Summary
The case study explores how HURL transformed its mega project using Wrench SmartProject to monitor project health parameters by issuing automated notifications. The system facilitated proactive corrective measures that have prevented projects delays, budget overrun, quality issues, identifying risk and risk mitigation, that has ensured adherence to safety norms.
Challenges
- The organisation was not able to track construction progress – Annual Plan, Monthly Progress Report, Weekly Progress Report, and Daily Progress Report, as well as compare S Curve plan with actual progress
- Unavailability of a complete procurement item progress reporting system with safety features
- Lack of a Real-Time Risk Analysis which will improve the quality of decision making
- The absence of Financial Progress – S Curve, Budget vs Committed Amount, Cost Control Sheet with variation reports, and cashflow
Benefits of implementing SmartProject
- A single version of truth
- Near-real-time access to information about the progress
- Weekly construction status update with photos
- Automated notifications in time to take action and prevent damage/delay
- Dashboards of statutory requirements, including safety, quality, issues and risk
