The engineering elements for Project management include: Duration, Quality, Cost, and Risk. The four elements are concerned and related with each other; a successful management should make a good coordination among the association.

          As the EPC project contractor engaged in foreign projects since 1978, SCMEC has a rich experience in project management, which has made a good base for project performance. At the beginning, the Aluminum Smelter Project management office in Ganja complied with the engineering elements - duration, cost, and risk, established three directories, and updated in accordance with the situation; and insures the management implemented throughout the entire process. Therefore the stable technology, production safety, accident-free, excellent management for foreign affairs and good risk management and control, made the project successfully completed.

          Project management is the grand strategy, but also needs to focus on the control ability on details, and in the key engineering elements, it will take different measures according to different situations, such as at the beginning of the project, the project design units was selected by the project department faced with difficult choice: GAMI's offer at high side means increased costs, but the corresponding risk small, the construction duration can be guaranteed; while the low offer provided by other design units may have potential technical risk. So, it should consider balancing time, cost and risk, and considering that GAMI stands a leading position in the Aluminum Smelter design with the advantages in technical autonomy, stability, the controllable risk, guaranteed period can be realized, the follow-up too many unfavorable factors can also be avoided. Another example, in the period of the financial crisis, the previous site stacking materials and device processing, those questions placed in front of the project department with three selections: First, the suspension caused by the owner, the loss would be bore by him; Second, keep them under shelter to reduce corrosion caused by the sun and rain; Third, move them to warehouse and take proper management to minimize wear and tear. After making comprehensive analysis by the project department, not only look at the immediate cost, the project department sent a letter to the owner emphasizing the responsibility, took the initiative to move the goods to the warehouse safekeeping, despite an increasing in costs, the follow-up project rapidly started due to a good custody of the goods.

          Just a few samples said above which are not worth mentioning, but often the details determine success or failure.

          Aluminum Smelter Project in Ganja has been successfully completed inseparable from the risk control awareness and good operation of the project department; this will lay a more solid foundation for future engineering management.
