CAPP system demanded by enterprises should be an integrated system of process planning and management, which includes task management, process planning, process information management, examining and approving management, version management and document management. Emphasizing on workflow and information management in process planning, this thesis has researched on a management-oriented CAPP system, combined with product development and engineering project of CAPP.Workflow management is a kind of computer technology and a good way to procedure integration, with which the whole or part of producing processes can be implemented automatically or semi-automatically. Process planning is a typical workflow. This thesis presents the workflow management mainly from four aspects: users and privileges management, procedures modeling, process task management and workflow execution and supervision.Process information is a complicated and synthetic information system integrating structure and diagram data, the effective management of which benefits both to improvement of process planning and to integration of internal and external information. This paper promotes the process information management of CAPP system with work-route planning, material ration, work-time ration and process document management.Using workflow and information management technologies, following the key clue of workflow management, the management-oriented CAPP system with the integration of both procedures and information has been developed and well implemented.
