Procedure - Manhour consumption & progress measurement

Hi,

The method of calculating progress and Earned Value, using manhours, is exactly the same as for any other method. The basic equations are the same. All you are doing is changing the unit of measurement. The % complete is Actual / Actual + Remaining. Where you have to be a little careful is in the fact that the quantity of hours is likely to change, thus inducing a change to your % complete. Whereas when you use, say, m3 of excavations, the total quantity of excavation may remain static – thus in terms of “Physical” % complete there will be no change to the progress.

When using manhours, it is important to not think in terms of other physical measurement quantities, otherwise you will go bonkers. However, if your project costings have been calculated in other measurement units, then it might be easier for you continue using the same measurement.

Thank you very much for your reply. However I need the procedure write up for an engineering project wherein I can measure the progress based on Manhours.

i know the progress measurement technique but I only need the procedure write up. if u can provide me the write up I will be thanksful to you

Umerfarook,

Please forgive me if I sound a little a bit stupid or maybe haven’t understood the question - but if you know the technique, then is it not just as easy to write the procedure yourself. I don’t think it should take that long. However, if you just require the basic equations, I believe that there are number of threads in this forum that have explained them.

We ourselves do not have an easily accessible electronic copy of a document that contains those equations, so I couldn’t help.

Cheers.

I really appreciate your gesture and hope that we would have a strong communicative relation on PP, which will help both of us in our professional life.

Merci
