Enterprise Resource Planning

Enterprise Resource Planning

In today’s dynamic and turbulent business environment, there is a strong need for the organizations to become globally competitive. The survival guide to competitiveness is to be closer to the customer and deliver value added product and services in the shortest possible time. This, in turn, demands integration of business processes of an enterprise. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is such a strategic tool, which helps the company to gain competitive edge by integrating all business processes and optimizing the resources available. This paper throws light on how ERP evolved, what makes up an ERP system and what it has to offer to the industries. The paper includes the role of various enabling technologies, which led to the development of such a huge system. Everyone knows at least the name, but doesn’t know where is it applied and why it’s related with the Computer Science and Engineering field. The report clears all the doubts about ERP, as well as gives the evolution of ERP and extra information about recent and future techniques that are being implemented in the industries. Also it may be helpful to the industrialist who is going to implement ERP in his industry by giving a brief idea about the hidden costs and downfalls of ERP. Related to our field, the report explains how this whole system is implemented by a software industry.

NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATION METHODS WITH SPLINES (NWCMS-2009) March 20-21, 2009

NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATION METHODS WITH SPLINES (NWCMS-2009)
March 20-21, 2009

About the Programme

Most of the real world problems are either governed by non-linear differential equations or having complex geometry with linear differential equations. It is well known that majority of the differential equations do not have analytical solutions. So it is unavoidable to get the numerical solutions of differential equations. These numerical methods involve finite difference methods, finite element methods, finite volume methods etc. The fundamental requirements common to these methods are consistency, stability and convergence. These methods with splines or B-splines are the powerful tools to get the numerical solution of differential equations. With the development of high-speed digital computers, the methods with splines have attracted to scientists and mathematicians.

The aim of the present program is to introduce the basics of splines and its applications to get the numerical solution of differential equations efficiently. The program provides an opportunity to young researchers to have an overview of the current trends in this field. The program is useful to mathematicians, scientists and engineers aspiring to pursue research in this wide spreading area.

Eligibility Criteria

The program is aimed at mathematics, science and engineering faculty in technical and research institutions, who wish to gain a basic understanding of the concepts involved.

Registration

A fee of Rs. 500/- (Rupees five hundred only) per participant from academic institution or Rs.1000/- (Rupees one thousand only) per participant from industury is to be paid in the form a crossed Demand Draft in favour of “Director – TEQIP” payable at Warangal.

This registration fee includes accommodation, food and local hospitality. All the participants will be accommodated in the Institute guest house. No TA and DA will be paid.

Structural Stability of Super Cuplok Steel Scaffolding and Formwork Systems

Structural Stability of Super Cuplok Steel Scaffolding and Formwork Systems

Abstract

Steel Super Cuplok scaffolding / formwork system is developed by Boral Company in Australia. It is based on English cuplok steel scaffolding system and made from high strength cold-formed steel circular hollow sections rather than mild steel material as previous Cuplok system. The transom (or beam) of this system are named “ledgers” and columns are normally called “Standards” or “uprights”. To allow the system to be quickly erected on construction site, two special connection joints of “cuplok” and “spigot” is induced as beam to column and column to column connections. The cuplok joints are located between ledgers and standards. The spigot joints are inserted within the standards. However, the both joints may have a lack to fit, which is caused the stiffness and looseness of the joints vary with site conditions, which have significant effects to respect structural analysis of the scaffolding systems.

This seminar is concerned about in-plane behaviours of the scaffolding system with only super cuplok joints to be presented. The structural modelling and analysis of the system will be performed. The influences of connection joints, such as Ledger to standard (cuplok), adjustable jack to standard, and jack to support (base-plate) are indicated. Two methods of structural analysis are performed. One is according to Section 4 of AS 4100 and computer program PRFSA is used for elastic buckling analysis. The other is call advanced structural analysis, which is according to Appendices D of AS4100, and computer program NIFA is applied herein. After structural analysis is done, the load capacities can be carried out to compare with experimental results, which are obtained from prototype test to be performed in structural workship of The University of Sydney previously.

Conclusions are given regarding the modelling of the super cuplok scaffolding system and the effects of structural joints on the stability and strength of scaffolding systems. Also some important clues are provided as a guideline for further studies.
