BANGALORE (Metro Rail News):  The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) plans to update both its In-house Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System and Project Management System (PMS) in order to follow its projects continuously. Bids for the same project will be floated soon.

T.V Mohandas Pai, the chairman of Manipal Global Education criticized the delay in finishing the Bangaluru Metro projects last month and blamed it on improper project management.  “The City was lagging behind by 10 years in the progress it should have made in its Metro Rail projects. PMS is desperately needed as it is a project with Rs 50,000 cr investment,” he added. Metro projects have also received a lot of flak for often missing deadlines for both completed and ongoing projects.

General Manager (GM), Information Technology, BMRCL, Divya Hosur stated that, “We have PMS in place now only during the execution stage of a project. We will be expanding our system to the pre-planning as well as planning stages henceforth. A separate dashboard will be launched which will have continuous updates along with timelines on every project,” she said. The expenditure for all projects would also be tracked fastidiously. “This would definitely bring in much improvement in completion of our projects,” the GM added.

In addition, BMRCL will redesign its internal ERP to make it more durable and dynamic. It will cover every organization-related topic such as human resources management, financial management and information management which will improve departmental collaboration. Additionally, it would enable the administration to utilize its inventory and rolling stock more effectively.

Hosur continued, “Grading of vendors working on various projects will also be monitored using a Vendor Management System which would help in optimizing the procurement processes and better decision making with easily available real-time data.
