Patent ID: 8069074

Claim:
An information processing terminal for supporting quality improvement concerning product manufacture, the information processing terminal comprising: a processor; and a storage area to store workflow design data for arranging a plurality of workflows in a matrix and flow control data indicating an execution order in the matrix; wherein the processor includes: a workflow arrangement part configured to arrange the plurality of workflows in the matrix based on row information indicating a first arrangement location of each of the plurality of workflows acquired from the workflow design data stored in the storage area, and display the plurality of workflows in the matrix; a process component arrangement part configured to arrange each of a plurality of process components based on row and column information indicating a second arrangement location of each of the plurality of process components in each of the plurality of workflows acquired from the workflow design data stored in the storage area, and display the plurality of process components in the matrix; a data association part configured to perform a data association among the plurality of process components in accordance with data link lines defined by the workflow design data stored in the storage area within each of the plurality of workflows or the data link lines crossing from one workflow to another workflow with respect to the plurality of process components arranged and displayed in the plurality of workflows; and an execution part configured to execute the plurality of process components in accordance with the execution order indicated by the flow control data to verify a quality improvement, wherein in response to deleting or adding an item with respect to one of the plurality of process components in the matrix, the execution part eliminates an item inconsistency related to an association process component associated with multiple process components being data association originators by: tracking back to original upper process components in accordance with the data link lines in the workflow design data, and acquiring items of the association process component.
