Abstract: A business monitoring system and method having a supervisory work station and a staff work station as well, having a judgment condition storage function having stored therein a condition described for selecting and extracting contents of a business process transaction, having a judgment function for extracting a transaction having contents to be processed on the basis of the condition, and having a transaction-to-mail converting function for converting the transaction to a mail form according to the judgment result before sending it as electronic mail. The system and method allow a supervisor to register his problem concerned in the judgment condition storage function in a computer language suitable for end users or delete or change the already registered problem. The transaction-to-mail converting function allows the electronic mail converted to mail form to be sent to and stored in a mail box for the supervisory work station.

Abstract: An enterprise information system in which personal work stations, personal data bases which are held in the work stations, a processor only for use in a division, and intradivision data and interdivision data which are held in the processor are provided. An informal communication path directly connects the work stations in an enterprise among the divisions and an intradivision formal communication path mutually connects the work station in the division to the processor to hold the intradivision data base or the interdivision data base corresponding to the division or both of them. An interdivision formal communication path mutually connects the processors to hold the interdivision data bases. The intradivision data base can only be accessed by the intradivision formal communication path of the division.

Abstract: A data management method and system of memo information utilizing a data base can store personal memo information at a high storage efficiency and a high retrieval efficiency without adding a retrieval key to the data base. The data management system may be constructed by connecting a work station having a file for storing memo information to an existing data base system. The system has keys for indicating records of the data base and storage addresses of the corresponding memo information as a connective index file, and refers to it to store, retrieve or delete the memo information. A plurality of memo information for the same record may be displayed on a display of the work station in a time sequence and the memo information are paged.

Abstract: A computer system executing business processings is disclosed, in which work stations, which themselves have processing functions, are combined with a host computer. In the host computer is disposed a basic electronic data processing system executing typical standardized processings. Each of the work stations executes business processings added to those executed by the basic electronic data processing system according to processing conditions set by a user of the work station.

Abstract: With the aim of designing efficiently and quickly such plans as production plans having a variety of requirements involved and requiring frequent modification of software, a planning logic prepared without regard to the preparation sequence of a plan is converted into a planning program. Upon the conversion, the planning logic is edited so that only part of the planning logic requiring modification may be modified, and a result of modification is displayed on a screen so as to be checked through a display.
