Project Progress Measurement A Qualitative Approach

(A case study emphasizing the Quality Attribute as a cost saving project management tool)

Traditional progress measurement focuses on time, budget, and resources. This paper proposes a quality-oriented approach using Production Efficiency Percentage (PEP). Replacing "General Economy" with a fixed "General Quality" (100%) in PEP prioritizes quality throughout the project. A case study on mechanical equipment installation demonstrates substantial cost savings (Total Installation Cost) and reduced project time due to fewer rework cycles when using the quality-oriented PEP. This approach has potential for broader application across project disciplines and scales.

KeywordsQuality-Oriented Project Management, Production Efficiency Percentage (PEP), Project Cost Savings, Schedule Optimization, Quality Attribute Integration

  1. INTRODUCTION (PROJECT PROGRESS MEASUREMENT)

    Assessing the rate at which a project is progressing in terms of time and money resulting in the delivery of a successful result is commonly referred to as progress measurement of an ongoing project. As part of the project control process, it also involves monitoring related resources that have been used at any point in time having visibility over the tasks and milestones that have been completed. Putting it in simple terms, if target percent complete is greater than actual percent complete then the project is behind schedule. If target percent complete is less than actual percent complete, then the project is ahead of schedule.

  2. PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY PERCENTAGE (PEP) AND PRODUCTIVITY

    1. PEP: (actual output rate / standard output rate) x 100

      A business entity executing a project of any magnitude considers many factors when deciding to use their resources to progress the project. Production efficiency, which is an important production factor, refers to a point where production reaches full capacity and maximum efficiency. If the job involves production, it's important to understand the concept of production efficiency and the production efficiency. The PEP is classified into five categories based on the comparison of numerously executed past projects [1] which are mentioned below:

    2. PEP @ 75% – General Economy

      An average PEP percentage for a project that is executed at a stable location (country/region) can be determined as 80% based on the below:

    3. Composite Rate for 75% PEP

      For this case study, the following crew of 13 people were assumed to carry out the Mechanical tasks. The composite rate of $38.43 was arrived based on 120 hours bi-weekly (60 hours work week) which is the composite manhour rate for 100% of the time.

      The composite rate of $38.43/hour are based on an average productivity of 75%, therefore the composite rate of $38.43 becomes equal to 75%.

    4. Re-factored PEP to 80% – From General Economy to General Quality

      For each project, before the labor value is calculated, the PEP should be determined. In the conventional project management, the General Economy attribute is considered, but being a leading element, for this research paper, the General Economy is replaced by General Quality attribute rated at 100% which shall be always fixed at Excellent as quality can never be compromised to a level below 100%.

    5. Composite Rate for 80% PEP

    The same crew of 13 people were tasked to carry out the Mechanical tasks with a revised PEP of 80% after replacing the General Economy attribute with General Quality.

    This means a gain of 5% of time paid per man hours which means the composite rate will have an adjustment of 5% (manhour rate of 100% time minus the 5% gain = 95%).

    The revised composite rate now will be $38.43 x 95% = $36.51 for 80% Productivity Efficiency Percentage (PEP).

  3. CREW RATES

    Appendix 1 displays the average Craft Rates (dollar values) that were tabulated from the data received from various Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) organizations based on a detailed survey that was carried out for this case study.

  4. COMPOSITE RATE APPLIED TO THIS CASE STUDY

    For the purpose of this case study, 6 critical mechanical equipment installation for a project were selected. The total manhours estimated for the installation of the below categorized (6 items) Mechanical Equipment were estimated as 40190.36 (data conceived from average of historical data and from project estimate).

    1. Application of Composite Rate for 75% PEP

      The composite crew rate derived of $38.43 based on the 75% Productivity Efficiency Percentage (PEP) that is based on the PEP attributes mentioned in the above Sections II -B&C results in the Total Installation Cost (TIC) of $1,544,515.53.

      Now the focus is shifted to a PEP of 80% in below section B which is based on the PEP attributes mentioned in the section II D.

    2. Application of Composite Rate for 80% PEP

    The composite crew rate was ascertained as $36.51 based on the 80% Productivity Efficiency Percentage (PEP) which was obtained by replacing [1] the General Economy attribute with General Quality attribute. Introducing the quality attribute in fact reduced the time spent along with a reduction in the

    1 The reason to replace General Economy attribute with General Quality Attribute is to avoid the double dipping of the General Economy attribute while applying Production Efficiency Percentage (PEP) as any project is considered as a go only based on the General Economy being stable or viable, so that attribute is already considered during the decision-making stage. So, again considering the General Economy attribute in the PEP actually defeats the purpose of the PEP.

    composite crew rate resulting in a reduced Total Installation Cost (TIC). The Total Installation Cost (TIC) was estimated as

    $1,467,350.04. This difference in TIC is $77,165.49. This is a cost saving.

  5. CASE STUDY APPLIED ON A BROADER SPECTRUM

    The above experimented case study can be applied to a broader spectrum, i.e. to disciplines other than Mechanical, such as Civil, Structural, Piping, Electrical & Instrumentation and Telecommunications by applying the PEP attribute(s) mentioned in the section II. Also, this case study was carried out based on analyzing the data collected by way of experimenting the Mechanical Installation (mentioned in section 4) on a petrochemical project.

    A typical oil & gas/petrochemical facility construction project valued at 16 billion US$ as the total project cost (or any project value) has the following stages in the project management cycle starting from initiation & planning to closeout of which the construction (or execution) being the heavy weight item with most of the manhours and cost associated.

    By applying the revised composite rate and revised PEP devised (by implementing the quality attribute) from the sections II, III and IV mentioned above to the construction cost of US$9.6 billion, a total cost saving of US$ 50.48 million is achieved, which is a substantial cost saving for a mega project of the value of US$ 16 billion.

  6. CONCLUSION

The experimented case study carried out with two scenarios. 1) without quality attribute implemented at every step Appendix 2.1 & Appendix 2.2 and 2) with quality attribute implemented at every step Appendix 3.1 & Appendix 3.2 has clearly showcased that there will be a substantial cost savings with regards to Total Installation Cost (TIC) with reduced spent time.

In this case study, for the installation of the mechanical equipment noted in section 4 by spending 40190.36 manhours with two different PEPs (%) as noted in sub-sections IVA & B has clearly shown that by implementing a quality oriented installation (of the mechanical equipment) at every step as per above noted appendices 3.1 & 3.2 against the non-quality oriented installation approach as noted in appendices 2.1 & 2.2 shows a substantial cost saving and less time being spent.

When this is implemented on a large-scale installation and to other disciplines (beyond mechanical) such as civil, structural, piping, electrical and instrumentation will result in the same cost saving and lesser schedule time spent.
