The Pulse of Performance: Vehicle Unit Cost Reports

Abstract

If a cumulative earned value chart represents the health of a program, the vehicle unit cost report is the programs pulse. The assault amphibious vehicles earned value management effort has demonstrated a proven methodology for cost and schedule performance tracking. Cumulative earned value charts with stratification of the actual cost of work performed and its related performance metric plotted against the budgeted cost of work scheduled provide, at a glance, an acuity reference of the projects health. Addition of program metrics such as the cost and schedule indices coupled with threshold variances combine to establish a forecasted/recommended estimate to complete. But when it comes to auribus tenere lupum[hold the wolf by the ears] the structure and data integrity enforced by the vehicle unit costs report is the analysts choice.
