It shall be the policy of MSFC to implement the seven guiding principles of
22、EVM by demonstrating compliance with certain criteria described in the remainder of this section. (1) PLAN ALL WORK FROM BEGINNING TO COMPLETION. (a) Define Authorized Work Work is defined by the use of a WBS. The WBS is the foundation for planning all approved work. The WBS is a product-oriented hi
23、erarchy that represents the total SOW for authorization, tracking, and reporting purposes. It also provides management with a control framework and traceability of work scope. This forms the foundation for communication and integration of all other processes that follow. (b) Identify the Organizatio
24、nal Structure Commonly referred to as an “org chart,” the OBS is a hierarchal representation of organizational elements, sometimes from different entities, involved in an effort. An OBS helps management focus on establishing the most efficient organization by taking into consideration the availabili
25、ty and capability of management and technical staff, including subcontractors, to achieve cost, schedule, and technical objectives. (c) Identify Discrete Work Work Package (WP) budgets established at the appropriate level identifying specific resource requirements in dollars, hours, or other measura
26、ble units, provide the detail for effective execution of the PMB at the CA level. The resources shall be time-phased the way the detail work is planned to be accomplished. This approach provides meaningful product-related or management-oriented events for performance measurement. When an area cannot
27、 be planned in detail, the technical, cost, and schedule requirements are held in Planning Packages (PP) to be planned and executed at a more appropriate time. The schedule may have more detail below the budgeting level to support the development of a realistic execution plan. (d) Sequentially Sched

29、ives/directives.htm VERIFY THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT VERSION BEFORE USE Scheduling authorized work facilitates effective planning, budgeting, progressing, and forecasting, all of which are critical to success. The integration of the technical, schedule, and cost requirements in the Integrated Master
30、Schedule results in the effective communication of the expected logical sequence of work. This also identifies all interdependencies between work activities that determine total work time needed to complete the effort as outlined in the WBS. As a result, time-phasing of all authorized discrete work
31、for use as a PMB is also achieved. (2) BREAK DOWN WORK INTO FINITE PIECES THAT CAN BE ASSIGNED TO A RESPONSIBLE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION FOR CONTROL OF COST, SCHEDULE, AND TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES. (a) Integrate the WBS and OBS, and Create Control Accounts The RAM integrates the WBS and the OBS creating C
32、A. Careful establishment of CA ensures the appropriate level of management is established based on the complexity of the work and capability of the organization. It also helps establish the level of performance measurement necessary for management. (b) Establish Overhead Budgets The overall value of
33、 establishing overhead budgets lies in the ability of management to manage cost elements that cannot be directly assigned to individual products. By comparing actual overhead expenses to established overhead budgets, management can determine if the absorption of overhead expenses based on existing d
34、ocumented allocation schemes is on track or if allocation rates need to be adjusted. The accurate assignment of overhead expenses, therefore, ensures that each program receives only its fair share of overhead costs. (c) Identify the Organization Responsible for Overhead Visibility into overhead cost
35、s is essential for management purposes. Therefore, it is important to have a documented process and organizations, including individual managers within these organizations, responsible for managing and approving the expenditures of overhead costs. (d) Identify Significant Cost Elements (e.g,. labor,
36、 material) Within Authorized Budgets An essential part of planning and establishing a PMB is the establishment of budgets for all the authorized work. Identification of the budget cost elements documents all the required resources and places work scope with the performing organization. Significant c
37、ost elements typically include labor, acquisitions, indirect costs and other direct costs (ODC). ODC include remaining direct costs other than labor and acquisitions such as travel.

39、A PMB AGAINST WHICH ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAN BE MEASURED. CONTROL CHANGES TO THE PMB. (a) Establish a Time-phased Budget The PMB represents the plan for executing all authorized work. It includes WP and PP at the CA level as well as Summary Level Planning Packages and UB held at higher levels. This tool
40、provides management a reference to assess performance. It represents the cumulative, time-phased, Budgeted Cost for Work Scheduled. The PMB is a key component of program and project management and provides source data for the project and institutional budgeting processes. An Integrated Baseline Revi
41、ew (IBR) is an effective management tool to ensure authorizing and performing organizations share a common understanding of the PMB. An IBR may be conducted early in the project life cycle for this purpose. (b) Integrate Internal EVM Subsystems with the WBS and OBS The integration of planning, sched
42、uling, budgeting, authorization, and cost accumulation processes provides the capability for establishing the PMB, identifying progress, and collecting actual costs to support analysis through common data elements and corrective actions. Inclusion of the WBS and OBS permits cost and performance summ
43、arization at appropriate levels for management insight and control. (c) Document Changes to the PMB By ensuring that authorized budget and schedule revisions are documented and traceable, the integrity of the PMB is maintained and can be verified. This provides managers with valid plans against whic
44、h to execute and measure performance. An IBR can be an effective tool for managers to ensure authorizing and performing organizations share a common understanding following a major change to the PMB. (d) Control Retroactive Changes Retroactive changes to the baseline may mask variance trends and pre
45、vent use of the performance data to accurately forecast cost and schedule at completion. Retroactive changes for routine accounting adjustments, rate changes or price adjustments, and data or accounting errors are acceptable exceptions to the control process.
