To generate/execute the variable number of jobs by using job data on a relational database or a distributed object which a user mounts for the definition of a flow and the execution of the job.
When the estimation job of a system, which is fitted to the request of a customer, is started, data on the list of an estimate to an estimate table 108 in a job database 107 is written by a work 102 in a job 101. In a parallel flow definition 103, the list of companies taking charge of work is generated from the estimate table 108 and a work company table in the job database 107 by a slave flow definition generation rule 105. A plurality of slave flow definitions 106, 114 and 115 are generated in accordance with the obtained list and the estimated jobs are executed in parallel in companies 110, 111 and 112 being working companies. Thus, the estimated jobs peculiar to the respective companies, which are the similar processings of estimated jobs, can be executed.
