Project Cost Management

l          專案成本管理目標,就是於預算內完成專案工作。流程僅有三項相對而言,算是比較不複雜的一個知識領域卻是專案管理者最大的挑戰。

n          To complete project within the approved budget

n          Processes include

1.          Cost Estimating

2.          Cost Budgeting

3.          Cost Control

 

Life-cycle Costing

l          一種評估專案成本的思維不只著眼於建造成本。

n          Consider operation and maintenance costs in making project decisions

 


 

Cost Estimating

l          成本估算是 估算出完成各項專案活動所需的成本,做為預算編列 (Cost Budgeting) 亦或是報價設定 (Pricing) 的依據。

n          Develops an approximation of the costs of the resources needed to complete project activities

n          Planning Process Group

n          Tools and Techniques

l          Analogous estimating

l          Determine resource cost rate

l          Bottom-up estimating

l          Parametric estimating

l          Project management software

l          Vendor bid analysis

l          Reserve analysis

l          Cost of quality

 

Analogous Estimating

l          類比估算 需快速成本低是其優點較不精確是其缺點

n          Also called top-down estimating

n          A form of expert judgment

n          Uses historical information

n          Less costly

n          Less accurate

n          Gives the project team an understanding of management’s expectations

 

Bottom-up Estimating

l          估算的精確度取決於專案活動或是工作包的規模及複雜程度,通常較小及單純者較易掌握。

n          Estimates the cost of individual work package or individual schedule activities with the lowest level of detail

n          Summarizes or "rolls up" the detailed cost to higher levels for reporting and tracking purposes

 

 


 

Cost Budgeting

l          預算編列以建立成本基準線,以便量測專案執行績效,以及規劃資金需求。

n          Aggregates the estimated costs of individual activities or work packages to establish a cost baseline

n          Planning Process Group

 

Cost Baseline

l          專案成本執行績效的量測基準。

n          A time-phased budget

n          Usually displayed in the form of an S-curve

n          A output of Cost Budgeting

n          A component of project management plan

 


 

Cost Control

l          成本控制包括量測、 分析、預測、掌控變異因素、以及變更管制。

n          Influences the factors that create cost variances and controls changes to the project budget

n          Planning Process Group

 

Cost Performance Index (CPI)

l          成本績效指數

n          A measure of cost efficiency

n          How much we are getting for every dollar invested

 

Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

l          時程績效指數

n          A measurement of schedule efficiency

n          How fast the project is progressing compared to the project plan

 

Earned Value Management (EVM)

l          實獲值管理所使用的計算公式說明如下:

n          Performance Measurement

l          EV: Earned value (實獲值)

l          PV: Planned value (計畫值)

l          AC: Actual cost (實際成本)

n          Variance Analysis

l          CV: Cost variance (成本差異)

                CV = EV – AC

l          SV: Schedule variance (時程差異)

                SV = EV – PV

n          Performance Index

l          CPI: Cost performance index (成本績效指數)

                CPI = EV / AC

l          SPI: Schedule performance index (時程績效指數)

                SPI = EV / PV

n          Forecasting

l          ETC: Estimate to Completion (竣工尚需成本預估)

l          BAC: Budget at Completion (竣工預算)

l          EAC: Estimate at Completion (竣工成本預估)

n           Three cases of ETC

1.          ETC: New estimate

2.          ETC = (BAC – EVC): Atypical variances

3.          ETC = (BAC-EVC) / CPIC: Typical variances

                XXC: Cumulative XX to date

n           Three cases of EAC

l          EAC = ACC + ETC

1.          EAC = ACC + ETC: New estimate

2.          EAC = ACC + (BAC – EVC): Atypical variances

3.          EAC = ACC + (BAC – EVC) / CPIC: Typical variances

               有些書會告訴你,還有另一個公式

4.          EAC = BAC / CPIC

               其實那只是3的簡化,如下

CPIC = EVC / ACC

EAC = ACC + (BAC – EVC) / CPIC

EAC = EVC / CPIC + (BAC – EVC) / CPIC

EAC = BAC / CPIC

l         考題常倒過來問ETC,要想到公式4以及

ETC = EAC – ACC

l         另一個名詞是Variance at Completion

VAC = BAC – EAC

 


 

Opportunity Cost

l          多個專案進行取捨評估時的成本考量。

n          The cost of choosing one project and giving up another

 

Sunk Cost

l          評估專案是否應繼續時的成本考量。

n          Expended cost

n          Should not be considered when deciding whether to continue with a troubled project
