Using your Term Project Draft as a starting point, write and submit a paper for your term project that outlines the plan for your chosen company. Your final submission should be informed by weekly class readings and discussions and include the following elements:

Your project should consist of the following elements:

• Project Charter elements:
  • Project team (including functional managers)
  • Statement of Work (including goal, scope of work, location, period of performance, deliverables schedule, standards, acceptance criteria, special requirements, type of contract)
• Gantt chart
• Supplier identification methods and results (how did you find the suppliers?)
• Vendor selection matrix
• A written contract for a good or service, informed by the scope of work, including relevant clauses
• Budget

Your paper should be double-spaced and reference your resources, such as professional journals and the like. For more details about the term project, see Company and Term Projectin the week 1 lecture. Note you will only be able to submit one document for this submission due to limitations of the system, unfortunately.

Solar panels and powerwall batteries will be installed at the Tesla Gigafactory in Texas to improve energy independence and sustainability. Under the direction of Mike Ziegenhals and funded by Tesla Inc., the project has a $50 million budget and a 12-month duration. Phases for planning, acquiring, installing, and testing are included to guarantee interoperability with current systems and adherence to strict efficiency requirements. Teams from within Tesla, outside vendors, and contractors are important stakeholders. A cost-quality-expertise analysis was conducted to pick the best-performing providers. The project seeks to complement Tesla's sustainability objectives and save substantial money.

Initial Draft of the Term Project: Installing Powerwalls and Solar Panels at the Tesla Gigafactory

Project Charter Components Installing solar panels and powerwalls at the Tesla Gigafactory is critical to achieving energy independence.

Manager of the Project: Mike Ziegenhals

Tesla Inc. is the project sponsor.

1. The stakeholders and project team Internal Parties Affected:

Project managers oversee project completion and ensure that budgets and deadlines are met. The engineering team plans the arrangement and fusion of Powerwall batteries and solar panels. The procurement team is in charge of ordering and shipping Powerwalls, solar panels, and other equipment. Operations Team: Guarantees uninterrupted factory operations throughout the installation.

The finance team is in charge of financial reporting and the project budget. The Sustainability Team ensures the project's alignment with Tesla's sustainability objectives. Outside Parties Involved:

Suppliers: Businesses that offer installation services, Powerwall batteries, and solar panels. Contractors are the installation teams in charge of installing Powerwalls and solar panels. Regulatory Authorities: Municipal organizations that grant the required licenses and authorization.

2. Work Statement (SOW) Objective:As part of Tesla's fundamental sustainability objectives, installing solar panels and Powerwall batteries at the new Gigafactory is a big step toward achieving energy independence and lowering our carbon footprint.

Work's Scope:

Goal:Install and include Powerwall batteries and a solar power generating system. The Tesla Gigafactory (perhaps in Texas, USA) is the location. Performance Period: Twelve months from project start to complete operational status.

$50 million is the budget. Timetable of Deliverables:

Phase of Planning (Months 1-3):

Feasibility analyses and site evaluations. Timelines and project plans in detail. We are securing approvals and permits. Phase of Procurement (Months 4-5):

Acquisition of apparatus. Hire out installation assistance. Phase of Installation (Months 6-10):

Powerwalls and solar panels installed. Monitoring infrastructure installed. Phases 11 and 12 of testing and commissioning:

Employee training and system testing. I have attained a complete operating state. Criteria:

Every component needs to adhere to Tesla's strict environmental and efficiency guidelines. Installation needs to abide by federal and local laws. Acceptance Standards:

Integration of the solar power system with the Gigafactory's current infrastructure was completed successfully. In testing, the system runs with at least 95% efficiency. Timely and within budget completion. Particular Conditions:

It was scheduled in a way that minimizes interference with production activities. Solutions for backup power while the installation is underway.

Type of Contract: Performance-based contract with a fixed price.
