Construction ManagementEarned ValueMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
15% ahead of schedule
B
Behind schedule — earning only 85 paise of work for every rupee of planned work
C
15% over budget
D
85% physically complete
Correct Answer
B. Behind schedule — earning only 85 paise of work for every rupee of planned work
Why is this the answer?
SPI = EV/PV. SPI < 1 means project is behind schedule (earning less value than planned). SPI = 0.85 means for every Rs.100 of work planned, only Rs.85 worth is actually accomplished. CPI = EV/AC measures cost performance. SPI > 1 = ahead of schedule; SPI < 1 = behind.
