Abstract
Construction Industry Institute(CII) now is developing and using CAPP (Continuous Assessment of Project Performance) which is according to the data base of standard Good/Non-successful case and then using the classification factor and the performance index of construction(ex. Proprietors’ total expense and the numbers of change orders) to manage the proceeding program promptly. The main purpose of CAPP is to offer project supervisor a method to manage and control project cost and schedule continuously and promptly in the whole life cycle of an engineering project. Earned Value Management (EVM) is an integrated assessment method for project performance composed of combined schedule and cost. It has been fully used by America, Canada, England, Japan, Australia and Sweden, and has been regarded as the Best Practice of project management. EVM provides project supervisor with the project’s scheduled accomplish part(Planned Value,PV),the actually accomplished part(Earned Value,EV),and the cost for the accomplished part(Actual Cost,AC) to realize the survey value of ongoing project and also offered integrated assessment of performance index hoping the feedback work of performance management operates efficiently while project is running. As to engineering consultant’s traditional project management usually relies on personal experience of project supervisor rather than objective methods and systematic control models. This study through the studies reviews and case study has investigated the feasibility and value of adopting CAPP plan performance appraisal theory and earned value management theory into the engineering consultant’s project performance management and established a performance assessment index suits our engineering consultant agency for business execution. Then use that index to make questionnaire with employees in engineering consultant agency to confirm the importance and practicability of performance assessment index in project performance management. The main purpose is to adopt the new performance manage method to running project to control and improve performance efficiently as to perfect it. To sum up, through these researches and questionnaires, the conclusion is: cost and schedule are the main factor that decides whether the performance of project manage service doing by engineering consultant is good or not. That is to say, managing cost and schedule during the whole project execution is the only way to ensure the project performance works successfully. The performance manage method, CAPP and EVM, could examine and manage project’s cost and schedule in the meantime and is a scientific way for project supervisor because of its early warning and prediction effect. And the sifted CAPP and EVM indexes through the questionnaire has been concluded and separately arranged on four sections, Financial, Labor Related, Change order, and Safety Related, including 39 performance management indexes, which should able to be consulted by engineering consultant agency for project performance management.
