NTPC is a well-known power corporation serving people since 1975. The company has entered into Hydro sector and plans to enter nuclear power soon. To match its growth plans, the company needed to have uniform processes throughout the organization , irrespective of the location and area it belongs to, providing seamless integration among all its processes with one view of the company as a whole. To achieve this, NTPC started 'Project Disha – Organizational Transformation' which aimed at implementing SAP at its all locations. All major functions of NTPC such as Planning, Project Mgmt, vendor mgmt; financial accounting; invoicing etc, are done through this. The project aims at shortening cycle time, procurement lead time, realization cycle, account closure time, etc. It is also expected to provide better mgmt and mobilization of diversified workforce and online visibility of status on sales, inventory, receivables with improved search facility. To ensure that implementation works smoothly at all locations NTPC deployed MPLS-VPN through BSNL. During implementation, change mgmt and user training were the two major challenges faced. Disha led to use of standardized processes throughout NTPC with seamless integration. It has also resulted in effective use of manpower.
