T his article discusses a set of integrated , performance measurement techniques that increased Northrop Grumman Corporation's software success. These techniques can enable excellent project management in the following ways: • Defining effective metrics for sizing the project and measuring progress. • Using Earned Value Management (EVM) as the key, integrating tool for control. • Defining quali...

The lack of integrated project control techniques covering both qualitative and quantitative indices is one of the most important reasons leading to unfinished projects under predetermined schedules and expected budgets. Two modern techniques proposed in project control—the critical chain method and buffer management (CCM/BM), and the earned value analysis or earned value management and earned ...

As economic pressure and competition for budget among federal agencies has increased, there has been an increasing need for more granular data and robust management information systems. This is especially true for the execution of major civilian space programs. This need has resulted in new program management requirements being implemented in an attempt to limit cost and schedule growth. In par...

Kurzfassung. Es wird ein VR-Trainingssimulator zum Erlernen von Lumbalund Aszitespunktionen vorgestellt. Dieser stellt vielseitige visuelle Hilfsmittel, sowie eine Evaluationskomponente, die dem Benutzer Auskunft über das Ergebnis seiner Punktion gibt, zur Verfügung.

The actual cost and time of the construction projects are different from planned. Cost overruns critical issues. Therefore, these highlight importance monitor control phase for project's success, So project needs to elements as time, cost, scope, in addition risks, where face more risks. Earned value management (EVM) is a technique evaluating performance, used early tracking indicate that on pl...

Digital predistortion (DPD) of a phased array requires that multiple transmit paths must be measured by feedback (FB) receiver (Rx). In this article, we propose an FB concept for DPD in time-division-duplex (TDD) arrays. We use single line to collect the waveform samples from parallel Rx. The TDD switches are used enable and disable individual paths. is calibrated comparing outputs power amplif...
