The planned schedule was to complete the project in 16th January Total budget of the project only civil work was estimated to be 16 crores. The sub-contractor ABM Civil Ventures who had undertaken the civil construction had made the estimate and done the scheduling. But proper project management by EVM or any other tool is absent.
This had adversely affected the progress of the work in time. Due to this, the project cannot be completed in scheduled time and is still going on III.
EVM emerged as a financial analysis specialty in United States Government programs in the s, but it has since become a significant branch of project management and cost engineering. Project tracking tools are used in the construction field. However many projects run over budget and delay in schedule, which suggests that there is something wrong in our project control system.
The Earned-Value method EVM is project control technique that provides a quantitative measure of work performance. It is considered as an advanced technique for integration of schedule and cost. Earned Value provides analysis of cost performance. This is depicted in Figure 1. Figure 1. However, unless the planned cost of the completed work is known, the construction manager cannot decide it is desirable or not. That is exactly the missing information that Earned Value provides.
Not so bad until value requires detailed measurement against the project plan. This Lastly, we need to know 7 what our cost variances have may sound complicated and cumbersome, but it is not. It is been.
This is determined by relating our earned value accom- simply the kind of data most projects have, but it may not be plished against the actual costs spent or incurred. Thus, we looked at in quite the same way. Not so good when we realize that for each dollar scope. In order to employ earned value, we must first know at all The team put the results of its earned value performance on times what the planned value is as of any point in time1.
To a display chart for presentation to the management committee, determine this we need to focus on two issues. Earned value performance results. If one has a period of project perform- performance. This project at the end of the first quarter is ance extending one full cycle, where will you likely place your behind its planned schedule, and is overrunning its costs. At the best planning — in the early periods or in the later periods?
Also, if one has a severe budget challenge, where will If the project continued at its present cost efficiency rate of the most adequate budget be distributed— in the early or late 67 cents for each dollar spent, it would need 50 percent more periods of the project?
Likely in the early periods. If it also tries to get back on the month sched- early periods, and hope for the best. Thus, the results of earned ule, it will have to add additional resources to do the same value performance measurement have been found to be most work, so the projected costs would equate to a percent reliable, even at the early periods, say 15 percent, of the lifecycle overrun.
