  1. PROJECT SCHEDULING PERT - Cost

  2. PERT / COST • PERT/Cost is an accounting information system that helps management gauge progress against scheduled time and cost estimates. • When discrepancies are found between the actual progress and the expected progress, corrective actions can be taken. • PERT/Cost is a project oriented system that is based on analyzing a segmented project. • Each segment is a collection of work packages.

  3. Work Package - Assumptions • Once started, a work package is performed continuously until it is finished. • The costs associated with a work package are spread evenly throughout its duration.

  4. Work Package Forecasted Cost per Time Unit Budgeted Total Cost for Work Package Expected Completion Time for Work Package = • Current Status of a Work Package includes • Value of work done to date. • Expected time remaining to complete the work package. • The value of work and the remaining time are calculated using the following data: • Work package cost per time unit. • Activity schedule obtained by PERT/CPM • Actual expenditures. • % of work package completed, p.

  5. Value of Work to Date p x [Work Package Budget] = • Expected Remaining Completion Time = • (1-p) x Original Expected Completion Time

  6. Cost Overrun/Underrun Analysis • For each work package (completed or in progress) we • calculate Cost Overrun = [Actual Expenditures to Date] - [Value of Work to Date] • Completion Time Analysis • Using the expected remaining completion time estimates, • project completion time can be revised.

  7. Corrective Actions • If a project is found to be • Behind schedule and or • Experiencing cost overruns, • Management seeks out the causes for these problems. • Correct the project completion time or cost estimates. • Reassess work package completion times and cost estimates. • Identify departments or contractors that cause delays.

  8. Possible Corrective actions, to be taken whenever needed. • Focus on uncompleted activities. • Determine whether crashing activities is desirable. • In the case of cost underrun, channel more resources to problem activities. • Reduce resource allocation to noncritical activities

  9. TOM LARKIN - Revision • Normal completion time = 36 weeks. • At the end of week 20 a progress assessment is made. • If the campaign is not on target or not within budget recommendations for corrective actions are required.

  13. Latest start time / Latest finish time • Make a backward pass through the network as follows: • Evaluate all the activities that immediately precede the finish node. • The latest finish for such an activity is LF = minimal project completion time. • The latest start for such an activity is LS = LF - activity duration. • Evaluate the LF of all the nodes for which LS of all the immediate successor has been determined. • LF = Min LS of all its immediate successors. • LS = LF - Activity duration. • Repeat this process backward until all nodes have been evaluated.
