Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing change of sets of processing information that describe a process flow includes receiving a first activity description describing a first activity for performing a process flow, receiving a first formula description describing a first input and an output of the process flow, receiving a second formula description describing a second input and the same output of the process flow, and associating the first activity description with one of the first formula description and the second formula description.
Claims35
A computer-implemented method for managing change of sets of processing information that describe a process flow, the method comprising:
- receiving a first activity description describing a first activity for performing a process flow;
- receiving a first formula description describing a first input and an output of the process flow;
- receiving a second formula description describing a second input and the same output of the process flow;
- and
- associating the first activity description with one of the first formula description and the second formula description.
A computer program product, tangibly stored on machine readable media, for managing change of a set of processing information that describe process flows, the product comprising instructions to cause a processor to:
- receive a draft set of processing information that describes a process flow;
- update the draft set of processing information to reflect an approach to improving the process flow or other portion of the processing information;
- receive a copy command;
- and
- copy, in response to receipt of the copy command, the updated draft set of processing information to create a set of processing information that includes the approach.
A method for managing recipes, the method comprising:
- maintaining a plurality of versions of a recipe;
- maintaining a plurality of alternatives of the recipe;
- maintaining a plurality of variants of the recipe;
- and
- storing information that specifies a preference of the versions, alternative, and variants.
