An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to switch, in accordance with an instruction of a person in charge, between a first creation mode allowing the person in charge to create a workflow for a newly-ordered make-to-order product using a template of a pre-registered workflow among workflows representing manufacturing processes of make-to-order products with specifications that are different by customer, and a second creation mode allowing the person in charge to create the workflow for the newly-ordered make-to-order product without using the template.

1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a processor configured to: switch, in accordance with an instruction of a person in charge, between a first creation mode allowing the person in charge to create a workflow for a newly-ordered make-to-order product using a template of a pre-registered workflow among workflows representing manufacturing processes of make-to-order products with specifications that are different by customer, and a second creation mode allowing the person in charge to create the workflow for the newly-ordered make-to-order product without using the template.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to allow the person in charge to select whether to register the workflow for the newly-ordered make-to-order product created in the second creation mode as a template.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case where the person in charge has performed a registration task of pre-registering, as a template, a workflow created in advance by predicting a future order status of make-to-order products, the processor is configured to restrict the person in charge from selecting an option to prevent the created workflow from being registered as a template.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein, in a case where the person in charge has performed a registration task of pre-registering, as a template, a workflow created in advance by predicting a future order status of make-to-order products, the processor is configured to restrict the person in charge from selecting an option to prevent the created workflow from being registered as a template.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured not to register the workflow for the newly-ordered make-to-order product created in the second creation mode as a template.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to: search for a make-to-order product with a configuration whose similarity with a configuration of the newly-ordered make-to-order product is greater than or equal to a predetermined value in the second creation mode; and display, on a display device, a workflow for the make-to-order product searched as a reference workflow for reference when creating the workflow for the newly-ordered make-to-order product.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein, in a case where there is a plurality of reference workflows representing a same workflow, the processor is configured to display, on the display device, only a reference workflow with a new creation date and time among the plurality of reference workflows representing the same workflow.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the processor is configured to apply a workflow created by modifying the reference workflow by the person in charge as the workflow for the newly-ordered make-to-order product.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising: switching, in accordance with an instruction of a person in charge, between a first creation mode allowing the person in charge to create a workflow for a newly-ordered make-to-order product using a template of a pre-registered workflow among workflows representing manufacturing processes of make-to-order products with specifications that are different by customer, and a second creation mode allowing the person in charge to create the workflow for the newly-ordered make-to-order product without using the template.

10. An information processing apparatus comprising: means for switching, in accordance with an instruction of a person in charge, between a first creation mode allowing the person in charge to create a workflow for a newly-ordered make-to-order product using a template of a pre-registered workflow among workflows representing manufacturing processes of make-to-order products with specifications that are different by customer, and a second creation mode allowing the person in charge to create the workflow for the newly-ordered make-to-order product without using the template.
