Dupont
The client: DuPont is an American multinational chemical company first formed in 1802 by French-American chemist and industrialist Éleuthère Irénée du Pont de Nemours. The company played a major role in the development of Delaware and first arose as a major supplier of gunpowder.
The challenge
With a diverse and global network of research centers and manufacturing sites, DuPont has
a dedicated project controls team for each location that manages the entire project portfolio within their sites. Managing project data from different sites across the organization caused a challenge for reporting at an enterprise level causing delayed reporting, manual errors, and mismatches in key resource directories to name a few. It was time to move to a cloud-based solution that would provide a connected, holistic view of the enterprise project portfolio structure and position them for the next stage of growth.
The results
Working in partnership with Compass Consult to enhance their Primavera P6 capabilities
has ensured DuPont now have a centralized Project Controls system on the cloud, this
increases visibility across all site with real-time reporting and dashboard capabilities
while gaining increased efficiencies in resource management and accurately forecasts
project progress and funding requirements

FAQs
Earned Value Management (EVM) is a structured methodology utilised in project management to evaluate a project's performance concerning cost, schedule, and scope. It involves comparing the planned value (budgeted cost of work scheduled) with the actual cost incurred and the value of work completed. Through this comparison, project managers can identify discrepancies from the project baseline and implement corrective measures when necessary.
EVM offers numerous advantages for construction projects, including enhanced project control and visibility, early detection of potential cost and schedule overruns, informed decision-making, improved communication and collaboration among stakeholders, and ultimately, higher project success rates.
Earned Value Management relies on three primary components:
There are various methods to calculate Earned Value (EV), depending on the project's nature and complexity. One common approach involves multiplying the percentage of work completed for a specific activity by its budgeted cost.
Discrepancies from the baseline (variations between Planned Value, Earned Value, and Actual Cost) can serve as indicators of potential project risks. Analysing these trends enables project managers to pinpoint areas where the project may deviate from its intended course and take proactive measures to mitigate associated risks.
EVM is not obligatory for all construction projects. However, it is a recommended practice for complex projects, especially those with substantial budgets or tight schedules. Government contracts may also stipulate specific EVM requirements.
Several project management software tools support EVM implementation. Primavera P6, as mentioned on our webpage, is one such example, enabling users to monitor and analyse EVM data effectively.
Various online resources and industry organisations offer detailed insights into EVM and its advantages for construction projects. Our website serves as a valuable starting point, alongside professional associations and project management communities. Feel free to explore these resources for a deeper understanding of EVM's benefits in construction project management.
