Journal workflow based on status and task assignment to various roles.

Is there a ways to incorporate a workflow for ejournal? I would like to have a workflow where once an author submits a paper the chief editor is notified who makes a decision on which reviewers and editors to assign the papers to. Once the reviewers post the feedback (currently not available), the editors will be notified. Then the editors will post their comment. The chief editor will be notified of the editors who will make the final decision on publishing the article.
