During a baseline review for a refinery expansion, the project controls lead asks the scheduler to resolve this issue: Using the same data (BAC=1M, PV=400K, EV=350K, AC=420K), what is SPI?
A progress curve for electrical installation shows 60 percent earned value, while installed quantities show only 45 percent of cable pulled and no terminations complete. What should the scheduler question?
The owner requests that activity durations not exceed 20 working days at the contract schedule level. Which AACE RP supports activity sizing guidance?
On a transit project with design, procurement, and field work running in parallel, the scheduler must decide: Same numbers (BAC=1M, EV=350K, AC=420K). Using EAC = AC + (BAC - EV), the result is:
An EPC contractor is preparing its baseline schedule basis for a compressor station. The owner asks why the schedule shows procurement of vendor drawings before purchase order award. Which basis entry best prevents later misunderstanding?
