Stephen, I work in manufacturing engineering and management. I’ve worked on numerous greenfield and brownfield launches in many industry sectors in many countries, including India.
The list you make is actually good. And to a layperson it can look kinda scary, complicated, perhaps even impossible !
But in industry, it’s just normal business. That’s what companies do. All the time.
TVS is a large, experienced, cash rich organisation, so to them this should be even more like ‘normal business’.
It’s the way that Nortons progress has had the appearance of a battle… a trench warfare battle in fact… with SO many announcements that failed to deliver and due dates missed etc. that both surprises and disappoints me.
Seriously, and without wishing to belittle the work involved (becasue I know that very well) this stuff ain’t rocket science.
