Hello planners,
I do understand how EVA is used. PV (BCWS), EV (BCWP), and AC (ACWP) are all to do with costs. Let us say total costs which are direct, indirect, and overhead costs; the latter is composed of site and HO costs. That means we compare apple to apple, cost to cost.
My questions:
1- How can we use P6 and EVA to calculate profit/loss which involves selling price NOT cost price? In other words, can we subtract EAC from the total project value (selling price) to calculate forecast profit/loss at completion? What bout profits calculation on the Data Date??
2- If 1 is possible, I do understand also that, it is not to the company’s interest to disclose its profits to the client when EVA reports and schedules are asked by him. Of course we have to submit monthly progress reports and monthly updated schedules to the client. The challenge is how to perform EVA without showing the client our profits; that is to say W/O making two schedules, one for the client and another for internal reporting purposes. That is too much for planners.
3- Can we produce productivity reports using EVA? Which means comparing budgeted labor, non-labor, material quantities to Actual ones? True of False??
Regards,
Yasser
