goal of 15 months for project completion for the TYS 5
project, with an estimated commissioning period of 12
months, followed by three months of stabilization.
By mid-December, the TYS 5 plant had met its 98.5
per cent utilization milestone in just 14 months, a 33
per cent improvement over the previous projects. “We
have set a new project speed and productivity bench-
mark for the spinning industry and expect to continue
to set new industry benchmarks moving forward,” said
Mr. Rajinder Gupta, Managing Director of Trident
Group.
In order to achieve the impressive TYS 5 project re-
sults, the executives at Trident did not follow the tradi-
tional, 100-year-old Gantt methodology for managing
projects, which typically requires about 21 months to
complete a comparable factory construction and com-
missioning project. Instead, Trident adopted Realiza-
tion’s Real-Time Synchronization methodology, which
helps organizations complete projects 20 to 50 per cent
faster by eliminating multi-tasking and ensuring that all
teams are always working on the highest priority tasks
during execution.
The key elements of Real-Time synchronization
that helped Trident were full-kitting, or the process of
ensuring all key components were in place for each
phase of the process before proceeding; synchroniza-
tion across all parties, including external vendors, so all
were working as a unified team; and priority compli-
ance, to ensure that all tasks were completed in priority
order, even as priorities shifted during execution to
account for uncertainties. By implementing Real-Time
Synchronization, Trident made a dramatic shift away
