business units
• Estimate annual
costs and net
present value
Estimate Active
Projects by Year
• Forecast human
resource needs
• Identify when
majority of projects
will be complete

5. Modeling Approach
Two Tier
Structure
• Logistics Modeling Template
• Portfolio Summary Model
Logistics
Template
Features
• Projects dynamically move through phases
• Accounts for new projects entering portfolio
• Allows for recycling, short circuiting, transferring
• Includes risk register for systemic risks
Logistics
Template
Outputs
• Net present value
• Mean inflated annual costs
• Mean active sites by year

16. Summary
Model is representative
• Testing indicates that model is predicting within acceptable levels
• Model is improving with each update
Factors contributing to model being representative
• 20 year historical database
• Database required significant scrubbing and adjusting to make accurate
• Logistics modeling approach
Meets owner’s needs
• Provides data needed to manage business
• Helps prevent surprises
• Establishes proper benchmark for evaluating performance
