This book was released on 1984 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1967, the DOD has required its contractors to have cost and schedule performance measurement systems that satisfy certain criteria. These criteria are considered necessary to monitor and control contract performance. Specifically, the objectives of the criteria are for contractors to have cost and schedule control systems which accomplish both of the following: are effective for contractors in meeting their requirements for controlling contract performance; and Provide data which give an adequate basis for responsible decision-making by both contractor management and DoD components. The criteria, known as the Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (C/SCSC), are applicable to selected contracts within programs designated as major system acquisitions. Over the years since 1967, controversies surrounding C/SCSC and associated reporting requirements have existed within industry and government. These controversies or issues can be categorized under two headings: (1) whether the costs of the criteria and associated reporting requirements outweigh their benefits, and (2) concerns about the specifies of how these requirements have been implemented.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1967, the Department of Defense (DOD) has required its contractors to have cost and schedule performance measurement systems that satisfy certain criteria. These criteria are deemed necessary to monitor and control contract performance. The criteria, known as the Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (C/SCSC), are applicable to selected contracts (that are not firm fixed-price) within programs designated as major system acquisitions. Controversies surrounding C/SCSC and associated reporting requirements have existed within industry and government. These controversies or issues can be categorized under two headings: whether the costs of the criteria and associated reporting requirements outweigh their benefits and concerns about the specifics of how these requirements have been implemented. The purpose of the survey is to: Determine the degree of acceptance and use of the C/SCSC by defense contractors and government program managers; Identify problems and issues, the resolution of which could lead to improvements in the C/SCSC and contract performance measurement reporting requirements; and Recommend policy changes that will lead to these improvements and could be implemented by the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller).

Download or read book Using Earned Value written by Alan Webb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of 'earned value' as a project management tool has been around since the 1960s; although recognized as an important technique and widely used on US Government contracts, it failed to excite much interest in the wider world because of its specifically American requirements and the cumbersome, prescriptive bureaucracy that seemed to accompany it. Recently however, with the advent of suitable software and used in a much more flexible way, there has been a growth in interest among project managers. Crucially it has been recognised that this technique can be helpful in a wide variety of projects of almost any size, not just government projects costing billions of pounds. In essence, earned value allows the project manager a more precise view of actual project performance in terms of both value generated and schedule progress than is possible with any other approach. Alan Webb's concise guide provides practising project managers with everything they need to: ¢ assess the appropriateness and benefits of the earned value process for both their project(s) and their organization; ¢ appreciate, understand and learn the techniques involved; ¢ identify how to apply the data to manage projects with flexibility, pragmatism and rigour; ¢ understand the different features and benefits of the various software packages available; ¢ plan for the introduction of an earned value methodology, anticipating both the systems and people problems they may face. The book uses worked examples, cases and anecdotes from the author's own extensive experience to bring this technical subject to life. Alan's writing style is direct and economical, which means that whether you are dipping into chapters for reference or reading about the process from cover to cover, everything he has to say is pertinent and helpful.

Download or read book The Cost Schedule Control System Criteria A Case Study written by Donald D. Wright and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present the Department of Defense Cost/Schedule Control System Criteria (C/SCSC) is still a relatively new concept for control of management information flow between DoD components and major defense contractors. Since it is new and represents a substantial departure in both philosophy and form from previously used systems, a serious lack of educational material exists. Since there was no material available of the self-contained case study type of a length reasonable for use in a graduate level course as an overview, this case study was developed. It is intended to be of use as an educational aid in presenting C/SCSC to a group composed primarily of Air Force Officers in a course on financial management.
