Great competition drives the widespread application of lean value in many industries. Value identification and product delivery is challenging due to the various concerns of shareholders, the large number of disparate tasks, and the complex resource allocation process.

Abstract:
Denna studie handlar om en implementering av standardisering och automatisering i mindre organisationer. Jag skapade ett skript i Python som upptäcker uppladdade kalkylblad i en mapp som i sin tur var kopplad till en molnbaserad lösning. När skriptet upptäcker kalkylbladen samlar den nödvändig information och importerar en mall av en faktura. Skriptet fyller efterhand mallen med tidigare samlad information och sparar det i en separat mapp. Det originella kalkylbladet arkiveras för framtida referenser. Resultatet av en bättre, standardiserad arbetsrutin och automatiserat fakturasystem resultera

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2011.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 95-99).<br>For many tasks in natural language processing, finding the best solution requires a search over a large set of possible structures. Solving these combinatorial search problems exactly can be inefficient, and so researchers often use approximate techniques at the cost of model accuracy. In this thesis, we turn to Lagrangian relaxation as an alternative to approximate inference in natural l
