Fore Casting for Activity Cost Control For Project Management & control using only past records of cost & revenue incurred is not sufficient. Good managers should focus on future revenue, future cost & technical problems. Project Management Training & Advance Project Management Certification Budgeted Cost Budgeted cost is derived from detailed cost estimate prepared at the start of the project. Estimated Cost The estimated cost or forecast total cost in each category is the current best estimate of costs based on progress and any changes since the budget was formed. . Estimated total cost are the sum of cost to date, commitments and exposure. Cost Overruns:- Overruns in cost might be due to lower than expected productivity, higher than expected wages rates, higher than expected material cost or any other factor. Low productivity can be due to inadequate training or lack of required resource such as equipment & tools. Forecast Total...

The Project Budget For cost control of the project, the construction plan and associated cash flow estimates can provide the baseline reference for subsequent project monitoring and control. The detailed cost estimate provides baseline for the assessment of financial performance during the project. If the cost of project is within the detailed cost estimate then the project is under financial control. Overruns in cost category gives signal of problem. For control & monitoring purposes , the original detailed cost estimate is typically converted to a project budget. Expenses incurred during the course of a project are recorded in specific job cost accounts to be compared with the original cost estimates in each category. Individual job cost accounts generally represent the basic unit for cost control. Material & Labor Cost Material quantity & labor inputs within each job account is also typically retained in the project budget. With this  act...

Planned Value(PV)- Planned value refers to what the project should be worth at a particular point in the schedule. It is also referred as BCWS (Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled). Earned Value(EV)- It is the physical work completed to date and the authorized budget for that. It is also referred as BCWP(Budgeted cost of work performed). Actual cost (AC)- It is the actual amount of money spent. It is also referred as ACWP( Actual cost of work performed). Estimate at completion (EAC) - It refers to the estimated total cost of the project at completion. CPI- It is cost performance Index . CPI= EV/AC If CPI is less than 1, this means the project is over budget. BAC refers to budget at completion. It is related to EAC EAC = BAC/CPI www.ebeescorp.com ETC refers to estimate to completion. ETC = EAC-AC CV - refers to cost variance CV= EV-AC SV refers to schedule variance   SV= Ev-PV Negative cost or schedule variance means the project is behind in co...
