Abstract: A system for identifying a discrepancy between a quantity of equipment ordered for a project and a quantity of equipment used for the project is provided. The system includes a procurement module, an engineering planning module, and a comparison module, each stored on one or more computer readable media and executed on one or more processors. The procurement module promotes identifying equipment estimated to be needed for the project and creation of a first list of the identified equipment. The engineering planning module promotes creation of a detailed project design for the project and creation of a second list of equipment deployed for the project. The comparison module provides an integration of the procurement module with the engineering planning module and compares the first list with the second list, and creates a report that promotes identifying discrepancies between the first list and the second list.

Abstract: A system for detecting suspect meter reads in a print environment may include a computing device and a computer-readable storage medium in communication with the computing device. The computer-readable storage medium may include one or more programming instructions for receiving historical meter read values associated with a print-related service, selecting a model set including one or more of the historical meter read values, using a predictive model to determine an anticipated meter read value and a corresponding forecast error value from the model set, determining an updated forecast error value, determining a threshold value, identifying an actual meter read value, determining an average rate associated with the actual meter read value, and flagging the actual meter read value as suspect based on a comparison of the average rate and the threshold value.

Abstract: A high performance capability assessment model helps a consumer goods and services business meet the challenges of the global marketplace. As a result, the consumer goods and services business can achieve the clarity, consistency, and well-defined execution of core processes that reduce inefficiencies and waste that result from unnecessary process complexity and exceptions. In addition, the high performance capability assessment model helps the consumer goods and services business to identify specific areas in which improvements may be made and understand how to make the improvements, and establishes levels of capability along the way to reaching an ultimate capability goal.

Abstract: A schedule management server is provided to precisely fill vacancies. A computer includes a communication network and a terminal device. The computer generates assumed schedule data indicative of schedules assumed for a plurality of staffs and starts receiving desired schedule data indicative of schedules desired by the plurality of staffs from the terminal device connected to the communication network. The computer receives and stores the desired schedules from the terminal device and generates vacancy schedule data indicative of vacancies of the plurality of staffs based on the assumed schedule data and the desired schedule data.
