3. Lecture 6 -The Project Time and Cost
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 3

4. Learning Outcomes
•Calculating the probability that a project will be completed within a
certain time.
•Reducing the project time (crashing).
•Cost evaluation and forecasting.
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 4

5. Probabilistic Time Estimates
•Optimistic time (a)
•Time required under optimal conditions
•Pessimistic time (b)
•Time required under worst conditions
•Most likely time (m)
•Most probable length of time that will be required
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 5

6. CPM with Probabilistic Time Estimates
Step 1:Identify activities.
Step 2:Sequence activities and construct network.
Step 3:Determine the three time estimates for
each activity.
a= optimistic time
m= most likely time
b= pessimistic time
Step 4:Calculate the Expected Time (ET)for each activity.

The calculation is a weighted average of the three-time estimates, a, m, and b
using weights of 1‐4‐1, respectively.
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 6

7. CPM with Probabilistic Time Estimates
Step 5:Calculate the variance (σ
2
) for each activity.
In this case, the “6” is an assumption that the range of the distribution covers six
standard deviations (6σ) so that 99.7 percent of all cases were greater than a and
less than b;

16. Reducing Project Completion Time
•Project completion times may need to be shortenedbecause:
•Penalty.
•Need to put resources on a new project.
•Promised completion dates.•Reduced project completion time is “crashing”
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 16

17. Reducing Project Completion Time –con’t
•Crashing a project needs to balance
•Shorten a project duration
•Cost to shorten the project duration
•Crashing a project requires you to know
•Crash time of each activity
•Crash cost of each activity
Crash cost/duration = (crash cost-normal cost)/(normal time –crash time)

19. Crashing Example: Suppose the Cables By Usproject manager
wants to reduce the new product project from 41to 36weeks.
•Crashing Costs are considered to be linear
•Look to crash activities on the critical path
•Crash the least expensive activities on the critical path first
(based on cost per week)
•Crash activity Ifrom 3 weeks to 2 weeks $1000
•Crash activity Jfrom 4 weeks to 2 weeks $2400
•Crash activity Dfrom 6 weeks to 4 weeks $4000
•Recommend Crash Cost $7400

22. Estimate Activity Costs
Elements
•Labor
•Materials
•Equipment
•Facilities
•Subcontractors and consultants
•Travel
•Reserve
Good Practices
•Have the person responsible
estimate costs.
•Use historical data to inform the
current project manager.
•Be reasonable and realistic.
•Estimate near-term activities more
accurately.
•Elaborate on other costs as
additional information is known.

Estimated Costs

24. Total Budgeted Cost
•Establish a Total Budgeted
Cost TBCfor each work
package
•Determine the process
•Top-down
•Bottom-up
•If sum of initial estimates
exceeds sponsor budget,
then reduce costs and
recalculate
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 24

25. Packaging Machine Project
Aggregate Total Budgeted Cost
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 25

26. Packaging Machine Project
Develop Cumulative Budgeted Cost
•Determine budgeted cost by period
•Graph the cumulative budgeted cost
curve
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 26

27. Determine Actual Cost
•Actual Cost
•Collect data regularly for funds actually spent
•Charge to work package numbers
•Compare Actual Cost To Budgeted Cost
•Calculate cumulative actual cost
•Compare to cumulative budgeted cost
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 27

28. Packaging Machine Project
Determine Actual Cost
•End of Week 8
•Planned cost = $64,000
•Actual cost = $68,000
•Compare

29. Determine the Earned Value of Work Performed
Example Project
•Paint 10 similar rooms
•Total budgeted cost of $2,000
•Budget is $200 per room
At Day 5
•$1,000 has been spent
•3 rooms have been painted
•Earned value =
0.30 X $2,000 = $600
•Have spent $400 more than the
Earned Value
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 29

30. Packaging Machine Project
Determine the Earned Value of Work Performed
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 30
EV = % of work completed x TBC

31. Analyze Cost Performance
•Four cost-related measures
•TBC –Total Budgeted Cost
•CBC –Cumulative Budgeted Cost
•CAC –Cumulative Actual Cost
•CEV –Cumulative Earned Value
•To analyze project cost performance
•Plot CBC, CAC, and CEV curves on the same graph
•Reveal any trends toward improving or deteriorating cost performance

CBC CAC CEV

33. Cost Performance Index
•Measure of the cost efficiency with which the project is being
performed
•Cost performance index =
Cumulative earned value/Cumulative actual cost
CPI = CEV/CAC
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 33

34. Packaging Machine Project
Cost Performance Index
End of Week 8
•$64,000 was budgeted
•$68,000 was actually expended
•$54,000 was the earned value of
work actually performed
•CEV = $54,000
•CAC = $68,000
Determine CPI
•CPI = CEV/CAC
= $54,000/$68,000
= 0.79
For every $1.00 actually
expended, only $0.79 of earned
value was received.
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 34

35. Cost Variance
•Indicator of cost performance
•Difference between the cumulative earned value of the work
performed and the cumulative actual cost
•Cost variance =
Cumulative earned value –Cumulative actual cost
CV = CEV –CAC
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 35

36. Packaging Machine Project
Cost Variance
End of Week 8
•$64,000 was budgeted
•$68,000 was actually expended
•$54,000 was the earned value of
work actually performed
•CEV = $54,000
•CAC = $68,000
Determine CV
•CV = CEV –CAC
= $54,000 –$68,000
= –$14,000
The value of the work
performed through week 8 is
$14,000 less than the amount
actually expended.
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 36

37. Estimate Cost at Completion
•Forecast what the total costs will be at the completion of the project
or work package
•3 different methods
•FCAC = TBC / CPI
•FCAC = CAC + (TBC –CEV)
•FCAC = CAC + Re-estimate of remaining work
•Another method
•To Complete performance index
•TCPI = (TBC –CEV)/(TBC –CAC)
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 37

38. To complete performance index
•TCPI indicates the target cost performance index (CPI) that is needed
to complete the project at the target budget.
•To-complete-performance index is the result of dividing the
remaining budget according to the plan by the actually available
budget.
•TCPI = 1: the project can continue with the current budget
consumption rate
•TCPI < 1: based on the current cost variance, the project will be
completed at total cost lower than the budget.
•TCPI > 1: if the project continues working with the present cost
variance, it will complete at a budget overrun.

Estimate Cost at Completion
End of Week 8•$64,000 was budgeted
•$68,000 was actually expended
•$54,000 was the earned value of
work actually performed
•CEV = $54,000
•CAC = $68,000
•CPI = 0.79
•TBC = $100,000
Determine FCAC•FCAC = TBC / CPI
= $100,000/0.79 = $126,582
•FCAC = CAC + (TBC –CEV)
= $68,000 + ($100,000 –$54,000)
= $68,000 + $46,000
= $114,000
•TCPI = (TBC –CEV)/(TBC –CAC)
= ($100,000 − $54,000)/($100,000 − $68,000)
= $46,000/$32,000
= 1.44
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 39

40. Manage Cash Flow
•Ensure that cash comes in faster than it goes out
•Negotiate payment terms
•Provide a down payment
•Make equal monthly payments
•Provide frequent payments
•Avoid only one payment at end of project
•Control outflow of cash
17 March 2024 Dr. Ibrahim Eldesouky 40
