ERP in DTLP.K. MallikCompany Secretary &GM (HR)INTRODUCTIONIn the later part of 2009,the idea of ERP wasconceived to be started inDTL. But it was only in thebeginning of 2010 thatt h e i m p l e m e n t a t i o np r o c e s s c o u l d b estepped up. Unlike someother Delhi Governmentorganizations, its journey in DTL was smooth,steady and uninterrupted. As planned, the ERPproject went live on 8th November, 2010 withmaximum number of eight modules. It was atransmission specific SAP programme. ManyOrganizations choose to implement ERPmodules in phases. However in our case, theCompany took a bold step by choosing suchlarge number of modules for implementation atone go. The modules covered were in almost allareas of operations of the company includingProject, Maintenance, Materials Management,Finance, Human Resources and BusinessIntelligence.People then were wondering whether such a bigproject with wide coverage of activities would atall be successful. But with a dedicated core teamunder the measured direction and able guidanceof the management, the project could achievesuccessful operation on schedule time whichitself is a landmark achievement.INITIAL RESISTANCEInitially the project implementation receivedlukewarm resistance from some quarters. Largelydue to ignorance of its use and benefits and littledue to the general human tendency i.e. resistanceto any change. The people who were resistingwere managed by way of listening to their viewpoints and making their views issue based ratherthan a personality based. They were embraced bymanagement rather than being avoided. Theywere indulged more and more in the ERP insteadof being separated from it. All the departmentsinvariably were involved in the process. A series ofChange Management Programmes wereconducted. Slowly and gradually, the resistancedisappeared. People realized that ERPintroduces organizational reform, both processreform and system reform. It is aimed at bringinglong-term benefits for the organization and theorganization should continuously strive tobringing change instead of resisting to changes.THE JOURNEY SO FARAfter go-live in November 2010, the project tookalmost six months for stabilization in place ofthree months stabilization period as was originallyenvisaged in the scheme. During this periodsome incomplete processes of some moduleswere fully completed. Full stabilization takes longtime. It is observed from companies like NTPC, OilIndia Ltd and others that stabilization in ERPimplementation normally takes three to four5

years. Other power companies are also takinglong time to get the ERP fully stabilized. The morethe people are involved in it, the faster would bethe stabilization and the larger would be thebenefits. The going requires patience andperseverance.Recently we have taken the ERP support servicesfor another contract period to stabilize the system.This is just like the second phase of stabilization.We should make the best use of it. Eachdepartment should work maximum with thesystem to make the most use of the support. Weshould learn more about the use of thetechnology through the support rather than usingthe support as the labour component.Since technical knowledge is involved; thelearning process for non-technical people is a bitslower. Once the benchmark knowledge isacquired, the operations gets smooth andbenefits for the users stem manifold.If ERP is the integration of different processes,activities, departments, locations, then it may besaid that we have so far integrated all theprocesses, departments, locations and onlysome of our activities through ERP well and a lotmore is required to be done on the activities frontfor making it fully integrated.One important aspect we did focus in is thesystem improvement of the company coveringalmost all important functional areas. ERP relatedvital systems like creation of Fixed Assets Master,Material Codification, Document ManagementSystem, Inter connectivity with all offices and allsubstations across Delhi were developed.Although Delegation of Powers in the companywas codified earlier, it was required to besynchronized and tuned with ERP system. Manyorganizations implement different ERP Modulesin phases. Accordingly they develop the relatedsystems only before implementation. But in ourcase, the management decided to implementmaximum modules at a time. Therefore, lot manymodule related systems were required to bedeveloped. It was a challenging task, however theERP core team geared up and all out efforts wereput in. As a result, all the required systems weredeveloped in time. Today all the processes with allthe related systems are in place. All that isrequired is the extensive use and constantupdating of the systems.Although Maharashtra Transco very closelyfollowed DTL in ERP implementation, it was DTLonly as the first transmission company in thecountry, to implement a very comprehensive ERPpackage successfully.The ERP project of the Company received specialrecognition from SAP amongst the PSUs for themost promising industry solution implementationaward in 2012.BENEFITS OF ERPNow the use of ERP side by side its popularity isgradually spreading out. In the very first fewmonths of its implementation, some majorcompany procedural errors that existed in legacysystem and having significant financial impactwere noticed and rectified also. The mostimportant benefit of ERP is updations of accountsof the company, timely audit & improvement inregulatory & legal compliance of managementsystem.Plant maintenance module of ERP will helpmaintain the transmission system verysystematically. Maintenance plan helps to createpreventive maintenance schedule and that can bemonitored online. Centralized Procurement6

System is a very highly researched anddeveloped system that has been introduced.Appropriate determination of Economic OrderQuantity and ABC analysis through system hasbeen designed. The module when fullyoperational, will immensely contribute to valueaddition. Availability of desired informationthrough Business Intelligence module to topmanagement in time will facilitate well informeddecision making.MYTHS AND REALITIESEveryone should endeavor to run the systemrather than thinking that those in charge of ERPshould help run it. As in fact the persons in chargeof it cannot help technically to run the ERP withoutthe services of the core team members of theconcerned departments. ERP is of the companyas a whole with responsibility of all thedepartments. ERP section consists of the peopleselected from all the departments and is workingas a facilitator only. Responsibility to run therespective departments is of the people workingin it. Initially, members selected from differentdepartments were put together as a core team.The objective was to give them comprehensivetraining from a centralized location. After thetraining was over, half of the core team memberswere sent back to the respective departments torun the ERP of their departments. After the ERPgets fully stabilized, may be all the core teammembers will be required to work in theirrespective departments. By the time everybodywould be ERP literate. ERP department wouldultimately be a very small one comprising peopleto make administration, co-ordination work and toprovide IT services in general only.7

The more you are involved in ERP, the more youlearn and the more you contribute. Originallywhen we started, the benefits we visualized fromERP were a very few, but in due course of timeafter seeing the full processes of implementationand interacting with several people in differentorganizations in the same area, today we observethat this is a rare technology which isindispensable to every organization, small orlarge, private or public sector. It is must for aprogressive and forward looking company likewhat a Note pad or Laptop means today to everyeducated person. The applications andoperations of ERP are vast.ERP PERSPECTIVESERP will bring organizational transformation. Itnot only helps people work faster, it also helpspeople to work well. It enhances corporate imageand improves corporate culture. It is a tool forvalue addition.ERP is a technology which brings discipline to theorganization. Because, in ERP what we do is thatwe bring and establish a set of procedures orprinciples for the company. And everybody in theorganization will be asked to work as per theestablished procedures. No one howevertalented, be allowed to do things his or her ownway but everyone should work as per Company'srules.Broad elements of Corporate Governance liketransparency, statutory compliances, anddisclosures are facilitated in the organization byERP. System operated activity ensurestransparency. Real time operations updatetransactions, make accounts on-line and facilitatetimely capturing of data and information whichenable statutory compliances and disclosures.ERP is not a luxury now; it is a necessity forattaining sustainable competitiveness andgrowth. For success in business three things arerequired- class, strategy and ethics. ERP as a toolhelps achieve these three well.CONCLUSIONWe are in an era of profound change. Businessstructure, strategies and technologies arechanging very fast. For bringing competitivestrength, we need to transform our businesscontinuously and use the latest technology.DTL as a corporate entity has brought inremarkable structural as well as organizationaltransformation over the years. Number of systemimprovement exercises have been undertaken. Ithas been constantly using for a long the state ofthe art technology in its business system.Implementation of ERP as a soft technology haswell begun. The journey so far is continuous andencouraging. Some recognition and milestoneshave been achieved in this regard. More vigorous,collective and team efforts need to be made forachieving better results.8

Psychology of SuccessIt is a common belief thatif you attain success inlife all your problems willbe solved. But contraryto this success comeswith its own set ofproblems, the best wayto deal with the problemsMadhu Malti VidehPROis to have a set of lifeskills in place. Whether you can sustain success isdetermined by the way you act towards othersand handle yourself. Acquiring life skillsempowers you, without these skills you will windup being ordinary at basis. With the life skills thereis no telling how you would get. Success isdefined in different ways by different people. Forsome it is how much money they make, for othersit is career satisfaction, for very few it is the feeling,being able to help others.Define Success for yourselfDo we love what we do?It is also commonly seen whatever is hard ordifficult to do initially is much easier when you putextra amount of effort, enthusiasm andexcitement into your work. Because you mayhave all the talent of the world but you may not besuccessful beyond your talent if it is not fueled bythe passion for your work that will sustain you overthe course of your career. But there are somebasic principles that form the foundation ofpersonal and business success. You can goahead on the path of the success by examiningand putting into practice these principles.Build Self EsteemSelf esteem is trusting beyond ability toreach your goal which is based on your innerstrength. Success is not sustained without feelinggood about yourself both personally andprofessionally.Have your own definition of success do notdepend on others. What is good for somebodyelse may not be right for you. Because for differentpeople success is different we may say definingsuccess is a very personal thing.How do we define success?Real success is thought of as coming togetherwith all variety of elements that make a personmulti dimensional. A disciplined life is the basis ofsuccess, as the most successful people liveaccording to disciplined habits they have learntfrom parents, teachers, family, friends, books,associates etc. who they admire. It is also seenthat common characteristic shared by mostsuccessful people is that they love what they do.9

VisualizeImagine yourself as a person of competence andmaturity. The more you visualize yourself like thatthe more easily possibilities in your life will turninto realities.Build your StrengthWhatever field you are good in, practice doingthat which will help you maintain a positive selfimage and over a period of time you will specializein that field. Then there will be no failure, everytime you do it you will succeed.Be Kind to YourselfAny negative thoughts which come up in yourmind put a stop to them. If you make a mistakeassure yourself that it is OK and it will be donebetter next time. Because when you will do it forthe second time you will remember your mistakesand therefore they will not be repeated again withthe result you will succeed.Practice New BehaviorAs creating success is a skill, help yourself todevelop it by practicing new behaviors withconfidence.Keep your personal life separate fromyour workThis can be done through compartmentalization,make imaginary two file cabinets in your mind,one is labeled personal and other professional.When you leave office lock the professional filecabinet and open the personal file cabinet whenyou enter home. Storing things away in thedifferent compartment of the mind definitelyworks.Keep your energy upExercise regularly, eat a good nutritious diet andget enough rest to keep your body fit. Secondlytake a break from work, spend time with familyand friends, and go out on a holiday to refuel andrecharge yourself. Because success meanshaving a clear head, a fit body and the ability torefuel and recharge.Respect OthersMake it a routine to relate to every one you knowwith a cautious feeling of respect. Good mannersmust be exercised with others i.e. use of wordslike please, thank you and excuse me.Interruption should be avoided to the maximum.As your awareness does the kind of respect willbecome a way of life and the act of respectingothers will be a good gift for you. When you treatpeople well they will definitely respect you andtheir respect will in turn build that precious selfesteem.Last but not the least is dedicate yourself tobecome a honest and trustworthy individual and ifa person follows the above he will not have to runafter success, success will come to him on itsown, its an open secret.10

Guidelines for availing treatment underemergency medical conditionsIt has been observed that whenever a medicalemergency arises, especially during time whendispensary is closed, DTL beneficiaries tend torush to the nearest panel hospital. It is tendencyon the part of hospitals to admit all such caseswhich come at odd hours. Our beneficiaries are inno position to deny admission, even if theemergency can be managed with simpletreatment in form of injections/minor procedures.Beneficiaries approach opted dispensary andCMO office on next working day, and since patientis already admitted, referral is granted foradmission. Unwarranted admissions are not onlya financial burden on DTL, our patients andattendants also face risk of contracting hospitalacquired infections. Routine life of whole family isdisturbed in case a member of family is admitted.To avail a proper advice in case of medicalemergencies, beneficiaries are advised that if thetime and condition of the patient permits, theyshould first try to contact DTL doctors beforerushing to panel hospitals. Even if they arealready in hospital, they should request theattending doctor of the hospital to apprise DTLdoctor regarding condition of the patient.
