The proof’s in the pudding

INFRASTRUCTURE

L&T Shipyard

BUILDING A WORLD-CLASS SHIPYARD AND A 200-METER SHIPLIFT UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE.

“Our plate supplies were nine months late, yet we finished the shipyard in a record 28 months.”

— Mr. P R Prabhu / Senior VP / L&T Shipyard

Based on the experience of their heavy engineering group, L&T deployed critical chain scheduling, enhanced by Realization’s radical approach. By turning to Realization early on, L&T set the stage for a better than good outcome—an astonishing 28-month timeline. This was achieved despite late delivery of critical supplies, and three cyclones.

EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE: A 5.5 MTPA HOT STRIP MILL COMPLETION SHATTERS INDUSTRY RECORDS BY FINISHING MONTHS AHEAD OF THE 38-MONTH STANDARD.

“At Jindal Oshida, we achieved an extraordinary milestone… establishing a record in the commissioning of a Hot-Strip Mill in 29 months.

Mr DK Tripathi, President – Projects, JSOL

The erection and commissioning of a 5.5 MTPA Hot Strip Mill took place in World Record 29 Months—in spite of the disruptions caused by the COVID pandemic. Commissioning of the Hot-Strip Mill proved to be ‘an extraordinary milestone’ in the furtherance JSOL’s ambitions in the flat products market.

VARDHMAN ADOPTS A GROUNDBREAKING APPROACH TO TRANSFORMING PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR RAPID EXPANSION

"We have worked with Realization Technologies for two of our largest expansion initiatives. (Process House and Cotton Yarn). Both times, the expansions were delivered on-time with added scope. Using their system, they helped us with forward looking signals that enabled us to take proactive decisions and actions and stay in control of the timelines throughout.”

overarching problems threatened on-time completion, widening a persistent gap between management’s view and reality.

“Our Khargone team could now be proactive. They completed all major milestones on time despite all the problems that happened in a four year project.”

— Mr. Ajay Shukla / AGM / National Thermal Power Corporation of India

Ten-thousand drawings, and 100,000 tasks. Planning and execution disconnects and scattered information. These were just a few of the systemic problems we faced. Yet, within a month of implementing Realization's approach, the project management team had complete visibility into areas that had bottlenecks.

MRO PROJECTS

US Navy decides to ‘Turn & Burn’

By late 2015, half the F/A-18 Hornet fleet was grounded by a maintenance crisis. A Quick turn around was essential.

“We’ve been underway in that process now for a year, and we have already increased the depot throughput by 40%.”

Rear Adm. Michael Manazir / Director, Naval Airfare—In testimony to the House Armed Services Committee.

The Navy had pushed the jets well past the 6,000 flight-hour service limit. With delays in the delivery of the F-35, scheduled to replace the F/A-18 in 2020, there was a critical need to increase the pace of MRO projects. The clock was ticking, and for the US Navy's leadership, the stakes were high.

SHUTDOWN

ALMARAZ NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Shutdown completed 3 days early, power uprating 6 days ahead of schedule.er

“ALMARAZ NUCLEAR POWER PLANT adopted Critical Chain Methodology in 2007 to optimize engineering design activities, quickly realizing benefits such as increased productivity, enhanced visibility, and improved resource management. Success in engineering design led us to apply it to the Power Uprate Project during 2010 and 2011 refueling shutdowns. The methodology and support from CMG-CONSULTORES/REALIZATION enabled us to complete the project activities faster than scheduled.”

-Javier Sáenz de Santa María/Head of the Corporate Planification of CNAT /Almaraz and Trillo Nuclear Power Plants

The stakes were high. The value of one day of production at the Almaraz plant was one million Euros .Managing the Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant's intricate shutdowns and power uprating projects required overcoming design complexities and resource constraints.
