Abstract :
The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) constitutes a production environment, assimilating military oceanographic measurements and producing products for operational customers. Workflow Management (WfM) refers to software methodology that provides a framework for tracking the production of work products. NAVOCEANO has implemented Workflow Management in two separate areas to date; both implementations have been referred to as the Production Management Tool (PMT). The PMT can be described as an implementation of WfM that is customized to specific production areas at NAVOCEANO. PMT consists of a Commercial off-the-Shelf software package augmented with NAVOCEANO production rules, a custom user interface, and custom-built modules for receiving Requests for Product (RFPs) and maintaining a historical source package of references and imagery used for each request
