Dear
Amitabh :
I
hope you agree that Project Monitoring
is NOT a Rocket Science
Reputed
Infrastructure / Manufacturing companies around the World , ( especially in
China / S Korea / Japan ) , have been known to complete projects on time - and
within cost-estimates , using age-old PERT
technique ( only , now ONLINE and COLLABORATIVELY )
Closer
at home , you may just want to request help from Shri A M Naik ( Chairman - L&T ) , for " donating
" to DIPP ( in National Interest , of course ) , the software which
L&T uses for execution of its orders
There
is no way , he will refuse such a request , coming from you ! In fact ,
he will feel " honored " !
In
the meantime , you may want to look at my latest blog
regards,

Nothing Prettier
than PERT !
Economic
Times ( 12 Oct 2015 ) carries a report
titled :
"
Panel set up for Innovation in Govt Projects
"
As
per this report, the Prime Minister has put together a team that will decide,
--
how government projects can be executed using cutting edge technologies and
practices
The
empowered committee for Innovative Collaborations was set up to incorporate the
very latest solutions that science and technology has to offer
MY SUGGESTION :
*
When any Ministry submits any Project Proposal for Cabinet approval , it MUST
be accompanied by a PERT ( Program Evaluation and Review Technique )
Chart , clearly showing all the " Activities " lying along the
CRITICAL PATH
-
( earlier known as the CRITICAL PATH METHOD
)
That PERT Chart must accompany a tabulation showing , for each " Activity
",
# Pessimistic Time
# Optimistic Time , and the
# Most likely Time
Since Admiral Rickover , introduced this mandatory requirement for awarding
tender to build the first nuclear submarine, some 50 years ago , all US
government departments follow this procedure for all govt contracts
*
Insist that all the government departments / contractors, responsible for
execution of any of these "activities", update the PERT chart status online on the web site of the Project Monitoring
Group , on a DAILY basis
*
PERT charts for all the projects should be made visible
to the general public
*
If there is any " slippage " in any activity lying on the CRITICAL
PATH , the name of the department or contractor responsible , must appear in
bold RED letters , against that activity
This
is the only INNOVATION that we need to
ensure that the projects get completed in time and within budget
