  • FLOOR PLAN BASED WORKFLOW MAPPING
    Publication number: 20160125341
    Abstract: A system for presenting graphic depictions of a workflow in a workplace gathers information to help it automatically identify the workflow. The system presents surveys to human resources and receives responses to develop various segments of the workflow. The system resolves any gaps by using the received responses to identify additional human resources who should receive surveys. It then presents surveys to the additional human resources, receives additional responses, and uses the additional responses to complete the workflow.
