PROVIDED IS TECHNOLOGY TO FACILITATE UNDERSTANDING INFORMATION RELATED TO EACH STEP IN A SYSTEM FOR MANAGING THE STEPS. AT EACH OF A PLURALITY OF WORKPLACES (100), AN IMAGE TRANSMISSION DEVICE (1) AND A TERMINAL (2) ARE PLACED. IN AN IMAGE DATABASE (DB1), IMAGE DATA TRANSMITTED BY THE IMAGE TRANSMISSION DEVICE (1) ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IMAGE CAPTURE TIME INFORMATION AND IMAGE CAPTURE IDS AND STORED. A CONTROL UNIT (21) OF A TERMINAL (6) DISPLAYS A PROGRESS DISPLAY FIELD FOR EACH STEP FOR A PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH A PRE-DEFINED LAYOUT UPON A DISPLAY UNIT (25) SO AS TO CONTROL THE DISPLAY OF EACH PROGRESS DISPLAY FIELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH STORED CONTENTS OF A PROGRESS DATABASE (D86). IN ADDITION, THE CONTROL UNIT (21) OF THE TERMINAL (5) IDENTIFIES THE PROGRESS DISPLAY FIELD DISPLAYED UPON THE DISPLAY UNIT (25) IN ACCORDANCE WITH INFORMATION OUTPUT FROM AN INPUT UNIT (24) AND IDENTIFIES AN IMAGE CORRESPONDING TO THE IDENTIFIED PROGRESS DISPLAY FIELD BY REFERENCE TO THE STORED CONTENTS OF THE PROGRESS DATABASE (
