Medida e modelagem da evapo(transpi)ração de um canavial irrigado em função do manejo da palhada / Evapo(transpi)ration measument and modeling of irrigated sugarcane depending on trash management

Kassio dos Santos Carvalho 13 January 2017 (has links)
A cultura da cana é importante para o agronegócio brasileiro. O manejo adequado da palhada da cana-de-açúcar no solo pode influenciar no desenvolvimento e no crescimento da cultura, podendo resultar em ganhos ambientais e econômicos. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do manejo com palha (CP) e sem palha (SP) na evapotranspiração de um canavial irrigado. Um experimento foi conduzido em canavial irrigado com dois tratamentos (mantendo-se 100% da palhada e sem cobertura de palha sobre o solo). Neste experimento, a evapotranspiração foi medida a partir do balanço hídrico \"in situ\" do solo (ETc-BHS) e pelo método da razão de Bowen (ETc-MRB) e a transpiração utilizando-se sensores de fluxo de seiva (FS). A evaporação do solo foi estimada com base em dados da cultura e meteorológicos. A modelagem da transpiração e de seus componentes baseou-se na abordagem no \"modelo da grande folha\" (\"big leaf model\") proposto por Monteith. Para tanto, foram definidos e avaliados submodelos para a simulação do saldo de radiação no dossel, da resistência aerodinâmica, da resistência de cobertura no ambiente da cultura. Ao longo do ciclo da cultura, análises biométricas foram realizadas a cada 30 dias e esses dados utilizados na parametrização do modelo. O desempenho dos submodelos e do modelo parametrizado de Penman-Monteith (PM) foi estatisticamente avaliados. Avalia-se um modelo para estimativa da evaporação em função da cobertura da palhada. O cultivo de cana-de-açúcar utilizando os resíduos vegetais favorece o incremento da transpiração, da evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc) e reduz a evaporação de água no solo. A palha influenciou as variáveis biométricas da cultura, como perfilhamento, massa fresca da parte aérea (MFPA) e massa seca da parte aérea (MSPA). Ao relacionar a transpiração estimada com o modelo de PM com a medida com FS, verifica-se um coeficiente de determinação (R2) de 0,72 e de 0,48 e um coeficiente angular (a) de 1,22 e 0,92, para a área manejada CP e SP, respectivamente. A evaporação de água no solo é maior na área SP, principalmente nos períodos com precipitações acima de 40 mm. Quando se relaciona a ETc-BHS e a ETc-MRB com a ETc estimada com base no método de PM, nota-se um R2 de 0,67 e 0,54 na área CP e 0,59 e 0,54 para a área SP, respectivamente. Independente do manejo adotado, aos 302 dias após o corte, o canavial apresentou ATR, POL e % de fibra ideal para a comercialização. O teor de clorofila na área manejada CP é superior ao manejado SP. O cultivo de cana-de-açúcar utilizando os resíduos vegetais favorece o incremento da transpiração, da ETc e reduz a evaporação de água no solo. / Cane culture is important for Brazilian agribusiness. Proper management of sugarcane trash in the soil can influence the development and growth of the crop, which can result in environmental and economic gains. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of trash management (CP) and without trash (SP) on the evapotranspiration of an irrigated sugar cane. An experiment was conducted in irrigated sugar cane fields with two treatments (100% of the trash and without trash cover on the soil). In this experiment, evapotranspiration was measured from soil water balance (ETc-BHS) and the Bowen ratio method (ETc-MRB) and transpiration using sap flow sensors (FS). Soil evaporation was estimated based on crop and meteorological data. The modeling of the transpiration and its components was based on the approach in the \"big leaf model\" proposed by Monteith. For that, submodels were defined and evaluated for the simulation of canopy radiation balance, aerodynamic resistance, and cover resistance in the culture environment. Throughout the crop cycle, biometric analyzes were performed every 30 days and these data were used in the parameterization of the model. The performance of the submodels and the parameterized model of Penman-Monteith (PM) was statistically evaluated. A model for estimation of evaporation is evaluated as a function of the trash cover. The cultivation of sugarcane using the vegetal residues favors the increase of transpiration, evapotranspiration of the crop (ETc) and reduces the evaporation of water in the soil. The trash influenced the biometric variables of the crop, such as tillering, fresh mass of aerial part (MFPA) and dry mass of aerial part (MSPA). When correlating the estimated transpiration with the PM model with the FS measurement, it is verified a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.72 and 0.48 and an angular coefficient (a) of 1.22 and 0.92, for the managed area CP and SP, respectively. The water evaporation in the soil is higher in the SP area, especially in periods with rainfall above 40 mm. When ETc-BHS and ETc-MRB are related to ETc estimated on the basis of the PM method, an R2 of 0.67 and 0.54 is observed in the CP area and 0.59 and 0.54 for the area SP, respectively. Regardless of the management adopted, at 302 days after cutting, the sugarcane plantation presented ATR, POL and% of fiber ideal for commercialization. The chlorophyll content in the managed area CP is superior to the managed SP. The cultivation of sugarcane using the vegetal residues favors the increase of the transpiration, ETc and reduces the evaporation of water in the soil.

Avaliação da expressão gênica da proteína aspartil secretada 2, 5 e 9 (SAP-2, SAP-5 e SAP-9) e sua correlação com a invasão epitelial por Candida albicans em modelo experimetal de estomatite protéica in vivo / Evaluation of gene expression of secreted aspartyl proteinase -2, -5 and -9 (SAP-2, SAP-5 and SAP-9) and its correlation with epithelial invasion by Candida albicans in a in vivo denture stomatitis experimental model

Priscila Lie Tobouti 13 May 2011 (has links)
A Estomatite protética associada a Candida (EPC) acomete a mucosa bucal em contato com próteses removíveis e, clinicamente, caracteriza-se por eritema com diferentes graus de inflamação. Esta doença é considerada de etiologia multifatorial, isto é, uma associação de fatores como trauma, falta de higienização, uso contínuo da prótese, hipersensibilidade ao material usado na dentadura, diabetes, terapia imunossupressora e infecção por fungo, como diferentes espécies de Candida. Os principais fatores de virulência deste fungo são a formação de hifas, dimorfismo, alterações fenotípicas, aderência, persistência, sinergismo com as bactérias, interferências com o sistema de defesa do hospedeiro e a produção de enzimas hidrolíticas. Dentre as enzimas hidrolíticas, a proteinase aspartil secretada (SAP) é uma das mais importantes para a patogenia de C. albicans, sendo nociva para o tecido epitelial e para o sistema imune do hospedeiro. Não está totalmente compreendida a real penetração do fungo nos tecidos e sua correlação com a presença da SAP, na doença estomatite protética. Essa dificuldade de avaliação pode ser justificada pelas divergências intrínsecas e extrínsecas observadas em muitos aspectos, como diferentes costumes, hábitos sociais, estado emocional e fisiológico. A utilização de um modelo experimental em animais poderá minimizar essas divergências e fornecer condições mais padronizadas para o experimento. Neste trabalho, foram avaliadas, quantitativamente, a expressão gênica das enzimas SAP-2, SAP-5 e SAP-9, presentes no biofilme formado na superfície interna das placas acrílicas superiores de ratos e, microscopicamente, a invasão do fungo no tecido epitelial do palato. Para isso, foram selecionados 49 ratos Wistar, com 90 dias de vida, pesando em média 300g, os quais foram divididos em 3 grupos: Controle, Placa/Candida e Placa, acompanhados durante 2, 4 e 6 dias. Os resultados demostraram que, em 4 dias de uso da placa acrílica contaminada, houve, em alguns ratos, sinais clínicos de inflamação no palato duro; microscopicamente, hiperplasia epitelial, hiperqueratinização, invasão fúngica nas camadas superficiais do revestimento epitelial, microabscessos de Munro e hiperplasia papilar; e maior percentual de neutrófilos no Grupo Placa/Candida em relação aos Grupos Controle e Placa. Também no quarto dia de uso da placa acrílica superior, no Grupo Placa/Candida, o biofilme formado na sua superfície interna apresentou a mais alta expressão gênica relativa das enzimas SAP-2, SAP-5 e SAP-9 que os períodos de 2 e 6 dias de uso. Assim, a invasão fúngica no revestimento epitelial do palato duro pode estar correlacionada com a alta expressão de RNAm das SAPs -2, -5 e -9. / Denture stomatitis (D.S.) affects the oral mucosa in contact with removable dentures, and clinically characterized by erythema with varying degrees of inflammation. This disease is considered a multifactorial etiology, with a combination of factors such as trauma, lack of hygiene, continuous use of stents, hypersensitivity to the material used for dentures, diabetes, immunosuppressive therapy and fungal infection, such as different species of Candida. The main virulence factors of the fungus are the formation of hyphae, dimorphism, phenotypic changes, adherence, persistence, synergism with bacteria, interference with the host defense system and the production of hydrolytic proteins. Among the hydrolytic proteins, the secreted aspartyl proteinase (SAP) is one of the most important in the pathogenesis of C. albicans. SAP is harmful to both the epithelial tissue and to the host\'s immune system. It is not fully understood the real penetration of the fungus in the epithelium tissue and its correlation with the presence of SAP, in denture stomatitis. This difficulty in evaluation can be justified by the intrinsic and extrinsic differences observed in many aspects, different customs, social`s habits, emotional and physiological state. Using an experimental animal model may minimize these differences and provide more standardized conditions for the experiment. In the present work, the aim was to evaluate quantitatively the gene expression of enzymes SAP-2, SAP-5 and SAP-9 of the biofilm formed in internal surface of rat`s upper acrylic plates, and to analysis microscopically, the fungal invasion in palatal epithelial tissue. 49 Wistar rats were selected, 90 days old, weighing on average 300g. They were divided into three groups: Control Group, Plate/Candida and Plate, follow by 2, 4 and 6 days of the use of the plates. The results demonstrated, in four days of use of the acrylic plate, clinical signs of inflammation in the hard palate; microscopically epithelial hyperplasia, hyperkeratinization, fungal invasion in the superficial layers of the epithelial lining, Munro`s microabscess and papillary hyperplasia; and higher percentage of neutrophils in the Plate/Candida Group, compared to Control and Plate Groups. In the period of 4 days, the relative gene expression of the SAPs-2, -5 and -9 in biofilm also showed to be higher in Plate/Candida Group, compared with the periods of 2 and 6 days. Thus, the fungal invasion in the epithelial lining of the hard palate may be correlated with high mRNA expressionn of SAPs -2, -5 e -9.

Apport de la méta-modélisation formelle pour la conception des Systèmes Automatisés de Production

Piétrac, Laurent 12 January 1999 (has links) (PDF)
Les travaux présentés dans ce mémoire portent sur l'étude des langages et méthodes de conception des Systèmes Automatisés de Conception (SAP). Notre objectif est l'amélioration de la rigueur de la définition de ces langages et méthodes. Le moyen retenu est l'utilisation d'un langage formel, le langage Z, pour les méta-modéliser. Dans un premier temps, nous présentons les travaux existants sur l'étude de l'activité de modélisation, afin de montrer l'intérêt de la méta-modélisation vis-à-vis de notre objectif. Dans un deuxième temps, nous caractérisons les différents aspects que doit couvrir un méta-modèle pour représenter avec rigueur un langage ou une méthode. Dans un troisième temps, nous présentons de quelle façon le langage Z permet de couvrir l'ensemble de ces besoins. Nous validons alors notre approche sur deux exemples. Le premier exemple est un langage de conception des systèmes à événements discrets : les réseaux de Petri généralisés. Le deuxième exemple est une méthode de conception de la commande des systèmes hybrides intégrant deux langages : les réseaux de Petri temporels à événements et les équations différentielles.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) & World BankStructural Adjustment Programs : Review study of adjustment-aid theory

Lahdenperä, Jori, Humayoun, Shehzad January 2010 (has links)
<p>Monetary funding to developing countries is today accompanied by so called “Structural Adjustment Programs” (SAPs) imposed by the IMF and the World Bank, consisting of economical policy reforms that the countries have to undergo in order to be eligible for loans. The impact of these adjustment loans is widely criticized due to the negative effects observed. Our purpose is to investigate in depth why these adjustment programs have not delivered the expected results. We’ve found that there exist some undesirable consequences following SAP implementation that has a hindering effect on growth. These, combined with the complicate context in which the IMF and World Bank operates can be seen as the explanation for the adversity experienced.</p>

Förbättrad produktionsplanering med SAP APO : En studie på Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB i Finspång / Improved production planning with SAP APO : A study at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB in Finspang

Walldén, Joel, Elofsson Tottmar, Kristian January 2010 (has links)
<p>Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB, nedan utskrivet som Siemens, är en svensk turbintillverkare placerad i Finspång som tillhör den tyska koncernen Siemens AG. Turbintillverkningen i Finspång började 1911 under namnet STAL men har sedan dess bytt ägarstruktur flertalet gånger. STAL-Laval, ABB STAL och Alstom Power är ett urval av de namn verksamheten har haft innan den blev en del av Siemens.</p><p>Ett problem som Siemens står inför vid produktionsplanering av gasturbiner är de mycket långa ledtider inom den egna produktionen samt från underleverantörerna. Den totala ledtiden för en gasturbin är cirka 2,5 år samtidigt som de flesta kunder beställer sin gasturbin cirka ett år innan leverans. Produktionsplaneringen förlitar sig därför mycket på prognoser vilket skapar en osäkerhet. Detta gör det svårt att sätta en huvudplan som matchar den sanna efterfrågan från kunderna. Problemet förenklas inte av att en turbin är en mycket komplex produkt med djupa och breda produktstrukturer. Utan en säker huvudplan blir det svårt för Siemens att planera för tillverkning och inköp på ett effektivt sätt. Vid examensarbetets utförande fanns ett tydligt behov av att förbättra planeringsprocessen på Siemens för att på sikt få en stabilare och bättre planering.</p><p>Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) är ett så kallat avancerat planeringssystem från den tyska affärssystemsleverantören SAP. SAP levererar dessutom Siemens affärssystem R/3. APO kan användas för att planera och styra en hel supply chain med hjälp av sofistikerade matematiska metoder. APO är kopplat till R/3 så data kan överföras dem emellan men arbetet som utförs i APO sker i en fristående miljö så att scenariosimulering kan genomföras.</p><p>Examensarbetets syfte är att analysera hur APO kan stödja produktionsplaneringen på Siemens. För att göra detta har tre frågor ställts och besvarats. Dessa frågor är:</p><ul><li>Vilka behov finns i dagsläget på Siemens i Finspång?</li><li>Vilka funktioner finns i planeringssystemet APO och hur fungerar de?</li><li>Går det att matcha Siemens nuvarande behov med funktionerna i APO? </li></ul><p>Under arbetets första skede behandlades de två första frågeställningarna parallellt. Först när dessa besvarats analyserades matchningen dem emellan som efterfrågas i fråga tre.</p><p>De behov som har observerats är:</p><ul><li>Ersätta och förbättra dagens simuleringsverktyg Testsystem 4 som kommer att försvinna oktober 2010</li><li>Möjliggöra kapacitetsutjämning och simulering vid taktisk planering för att skapa bättre beslutsunderlag till huvudplanen</li><li>Kvotering vid köpa/tillverka-beslut måste effektiviseras för att ge ett bättre underlag till den egna verksamheten och till externa leverantörer</li><li>Minska beroendet av nyckelpersoner samt komma ifrån betydelsen av tumregler vid planeringsarbete</li><li>Förenkla arbetet med prognossammanställning och utveckla arbetet kring prognosuppföljning.</li></ul><p>De funktioner i APO som studerats under examensarbetes gång är Demand Planning (DP), Supply Network Planning (SNP) och Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS). DP kan sammanställa en efterfrågeplan och har verktyg för prognostisering och prognosuppföljning. SNP är ett verktyg för taktiskt planering som klarar av att beläggningsutjämna produktionen genom de tre lösningsmetoderna Optimizer, Heuristics och Capable-To-Match. PP/DS använder matematiska metoder för att underlätta den operativa planeringen i ett företag.</p><p>Författarnas första rekommendation till Siemens är att använda modulen SNP till att förbättra den taktiska planeringen. Detta kan ske genom att huvudplanerare kan kontrollera beläggningsutjämning tidigt samt simulera olika planer för att välja den som anses bäst. På så sätt kommer Siemens planerare få ett bra beslutsunderlag att basera sina beslut på. Genom att använda SNP på detta sätt kommer även behovet av att ersätta TS4 uppfyllas. SNP kan även användas till att hantera behovet av bättre kvotering genom att bygga en separat modell dedikerad till denna uppgift vilket kommer leda till effektivare arbetsrutiner i den operativa planeringen.</p><p>Den andra rekommendationen är att DP används som ett verktyg för att ge stöd vid efterfrågeplanering och prognosuppföljning. Om SNP samt DP nyttjas till de uppgifter beskrivna ovan kommer möjlighet ges till att avlasta nyckelpersoner och även undvika beroendet av tumregler.</p><p>Eftersom det inte finns något överhängande behov av att förbättra detaljplaneringen rekommenderas inte att implementera PP/DS innan de under examensarbetet identifierade behoven har åtgärdats.</p><p>Oavsett hur APO ska används på Siemens är det mycket viktigt att implementeringsarbetet sker grundligt och att mycket fokus läggs på förberedelser. Ett avancerat planeringsverktyg som APO måste implementeras smart om det ska kunna användas fördelaktigt. Beroende på hur APO används kommer det eventuellt att medföra en del förändringar i hur dagens planeringsarbete ser ut vilket är viktigt för Siemens att inse och rätta sig efter. Därför är det av yttersta vikt att implementeringsarbetet utförs av konsulter med mycket kunskap och erfarenhet av APO tillsammans med personal på Siemens med god kunskap om verksamheten och dagens arbete.</p> / <p>Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB, called only Siemens below, is a Swedish gas turbine manufacturer located in Finspång and is a part of the German group Siemens AG. The production of gas turbines in Finspång was first started in 1911 a company named STAL. Since then the site has changed name numerous times and was at times part of groups such as ABB and Alstom Power before it finally became a part of Siemens AG.</p><p>Siemens has got a problem in their production planning process due to very long lead times, both within the own production and from their suppliers. The production lead time for a gas turbine is approximately 2.5 years although Siemens’s customers usually order a gas turbine one year before delivery. The production planners therefore have to rely on forecasts which create uncertainties. This makes it hard to make a master plan that match the actual demand. The complexity of a gas turbine and its deep and wide product structures makes it even harder. Without a good master plan it is very hard to plan effectively further down in the planning hierarchy for the procurement and manufacturing planners. There is clearly a need to improve the production planning process to be able to in time create a more stable and better plan.</p><p>Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) is a so called advanced planning system from SAP. SAP also delivers Siemens’s ERP-system R/3. APO can be used to plan and control an entire supply chain by using sophisticated mathematical methods. APO is connected to R/3 making data transfer in between easy and also allowing scenario testing outside the actual ERP-system.</p><p>The purpose of this master thesis is to analyze how APO can support the production planning process at Siemens. To do that, these three questions have been asked:</p><ul><li>What are the present needs at Siemens in Finspång?</li><li>What functions are available in APO and how do they work?</li><li>Is it possible to match the needs at Siemens with the functions in APO? </li></ul><p>Firstly the questions number one and two were answered simultaneously. Not until those questions were answered the answer to the third one was explored by analyzing the match between the two first.</p><p>The present needs found at Siemens were:</p><ul><li>To replace and improve the current simulation tool TS4 which will be gone in October 2010</li><li>To make capacity leveling and simulation possible at a tactical planning level that can enable better decision making for the master plan </li><li>Quotation at the make/buy decision has to become more effective to make planning easier at their own workshops as well as at their external suppliers </li><li>To decrease dependence of key human resources and also to stop relying on rules of thumb during the production planning </li><li>To simplify the tasks forecast aggregation and to develop the work regarding follow-up of forecasts </li></ul><p>The APO functions that have been investigated are Demand Planning (DP), Supply Network Planning (SNP) and Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS). DP can aggregate a demand plan and has got tools for statistical forecasting and forecast follow-up. SNP is a tool for tactical planning that also can handle capacity leveling through the three different solving methods Optimizer, Heuristics and Capable-To-Match. PP/DS use mathematical methods to handle detailed planning at a short planning horizon.</p><p>The authors’ first recommendation is to use the SNP module to improve their tactical planning. This could be done by letting the master planner control capacity leveling early on and also run different scenarios and then choosing the best one. This will provide Siemens’s production planners with reliable information to base decisions on. Also by using SNP in this way the need of a TS4 replacement will be met. SNP can also be used to manage the need of better quotation by building a separate model that is dedicated especially for this task which will increase the work efficiency in operational planning.</p><p>The second recommendation is that DP is being used as a supportive tool for demand planning and forecast follow-up. If both SNP and DP are used for the tasks mentioned above it will also be possible to decrease dependence of key human resources and avoid planning by rules of thumb.</p><p>Since there is no obvious need of improved detailed planning at the moment, PP/DS is not recommended to be implemented before the other recommended modules.</p><p>No matter how APO is going to be used at Siemens it is of utter importance that the implementation is thought through and well planned with a lot of focus on the preparations. An advanced planning system such as APO has to be implemented smartly if it is to work properly. Depending on how APO is to be used there might be some changes in the present way of working with planning which is important for Siemens to realize before executing the implementation. It is also very important that the implementation is being done by a team of skilled consultants with expert knowledge and plenty of experience of APO implementations together with people with a broad knowledge of Siemens’s business.</p>

Implementeringen av ERP-systemet SAP R/3 : En komparativ fallstudie av Posten AB och Mölnlycke Health Care

Olsson, Martin, Petrini, Robert January 2006 (has links)
<p>Implementeringen av ett ERP-system ses inte längre som en ren informations¬teknisk angelägenhet utan en förändring som påverkar hela verksamheten. En implementering, ur vårt perspektiv, är en införandeprocess som har sin början i organisationens motiv till en implementering, valet av system och val av leverantör. Implementeringens omfattning sträcker sig i vår studie till den dag hela systemet tas i bruk. Forskningsfrågor som denna uppsats behandlar är vad som karaktäriserar en implementering av ERP-systemet SAP R/3 samt vad som innefattas i implementeringsbegreppet.</p><p>Uppsatsen har utförts genom en komparativ kvalitativ fallstudie där data in¬hämtats genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Vårt teoretiska fundament utgår ifrån åtta teoretiska sektioner och benämns som ”oktanten”. De områden som ingår i vår oktant är strategi, projekt, process och funktion, standardsystem, organisationsanpassning, systemanpassning, utbildning samt testning och fel¬sökning. Valet av teoretiska aspekter täcker upp de mest väsentliga områden som lämpar sig bäst för vår fokusering av ämnet och bidrar till att besvara vår andra forskningsfråga.</p><p>Vi har i denna studie valt att studera hur två organisationers implementering av SAP R/3 har gått till, vad resultatet har varit och varför det blev som det blev. Resultatet, som gäller i båda de studerade fallen, visar att en implementering karaktäriseras av fyra perspektiv som avser strategi, innovation, kommunikation och samarbete. Utöver de karaktäriserande perspektiven utgörs särskilt viktiga aspekter inom processbearbetning.</p><p>Resultatet utifrån de fyra perspektiven beskrivs mer utförligt men kortfattat nedan.</p><p>Strategi: underskattning av planerad resursförbrukning och överskridande av deadlines samt bristande stöd från ledningen.</p><p>Innovation: motiveringssvårigheter vid förändring hos användarna.</p><p>Kommunikation: särskilt lyckad placering av projektgrupper på samma geografiska plats.</p><p>Samarbete: otillräcklig utbildning och brist på utbildningskompetens, stort supportbehov samt överlåtande av arbetsansvar till konsulter.</p> / <p>Implementing an ERP-system is no longer considered an information technology concern purely but a change affecting the whole organization. An implementation is, by our definition, an initiation process starting with the motives of the organization to execute the implementation, choice of system and choice of vendor. The scope of the implementation, in our study, stretches until the day the system goes live. This thesis attends following research questions: what characterises implementation of the ERP-system SAP R/3 and what is included in the concept of implementation?</p><p>The thesis has been performed through a comparative qualitative case study where data has been collected during semi-standard interviews. Our theoretical foundation is divided into eight sectors forming an octant all together. Areas composing our octant are strategy, project and function, standard system, organizational adoption, system adoption, education and testing and error detection. The choice of theoretical aspects covers the most vital areas suitable for our focus on the subject and contributes to answering our second research question.</p><p>In this study we have chosen to examine the process of two organizations implementations of SAP R/3, the outcome and why it resulted in the way it did.</p><p>The result shows that, for both cases, a implementation is characterised of four perspectives concerning strategy, innovation, communication and cooperation. In addition to the characterised perspectives certain aspects of process re-engineering are particularly important.</p><p>The result out of the four perspectives is more detailed but briefly describes bellow.</p><p>Strategy: underestimation in consumption of resources and exceeding deadlines along with lack of top management support</p><p>Innovation: difficulties motivating users for the change.</p><p>Communication: exceptional success in placing members of the projects at same geographical location.</p><p>Cooperation: insufficient level of education, lack of educational competence, great need of support and responsibility of work delegated to consultants</p>
