Workflow configuration tool of the build time, process management tool of the run time and message service tool are the important modules of workflow management system. All the components of the system use object-oriented method to design and implementation. UML diagrams use Rational Rose software as the object-oriented design assistant tool.

Finally, the limitation and development of the workflow management system is proposed. The workflow management system can accelerate the implementation of the system, reduce and carry on the work load that develops of codes to different business process greatly, benefit to expansion and maintenance of the system, improve stability of the system.
