Summary 

The case explores how Godrej achieved significant improvement in engineering management through Wrench SmartProject.

Challenges 

• The inefficient data management process. 
• Dependency on folders and emails – No control on document revisions, Data loss and accidental deleting of relevant data, Lack of easy accessibility to data. 
• Lack of Role-based and User-based access control. 
• ISO audits were being done manually with hard copies. 
• QMS was being enforced manually. 
• No integrated solution for all the above. 

Benefits of implementing SmartProject 

• Absolute traceability and control on the projects.  
• Improved Project management efficiency. 
• Engineering drawing/document management. 
• Improved cashflows due to faster payment realization.  
• Information reuse.  

Results

• 30-50% reduction in deliverable lifecycle time due to the digital information exchange in an internal review, client submission, client comments handling and re-submission. 
• 50% reduction in time taken for reporting status of deliverable for internal management and for client reporting. 
• 30% overall savings in time/cost by digitally handling all documents and drawings.
