Patent ID: 6934704

Claim:
An automatic work standard setting system which gives manhour data to a target work standard, comprising: a first storage unit which stores a standard manhour database designed to be readable by a computer, in which a number of groups each constituted by a work standard described by a standard expression and manhour corresponding to the work standard are registered in advance; a second storage unit, designed to be readable by a computer, which stores a graphic file of an image for graphically showing a procedure of a work standard; a setting unit adapted to, for each of target work standards to which manhours are to be given, match an expression of target work standard with the standard expressions of the work standards in said standard manhour database and set a link to a graphic file corresponding to a matching work standard and a standard manhour, as a manhour of the target work standard, corresponding to the matching work standard in said database; and a manhour file unit adapted to store a file of manhours and links of the target work standards set by said setting unit, wherein said setting unit preferentially executes a search based on complete matching between the expression of the target work standard and the standard expression of the work standard in said standard manhour database and, a search based on partial matching for the target work standard for which the search based on complete matching to the standard expression of the work standard in said standard manhour database fails.
