A project involves monitoring the delivery of clean water to multiple rural communities using tankers. The total planned distance for deliveries in the first month is 1,000 kilometers. The project team planned to complete 500 kilometers by mid-month (PV). However, by mid-month, they have only covered 400 kilometers (EV), and the actual cost incurred so far is $4,800 (AC). The planned cost for the first 500 kilometers was $5,000.
Questions:
1. What is the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) for the project?
2. What is the Cost Performance Index (CPI) for the project?
3. Is the project ahead or behind schedule?
4. Is the project over or under budget?
Question 2
A project involves monitoring the fuel usage for vehicles transporting materials to a construction site. The project plan estimates that each vehicle will travel 100 kilometers per trip using 10 liters of fuel. The total project involves 50 trips (PV). By the end of the project, only 40 trips were completed (EV) with an actual fuel usage of 450 liters (AC). The planned fuel usage for the 50 trips was 500 liters.
Questions:
1. What is the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) for the project?
2. What is the Cost Performance Index (CPI) for the project in terms of fuel efficiency?
3. Is the project on track in terms of the number of trips completed?
4. Is the fuel usage within the budget?
Sample Question 3
A project to deliver educational materials to schools across a region involves a total distance of 2,000 kilometers. The plan (PV) was to cover 1,000 kilometers in the first month at a cost of $10,000, with a total fuel usage of 1,000 liters. However, at the end of the month, only 900 kilometers (EV) have been covered, with an actual cost (AC) of $11,500 and actual fuel usage of 1,100 liters.
Questions:
1. Calculate the SPI for the project.
2. Calculate the CPI in terms of cost.
3. Calculate the CPI in terms of fuel usage.
4. Is the project on schedule?
5. Is the project within budget in terms of cost?
