の画面を説明する模式図である。 Figures 8 to 10 are schematic diagrams explaining the terminal screen.
　端末２０の画面には、図８上部に示すように、業務プロセス３１と、閾値３２と、スクロールバー３３とが表示される。業務プロセス３１の下方には、業務プロセス３１の業務Ａ～Ｆそれぞれの工程が表示される。この例において、業務プロセス３１の業務Ａ、業務Ｂ，Ｄ、業務Ｃ、業務Ｅ、業務Ｆそれぞれは、設計工程、調達工程、製造工程、検査工程、出荷工程である。閾値３２は、ユーザによるスクロールバー３３の操作または端末２０への値の入力により、更新される。 As shown in the upper part of FIG. 8, the screen of the terminal 20 displays a business process 31, a threshold 32, and a scroll bar 33. Below the business process 31, the steps of each of the tasks A to F of the business process 31 are displayed. In this example, task A, tasks B, D, task C, task E, and task F of the business process 31 are a design process, a procurement process, a manufacturing process, an inspection process, and a shipping process, respectively. The threshold 32 is updated by the user operating the scroll bar 33 or by inputting a value into the terminal 20.
　例えば、業務プロセス３１は、閾値３２が１．０から０．５に更新されると、図８下部に示すように、業務プロセス３４が更新される。更新後の業務プロセス３４は、業務プロセス３１に比べ、業務Ｂから業務Ｅと、業務Ｄから業務Ｃとが新たに矢印で接続される。 For example, when threshold value 32 of business process 31 is updated from 1.0 to 0.5, business process 34 is updated as shown in the lower part of FIG. 8. Compared to business process 31, after the update, business process 34 has new arrows connecting business B to business E and business D to business C.
　図９は、端末の他の画面を説明する模式図である。 Figure 9 is a schematic diagram explaining other screens of the terminal.
　端末２０の画面には、図９に示すように、業務プロセス３１と、閾値３２と、スクロールバー３３に加え、その他欄３５と、Input/outputカード２５と、変更ボタン３６と、確定ボタン３７と、削除ボタン３８とが表示される。 As shown in FIG. 9, the screen of the terminal 20 displays a business process 31, a threshold 32, a scroll bar 33, as well as a Other field 35, an Input/output card 25, a Change button 36, a Confirm button 37, and a Delete button 38.
　その他欄３５には、業務プロセス３１に含まれる業務Ａ～Ｆのうち何れの業務とも関連性が低い業務が表示される欄である（図９中では無表示）。 The "Other" column 35 displays tasks that are not highly related to any of the tasks A to F included in the business process 31 (not shown in Figure 9).
　ユーザが業務プロセス３１の業務Ａを押下すると、その業務Ａの色の表示が変更（点滅）すると共に、業務ＡのInput/outputカード２５が表示される。その後、ユーザが変更ボタン３６を押下すると、ユーザによってInput/outputカード２５の各項目を更新することが可能となる。その後、ユーザが確定ボタン３７を押下すると、Input/outputカード２５の各項目の更新が確定する。尚、ユーザが削除ボタン３８を押下すると、ユーザが選択した情報が削除される。 When the user presses Task A in the business process 31, the color of Task A changes (flashes) and the Input/output card 25 for Task A is displayed. If the user then presses the Change button 36, the user can update each item on the Input/output card 25. If the user then presses the Confirm button 37, the updates to each item on the Input/output card 25 are confirmed. If the user presses the Delete button 38, the information selected by the user is deleted.
　図１０は、端末の他の画面を説明する模式図である。 Figure 10 is a schematic diagram explaining other screens of the terminal.
　その他欄３５に業務Ｃが表示された例について説明する。例えば、業務プロセス３１に含まれる業務Ｃと、その業務Ｃ以外の業務Ａ，Ｂ，Ｄ～Ｆとの関連性が低い場合、その他欄３５には、業務Ｃが表示される。これにより、ユーザが他の業務Ａ，Ｂ，Ｄ～Ｆとは関係性の低い業務Ｃを見直すことができる。 An example will be described in which task C is displayed in the others column 35. For example, if task C included in the business process 31 has a low correlation with tasks A, B, and D to F other than task C, task C will be displayed in the others column 35. This allows the user to review task C, which has a low correlation with the other tasks A, B, and D to F.
　この構成によれば、複数の業務Ａ～Ｆ間の関連性を示す業務プロセス３１を生成する業務プロセス生成装置１０であって、少なくとも一つのプロセッサ１１と、少なとも一つのメモリ１２とを備え、プロセッサ１１は、メモリ１２に記憶された所定のコンピュータプログラムを実行することにより、業務Ａ～Ｆ毎に入力情報および出力情報が定義される複数のInput/outputカード２５を作成し、作成された複数のInput/outputカード２５のうち一のInput/outputカード２５の入力情報と他のInput/outputカード２５の出力情報に基づいて、複数のInput/outputカード２５間の関連度を算出するInput/outputカード作成部１５と、Input/outputカード作成部１５によって算出された関連度に基づいて、業務プロセス３４を生成する業務プロセス生成部１７と、を実現する。これにより、複数の業務間の関係性を示す業務プロセス３４を適切に生成することができる。 According to this configuration, a business process generation device 10 that generates a business process 31 that indicates the relationship between multiple tasks A to F includes at least one processor 11 and at least one memory 12, and the processor 11 executes a predetermined computer program stored in the memory 12 to create multiple input/output cards 25 in which input information and output information are defined for each task A to F, and realizes an input/output card creation unit 15 that calculates the degree of association between the multiple input/output cards 25 based on the input information of one input/output card 25 and the output information of the other input/output cards 25 out of the multiple input/output cards 25 that have been created, and a business process generation unit 17 that generates a business process 34 based on the degree of association calculated by the input/output card creation unit 15. This makes it possible to appropriately generate a business process 34 that indicates the relationship between multiple tasks.
　さらに、プロセッサ１１は、メモリ１２に記憶された所定のコンピュータプログラムを実行することにより、ユーザの操作が入力される入力部１３と、Input/outputカード２５を表示する出力部１８と、をさらに実現し、入力部１３には、出力部１８に表示されたInput/outputカード２５の少なくとも入力情報および出力情報の何れかの更新情報が入力され、Input/outputカード作成部１５は、更新情報に基づいてInput/outputカード２５を更新する。これにより、ユーザはInput/outputカード２５を視認しながら更新情報を入力することができ、業務プロセス３４の生成が容易となる。 Furthermore, by executing a predetermined computer program stored in the memory 12, the processor 11 further realizes an input unit 13 to which user operations are input, and an output unit 18 to display input/output cards 25, and update information of at least the input information and output information of the input/output cards 25 displayed on the output unit 18 is input to the input unit 13, and the input/output card creation unit 15 updates the input/output cards 25 based on the update information. This allows the user to input update information while visually checking the input/output cards 25, making it easier to generate business processes 34.
　Input/outputカード生成部１５は、入力部１３を介してユーザに指定されたInput/outputカード２５、または入力情報を含まないInput/outputカード２５を、業務プロセス３１の先頭のInput/outputカード２５に設定する。これにより、複数の起点を有する業務プロセス３４を適切に生成することができる。 The input/output card generation unit 15 sets the input/output card 25 specified by the user via the input unit 13, or the input/output card 25 that does not contain input information, as the first input/output card 25 of the business process 31. This makes it possible to appropriately generate a business process 34 that has multiple starting points.
　関連度の閾値３２を格納する情報記録部１４を備え、Input/outputカード生成部１５は、閾値が変更される毎に業務プロセス３１を更新する。これにより、ユーザが閾値毎の業務プロセス３４をリアルタイムに視認しながら、業務プロセス３４を生成することができる。 The system includes an information recording unit 14 that stores the relevance threshold 32, and the input/output card generating unit 15 updates the business process 31 every time the threshold is changed. This allows the user to generate the business process 34 while visually checking the business process 34 for each threshold in real time.
　出力部１８には、Input/outputカード２５、業務プロセス３１および閾値３２が表示され、入力部１３には、出力部１８に表示された閾値３２の更新値が入力され、Input/outputカード生成部１５は、更新値に基づいて業務プロセス３１を更新する。これにより、ユーザがInput/outputカード２５および業務プロセス３１を視認しながら、閾値３２の更新値を入力することができ、業務プロセス３４を適切に生成することができる。 The output unit 18 displays the input/output card 25, business process 31, and threshold 32, the input unit 13 receives an updated value of the threshold 32 displayed on the output unit 18, and the input/output card generation unit 15 updates the business process 31 based on the updated value. This allows the user to input an updated value of the threshold 32 while visually checking the input/output card 25 and business process 31, and the business process 34 can be appropriately generated.
