2. a)
What is the Earned Value for this project?
42.6
2. b)
What is the schedule performance index (SPI) for the project at
the end
of
October
?
CPI= Cumulatve EV / Cumulative AC
= 42.6/55
= 0.77
2. c)
What is the estimated schedule (time) to complete this project?
The planned duration for the project is five months.
But the SPI is 0.77
So, the project is expected to complete in 5 /0.77 = 3.85 months.
2. d)
What is the cost performance index (CPI) for the project at
the end
of October
?
CPI= Cumulatve EV / Cumulative AC
= 42.6/55
= 0.77
2. e)
What is the estimated cost to complete this project?
The Budget At Completion (BAC)is 100
The cumulative EV is 42.6
Estimate to complete
ETC =
(BAC- EV/CPI)
= 100-42.6
0.77
= 74.54
3. f)
Based on your estimations on schedule and cost in 2. c) and 2. e), are those estimations good
signs or bad signs of the project? Why? Describe the reason(s).
So, based on the above estimates, the project is ahead of its schedule as we have found that it
will take less time than the planned duration to complete in part B.
However, it is consuming a little less budget than planned, and if the same cost-performance
remains till the end, the project might consume the additional budget.
The overall estimate at completion will be ETC+AC=42.6+55=97.6 thousand, which is less than
the planned 100 thousand.

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.

Cathy Gwynn for a class project is analyzing a "Quick Shop" grocery store. The store emphasizes quick service, a limited assortment of grocery items, and higher prices. Cathy wants to see if the store hours (currently 0600 to 0100) can be changed to make the store more profitable.

The cost ofthe groceries sold averages 65% of sales. The incremental cost to keep the store open, including the clerk's wage and other operating costs, is S23 per hour. To maximize profit, when should the store be opened, and when should it be closed?

To represent a location on earth surface you need to define its altitude and longitude
angles.
3
Solar zenith and solar incidence angles have the same value for horizontal surface.
At sunset time the value of solar altitude angle is maximum.
4
The angle which represents the inclination of a given surface is the zenith angle

When the absolute value of sun-wall azimuth angle exceeds 90' this means that the sun
rays are reaching the receiving plane.
The solar irradiance and the solar irradiation have the same physical meaning.
In the case of clear sky weather, the beam solar irradiation on a horizontal surface is less
than the diffused irradiation.
The total solar radiation received by a tilted surface is the same as that…
