  • Publication number: 20220156677
    Abstract: A process management system includes a first acquirer, a second acquirer, and a processing unit. The first acquirer is configured to acquire first time information on an amount of time for which a person is present in a work area. The second acquirer is configured to acquire second time information on an amount of motion time for which the person makes a prescribed motion in the work area. The processing unit acquires, in accordance with the first time information and the second time information, work information on work which the person carries out, the work including the prescribed motion.
