The actual cost and time of the construction projects are different from planned. Cost overruns critical issues. Therefore, these highlight importance monitor control phase for project's success, So project needs to elements as time, cost, scope, in addition risks, where face more risks. Earned value management (EVM) is a technique evaluating performance, used early tracking indicate that on pl...

Multi Period–Multi Product (MPMP) production planning problems are well-known in the literature and several researches had been carried out in this area. However, designing a well organized control mechanism in terms of time– cost point of views had not been taken into considerations. In this paper, such a control mechanism is implemented successfully using earned value analysis which is well-k...

Different statistical process control (SPC) approaches were proposed over the years for project management using earned value management/ earned schedule. A detailed examination of these approaches has led us to express a need for a unified framework in which to test and compare them. The main drivers for this need were the lack of a formal definition for a state of control, the unavailability ...

The objectives of this paper are two folds. The first one is to improve the time forecasting produced from the well known Earned Value Management (EVM), using the polynomial function. The time prediction observed from the polynomial model, which is compared against that observed from the most common method for time forecasting (critical path method), is a more accurate (mean absolute percentage...

This paper presents an application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to forecast actual cost of a project based on the earned value management system (EVMS). For this purpose, some projects randomly selected based on the standard data set , and it is produced necessary progress data such as actual cost ,actual percent complete , baseline cost and percent complete for five periods of project. T...
