• No new technology • Inadequate system design • Missing self improvement & correction

• Poor technology • Inadequate equipment • Bloated and outdated maintenance
customization design intervention approach
• Weak technology • Inadequate use of Project • Heavy Inventories
improvement Management techniques • Sluggish Procurement methods
• Hamstrung cost • Engg Services dormant • Inoptimal workforce utilization
• No cost rationalization • Inadequate focus on fuel component
improvements
instruments • O&M services market lying dormant
The weak links are a result of the technology import culture from the Colonial legacy- especially as
Electricity was considered an input and not an end unlike “Space” and “Nuclear” sectors
The reason is late Indian entry to technology development arena. Affluent nations have had the
advantage of SEQUENTIAL DEVELOPMENT facilitating knowledge systems development…

Indian Entry
Technology implants in the Electricity sector have had serious fall out on development of
knowledge systems which are required for Technology Development
The effect entered even organisations set ups which do not differentiate between
knowledge work, service functions and skill work…
