Wanzek Construction
Back to Case Studies
Challenge:
The Wanzek Construction Company (Wanzek) purchased an Enterprise Planning and Control (EPC) system from EcoSys. In addition to the EPC, Wanzek requested that EcoSys provide a company-wide Earned Value Management System (EVMS) as part of the EPC purchase.
Solution:
EcoSys hired Valued Technology (VTI) as the provider of the EVMS design and implementation expertise based primarily on VTI's use of a "Risk-Based and Scalable" EVMS approach to EVMS implementations. First, VTI completed an EVMS Gap Analysis against the American ANSI/EIA 748 EVM Standard, the Australian AS 4817 EVM Standard, and the Project Management Institute's PMBOK. Then VTI developed and delivered a 3-tier EVMS System to Wanzek. These 3 tiers include:
- Small projects shall have some type of document that outlines how work and performance will be measured.
- Medium-sized projects, and all Firm Fixed Price (FFP) projects, shall use a risk-based and scalable earned value management system (EVMS) that complies with the 7 Principles of Earned Value Mangement Systems contained in ANSI/EIA 748 and selected ANSI/EIA 748 Guidelines.
- Large Cost Plus or Time and Materials contracts shall use an EVMS that fully complies with the 32 Guidelines contained ANSI/EIA 748.
