Earned Value Management (EVM) Efficiency Notes – Project Controls Series 1 What It Is Why You Need It A project management technique that EVM is the industry standard method of measures project performance and progress tracking project progress on capital by combining scope, schedule and costs into a projects. It improves communication, reduces single integrated system of monitoring and project risk, provides better forecasting, better reporting. progress tracking and better project visibility. What You Need 1. A Project Plan 4. Method to track work execution on Activities (schedule, scope, costs) Actual % Complete Actual Costs Actual Hours Spent Actual Start / Finish 2. What you plan to spend and what you expect to have done for the $$$ spent 5. Formulas to calculate EV, CV and SV X Activities Done by Y Date will cost $MM See back of page 3. Metrics to quantify work % complete 6. Reports on $ Expenditure vs. Time X Activities of equal effort or weighted Planned, Actual, Earned, Variances Reading an S-Curve Report Data Date When is this project data as of? Planned Value > Earned Value We are behind schedule Actual Cost > Earned Value We are over budget VAC = BAC – EAC (Negative Value) How far over budget do we expect to be? Estimated Complete Date vs. Planned Complete Date When do we expect to finish?

(-) = over (+) = under Cost Variance % CV% = (CV) / (EV) CV% How far over or under budget expressed as a % (-%) = over (+%) = under Schedule Variance SV = EV – PV SV How far ahead or behind schedule am I? (-) = behind (+) = ahead Schedule Variance % SV% = (SV) / (PV) SV% How far ahead or behind schedule expressed as a % (-%) = behind (+%) = ahead Variance At Completion VAC VAC = BAC – EAC Variance of total actual cost and expected cost Performance Indices CPI = (EV) / (AC) Cost Performance Index > 1 typically good (cost < plan) CPI Ratio of planned spend on what’s actually done to what’s < 1 bad (cost > plan) actually spent for the work delivered by reporting date = 1 good (cost = plan) SPI = (EV) / (PV) Schedule Performance Index > 1 typically good (ahead vs. plan) SPI Ratio of planned spend on what’s actually done to planned < 1 bad (behind vs. plan) spend on what you planned to have done by reporting date = 1 good (on plan) Forecasts Estimate At Completion EAC = AC + ((BAC – EV) / CPI)) (typical) EAC Expected TOTAL cost for 100% complete] Atypical - assumes similar variances seen will not occur in future EAC = AC + (BAC – EV) (atypical) Estimate to Complete ETC ETC = EAC - AC Expected cost to finish REMAINING work Get smart forms, reports and processes on your tablet. www.industrialaudit.com/efficiency-notes .
