A PROJECT
ON
2018-2020
The situation has worsened with the advancement of the local economy and the rise of
a huge middle-class population. Since the late 1990’s the local authorities in Mumbai
have undertaken ambitious plans to construct several flyovers, underpasses, tollway
corridors and sea links across bay water bodies to ease the congestion and many of the
projects are already implemented. One such project has been to connect the Bandra
and Worli points across Mahim Bay by a 5.6 km long tollway bridge with eight traffic
lanes for the exclusive use of fast moving vehicles, thus opening a north-south corridor
known as the Bandra Worli Sea Link which has been now re-named ‘Rajiv Gandhi Setu’.
It consists of a cable stayed bridge of 500m main span over the Bandra
Channel and a second cable stayed bridge of main span 150m over the
Worli Channel.
The new sea crossing has already made an enormous contribution to easing congestion
on the busy roads of this metropolis. The government also has ambitious plans to
connect Worli with Nariman Point across the sea and also to connect Sewri in South
Mumbai to Nhava in Navi Mumbai over the sea with an eight-lane (two-way, four-lane)
highway bridge, the Mumbai Trans Harbor Link (MTHL) bridge which will be India's
longest sea link project. The initial design of the Bandra Worli Sea Link was conceived by
an eminent US-based consulting company that came up with the latest innovations and
techniques of modern day engineering in their concept.
1.3.2 Objectives
The underlying objective behind construction of Bandra-Worli Sea Link was to
identify a sustainable project having no or minimal adverse effect on marine life
and livelihood of the neighborhood residents while addressing the issue of high
traffic congestion in the area.
Major objectives identifiied for the Bandra-Worli Sea link are as follows:
To reduce traffic congestion in the economic metropolis and internationally
used harbor.
To identify the most feasible and cost effective alternative to overcome the
problem of trafficulation.
To reduce the number of road accidents by upgrading the road transportation
network.
To reduce both air and noise pollution in Dadar, Mahim, Prabhadevi and Worli
along existing roads channel.
1.3.4 Timeline
Oct’ 1992 Oct’ 1993 Jan’ 1999 Feb’ 2001 July 2009
1.3.5 Milestone
The major milestones of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link are-
Construction of a flyover over Love Grove junction in Worli.
Construction of a cloverleaf interchanges at the intersection of the Western
Express Highway and S.V. Road in Bandra.
Modern toll plaza.
Construction of solid approach road from the interchange to the Toll Plaza on
the Bandra side along with a public promenade.
Construction of the central cable-stayed spans with northern and southern
viaducts from Worli to the Toll Plaza at Bandra end.
Improvements to Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road. The fourth project was the
main phase of Bandra–Worli Sea Link Project, with the other packages
providing supporting infrastructure for the sea link.
Bridge Features:
8-lane Bridge with 2 lanes dedicated for buses.
Unique bridge design for the Link Bridge to emerge as a landmark structure
in the city.
Single tower supported 500 meter long cable-stayed bridge at Bandra
Channel and twin tower supported 350 m cable-stayed bridge at Worli
Channel for each carriageway.
Modern toll plaza of 16 lanes with automated toll collection system.
An intelligent bridge with state-of-the-art systems for traffic monitoring,
surveillance, information and guidance, instrumentation, emergency support
and more.
Development of promenade and landscaping to enhance the environment.
1.3.7 Constraints
A number of project deadlines were missed leading to the delay in project
delivery due to payment disputes and fishermen protests.
Cost overrun and time overrun.
Experts opined that though the bridge reduces the travel time to 7 minutes, this
duration is just from the end points of the sea-link. However, the actual travel
time is as high as almost 15 minutes beyond the boundaries of the bridge
1.3.8 Stakeholders
The major stakeholders in Bandra-Worli Sea Link are as follows-

We start off by listing out the activities involved in the construction of Bandra - Worli Sea
link followed by which Work Break Down structure using MS Project will be constructed.
A. RISK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE: The first step is to identify risks and categories based
on certain criterions, already done in Risk Analysis. RBS is a hierarchical
representation of risks, considering higher to finer level of risks. In this project we
have divided the risk into different categories similar to WBS. In the table below, all
the risks have been listed down which has been categories using MS Project. As per
the Risk Analysis, RBS has also been divided into 4 categories i.e. Time, People, Cost
and Contract.

B. Risk Severity Matrix: In the previous step, especially in RBS, we come to know the
qualitative aspect of risks which carry broader meanings. In order to tackle those risks
and measure their effect in real time, we use ‘Risk Severity Matrix’, that cover the
quantitative aspect of risk, which can ultimately be used to bring down the overall
uncertainty involved in a project. The Feasibility Project Risk is an analysis and
evaluation of ‘Bandra-Worli Sea Link Project’ to determine if it is:
a. Technically Feasible
b. Financially Feasible
In the FPR, in order to carry out Risk Analysis, we have taken the below mentioned
parameters:
a. Likelihood (Lij): The probability of happening of i(th) risk for j(th) activity.
b. Weightage (Wij): Corresponding weightage of each activity
c. Impact (Iij): Impact of i(th) risk on j(th) activity
d. Composite Likelihood Factor (CLFj): The likelihood of all risk sources for each
activity j
e. Composite Impact Factor (CIFj): The impact of all risk sources for each activity j

Risk Severity Analysis is carried out to identify and analyze potential issues or in our
case, activities that could have negatively impacted the construction of Bandra Worli
Sea Link Project. We have classified the risk parameters below, according to which
risk level has been indicated in Risk Severity Analysis Table.
RISK SEVERITY CLASSIFICATION
Severity Classification
0 - 0.0001 Very Low
0.0001 - 0.0005 Low
0.0005 - 0.001 Medium
0.001 - 0.002 High
0.002 - 1 Very High
C. Project Risk Analysis: Risk Analysis involves how project outcomes and overall
objectives might defer due to the impact of the events involving varying degrees
of risk. Once the risks are identified, they are analyzed to observe the quantitative
and qualitative impact of the risk on the project, in order to minimize the
potential damage by the risk.
Now that we have categorized different risks, the effect of these Risks will be
examined.
a. Time: Time delays occur due to various reasons ranging from approvals to
deliverable changes. It can also happen due to uncertain factors like weather
and part/machinery failures. In Bandra Worli Sea Link Project, the project kick off
itself was delayed due to government approvals and feasibility issues. Changes
in bridge design also pushed the deadline by 1 year.
b. People: Labor and Resource allocation is one of the key problem faced by
project managers as many resources might not be available at certain periods
due to resource specification/specialization required for particular tasks.
c. Cost: No project can start and proceed without the inflow of investments at the
right time. In this project, due to technical changes in the project, there is cost
escalation during the planning phase which should have been sorted in the
initiation – project feasibility phase itself. Cost factor is also affected by macro-
economic factors like inflation, interest rates etc.
D. Risk Register:
It is tool used in Project Management and Risk Management to identify potential risk
in a project to prevent deviations from the estimated outcomes. In other words, it
provides a mechanism to recognize potential risks and then map out different paths
to get the project back on track, if those risks come to reality. The following path is
used to create the Risk Register:
Feasibility study aims to rationally uncovering the underlying strengths and weaknesses
of an existing business or new preposition, threats or opportunities in the surrounding
environment along with the resources analysis and prospect for success.
In other words, two major factors to analyze feasibility are cost requirement and derived
value from the project. The feasibility study is done prior technical development and
project implementation.
Operational Feasibility:
It evaluates the extent to which the proposed project fits in the existing business
environment and area of expertise with regards to schedule, delivery date, corporate
culture and prevailing business processes.
Economic Feasibility:
The aim of the economic feasibility is to identify whether the project shows positive
economic benefits to the organization or not. It includes identification and
quantification of all the benefits expected of the project.
Technical Feasibility:
It aims at identifying current technical resources available and their applicability to
the expected needs of the proposed project.
Schedule Feasibility:
It estimates the duration required for the system development and if the project can
be completed in the same duration or not.
Hindustan Construction Company won the tender for Bandra-Worli Sea Link Project
during 1999 at an estimated project budget of Rs. 665.81 Crore for completion by March
2003.
However, due to poor progress of work by the contractor and unfavorable weather
conditions, appointment of a new project designing firm and changes in the technical
specifications, the project implementation was delayed. As a result of this, the estimated
cost of the project was revised
2. Cost Overrun: The project underwent numerous changes which not only led to time
delays but also huge cost overruns. Originally, budgeted at Rs. 665 Crores, the revised
cost went as high as up to Rs. 1306 Crores, due to the reasons mentioned below-
c. Construction of solid approach road from the interchange to the Toll Plaza on the
Bandra side along with a public promenade: Consultants: M/s Sverdrup Asia Ltd,
KPMG (India), TPG (India), C. Felice and Co – construction: Prakash Construction and
Engineering Ltd.
d. Construction of the central cable-stayed spans with northern and southern viaducts
from Worli to the Toll Plaza at Bandra end: HCC has a five-year liability period for
maintenance of the bridge. The south bound carriageway was commissioned in July
2009 and remaining works are in progress.
e. Improvements to Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road. The fourth project was the main
phase of Bandra–Worli Sea Link Project, with the other packages providing supporting
infrastructure for the sea link
As a result of this, the projects prime consultant Severdup was dropped for failure to
provide a competent project management and Dar-Al Handasah was hired as the
Design Consultants. The group modified the project design by adding 2.8 Kilometers
to the length and splitting the two eight lane bridge into two 4 lane bridges. The initial
delay in project lead to the shift in scheduled delivery date from 2002 to 2004. The
total cost rose by Rs. 50 Crores but due to paucity of funds, bad monsoon and
unpredictable work, the project was further delayed.
To worsen the situation, fisherman’s concern about loss of livelihood and complaints
from environmentalists regarding damage to marine ecology created uncertainty over
project completion. As a result of it, the contractor requested for an additional fund
of Rs. 300 Crores to cover for the delay and design changes. But the government was
in a stand to offer not more than Rs. 120 Crores. The project cost rose to Rs. 1,306 till
2005 and finally the project was completed in 2009 for an amount of Rs. 1,684 Crores.
Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation:
MSRDC was the project initiator. It thus had full authority to take decisions regarding
the project, had full control on economic assets, information communication and
control and detailed knowledge on project specifications and deliverables. The main
agenda behind the project was to reduce the traffic congestion in the area.
The changes in design of the sea link along with bad monsoon hitting the city lead to
huge burden on the Corporation to raise additional funds for the project. The project
was finally completed for Rs. 1,684 Crore over the estimated budget of Rs. 300
Crores.
The government was the primary source of funding to the project. The deviation
between the planned and actual cost of the project lead to additional burden on the
government.
It was thus obvious that the project will invite resistance from Environmentalists and
local communities residing in the area. Thus, the Ministry was responsible for smooth
grant of permission for project completion.
Dar-Al Handasah:
The original sea link design was proposed by Jacobs Sverdrup in 1999, which called for
the original cable-stayed span’s twin decks to share pylons. However, the contact was
later called off and given to Dar-Al Handasah due to unfavorable design and delayed
implementation by Sverdrup.
Dar-Al Handasah later changed the design in such a way that allowed each deck to be
independently supported by its own pylon to strengthen the design and hoping for an
earlier start for toll revenue. The design for the sea link for altered twice which lead
to huge cost escalation.
A number of petitions were filed against the Bandra Worli project for which the Board
analyzed to identify if the petitions were appropriate or not.
IPT was responsible for bringing all stake-watchers together to protect the interest of
all stakeholders.
Employees:
The number of employees hired during the construction of the sea link varied
throughout the construction phase which is due to unusual halts in the project. The
average number of employees hired during peak construction was 3,500 while the
average engineers hired were 150.

PROJECT 2:
ERP IMPLEMENTATION
IN FMCG INDUSTRY
1. ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING:
To define, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is system which brings all the decision
making information from all the departments in a company into one single place in
order to increase efficiency, productivity and profit of company. ERP consists of three
words Enterprise, Resource and Planning. There are many structures which deal with
resource planning. It is the initiative part that is important. ERP’s power and Potential
comes from the movement from traditional business to enterprise business model.
Before the start of Systems Integration, different departments in an organization were
responsible for developing their very own computer systems, each one working
distinctly using its own applications and data. Each and every department relied on the
others to transfer key information. Items such as employee numbers would be
generated in one system, then passed on and entered physically into the other
applications. This process was not convenient. The coordination of information was
manual, slow and unreliable. Mistakes happened, leading to additional complications as
mistaken data propagated throughout the organization. Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) standardizes and reduces the number of software fortes required in big
organizations. The ERP systems of today generally cover one or a number of the
following:
The FMCG industry market is very competitive in nature. If a retailer’s shelves are
empty of a manufacturer’s product, he will simply fill them with a challenging product.
This test of ensuring that the business is enhanced to cater to ever-changing market
demands is issue which every FMCG major is facing. The demands of a very competitive
market require a solution that supports process-centric collaboration inside and across
its value chain.
The key challenges which FMCG industry facing are:
1. Packaged Software
The ERP system should be a complete package of modules that are required by the
company. As far as Dabur is concerned, the system should comprise of modules like
Sales and Distribution, Materials Management, Production Planning, Quality
Management, Plant Maintenance, etc. The system modules should be well-integrated
and highly efficient.
1. Management
The most important stakeholder in the implementation of ERP is the management,
since it is the management which is accountable for the funding of the implementation.
Operational implementation an ERP system needs significant investment of time and
money on the part of the management. As such, it would be in their interest to ensure
that the system is working efficiently and achieving the desired results.
2. Employees
The next priority in the list would be the workers of the company. It has been observed
that employees in an organization are always less than open to ERP implementation in
their company, because they are worried that their jobs and positions in the
organization would be in danger. Therefore, employees need to be given assurance
that their services are still valuable in the company in order to ensure that their loyalty
near the company does not waver.
3. Customers
The consumers of Dabur are also involved because they would expect better service
and products from the company now that it has executed ERP software. So it is in the
interest of the company to ensure that it meets the customers’ expectations.
4. Suppliers
The suppliers of Dabur would also be interested in the ERP implementation
program of Dabur because the information supplied to them regarding orders,
materials and other production planning decisions would now be more accurate and
timely. Accordingly, they can meet the orders in time and without any mistakes as to
the quality and quantity of the goods to be supplied.
5. External Users
External users refer to the shareholders as well as the potential investors in the
company. This category of people would be interested in knowing how far the
implementation of ERP in the company has been successful and whether it has
achieved the results it originally set out to achieve. This knowledge might ultimately
play an important role in their decisions regarding their investment in the company.
BENEFITS OF ERP
DABUR is one of those companies who have implemented two ERP systems
successfully by streamlining its primary distribution system and outbound logistics. It
has used both MFG/PRO and BaaN. MFG/PRO can run in an offline mode using local
database and it is network independent which served as one of the major benefits of
this kind of system.They were facing issues like maintenance costs, data redundancy,
etc. So, in April 2006, they migrated from standalone ERP systems - Baan and Mfg to
centralized SAP ERP system for all business units (BUs).MFG/PRO is a fully integrated
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution, which includes manufacturing,
distribution, customer service and financial applications and back-end system (Baan)
for materials planning and production scheduling. Thus it helps create deliverable
processes in the outbound logistics and seamlessly integrate it with strategic inventory
management, credit control and sales generation.
IT INITIATIVES
Migration from Baan and Mfg. ERP Systems to centralized SAP ERP system
from 1st April 2006 for all business units.
Implementation of a country wide new WAN Infrastructure for
running centralized ERP system.
Setting up of new Data Centre at KCO Head Office.
Extension of Reach System to distributors for capturing Secondary Sales Data.
Roll out of IT services to new plants and CFAs.

2. Employees
The next priority in the list would be the employees of the company. It has been
observed that employees in an organization are always less than receptive to ERP
implementation in their company, because they are concerned that their jobs and
positions in the organization would be in danger. Therefore, employees need to be
given assurance that their facilities are still valuable in the company in order to ensure
that their faithfulness towards the company does not waver.
3. Customers
The customers of Dabur are also involved because they would expect better service
and products from the company now that it has implemented ERP software. So it is in
the attention of the company to confirm that it meets the customers’ expectations.
4. Suppliers
The suppliers of Dabur would also be interested in the ERP implementation program of
Dabur because the information supplied to them concerning orders, materials and
other production planning decisions would now be more accurate and timely.
Therefore, they can meet the orders in time and without any mistakes as to the quality
and quantity of the goods to be supplied.
5. External Users
External users refer to the shareholders as well as the potential investors in the
company. This category of people would be involved in knowing how far the
implementation of ERP in the company has been successful and whether it has attained
the results it originally set out to achieve. This information might ultimately play an
important role in their decisions regarding their investment in the company.

Stakeholders:
The project life cycle can be divided into four stages they are initiation, planning,
execution, maturity and control and conclusion. In order to implement ERP package at
an FMCG sector following steps can be followed in project life cycle planning.
Process study: During this phase information is obtained from the end user and
then the collected information is segregated across the various level of the
organizational structure.
Process Finalization: Decisions are taken by both consultants and User at various
level of the organization. Consultants help in finalizing the functionalities that need to
be implemented and users are responsible for the business processes that are to be
incorporated.
Configuration: During this process system is configured as user requirements.
Gap analysis and resolution: This activity identifies the gap between the current
position of the organization and the future positions that are to be achieved a per
users’ requirements.
Scenario development and testing: During this phase scenarios are developed as
per the information furnished by the user and tested. Each scenario is developed into
test cases for testing purpose.
Master Data collection and cleaning for uploading to Production Client: Inter
and intra module interfaces are developed in the system by the consultants depending
upon the master data received from the end users. The master data includes Material
master, Customers, Assets, vendors, Board of management (BOM) work centres etc.
Apart from the historical data of the past transitions occurring with the organization is
also mentioned this reduces the gap between the new requirements a furnished in the
BRD (Business requirement document) and the old system that was in place.
Training at all locations: In order to train people about the newly implemented
ERP system, the team responsible for developing the ERP module selects a senior
consultant how has been associated with the development phase of the each of the
module of ERP system. They provide functional KT (Knowledge Transfer) to user who is
mostly “master data team lead” at the FMCG site where the ERP system is
implemented. This constitute the first level of hierarchy in training. The 2 nd level of the
hierarchy consist of where the super user “Master data team lead” provides KT to the
each of the site champions. The 3 rd level of hierarchy consist of the flow of information
from site champion to end user.
Cut Over activity: During this phase the team responsible for developing the ERP
system checks the framework through sanity testing and then program is deployed into
the host server. During this phase the client or the FMCG sector personal are not
advised to use the system.
Maturity and control: The maturity and control consist of flowing stages.
Go Live: Once the deployment has taken place to the host server the code
becomes live for the users at the FMCG industry to be used by them for their data to
day activity.
Once the system is live, there are chances that some of the functionality won’t
work as desired because of some bug in the code framework. In order to overcome
such scenario the organizations responsible for developing the ERP system provide “
post go live support (PGLS) to the personal at FMCG sector “ the period of the PGLS is
mostly two weeks where entire bugs reported by the users need to be fixed however
depending upon the stability of the system and the PGLS phase may be extended until
and unless the system dynamics are achieved.
Once the ode is live in the systems of FMCG industry they need to consolidate
the information’s from the different source. Since the business across the globe hence
the major problem associated with data consolidation is the data Integration. In order
to overcome this an FMCG sector might take a call to divide the project into different
sections where on go live is followed by another with certain modification to basic ERP
frame work based on the requirements of the individual region.
Conclusion: Once the project is live in the system the company will sign in the final
documents where the terms and clause of the project will be mentioned and
depending upon the contract type, they will pay the final amount of money to the party
responsible for developing the ERP system.
Risk Management Process:
The Risk management process is carried out by the core team of the organization this is
done to avoid any unforeseen circumstances that might disturb the dynamics of the
project. The risk management process follows following stages risk Identification, risk
assessment, risk pyritization and mitigate risk.
We made an attempt to classify risk in four main areas of the organization they are
technical, schedule, operational, business and organizational.
Technical risks: These will arise due to selection of technology such as hardware and
software compliances associate, quality, reliability and security problems.
Schedule risks: They will impact by hampering the program to achieve its goals and
objective within the scheduled time.
Operational risks: These risks will arise because of degrees of uncertainty associated
with the implementation costs mostly due to ‘scope-creep’ thereby impacting the time
and cost of the project.
Business risks: These are associated with change in economic or other conditions
outside the direct control of the project which has an ability to impact the project in an
negatively manner.
Apart for the risks listed above there can be other risks associated with the project such
as legal issues, marketplace changes, government regulations, user skills, political
considerations and customer stability. Organisational risks may prevent completion of
the project with scheduled resources thereby yielding poor ROI. Additionally, these
risks were also given one of four levels – programme management, external
engagement, in line with the incumbent reporting structure, work stream and work
package level. External environment risks are associated with those activities which
involve client-based concerns hereby requiring customer actions to help mitigate.
Programme management level risks have potential impact on several work such as
potential impact on completion or success as a whole, timing, significant release
milestones these are risks that cannot be fully identified at the initial level. Some risks
are associated with work packages within the same work stream these require help of
the work package managers to mitigate such risks. Work package level risks have
domestic impact within a work package and could impact on the completion date,
quality levels or costs of the work package.
The table below presents the Risk analysis Framework associated with ERP
implementation at FMCG sector.

RACI MATRIX:
The responsibility matrix shows that during the implementation of projects what are
the functions that are performed by the various stakeholders of the project.
Responsibility represents people who are responsible for completing the task.
Accountable denotes people who are making decisions and are responsible for
completing the tasks consult represents those group of people who will be
communicated the information and decisions taken, and informed represents who
need to be updated during the progress of the project.
It tells the organization about work load on its various resources as it shows what role
are assigned to each person. For example, the organization can see if someone has
been placed in the responsible/accountable/consult or informed role too many times
or not indicating that specific resource has been assigned too many tasks or they do
not have much of dependency thereby enabling the organization knows whether
someone has too many or could loaded with too many responsibilities.
Use RACI also indicates how various stakeholders associated with the project are
impacted in loop. RACI also helps in reducing miscommunication and increasing
productivity. So, if a task was improperly completed, RACI tells you who was involved
and ultimately accountable.
Resource Planning:
We have considered resources from the flowing teams It Department, Project Team,
Organization, Vendor, ERP consultant, Testing team and business -process expert.
Vendor is a third part to the project. The vendor is responsible for providing the ERP
package which is required by the client. The IT department present at the client end is
responsible for syncing the code from the team responsible for developing the project
to their server. The ERP consultant and testing team are responsible for developing the
entire the ERP frame work and testing team is responsible for testing and running the
entire module so that there are theoretically no glitches in the production system
during the actual code run. The Business process experts (Technical architects)
comprises of those people who expertise in the technology used and they are
responsible for furnishing valuable inputs during the project run. The table below
shows the resource allocation and budgeting schedule for the project run. The resource
levelling chart for the same have been attached at the back of the report.
Availability of all business process owners and users completing assigned project
tasks
Solicit technical resources from within the university as and when possible
No new major hardware will be required to install the designated ERP system
Training and other encouragements will be provided to project teams users to
enhance their capabilities and level of inspiration
Quality is first priority through project should be completed in 2 years with
minimum cost
ERP system offering best value for users will be selected though it could be
costly and may require technical compromises.
The data considered here are hypothetical as the actual industrial data was not
available.
The actual san of the project was 24 months however we have scaled it down to
level of 24 days so as to make calculations easy.
The project life cycle stages considered here are considered after referring to
various published research papers, in real life these scenarios may vary depending
upon the organization and complexity of the project.
LIMITATION OF PROJECT:
Actual industrial rates charged for such projects were not available hence we have
considered hypothetical data in that case.
The impact and severity of the risk has been found by hypothetical data, in real life a
survey
