Mid-India Construction Private Company Limited (MICC) was awarded a refurbishing project for INR30 million from the National Institute of Management. The project had to be completed in eight months. MICC’s project manager observed the dismal pace of work execution and the limited resource deployment on-site in the first monthly review meeting for the project. This situation warranted the manager’s immediate attention to acquire more resources and to find ways to fast-track the project. Given the nature of the project site and the project work, MICC began to explore the possibility of running parallel work-fronts to expedite the project while considering various financial and operational implications.
