Introduction
This report depicts the details way through which an electric car manufacturing cell can
be developed and installed by a project development team in the necessary place. Though, not
each time car industries built their own cell for the manufacturing of a company. Many global
consult firms are there those have taken the responsibility of manufacturing such electric car
batteries. It can be said that if for an accurate locate an accurate cell is being installed then the
operational issues and challenges of such cars will be completely mitigated. The customized
approaches of manufacturing companies can combine deep insights in the dynamics of both the
companies as well as markets with a closed collaboration at each level.
1. Project definition statement
The approaches also make sure that the companies will be able to gain positive profits
from the market that will properly develop and install the electric car batteries. The features and
the characteristics of these batteries are different from the other battery types. The resources will
be hired for such projects are needed to have proper knowledge and skills in electrical field so
that they could avoid all functional issues. This system will make sure that the creation of the
modern electric car vehicles with the additional energy sources will be able to design energy
efficient transport.
The value chain of the electric car cells are comprises of seven different steps such as
production of components (production f raw materials also), cell production, production module,
module assembly within the cell pack (with a control unit, cooling system) and integration of the
battery pack within the cars. However, there are mainly four different steps on which the project

manager and the project team members should focus on. The lithium ion batteries combine the
battery families which include cathode and anode materials. Though for each of the components
there are different advantages and disadvantages. In terms of safety, cost and some other
parameters these advantages and disadvantages varies. For the automation of such application
different prominent technologies are also present in terms of nickel cobalt aluminum, Lithium
nickel manganese cobalt, lithium titanate, lithium iron phosphate etc. All the inherent safety risks
can be resolved with the proper application of these technologies.
However, the tradeoffs in the battery technologies follow certain principles in terms of
specific energy, specific power, safety, life span, cost and performance. It is mandatory for the
project manager to consider all of these factors so that energy efficient cars can be manufactured.
The environment will be pollution free if such electric cars are manufacture allover.
2. Project scope of work
The scope of the project is to develop and install electric car cells to avoid performance,
cost and safety challenges. From the detail analysis of such manufacturing approach implies that
purchasers wish to break even over the higher purchase cost of electric vehicles in the past three
years. In order to install such system the financial and manpower and associate project resources
are also elaborated in this report. The other scope of the project is to allocate the project schedule
to reduce the workload from the project manager and the project team members. It is the role of
the project manager to assign the project stakeholder including the sponsor properly to avid loss.
At the project initiation phase a feasibility study should be conducted to measure that whether
the project will be beneficial or not.

Proper risk management plan and communication management plans are also needed so
that the project manager and the project team members can share their ideas and innovative
thoughts with the rest of the members. The project schedule will demonstrate the cost allocated
for each of the activity and based on the skills and knowledge the manpower will be assigned for
different activities. As per the scope of the project this is measured that the project will take 6
months for its successful accomplishment. It is the role of the project manager to complete the
assigned task within the estimated budget and time only.
