= RM 500,00
2) PV : 40% X RM 500,000
= RM 200, 000
3) EV : 45% X RM 500,000
= RM 225,000
5) CV : EV – AC
6) SV : EV – PV
: RM 225,000 – RM 200,000
= RM 25,000
7) CPI : EV/AC
: RM 225,000 / RM 250,000
8) SPI : EV/PV
: RM 225,000 / RM 200,000
= RM 521,604.938
: RM 500,000 – RM 521,604.938
Azhari have been tasked by his manager to monitor the installation of 200 In-Flight Entertainment
(IFE) for 5 aircrafts. The project’s approved budget is RM500,000 and the approved schedule is 14
weeks. After 8 weeks, he has 110 of IFE to be completed and the present spending of the project is
RM 250,000.
As one of the top managements in the company, are you happy with the progress of the project?
Why?
Before making my decision, let’s do the calculation regarding this project which is shown below
2) PV : 57.14% X RM 500,00
= RM 285,700
3) EV : 89% X RM 500,000
= RM 445,000
5) CV : EV – AC
: RM 445,000 – RM 250, 00
6) SV : EV – PV
: RM 445,000 – RM 285,700
= RM 159,300
7) CPI : EV/AC
: RM 445,000 / RM 250,000
8) SPI : EV/PV
: RM 500,00 / 1.78
= RM 280,898.876
: RM 280,898.876 – RM 250,000
= RM 30,898.876
: RM 500,000 – RM 280,898.876
= RM 219,101.124
From this calculation, as one of the top management I am happy with project progress. We can see
that both Cost Variance and Cost Performance Index shown is under planned cost which basically
mean that the project run by using minimum cost. Not only that, the Schedule Performance Index
shown as ahead of schedule as the result. Therefore, the project can be completed before the
estimated duration. The extra budgets and time can be used for others project.
QUESTION 3:
After five years working, you have been appointed as the Program Manager to manage the
construction of a new KLIA3 terminal. There are five project managers reporting directly to you with
several projects assigned to each of project manager. Each project manager assigned part of the
whole project scope to be implemented independently. The total duration approved to complete all
works is 2 years and the total approved budget is RM10,000,000. At the end of the first year, you
have to ensure that the budget has been utilised RM6,000,000 worth of work however, the project is
only 50% complete. Actual costs reported by each project manager for the first year is as follows:
In your opinion, does the project costs and duration is managed properly. As a program manager,
will you pursue the project or conclude the project at the point of review?
Before I give my opinion on this project, let’s take a look at the calculation for this project as shown
below
1) BAC : RM 10,000,000
2) PV : RM6,000,000
3) EV : 50% X RM 10,000,00
= RM 5,000,000
4) AC : RM 4,600,000
5) CV : EV – AC
: RM 5,000,00 – RM 6,000,000
= -RM 1,000,000
7) CPI : EV/AC
: RM 5,000,000 / RM 4,600,000
8) SPI : EV/PV
: RM 5,000,000 / RM 6,000,000
9) EAC : BAC/CPI
: RM 10,000,000 / 1.087
= RM 9,199,632.015
: RM 9,199,632.015 – RM 4,600,000
= RM 4,599,632.015
: RM 10,000,000 – RM 9,199,632.015
= RM 800,367.985
Based on the calculation, my opinion for this project, the project cost is being managed well as the
Actual Cost for the first year which is within the Planned Value which is RM 6,000,000 at the end of
the first year. Therefore the project has extra of RM 1,400,000 that can be brought to second year of
the project. As for the Schedule Performance Index shows that the project is Behind Schedule. As a
project manager, I will try to pursue the project as the project still has chances to complete on given
estimated duration. Besides that, the additional budget that has been brought from first year can be
used to ease and settle any circumstances to complete the project within the given duration.
