(Hereinafter it is referred to as DEC). By means of analyzing of the existing problems in the management of the projects contracted by DEC,this paper is to find out the deficiencies in process of quality control, progress control and cost control. And meanwhile, measure to improvement are also taken in the paper, hopefully to help DEC improve the quality, speed up the progress and reduce the cost in their projects, so as finally to improve the efficiency and enhance the competitive ability in the market. As such, DEC can be truly transferred from the manufacturer to the contractor in the field of large-scale power plant.
