  • Publication number: 20040098281
    Abstract: A system and a method for document processing management are provided for use in a network environment, for managing part/material documents associated with production fabrication and monitoring approval and verification of the part/material documents to accordingly establish electronic forms of data records. A process flow control module selects predetermined approval and verification procedures used to process the part/material documents and updates a status of document approval and verification. A mail receiving/sending module periodically informs responsible signing departments to perform document approval and verification, and sends mails to other signing departments when document approval and verification is completed. An identity-identifying module identifies and provides a user with appropriate access rights for approval and verification.

  • Publication number: 20040068444
    Abstract: A method and a system for applying a part number are provided, for allowing a user to apply a part number through a network terminal device via a network communication system, with data relevant to part number application being stored in a database. First, a form search module searches a part-number application form from the database according to operation conditions input by the user for allowing the user to input data for applying a part number. A data comparison module determines if this part number already exists or is currently being applied by another user; if yes, the data comparison module provides relevant data to this part number as a reference for the user who intends to apply the part number; otherwise, a data verification module transmits the part-number application form to examination units for verification. Finally, a data storage module stores the examined part-number application form in the database.
