Program for monitoring the execution of orders. Creation of an effective system for monitoring the execution of instructions

Application Control execution of orders is a great tool that will help you control the execution of orders in the organization. Despite its simplicity, the program is very effective. The Order Execution Control utility was written in Microsoft Excel, so the main working environment of this program is tables. The structure of the order tables is configured by the user as it is convenient for him.

The program is multi-user, with the ability to determine access rights. For example, for an ordinary employee, only the function of creating a report for managers will be available. Access rights are configured by the administrator. For any field of the table, you can connect directories that provide additional information. Task statuses (completed, in progress, not completed) are calculated automatically. The program generates reports on its own, you can create templates. It is possible to export reports in electronic form. For more rapid development users in this program, a learning system has been added. Although using this utility will not be difficult, especially for someone who has worked in Excel.

One of the most important advantages of automation is the saving and control of working time. To fully perform these two functions, you need a notification program that will not allow you to miss something important or forget to complete an urgent order. It can also remind the client that it is time to make a payment or send closing accounting documents.

The due date control program will become your unified work organizer, automatically arranging tasks according to their importance and urgency. For this, some put a regular reminder program on a computer. Professional Program to control the timing in the performance of its task is more perfect. It not only automatically builds the structure of your employment, but also has a system of alerts and reminders.

The company "Universal Accounting System" has developed software that easily copes with all possible functions of planning and controlling workflows. The reminder program can be tested by you in test mode for free. The just-in-time accounting system will let you know about the need to complete a particular task.

Additional motivation and control gives employees a program for tracking deadlines. In addition, such a system means providing correct information to customers about the dates of their orders. The program for reminding cases increases the productivity of the use of working time, disciplining the team. In some industries, such a system is vital, for example, control of construction time is often able to determine the fate of the facility under construction. Because even the slightest delay will cost the developer a lot of money. For some companies important task is the accounting of expiration dates, which is also subject to automation.

Also among the relevant functions are: a program for notifying about events - provides customers with information about promotions, discounts, special offers, changes in the price list, etc.; a program for monitoring the timing of the execution of documents - monitors the workflow; a program for notifying employees - informs about meetings, changes in work schedule, new tasks; a program for accounting for the expiration date - controls the compliance of products with the requirements for operation.

Standard DBMS Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server
No "black boxes". We have a standard data storage format - MS Access or client-server MS SQL Server. Both of these DBMS are highly reliable, are recognized standards and leaders in their class. This gives advantages over closed formats: the ability to administer, refine, optimize, integrate with other systems... In the program, you can add custom buttons that, when selected, will perform the necessary actions (for example, some work directly with the database, launching third-party applications, etc.).

To begin with, let us recall the rules for monitoring the execution of instructions, which we will later begin to automate using the standard features of MS Excel.

Allocate control on the merits of the solution of issues and control over the timing of the execution of tasks.

substantive control

Substantive control is an assessment of how correctly, successfully, and completely the issue is resolved. Such control is carried out by the head (of an institution or department) or a specially authorized person. Responsibility for the correct and timely resolution of issues reflected in the documents lies with the heads of structural units and employees who are entrusted with the execution of the document. The performer is usually:

  • indicated in the resolution of the head on the document (for example, on the incoming letter, on the employee's statement) or
  • it is written directly in the text of the instruction (usually in the order / protocol, individual instructions are drawn up in the form of independent paragraphs of the text and formulated so that it is immediately clear what, to whom and when needs to be done; accordingly, each item is put under control separately - the task / instruction) ,
  • when the performer is not directly indicated, it is determined in accordance with the distribution of responsibilities in the organization.

If several executors are indicated in the resolution/instruction of the head, the person named first in the resolution is responsible for the execution of the document/instruction and, accordingly, organizes its execution.

Instructions may follow from the text of the document, or they may be “independent”, i.e. undocumented and yet subject to control over their execution. If the instruction is created on the basis of a document, it contains a link to the document-base (see filling in the first four columns in the table in Figure 1). Orders are issued by leaders of all levels. However, which documents/orders to put under control, each organization decides for itself. Usually these are all orders of the head of the organization and his deputies. The greater the number of documents in the organization, the more important it is to streamline the work of monitoring the execution of documents, and the more selectively the organization approaches the solution of the question “what will we control” - the golden mean is important here. So, the execution of instructions of the first person is usually put under control, the service of the preschool educational institution or the secretary is engaged in this.

Orders must be clearly and unambiguously formulated:

  • the order itself;
  • period of execution;
  • executor (it is possible to execute the order by several persons, then one is appointed as the responsible executor, and the rest are considered co-executors).

When forming orders, it is desirable to adhere to simple rules: the wording should be concise, concise, non-ambiguous, have a clearly defined and measurable result.

While the order is being executed, the following actions are possible:

  • the author can change the deadline for the execution of the assignment;
  • the author can change the responsible executor of the assignment;
  • performers create reports on the results of execution;
  • the author has the opportunity to return the order for revision or approve the result of execution.

If the task was divided between co-executors, then their performance reports are received by the responsible executor. It is he who forms the final single report on behalf and sends it to the author.

Control over deadlines

Control over the deadlines for the execution of documents / instructions is carried out by the service documentation support management (DOE), and in a small organization - the secretary.

The technology for monitoring the timing of execution can be divided into the following procedures:

  • fixation of all documents, instructions, instructions, assignments of the management put under control;
  • checking the timely delivery of the document to the contractor;
  • correction of data on controlled documents when the deadlines for execution change, the document is transferred from contractor to contractor, from division to division (we record this in the “Execution Status” field, see Figure 1);
  • reminder to executors and heads of departments about the presence of unfulfilled documents and instructions;
  • informing managers (divisions and organizations) about the status and progress of the execution of documents;
  • entering data on the execution of documents;
  • analysis of the state of affairs and the level of executive discipline in the organization as a whole, by structural divisions, specialists, types of documents and other aspects.

Deadlines documents can be defined:

As you can see, the deadline for the execution of the order is usually set by its author. At the same time, it is accepted that instructions containing an indication "urgently" are due within 3 days. The indication "promptly" provides for a 1-day period for the execution of the order. If a deadline is not specified in the order, it is subject to execution within a period of up to 1 month from the date of its signing (until the corresponding date of the next month, and if in next month there is no such number, then last day months). If the last day of the term for execution of an instruction falls on a non-working day, it shall be subject to execution on the preceding business day.

For documents containing difficult task, long terms of execution (several months, half a year, a year) can be established. In such a case, it is necessary Divide the task into stages and control the execution of the task in stages.

Time control can include:

  • current control,
  • precautionary and
  • final control.

The main types of control are current and preventive.

Under current control understand the daily preparation of information about documents that expire today. Current control is carried out by daily checking the progress of the document and reminding the performer about the expiration of the deadline and the need to complete the work on the document. Responsible for monitoring execution (in a small company - the secretary) daily, as a rule, at the beginning of the working day, identify and compile a list of documents, the deadline for which expires today.

Current control helps to plan the work for the day. It immediately shows what matters must be completed today (resolving an issue at a meeting, signing a document, sending a fax, etc.). Therefore, control over the timing of the execution of documents is a function that is necessarily provided for in job description head secretary. Every day, identifying documents that are due to expire, the secretary finds out the possibility of timely resolution of the issue, and in case of failure to meet deadlines, reports to the manager about this.

During preventive control summaries are compiled and executors are warned on documents that expire in 2-3 days (we in our organization do this in 4 calendar days). And then the employee still has time to timely resolve the issue.

The position of control is very important. Only the focus of control on helping employees, and not on identifying shortcomings, the desire to help, remind, and not convict, can ensure the greatest efficiency of the control service.

A systematic check of execution, skillfully and correctly carried out by an employee who tactfully reminds that the document is needed on time, that the prosperity of the company depends on the timely resolution of the issue, etc., emphasizes the need this employee and his efforts. In addition, the “term card file” helps in planning the manager’s working day, as it reflects the activities and tasks for a given number.

If upon receipt of the document or in the course of its execution by the contractor it becomes clear that it is impossible to execute it in a timely manner, this is reported to the manager (the author of such an order), who has the right to postpone the execution of the document. If the leader extends the deadline, the secretary, in accordance with his instructions, enters into the registration form new term execution.

The question of postponing the deadlines for the execution of the document must be raised no later than 1 day before the expiration of the key date. Postponement of the due date is not allowed and, as a rule, is impossible in principle in automated systems.

For documents with a long (several months) execution period, intermediate stages of execution can be controlled with the entry of information about the progress of execution (we do this in the "Execution Status" field of the document's registration card).

Often the solution to the problem requires consistent work over the document of several executors or coordination of the document with several divisions. In these cases, the duration of the document at each performer should be controlled. When transferring a document, the fact of transfer must be recorded. Usually registration is carried out by the secretary of the unit transferring the document. We reflect the movement of the document and the date of its transfer in the "State of execution" field.

When there are expired documents their list is printed out on the same day and reported to the head.

If the right to register documents can be granted to a wide range of employees, then changes reflecting the progress of its execution, as a rule, are carried out by only one responsible employee: the assistant secretary or a specialist of the preschool educational institution.

Removing a document from control is carried out only after the complete execution of the document: the implementation of the resolution of the head, the preparation of a response document, the receipt of a response to the outgoing document or other documented confirmation of the fact of execution. The result of the execution of the document must be recorded in the registration card (for example, “an invitation was sent”, “a letter was sent from ... No ...”, etc.). The registration card also contains information about the date of execution of the document and indicates the number of the case according to the nomenclature in which the executed document is filed.

To final control refer analytical work to generalize the performance discipline and the results of the work of employees of the unit or organization as a whole. The final control is carried out by employees (service) responsible for monitoring the execution, or by the secretary of the organization with a given frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly). The results of subsequent control are reflected in the final quantitative and list summaries of the state of execution of tasks (controlled documents). This allows management to know what this or that employee (department) is doing and how things are going in a particular area of ​​activity (solving a particular issue).

The final control in a mandatory combination with preventive control is a stimulating factor in improving the discipline of employees.

An example of order control using MS Excel

Now let's show what can be automated using the standard features of MS Excel. To get started, open a new MS Excel workbook and create a table in it with the fields/columns/graphs shown in Figure 1. This is the main table that displays information on the time control of the execution of orders in our organization.

Next, in a separate cell, lay down the formula so that when you open this MS Excel sheet above the table, always current date is displayed(indicated by number 1 in Figure 1). Then it will be useful to us in daily work with a table. You can do this in two ways:

Figure 2

Collapse Show

In this table, you can filter rows (i.e. controlled orders) according to various criteria. But for this you need to enable the filter:

Figure 3

On-screen filter enable button in MS Excel 2007 and 2010

Figure 4

Criteria for filtering table rows by column content in MS Excel 2007 and 2010

Collapse Show

The filtering criteria shown above appeared as a result of clicking on the gray square button for calling the filter in the "Performers" column (marked with the number 1). The cells of this column are filled with text, so the program offered us the following selection options:

2 - firstly, we can filter out one or more performers, leaving only "ticks" on them; we can also select only empty lines, leaving a “tick” only in the last item of the list; if we leave the “tick” in the “Select all” position, then there will be no filtering by this criterion (this is now shown in the Figure);

3 - secondly, you can filter by the text contained in the cells of the column, however, this criterion is more suitable when working with the column " Summary» document, etc. For example, if we don’t remember the title exactly, but we remember the keyword that should be in it, then we need to select the item “contains ...” and type this word without ending it, then as a result of the filter, only lines that have in the "Summary" field there is a word we typed with different endings.

You can remove the filter by selecting the command of the same name - indicated by the number 6. If you filtered rows by setting different selection criteria in several columns, then selecting this command once will remove the filter only in the column where you selected such a command, while the rest of the filters in other columns will remain valid - each of them must be removed individually. In those columns in which the filter is enabled, the filter call button changes its image to the enabled filter button .

If the column by the contents of which we want to filter the rows of the table is filled with dates, then instead of a text filter, the program will offer us another one - special for dates - indicated by the number 4: we can select not only a specific date, but also later or earlier than some date, or a limited period of time, yesterday, today or tomorrow, etc.

Our table has 3 columns with dates.


The numeric filter (indicated by the number 5) is specially sharpened to work with columns whose contents are numbers (in our case, this is the registration number of the document).


Figure 5

Criteria for filtering table rows by column content in MS Excel 2003

Collapse Show

In MS Excel 2003, the filter by column content is called by the same screen button as in later versions of the program, but as a result of pressing it, one general list opens to select a specific cell value or set more difficult condition filtering, which is already customized for text, dates or numbers - it starts in a separate screen window after selecting the item "(Condition...)" in the list.


Figures 4 and 5 clearly show By what criteria can we now filter table rows in MS Excel different versions. We will be able to filter instructions by executors, their authors, terms, controlled document data and any other information entered into the spreadsheet. Moreover, it will be possible to filter simultaneously by several criteria, for example:

  • for which instructions the deadline for execution expires today for a particular contractor:
      in the "Performers" column, select the required employee (see number 2 in Figure 4), and in the "Due date" column, filter the rows whose date satisfies the "today" criterion (number 4 in the same Figure) or
  • to whom the leader we have chosen gave instructions this month:
      in the column "Author of the order" we select the manager we are analyzing (number 2 in Figure 4), and in the column "Due date" we filter the dates that fall under the criterion "This month" (number 4), etc.

And now we will teach you how you can configure the program so that when you open a file automatically receive information about which orders must be executed, for example, after 4 days to notify performers in advance. To do this, we provided for the presence in the table of a special column, which we called "Dispatch period". Now let's set it up:

  • select cell I6 (in the first row of the custom column) and type the “=” sign in it;
  • click the "mouse" on the adjacent cell J6 (in the same row, but in the "Due date" column) and you will see that it is included in the formula for calculating the contents of cell I6;
  • then continue to bookmark the formula by typing "-4" from the keyboard;
  • this completes the filling of the formula (her Current state can always be seen in the formula bar located above the Excel sheet, see below. symbol 1 in Figure 7, we get "=j6-4"). Now press on the keyboard Enter- and the result of the calculation of the embedded formula will appear in the table cell;
  • after that, the formula can be copied into the subsequent rows of the table, and then in the column “Dispatch period” the date will always be 4 days earlier than in the column “Due date”: point with the mouse to the lower right corner of cell I6 (with the pointer "mouse" should take the form of a black bold cross), press the left button of the "mouse" and, without releasing it, drag it down to the end of the column, then release the button. In column I you will see the dates of all required warnings (number 2 in Figure 7);
  • then you can make it so that in the column "Terms of mailing" the cells with the current ones are automatically highlighted in color, i.e. today's dates (October 1 these will be one cell, and October 2 - already others, etc.). To do this, you need to use the conditional formatting function. In MS Excel 2007 or 2010, this is done like this:
    • select all the cells of the table of the column "Dispatch period", located below the "header";
    • click the button Conditional Formatting in a group Styles tab home(See Figure 6), select command Cell selection rules, and in the panel that opens on the left or right, select the command the date. A dialog box of the same name will open, in which there are two lists (Figure 8): in the left one, you need to select the position Today, and on the right - a way to format cells that satisfy this condition, for example, Light red fill and dark red text. Next click Ok.

Figure 8 shows what the finished table looks like with conditional formatting. By opening this table, for example, on 08/13/2012, the specialist can easily determine which notifications are sent out.

You can provide for the presence in the table of the last "technical" column, in each row you need to put the number 1 in it. Then, when filtering by any one or more criteria, you will always quickly count the number of filtered rows. To do this, select the remaining cells on the screen with the mouse in this column - MS Excel will calculate the sum of their values ​​​​and write it in the bottom reference line under the Excel sheet.
