Practical Experiences of Cost/Schedule Measure Through Earned Value Management and Statistical Process Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cost and schedule measures are the most important support activities for the success of a project; it provides the basis for process improvement and project management. This paper reports practical experiences on using EVM (Earned Value Management) and SPC(Statistical Process Control) in cost/ schedule measure. The analysis of experience data indicates the distributions of CPI(Cost Performance Index) and SPI(Schedule Performance Index) index are generally following the normal distribution. And consequently, it is reasonable and effective to employ SPC in EVM.

Forecasting Final Schedule and Cost of Projects by Using Statistical and Mathematical Method
Earned value management (EVM) has prepared some methods to forecast final costs of projects. These methods were not developed since the start of formation and were gradually completed, of course with one exception that is its authenticity, they are still remained unchanged. At the present time EVM guide does not apply from schedule indices to forecast schedule for completion of project and ...
متن کاملSelf-Starting Control Chart and Post Signal Diagnostics for Monitoring Project Earned Value Management Indices
Earned value management (EVM) is a well-known approach in a project control system which uses some indices to track schedule and cost performance of a project. In this paper, a new statistical framework based on self-starting monitoring and change point estimation is proposed to monitor correlated EVM indices which are usually auto-correlated over time and non-normally distributed. Also, a new ...

Earned Duration Management (EDM) method has been developed to enhance Earned Value Management and to solve some of its problems, such as separation of measuring time and cost dimensions. By providing performance indicators, this method makes it possible for managers to accurately measure the progress of a project and to calculate the time and cost required to complete it. Nevertheless, the acce...
