We report the observation of the first six months of operation after the installation of an ERP software in a group of small Italian enterprises (some dealers of various products and one manufacturer). Before the ERP, no explicit process descriptions existed within the companies: the operations were manually performed, using office automation software or legacy programs that were not process or...

A new approach to parameter identification problems from the point of view of symmetry analysis theory is given. A mathematical model that arises in the design of car windshield represented by a linear second order mixed type PDE is considered. Following a particular case of the direct method (due to Clarkson and Kruskal), we introduce a method to study the group invariance between the paramete...

The patient, a 13-year, 14•mouth-ofd, de. pressed, white girl attempted suicide on the afternoon of June 11. 1969, by inges ting between 90 and 240 ml of a commercial windshield washer antifreeze (Wizard). This solution cm. tamed 80% methanol. 39.24% potassium pbospbate, 0.25% wetting agen t, and 0.25% green and yellow dye, but no heavy metals. Immediately following ingestion the patient vomite...

A kind of novel pillar (used to support a windshield) has been designed to replace the conventional ones used in all sorts of vehicles. The prominent advantage of such a pillar is that it appears invisible so that the blind spots caused by A, B, C and D pillars will be diminished to a large extent or even eliminated completely. Therefore, the driver’s view is enlarged considerably. An intrinsic...

– World wide drilling is developing for oil, gas or water resources. Electric motors power 75% of the total drilling rigs installation, augmenting to 95% for the case of Romania. Monitoring diesel generators micro-power station and motors of the rig is the second important thing to do and complete the main task of drilling process monitoring. This paper describe a monitoring and control system ...

Many construction processes include installation of unique materials in specific locations in the facility being built: materials and locations must match before installation can take place. Mismatches due to delay and uncertainty in supplying materials or completing prerequisite work at those locations hamper field productivity. This is illustrated here using a model of a materials-management ...

We are analysing the implications of music composition through programming, in particular the possibilities and limitations of tracing the composition process through computer artefacts. The analysis is attached to the case study of a sound installation. This work was realised using a new programming system which is briefly introduced. Through these observations we are probing and adjusting a m...

In an Enterprise environment, installation and upgrade of software is a time consuming and nonautomated process. Traditionally end-users download the latest version of the software and manually update their own computers. There are few commercial software management products available in the market, which automate this process. This paper presents a method to achieve the same using Mobile Agent...
