With the adoption of liberal economic
policy, the need to contain the risk factor involved in financial transaction
has been felt. In the changing context, apart from quality and service
sector, the most important process would project management system, its
implementation remain the main criterion of competitive success of the
commercial organisations. In the present situation, to meet the expectation
of consumers, a consistent co-ordination and strict control over this will
be a realistic and desirable step. In line with the consumers' expectations,
BHEL, stands as a golden symbol in project implementation regarding equipments
and services of different variety. It's success story has glorified the
Indian economic landscape and influenced the power generation sector most
significantly.
EASTERN REGIONAL CENTRE AND
WORK CULTURE
Farsightedness, time specific planning,
proper utilisation of human resources, efficient and bold leadership have
made the Eastern Regional office of this organisation a `path finder'.
In the present industrial situation, BHEL has consistently played a vanguard
role in restoring the lost honour of Eastern region. Specific objective
oriented management system, meaningful investment of required resources,
and cost management remain the main source of this Organisation's rising
influence. In using the most modern appliances too, this office has set
an example of consistency. BHEL's sphere of activities has been the Sunrise
sectors, where we move ahead with a spirit of `Charaibati' which become
the shit anchor in creating its historical potentiality.
ACTIVITIES IN EASTERN REGION
The eastern region covers ten states
including West Bengal, Bihar, Orisa, Assam and the entire North-East. The
organisation's commercial activity being supply of mechinaries meant for
power generation and maintenance. Presently besides the existing thermal
power sector, the organisation works as the Nodal agency in gas sector
and hydro-electricity generation. Of the existing Thermal power projects,
Eight MW capacity based Tripura Rokhia, Gas based power unit (unit 5 and
6), DVC Mejia in West Bengal (3x210 MW) and Bakreswar of West Bengal Power
Development Corporation (3x210 MW) may be mentioned. Of these, Rokhia No.
6 unit was set up within 60 days of supply of mechinaries and production
was started.
The success story of DVC Mejia has
been more spectacular as unnecessarily delayed Mejia project's future became
uncertain at some time, in the case of that same Mejia 3 Unit, Production
started just after 38 days of installation of BHEL manufactured Boiler.
This was an instance not only for Mejia 2 and 3 unit, at the all India
level it did set an example. In other words, whereas the CEA's scheduled
time limit (from Hydrotest to commissioning) was 365 days, the No. 3 unit
completed commissioning within 70 days of Hydro-test.
BAKRESWAR PROJECT
This project has now become the
jewel crown in BHEL's success stories. The BHEL's contribution in meeting
the aspirations of eastern region's people, with the cooperation of concerned
groups, could hardly be compared. The completion of all works in Bakreswar
No. 1 unit before the stipulated time would remain a milestone of technological
brilliance and efficiency. The application of special 250 ton crane, dividing
the manufacturing of boiler in three parts and providing contract, limited
collection of cement and steel, managing the unskilled and skilled workers
through Anchal Panchayat, the necessary follow up action for timely supply
of equipments, and all out cooperation of the project Director PBEL were
important factors. Of the first truck projects undertaken by BHEL in Faridabad,
Kayankulum, Simadri, Bakreswar would remain and avant garde.
EXPORT BUSINESS
PDO has secured the contract of
setting up 3 Turbines of 30 MW Gas Turbine in Oman, this was the first
foreign project secured by Eastern Regional Office. Besides, the 6 Hydro-electricty
Projects with 170 MW Capacity to be installed in the neighbouring state
of Bhutan, would be completed under the supervision of Eastern Regional
Office. This Office has been active in taking part in the installation
of Thermal and Hydro-electricity Projects in Bangladesh.
Disciplined and committed workers
have been the architect in the rise and development of an organisation.
BHEL was no exception. |
