"On behalf of " means that someone does it for someone else, or for a larger group that they are part of.
"On the part of" and "on his/her/their part" means "by" or "from".
Consider:
"She's here to accept the reward on behalf of [for; in place of] her husband, who couldn't make it".
"On behalf of [speaking for everyone in] the organizing committee, we wish you an exciting evening.
"This plan should improve healthcare for everyone, but requires some sacrifices on the part of [by/from] the richest taxpayers".
"This is the result of a huge amount of work on her part [by her].

I think it should be 'on the behalf of' than 'on the part of'.

I think second part has error and management is always good. There is no good or bad management.
