Uninterrupted Power
Supply (UPS) Frame
Work
PROJECT MANAGEMENT CAPSTONE C
(PROJ6016)

Overview of the Organisation
• The assignment represents identification as well as
planning for procurement of the Uninterrupted Power
Supply system.
• Company chosen is As-Sabuur Nigeria Limited.
• The objective is to install generators in organisations and
various houses.

Overview of the Organisation
• Houses in Nigeria face numerous issues in relation to
power outages.
• Project plan is designed by the project manager.
• Installation of generator systems in houses would prove
highly beneficial because the organization would be able
to get more financial returns.
• It would allow the company to pay the labours with their
desired wages.

Identification of a Problem and
Suggested Solutions
• Chosen place does not cover under 24 hours electric
supply range.
• The place faced issues due to various power outages.
• People face numerous issues in their regular work.

Identification of a Problem and
Suggested Solutions
• Help them in installing the two units of generator sets in
the house.
• Viable solution would be helpful for the house owner in
solving the issues.
• Nigeria Limited to help them in installing the generators

Identification of a Problem and
Suggested Solutions
• Stakeholders within the project are the project manager,
house owner, and site project lead.
• Project manager designs the project schedule.
• Design the plan for installing work on the generator,
prepare a financial plan.

Project Plan and Budget
• Incur various processes that would be important for the
success of the project.
• The project would need the project manager who is responsible
for knowing the requirements.
• The project will be initiated by performing a particular
negotiation work

Project Plan and Budget
• Signing of documents by both parties will provide an
assurance that would be initiated by the project.
• After that the procurement of the generators would be
done.
• After the installation phase is done, monitoring as well as
control is done.

The Risks and Mitigation
• Documents might not be prepared within the needed time.
• There might be some defects detected after installation.
• The plan must be designed within exact time.
• Generator must be tested before it is installed.

Current Skills to be tested
• Strong form of mechanical and electrical aptitude skills.
• Good form of leadership and communication skills.
• Project manager must be able to carry out duties along
with a sense of urgency.
• Ability to work in a paced and dynamic environment

Current Skills to be tested
• Technical knowledge on diesel engine, electric power
generation, distribution of power which has the sets of
engine generation, installation, assembly, repair,
commissioning, system integration design, paralleling,
operation, transfer and switch gear switches.
• One more part of the knowledge that would be required is
based on fuel systems, enclosures, exhaust systems and
ancillary equipment.

Current Skills to be tested
• Project manager must have the ability to interpret various
forms of instructions.
• Understand specifications that would include blueprints.
• Negotiation skills and organizational skills would be
highly needed
