The Research And Design Of Cooperative Office Automation System Based On Workflow Mechanism

With the rapid development of economic, the competition among enterprisesbecomes more and more intense, so the problem how to improve the efficiency ofenterprise, how to given the scientific data to support the senior management to makemajor decisions becomes so important that every enterprises must face. Thetraditional work with paper not only makes inefficient, but also brings many otherproblems such as the information stored difficulty, knowledge summarized not easy,data checked difficulty and so on. But the emergence of office automation software isa good solution to these problems. With the emergence of workflow which is the coretechnology of office automation system, the efficiency of enterprises is greatlyimproved and brings revolutionary change to enterprises. The core of a newgeneration of office management system is knowledge management, it not only solvesthe above problems but also integrates the enterprise information, and provides a gooddata to support decision-makers.Now the most of OA systems are developing for a detail requirement of theenterprise or the industry. The industry focus of these systems is too high and notflexible enough. It is also too expensive for these small or medium enterprises and notconducive to business expand and business changes. This paper according to thisfeature designs an OA system which based on workflow technology, it is moreconcise, flexibility and suitable for the small or medium-sized enterprises which juststarts and the main direction may changes.This paper designs an office automation system which is suitable for small ormedium-sized enterprises according to the characteristics of the office automationsystem based on workflow technology, and does a detailed system analysis, includingneeds analysis and feasibility analysis. After that designs the system based on theresults of the system analysis. First, starts from the functional design of the system, renders the system functional block diagram and divides the system into sevenmodules: Human Resources, announcement management, personal informationmanagement, workflow management, knowledge management, logistics management,system management, part of the function of each module has a certain authoritycontrol, and the system uses workflow technology, and with the main module of theworkflow technology-Workflow Management module, the enterprise can establishesworkflow template according to their own needs to meet their own business. Thendoes a detailed design for the security of the system, and does logic code design forworkflow, at last, this paper makes a detailed database description and introduction ofthe important modules of this system.This office automation system that we designed bases on workflow technology,using object-oriented programming ideas, B/S structure and SSH framework,combines with the SQL Server2000database, though setting user permissions toimprove the safety and practicality of the system. This article describes the integrationand the operating principle of the SSH framework, and describes the design of a partof tables of the main module. At last, sums up the main work of this paper, andpointes out the deficiencies of this system and the next work that we need to do torounds out this system.
