Abstract

A process-management system and a process-management method are provided. The process-management system includes a process-planning module, a process-management module, and a process-executing module. The process-planning module stores a preset workflow and is configured to receive a first input instruction and a second input instruction. The process-planning module provides the preset workflow according to the first input instruction, and adjusts the preset workflow according to the second input instruction to generate a customized workflow. The process-management module is electrically connected to the process-planning module and is configured to generate a work instruction according to the preset workflow or the customized workflow. The process-executing module is electrically connected to the process-management module and configured to process a workpiece according to the work instruction.

Claims (14)

1 . A process-management method, comprising:

receiving a first input instruction through a process-planning module of a process-management system;

providing a preset workflow through the process-planning module according to the first input instruction;

receiving a second input instruction through the process-planning module;

adjusting the preset workflow through the process-planning module according to the second input instruction to generate a customized workflow, wherein the step of adjusting the preset workflow to generate the customized workflow comprises:

adjusting a process start-point, a work item, and a process end-point of the preset workflow according to the second input instruction, wherein the work item comprises a process sequence, a process time, a process resource, and a processing device corresponding to the work instruction;

generating a work instruction through a process-management module of the process-management system according to the customized workflow; and

processing a workpiece through a process-executing module of the process-management system according to the work instruction, wherein the step of executing the work instruction through the process-executing module of the process-management system comprises:

receiving a first instruction of the work instruction;

performing a first processing on a workpiece according to the first instruction through a first processing device controlled through the process-executing module;

transmitting process information generated through the first processing device to a second processing device;

adjusting a second processing through a second processing device according to the process information;

receiving a second instruction of the work instruction; and

performing the second processing on the workpiece according to the second instruction through the second processing device controlled through the process-executing module.
