Greenfield/Brownfield Expansion
Going Above and Beyond, Delivering Success - Action TESA
Action TESA, a leading company in the wood panel industry, embarked on a Rs. 350Cr. brownfield expansion project in Sitarganj, Uttarakhand. Recognizing the criticality of timely delivery, the company sought a reliable implementation partner. Realization Technologies emerged as the ideal choice, offering their powerful Focus-&-Finish methodology and Streamliner software. This case study delves into how Action TESA harnessed these innovative tools to drive project execution, achieve remarkable results, and surpass initial projections.

Setting the Stage:

With the success of the project hinging on the timely supply, erection, and commissioning of key equipment, Action TESA faced an aggressive due date. Embracing Realization’s Focus-&-Finish approach, the company swiftly created a comprehensive plan within 14 days. Guided by Realization, Action TESA’s lean PMO team completed Tier-2 detailing within the first month, setting the stage for efficient and streamlined execution.

Action TESA’s adoption of the STREAMLINER software proved transformative, providing a multitude of benefits that propelled the project toward success.

We were struggling while planning the project in MSP & Primavera, tracking of project was not at all possible & multiple sheets of Excel, MSP was confusing. Now we are using this software & found that once the planning is done complexity of the project is much easier & apart from planning & monitoring, we also have much time to look for the engineering & execution activity. Presenting to our top management through software is as simple that everybody understands the bottlenecks & action plan is being made accordingly, we highly recommend this software for project planning, monitoring & control. I really appreciate the focus & finish concept”
Jaydev P, Senior Project Manager

Capturing the F&F Strategy:

The software’s unique multi-tier structure enabled Action TESA to align its strategic vision with granular details and progress updates. This comprehensive approach ensured a synchronized and cohesive execution strategy.

Streamliner’s uniform prioritization mechanism facilitated seamless alignment among all internal and external stakeholders. Action TESA fostered collaboration and synergy across the organization by establishing a shared understanding of priorities.

Aligning the Organization:

The software provided dynamic visibility to the top and senior management, empowering proactive decision-making in response to external deviations. Action TESA harnessed this transparency to stay on track and promptly address any challenges that arose, ensuring project control and success.

Tangible Results:

Not only did Action TESA successfully maintain control over the project, but they also anticipate completing it ahead of Realization’s initial projections. This achievement attests to the effectiveness of Streamliner in driving accelerated project timelines.

“After 9 months of implementation, not only have we been able to keep our project in control, but I also feel confident that we will complete the project faster than what was projected by Realization when we started. During the course of execution, we have not faced the usual fire-fighting that people face in projects and by diligently adhering to the Focus-&-Finish batch priorities, we have been able to achieve more progress with fewer resources, than what we have experienced in the past.”
- A K Singh, President, Action Tesa

Intangible Benefits:

In addition to the measurable outcomes, Action TESA experienced several intangible benefits that contributed to the project’s overall success.

Efficient Project Management:

By utilizing the system exclusively for project execution, Action TESA minimized the need for external tools and enhanced efficiency. The project progressed without the usual firefighting associated with such endeavors, allowing the team to achieve more with fewer resources.

Streamlined Team:

With a dedicated 2-member project planning and monitoring team reporting directly to the project head, Action TESA efficiently managed the project and simultaneously monitored smaller expansion projects using the same system. This streamlined approach ensured consistency and enhanced project coordination.
