An HDL Application of the Cost/Schedule Control System (C/SCS) Criteria.

Abstract

The requirements (criteria) established in DODI 7000.2 for contractor implementation of a Cost/Schedule Control System (C/SCS) are most readily adapted to function-oriented industrial organizations. These criteria are generally not suitable for application by task-oriented organizations such as are found in government R and D. This report describes how DODI 7000.2 was applied by a government R and D laboratory for single-project management of C/SCS supported development programs. The methods and procedures developed for this application are presented with illustrations showing the actual implementation process. Problems inherent in the required transition from a task-oriented to a function-oriented configuration are discussed as well as the methods used to overcome them. Central to a satisfactory solution of these problems is that the necessary changes provided the minimum upset to the existing management and accounting system. Also introduced is a method for charting and measuring performance.
