for each of the plurality of parts, the work objects indicating the processes executed continuously are related, and

the intermediate object indicating the intermediate part is associated with the work objects; and

specify the plurality of parts for manufacturing the ordered product and the plurality of processes required before the product is completed, using the extracted matching template, generate the intermediate object indicating the intermediate part and the work objects, and create the workflow information.

7. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is configured to:

acquire manufacturing information for manufacturing the ordered product;

extract matching template that matches the manufacturing information from a storage based on the acquired information, the storage storing a plurality of pieces of template information in which

for each of the plurality of parts, the work objects indicating the processes required for manufacturing each part are related in the order of a plurality of works,

for each of the plurality of parts, the work objects indicating the processes executed continuously are related, and

the intermediate object indicating the intermediate part is associated with the work objects; and

specify the plurality of parts for manufacturing the ordered product and the plurality of processes required before the product is completed, using the extracted matching template, generate the intermediate object indicating the intermediate part and the work objects, and create the workflow information.

8. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to:

acquire manufacturing information for manufacturing the ordered product;

extract matching template that matches the manufacturing information from a storage based on the acquired information, the storage storing a plurality of pieces of template information in which

for each of the plurality of parts, the work objects indicating the processes required for manufacturing each part are related in the order of a plurality of the works,

for each of the plurality of parts, the work objects indicating the processes executed continuously are related, and

the intermediate object indicating the intermediate part is associated with the work objects; and

specify the plurality of parts for manufacturing the ordered product and the plurality of processes required before the product is completed, using the extracted matching template, generate the intermediate object indicating the intermediate part and the work objects, and create the workflow information.
