COMPLEX ENGINEERING ACTIVITY (PROJECT MANAGEMENT)

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT - UOL - 8TH SEMESTER
Project is defined as a unique, temporary, multidisciplinary endeavor which is undertaken to achieve set
deliverables under the constraints of time, cost, quality, safety and scope. As a group of three students you should
evaluate a major project undertaken at the global Level provided as attachment.

The aim of this CEA exercise is to apply the theoretical,

numerical and computational aspects of the practical
project clearly and concisely after due study. The data is
secondary and should be analyzed as per clear
methodology and approach. The proposed requirements
should be met completely. Data and concepts selected
from report should be reliable and relevant on which
solid analysis on the principles of Project Management
will be made. The technical details and documentation in
the form of text, figures, graphs, diagrams have been
presented in the attached report. You are required to
study and understand the entire report and present the
following concepts in your own original, condensed and
clear work report and short presentation. To be submitted before final examination.

-The Project Life Cycle Analysis should be conducted starting from the initiation stage, planning, executing,
monitoring and closing.

-Prepare a Stakeholder identification, interaction and requirement section. The roles of the stakeholders who are
working in an integrated manner should be investigated.

-Give an analysis on the External Environmental Concerns for the project given.

-Give the technical and engineering requirements of the project. What engineering product or process innovation
is being performed. What benefits will arise for the customers or end users.

-Prepare a detailed work Break Down Structure highlighting the major deliverables and then preparing the
hierarchy of work steps. The responsibility matrix should also be established along with the Organization
Breakdown structure.

-Explain the constraint parameters of the project and their tradeoff across cost, time, scope, safety, quality etc.

-Evaluate the Risk Management Process and the mechanisms to identify, assess, remove and monitor the project
risks.

- Summarize the ethical, gender, social, climate, community and safety requirements generated due to the project.
What occurrences are there and how they are being handled or planned to be handled.

-The monitoring and control of the project to see that everything is on track should be investigated. What control
mechanisms were in place and how they detected and corrected the fluctuations of the project.

-The closing stage mechanisms of any renewable energy project should be analyzed. What steps were undertaken
to close, handover, commission the selected project. What were the post transition steps and milestones?

A comprehensive, clear, concise, logical and precise report of around 20-25 pages in Times New Roman 11 Font
covering the above mentioned analysis points should be submitted. Plagiarism will be strictly monitored and
penalized towards all members of the group if occurred.
