Satyam Computer Services develops new streamlined solution for process manufacturing companies. Satyam client Rain Commodities Ltd. cuts its annual maintenance shutdown time by 28% resulting in additional production of 15,000 tons of cement and additional revenue of over $1.5million. Management solution also applies to other industries like Chemical Process, Petroleum Refining, Steel etc.

Satyam Computer Services announced that it has developed a new and unique streamlined solution for process manufacturing companies which normally take an annual or semi-annual plant maintenance shutdown. Satyam's solution is based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC), developed by Israeli physicist Eliyahu Goldratt. The Business Value Enhancement Team of Satyam implemented a solution based on TOC's Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) to bring about these results. CCPM entails breaking two of the most commonly associated myths with Project Management:

1.             No amount of safety factored in the estimates is enough to protect against the kind of uncertainty in a project environment.

2.             Focusing on completion of each task on time is a guarantee of being able to finish a project on time.

CCPM has been proven to significantly reduce the duration of projects-the uniqueness and practicality of the CCPM methodology stems from the fact that it uses a "Systems Approach" and takes a "holistic view" rather than focusing on individual functions / departments. Using Satyam's solution, Priya Cement, the brand name of Rain Commodities Ltd. (RCL), reduced its plant shutdown time (for one plant for a single shutdown) from 18 days to 13 days, enabling production of an additional 15,000 tons of cement and $1.6 million worth of sales. In addition to the work at Priya Cement, Satyam has used this solution to reduce shutdown times by 30% at Shree Cement (a key player in North India) resulting in production of an additional 24,000 tonnes of cement and is prepared to apply this solution to other industries such as Chemical Process, Petroleum Refining and Steel.
