Present PracticesPresent Practices
Most companies:
• Track production of drawings and specifications versus budget
• Use % TIC as target engineering budget
• Use earned value concept in some form
• Have no uniform system of measurement

Problems with Present Practices
Problems with Present Practices
• Lack of standards for format and content
• Difficulty in tracking actual effort dedicated to each deliverable
• No correlation between number of deliverables and installed quantities or effectiveness
• Computer-based tools:- Schematics and specs from database
- Physical drawings replaced by models

SummarySummary
This quantity-based model:
• Addresses shortcomings of present methods
• Allows progress tracking with present engineering tools
• Engineering and Construction on same project control basis
• Focuses engineering effort on capital investment
• Uses data already collected for construction productivity
• Is applicable to all industries and project types.
• Will continuously improve with use
