Developing purchase invoice processing through workflow automation

The aim of this master’s thesis is to research and analyze how purchase invoice processing can be automated and streamlined in a system renewal project. The impacts of workflow automation on invoice handling are studied by means of time, cost and quality aspects. Purchase invoice processing has a lot of potential for automation because of its labor-intensive and repetitive nature. As a case study combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, the topic is approached from a business process management point of view. The current process was first explored through interviews and workshop meetings to create a holistic understanding of the process at hand. Requirements for process streamlining were then researched focusing on specified vendors and their purchase invoices, which helped to identify the critical factors for successful invoice automation. To optimize the flow from invoice receipt to approval for payment, the invoice receiving process was outsourced and the automation functionalities of the new system utilized in invoice handling. The quality of invoice data and the need of simple structured purchase order (PO) invoices were emphasized in the system testing phase. Hence, consolidated invoices containing references to multiple PO or blanket release numbers should be simplified in order to use automated PO matching. With non-PO invoices, it is important to receive the buyer reference details in an applicable invoice data field so that automation rules could be created to route invoices to a review and approval flow. In the beginning of the project, invoice processing was seen ineffective both time- and cost-wise, and it required a lot of manual labor to carry out all tasks. In accordance with testing results, it was estimated that over half of the invoices could be automated within a year after system implementation. Processing times could be reduced remarkably, which would then result savings up to 40 % in annual processing costs. Due to several advancements in the purchase invoice process, business process quality could also be perceived as improved.

Influence of cueing on the preparation and execution of untrained and trained complex motor responses

This study investigated the influence of cueing on the performance of untrained and trained complex motor responses. Healthy adults responded to a visual target by performing four sequential movements (complex response) or a single movement (simple response) of their middle finger. A visual cue preceded the target by an interval of 300, 1000, or 2000 ms. In Experiment 1, the complex and simple responses were not previously trained. During the testing session, the complex response pattern varied on a trial-by-trial basis following the indication provided by the visual cue. In Experiment 2, the complex response and the simple response were extensively trained beforehand. During the testing session, the trained complex response pattern was performed in all trials. The latency of the untrained and trained complex responses decreased from the short to the medium and long cue-target intervals. The latency of the complex response was longer than that of the simple response, except in the case of the trained responses and the long cue-target interval. These results suggest that the preparation of untrained complex responses cannot be completed in advance, this being possible, however, for trained complex responses when enough time is available. The duration of the 1st submovement, 1st pause and 2nd submovement of the untrained and the trained complex responses increased from the short to the long cue-target interval, suggesting that there is an increase of online programming of the response possibly related to the degree of certainty about the moment of target appearance.

Markkinointikampanjoiden ja -aineistojen työnkulun automatisointi

Markkinointi on liikevoittoa tavoitteleville yrityksille yksi tärkeimmistä asioista. Sen avulla yritykset voivat houkutella asiakkaita ostamaan tuotetta tai/ja palvelua. Jotta yritykset onnistuisivat markkinoinnissa nyt ja jatkossakin, on niiden kehitettävä jatkuvasti markkinointiprosessiaan. Markkinointiprosessit ovat digitalisoituneet tietoyhteiskuntien kehittyessä yhä enenevässä määrin. Markkinointikampanjoihin liittyvien digitaalisten aineistojen määrän kasvaessa niiden hallinta on tullut hankalammaksi. Hallintaongelmien ratkaisuksi on kehitetty tietojärjestelmiä, joiden avulla pystyy hallitsemaan suurempia määriä aineistoja. Tässä diplomityössä tutustutaan markkinointikampanjoiden ja -aineistojen työnkulkuprosessiin. Tapauskohtaisessa työssä tavoitteena oli toteuttaa jo olemassa olevan digitaalisten aineistojenhallintajärjestelmän rinnalle uusi järjestelmä, jonka avulla pyrittiin tehostamaan prosessia. Markkinointikampanjoita varten uuteen järjestelmään tehtiin projektinhallintatoiminnallisuuksia. Markkinointiaineistojen kommentointia ja hyväksyntää varten työssä tutustuttiin kahteen aineistojen kommentointi- ja hyväksyntäjärjestelmään. Ne integroitiin alustavasti osaksi järjestelmää, minkä jälkeen niitä testattiin ja arvioitiin. Paremmin käyttötarkoituksiin sopiva järjestelmä otettiin lopullisesti käyttöön. Tässä diplomityössä raportoiduista tuloksista on hyötyä vastaavien järjestelmien suunnittelussa.

Analysis and guidelines for implementation of EN 1090-2 Standard to assist execution class assignment of steel structures

Finnish design and consulting companies are delivering robust and cost-efficient steel structures solutions to a large number of manufacturing companies worldwide. Recently introduced EN 1090-2 standard obliges these companies to specify the execution class of steel structures for their customers. This however, requires clarifying, understanding and interpreting the sophisticated procedure of execution class assignment. The objective of this research is to provide a clear explanation and guidance through the process of execution class assignment for a given steel structure and to support the implementation of EN 1090-2 standard in Rejlers Oy, one of Finnish design and consulting companies. This objective is accomplished by creating a guideline for designers that elaborates on the four-step process of the execution class assignment for a steel structure or its part. Steps one to three define the consequence class (projected consequences of structure failure), the service category (hazards associated with the service use exploitation of steel structure) and the production category (manufacturing process peculiarities), based on the ductility class (capacity of structure to withstand deformations) and the behaviour factor (corresponds to structure seismic behaviour). The final step is the execution class assignment taking into account results of previous steps. Main research method is indepth literature review of European standards family for steel structures. Other research approach is a series of interviews of Rejlers Oy representatives and its clients, results of which have been used to evaluate the level of EN 1090-2 awareness. Rejlers Oy will use the developed novel coherent standard implementation guideline to improve its services and to obtain greater customer satisfaction.
