BUDGET AND RISK MANAGEMENT
1.0.
Overall Project Budget
A technique called Earned Value Management (EVM) compares project performance to the project baseline (Xu et al., 2018). All project managers pursuing Project Management Professional (PMP) certification learn and memorize the earned value calculations. Their application in real life is patchy, though. According to Insight, EVM is among the "critical few" best areas of practice for keeping track of a project's progress from both a schedule and cost standpoint (Vasyunina, 2017). The binary way of thinking about projects is widespread:
· On time versus late
· Over budget versus under budget.
On the project cost, both performance evaluation elements have a significant impact (Chang et al., 2022). If our costs are lower yet we are running late, EVM provides excellent facts of the matter.
Determining Earned Value
Computing EV involves:
· The sum of the up-to-date project budget, known as the planned value (PV)
· Current costs are identical to Actual Cost (AC).
· The project budget is multiplied by the proportion of execution to determine earned value (EV).
Now that we have these numbers, we can start making some computations of:
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) = EV/PV
SPI contrasts actual and anticipated progress. Whenever the SPI value had been than 1.0, fewer tasks were completed than expected. SPI > 1.0 denotes the completion of more work than anticipated.
Determining the CPI:
CPI= AC÷EV
The CPI evaluates the worth of finished work in relation to its true cost. Its score of 1.0 denotes high costs than anticipated. A CPI of greater than one shows that costs remained lower than expected.
For the SPI and CPI, >1 is favorable while 1 is unfavorable.
Remember that;
Subtracting instead of dividing allows you to rapidly determine the difference between the project budget and the timeline. Schedule variance (SV) equals EV-PV, whereas cost variance = EV-AC. You can easily execute the subtraction operation in your head, and in this case, >0 is favorable to 0 in this situation.
Except in the case of SPI or CPI, deviation is reliant on the project's scope. Therefore, we cannot compare it across construction project or across time effectively, as the budget might have changed.
Calculating the Project EAC:
CPI = EAC ÷ Overall Budget
EAC represents the prediction aggregate cost.
In summary:
· Project is halfway to its completion,
· PV = $55,000
· AC= $45,000
The calculations are as follows:
EV=100,000 ×1/2
=$50,000
SV =EV-PV
Where EV=50,000 and PV=55,000
Therefore, SP= 50,000-55,000
=-$5000
In this case, the value of SP is -$5,000, which is unfavorable for our project because it is less than 0.
SPI = EV/PV
Thus;
SP1=50,000 ÷55,000
= $0.91
However, the SPI value is less than.

Performance Evaluation of Construction Projects by EVM Method, Using Primaver...Mohammad Lemar ZALMAİ
Abstract
Most of the construction projects are exposed to time and cost overruns due to various factors and this is a major problem. As a solution to this, the Earned Value Management (EVM) method is considered. EVM is a powerful and well-known method used in monitoring and controlling the project. EVM gives an early indication that either project is delayed or not and the project is either over budget or under budget at any particular day by tracking it. Thus, it helps to improve the management control system of a construction project, to detect and control the problems in potential risk areas and to suggest the importance and purpose of monitoring the construction work. This paper explains the main parameters of the EVM system involved in the calculation of time and cost for construction projects. In this study, the Primavera P6 software is used to deals with the
project monitoring process of a seven-storey (G+6) faculty building whose construction is in progress at Istanbul, Turkey. A comparison between the planned progress of construction activities and actual progress is performed and the analysis results are interpreted. This case study justifies the benefits of using EVM for project cash flow analysis and forecasting.
Keywords: construction cost management, construction planning, earned value management (EVM), Primavera p6, project management, project scheduling.

Cost over-runs and time over-runs are prevalent in most of the projects carried out in developing nations such as India. There may be multiple reasons for these overruns. In order to
reduce them, there should be efficient use of the construction softwares available in the market. This paper emphasises the use of these softwares to reduce these issues by the use of a scientific technique called earned value analysis. Earned Value Analysis is an industry standard method of measuring a
project’s progress at any given point of time, forecasting its completion date and final cost, analysing variances in the schedule and budget as the project proceeds.
Earned Value Management (EVM) is a technique
that forecasts the project giving an early warning of cost &
schedule. It not onely measures the project performance but also
measure the progress of the schedule. It is an effective tool to
measure cost, schedule & performance of the project. The EVA is
useful in various fields such as IT, Industries and Construction
companies etc.
The value of Earned Value Analysis (EVA) is dependent on
two key areas i.e. Precise Cost information and pragmatic
progress of project. If these two key areas are efficient then
benefit of the project will definitely get valued. This paper
summarizes the evolution, basic terminologies of Earned value
Analysis and effective use of it in the construction industries by
MS Project. There are many ways to implement EVA in the
construction project. MS Project is a tool to determine the EV
and its parameters in an efficient way with accuracy and within
time constraints.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
