# Improvement of Business Productivity by Applying Robotic Process Automation
## 5 Applications of Business Document Automation
### Numerical Results of BDA Using CoPA  
Five project proposals have been revised by five manpower teams and CoPA, and their performance in terms of time consumption and error count are summarized in Tables 6-12. Table 6 compares the average performance obtained by manpower and CoPA through Test cases 1-5. Error reduction column from test cases 1-5 as in Tables 7-12 describes the percentage of the errors reduced for work done from humans to CoPA. \begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c c c} \hline \hline
**Automated Correction Area** & \multicolumn{2}{c}{**Content of Automated Correction**} \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{1 Type verification} & \(\bullet\) & Automatic extraction of typographical error and non-registered words in the standard dictionary shown in MSDN \\  & \(\bullet\) & Maintain consistency of specific predefined words (synonyms) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Batch editing of the same typographical and non-registered words in the document \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{2 Table of Contents verification} & \(\bullet\) & Automatic check of the table of contents described on each page - Automatic extraction of the table of contents - Automatic checking of the numbering sequence and whether the table of contents - name is exactly the same \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{3 Font verification} & \(\bullet\) & Applying specified font standards - Automatically check whether the standard is applied (e.g., font type, color, size and other effects) - Automate modification according to the standard \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{4 Table verification} & \(\bullet\) & Applying specified table standards - Automatically modify table lines (thickness, solid/dotted line, color) - Automate the editing of text and background color in each table cell \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{5 Schematic Diagram} & \(\bullet\) & Applying specified schematic diagram standards - Automatic check whether the line standard is applied - Automate editing of line (thickness, line, color, head) \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}

In overall, CoPA reduces the total working time by more than 57.9% while maintaining 95.2% accuracy.
