Application of Earned Value Based Metrics to Enhance the Performance Measurement of Engineering Project Management

Öz

Earned value management (EVM) includes cost control and considers resource planning and management techniques for schedule and technical performance. The present study aims to show the theoretical and practical dimension of performance measurement on a small-scale construction project using the earned value methodology, and thereby contribute to its wider practical application. In addition, the usage of the correlation between the schedule performance index and cost performance index and the meaning of indices such as budgeted cost of work scheduled, budget cost of work performed, and the actual cost of work performed is illustrated in detail to analyze the performance of EVM application in the project management.

Mühendislik Proje Yönetiminin Performans Ölçümünü Geliştirmek İçin Kazanılan Değer Esasına Dayalı Ölçütlerin Uygulanması

Öz

Kazanılmış değer yönetimi (KDY) projelerin maliyet kontrolü, zaman planlaması ve teknik performansı için kaynak planlaması ve yönetim tekniklerini içermektedir. Bu çalışma, kazanılmış değer yöntemi metodolojisini kullanarak küçük ölçekli bir inşaat projesinde performans ölçümünün teorik ve pratik boyutunu göstermeyi ve böylece daha geniş bir pratik uygulamaya katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca, zaman performans indeksi ile maliyet performans endeksi arasındaki ilişkinin kullanımı ve planlanan işin bütçelenmiş maliyeti, gerçekleştirilen işin bütçe maliyeti gibi endekslerin anlamı, proje yönetiminde KDY uygulaması ile proje performansının analiz edilmesinde ayrıntılı olarak gösterilmektedir.
