A comparison of EVM to measured mile in calculating inefficiency

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Delays and disruptions are the major factors to the cost overruns that affect many construction projects. Even though there are various methods proposed in previous researches that are considered applicable for analyzing the schedule impact and damages resulting from delays and disruptions, they do not consider the realistic production rates of activities over time. This research proposes a modified method that can reasonably calculate the damages due to delays and disruptions considering the feasible rates of production of activities over time. The proposed method includes the 'learning curve' and the 'earned value analysis' as research methodologies. EVM (Earned Value Management) will be utilized to demonstrate and calculate the loss of productivity due to delays or disruptions on construction activities.
