Earned value management is a project management technique for measuring project performance and progress. It has the ability to combine measurements of the project management triangle:
Scope
Schedule, and
Costs
In a single integrated system, Earned Value Management is able to provide accurate forecasts of project performance problems, which is an important contribution for project management.
Early EVM research showed that the areas of planning and control are significantly impacted by its use; and similarly, using the methodology improves both scope definition as well as the analysis of overall project performance. More recent research studies have shown that the principles of EVM are positive predictors of project success.[1] Popularity of EVM has grown in recent years beyond government contracting, in which sector its importance continues to rise[2] (e.g., recent new DFARS rules[3]), in part because EVM can also surface in and help substantiate contract disputes.[4]
Essential features of any EVM implementation include
a project plan that identifies work to be accomplished,
a valuation of planned work, called Planned Value (PV) or Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS), and
pre-defined “earning rules” (also called metrics) to quantify the accomplishment of work, called Earned Value (EV) or Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP).
EVM implementations for large or complex projects include many more features, such as indicators and forecasts of cost performance (over budget or under budget) and schedule performance (behind schedule or ahead of schedule). However, the most basic requirement of an EVM system is that it quantifies progress using PV and EV

The slide on Earned Value Management focuses on explaining the concepts in a simpler approach. The slides shows about how a project manager can use the Earned value concepts to depict his project progress, variance on the key performance measurement baseline. Project forecasting is been discussed separately with examples.
We are sure that the slides posted above, it would help potential as well as experienced PMs to gain a good insight into the EVM concepts

The concepts and processes on how to perform project cost management according to PMBOK Guide 6th edition. You'll find key concepts and terms, plan cost management, estimate costs, determine budget, and control cost.
This webinar was presented by Stephen Jones, Chair of the APM Planning, Monitoring and Control SIG and Simon Taylor, Vice-Chair of the same SIG on Thursday 11th December 2014.
Earned value management is a project control process based on a structured approach to planning, cost collection and performance measurement.
Earned value helps us manage a project by:
providing data to enable objective measurement of project status;
providing a basis for estimating final cost;
predicting when the project will be complete;
supporting the effective management of resources;
providing a means of managing and controlling change.
Earned value provides information which enables effective decision making by knowing:
what has been achieved of the plan;
what it has cost to achieve the planned work;
if the work achieved is costing more or less than was planned;
if the project is ahead of or behind the planned schedule.
Good planning leads to good project execution and good management information.

Earned Value AnalysisTracking Project ProgressWh.docxsagarlesley
Earned Value Analysis
Tracking Project Progress
What Is Earned Value?The dollar amount you planned to spend for the work actually completed
Earned Value is the budgeted cost of the work that has actually been performed/completed
Earned Value = Budgeted Cost of the Work Performed (BCWP)
What Is Earned Value Analysis (EVA)?
EVA enables the project progress to be tracked in terms of:
The work that has actually been completed
--- Compared To ---
The work that was scheduled to be completed
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the project team to know:If the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
How far the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
If the project is over or under budget
How much the project is over or under budget
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the team to address the project’s triple constraints earlier rather than later Scope – re-prioritize/reduce requirements
--- and/or ---
Schedule – adjust the timeline
--- and/or ---
Cost – request additional funding
The Components of Earned Value Analysis WBS – Work Breakdown StructureIdentifies products to be delivered by the project Products or sub-products should be broken down to what can be completed in 80 hours (“80-hour rule”), when applicable
Provides the basis for Distinct products or sub-products – which help to provideValid estimates – which enableTracking earned value / project progress
The Components of Earned Value Analysis Earned Value (EV) ---- or BCWPThe budgeted cost of the work actually performed How much work was actually completed
Planned Value (PV) ---- or BCWSThe budgeted cost of the work scheduled to be performed How much work should have been completed
Actual Cost (AC) ------- or ACWPThe actual cost of the work performedHow much money has been actually spent
The Components of Earned Value AnalysisBudget at Completion (BAC)Dollar amount originally budgeted to complete the project
Estimate at Completion (EAC)Estimate of dollar amount needed to complete the project
Variance at Completion (VAC)Estimate of the dollar amount projected above or below budget
Schedule at Completion (SAC)Projection of the time needed to complete the project
The Components of Earned Value Analysis
Schedule Variance (SV)The work completed vs. the work planned to be completed
SV = (Earned Value – Planned Value)
Tells us if the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
Negative value means the project is behind schedule
The Components of Earned ValueSchedule Performance Index (SPI)Utilized to forecast how long it will take to complete the project
SPI = (Earned Value / Planned Value)
Tells us if the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
Less than 1.00 means the project is behind schedule
The Components of Earned Value
Cost Variance (CV)What we planned to spend on the work completed vs. what was actually spent on the work completed
CV = (Earned Value – Actual Cost)

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
