Organizations across industry domains are compelled to excel in producing and delivering products/services to an increasingly discerning customer base. The clients are demanding high quality, on time and at least cost delivery of products and services. Moreover with rising competition, there is enormous pressure on balancing cost-of-service with stringent margins of the business.

At Tata Strategic, we understand this business imperative and help organizations win this challenge while obliterating internal and external limitations. We call this Delivery Excellence and classify our offerings as below:

 

Project Excellence

Our experience shows that projects organizations can derive great benefits like on time and within cost project completion, if their processes are aligned to the business objectives. Tata Strategic helps organizations in creating sustainable business processes and effective change management by supporting phased implementation of new business processes through a systematic, data intensive and collaborative approach by focussing on the following.

 

Process Benchmarking

Companies can benefit enormously by understanding the industry best practices for issues that they are facing and quickly move up the learning curve. Tata Strategic’s Benchmarking methodology covers best practices and process benchmarks within the client’s company, within industry and in other industries to provide all round recommendations to the client.

Implementation & Change Management

Effective implementation and change management are very vital for realising full benefits from the process improvement exercise. Several organizations have faced challenges in change management phase of project improvement. Tata Strategic has a robust framework for supporting organizations through change management through its framework for Program Implementation.

 

Throughput Enhancement

During a growth phase or a margin crunch situation, getting more out of existing assets is paramount to success. Focussed attention to sweating assets to get more contribution/gross margin is what our Throughput Enhancement approach details out.

 

Cycle Time reduction

This helps client streamline their order to delivery processes and thereby results in cycle time reduction.

 

Make Vs Buy Decision

This helps determine quantum of capacity requirement and evaluates whether it can be manufactured in-house or needs an outsourcing approach.

 

Capacity de-bottlenecking

In case of a decision to manufacture in-house, we systematically evaluate how to de-bottleneck or modify existing production processes to unlock more output.

 

Project Monitoring Support (PMO)

With emphasis on right planning, Tata Strategic has developed a methodology for Project Monitoring Office (PMO) to help implementation of capital projects, both for promoters and for EPC players. The PMO offering is based on our in depth understanding of issues in capital project management in areas such as Planning & Scheduling, Interface Management, Site Management and Contract Management.

 

PMO Setup and Capability Building

Tata Strategic can support clients in preparing detailed project execution plan and develop business processes for setting up PMO.

 

Project Diagnostic Review

For capital project under execution, Tata Strategic can conduct a short diagnostic study of project management to identify gaps and improvements. This study can come handy for troubled projects, where the developers and contractors are trying to find ways to bring the project back on track in terms of execution schedule and cost overrun.

 

Periodic Project Monitoring

Tata Strategic can support the project developers and contractors by conducting an independent project status monitoring on a periodic basis. Our team will conduct site visit to ascertain project progress against plan and highlight possible issues and gaps that can lead to delay or cost overrun in future.
