The Design and Implementation of a Process-Based Printing Order Management System

In order to solve the problem of isolated order information among production processes, which leads to the information cannot be transferred timely and shared effectively, a system of information tracking is presented in this paper. The BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) specification is adopted to establish order process model. The model can be used to describe the company´s core business and the order information transmission process with the process-oriented thinking. Then Web standard-JSF (Java Server Faces) is introduced to develop the system. The operation results show that order information can be transferred timely, fast, accurately, which avoids the delays or inaccuracies caused by manual operation. Meanwhile the managers can follow the tracks of the order progress at all times and provide clients with advice. The process-based order management system improved the information management ability of the printing enterprise and laid foundation for the realization of informatization enterprise-wide.
