Investigation of the Earned Value Method (EVM) Applicability for Construction Operations Affected by the Learning Phenomenon

Multi-Technology Driven R&D Cost Improvement Scheme and Application Utility of EESP in Energy-Intensive Manufacturing Industry

“…Currently, the WBS method has been applied to R&D cost management in many different scenarios, involving quantitative similarity assessment of construction projects [34], model development of mobile cloud service [35], quality planning of high rise building architectural works [36], schedule planning in Steel Bridge construction projects [37], pricing management of prefabricated concrete construction project [38], risk evaluation index system construction for power grid engineering cost [39], and multi-dimensional BIM database construction for total construction as-built documentation [40]. By analyzing the studies of existing scholars on EVM, it is found that EVM has been widely used in the supervision and management of engineering cost and schedule [41][42][43][44][45][46], and many engineering practices (such as the construction of the Karanggeneng Nawacita Cs Suspension Bridge [44], goods transportation of coastal enterprises [45], and traditional software projects [46]) prove that it is an effective method to monitor practice and engineering deviation. With the advent of the data era, management innovation driven by big data has been favored by scholars and industry experts [47][48][49].…”
