International Project Management: Solar Plant Development Project

This document presents a project management plan for the Alternative Technology Association Company's solar plant development project in East Timor. It includes an executive summary, project description, and detailed plans for risk management, contracting, project control, occupational health and safety, quality assurance, document control, relationship management, knowledge management, project review, organizational structure, and project close-out. The plan identifies potential risks and mitigation strategies, outlines construction and operational activities with timelines, and emphasizes the importance of environmental standards and government policy compliance for successful project deployment. The document also highlights the need for quality equipment, ethical conduct, and effective communication throughout the project lifecycle. Desklib provides access to this and other student-contributed assignments to aid in your studies.

1. Introduction:
Executive Summary
The purpose of this paper is to develop a project proposal for the ATA Company to develop a
solar plant on the East Timor project location. The case study helps in studying of the
positive and negative side of the proposed project. The analysis of the risks helps in the
development of the project without any distraction from the local people of the community
area and the government agencies.
Project Description
The Alternative Technology Association Company is the small non-government organization
which has started its first solar project in 2000. The project owner wants to develop a project
execution plan framework for improving the business tactics of the plant. The purpose of this
paper is to develop a project execution plan for outlining it to the project owner.

Occupational, Health, safety, and Environmental Plan
 Good Resources and equipment should be used
 Renovation of old equipment and technology
 Training and development program for the staff
 Proper dumping mechanism for hazardous waste
 Earthing of the whole system to overcome the problem of electric shock
 Fire safety mechanism
Quality assurance Plan
The construction of the solar plant should provide the high level of reliability structure of the
plant to generate electricity. The selection of the equipment should be done on the basis of
their quality (Taylor, 2010). The operational capability of the project should be capable of
satisfying the requirement of the project owner. The solar project plan should achieve the
quality of standards in producing electricity (Gomez, 2016).
Document control and information management plan
The document of the project completion report should have the details of project justification,
key features of the proposed project, designing of the construction program, selection of the
technology, standardization of the quality of the resources and equipment, balancing the

system, training and development program, designing of the control system, project
standards, specification of the material used, and evaluation of the testing plan (Clean energy
technology centre, 2017).
Relationship management plan
 Arrangement of meetings with project sponsors and other stakeholders periodically
(Morris, 2013)
 Review of the action plan
 Review of government policies
 Management of communication flow among the team members

3. Conclusion
The project plan helps in identifying the risk areas concern with the project deployment plan
and provides successful remedies to establish the solar plant successfully on the site location.
The environmental values and standard should be focused so that the problem of ecological
balance does not occur (Passenheim, 2015). The selection of the equipment should be done
on the basis of their quality. The study of the government policies helps in resolving the legal
and political issues which exist with the implementation schedule of the project.
