Abstract
Some embodiments of a task responsibility system may be implemented as an application to support people, machines, or both functioning in a manufacturing or production environment, warehouse environment, or other work environment. The focus is on a plant-local solution. In such circumstances, the task responsibility system may identify and direct one or more tasks to a computer-implemented folder independent of the worker(s), machine(s), or a combination thereof assigned to the folder. Thus, the system (or a user of the system) is permitted to dynamically assign a worker or machine to the computer-implemented folder subsequent to the tasks being directed thereto, in which case the worker or machine may be responsible for the tasks that are directed to the folder.
