Methodology

Project
Control Solutions

From mechanical erection control to Digital Twin innovation, a complete, field-tested project control methodology for the world's most demanding EPC environments.

Capabilities

Six Core Services

01

Planning & Scheduling

Baseline schedule development, WBS structuring, and work package definition. Fast Track Planning Methodology for telecom and time-critical programmes.

WBSBaselineFast Track
02

Earned Value Management

BCWS, ACWP, BCWP monitoring with SPI/CPI performance indices. Early warning detection of schedule and cost deviations before they become critical.

EVMSPI/CPIForecasting
03

AWP & Digital Twin

Advanced Work Packaging with BIM and 4D scheduling. 3D Model + Time = Digital Twin, in partnership with 3Units Technology, Switzerland.

Earned Value Management

Three Pillars
of Performance

EVM provides the quantitative backbone of every Salerno engagement, measuring what was planned, what was done, and what it actually cost.

SV= BCWP − BCWSSchedule Variance
CV= BCWP − ACWPCost Variance
SPI= BCWP / BCWSSchedule Performance Index
CPI= BCWP / ACWPCost Performance Index
EAC= BAC / CPIEstimate At Completion
BCWS
Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled

The planned value, what you expected to accomplish at this point. Sets the baseline and enables variance calculation.

ACWP
Actual Cost of Work Performed

What you have actually spent on site. Ground truth from field reporting, timesheets, and procurement records.

BCWP
Budgeted Cost of Work Performed

Earned value, the budgeted worth of completed work. Bridges schedule and cost performance in a single metric.

Work Package
Monitoring

Each activity tracked by discipline and area, BCWS, ACWP, and BCWP enabling transparent progress measurement with automatic performance alerts.

Performance Matrix

Effectiveness
vs. Efficiency

True control requires doing the right work (Effectiveness) using optimal resources (Efficiency). Use this matrix to identify your current position and guide corrective action.

Effective / Inefficient
Right scope, cost overrun. Optimise resource allocation.
Effective / Efficient ✓
Ideal state. Right work, right cost. Sustain and scale.
Ineffective / Inefficient
Critical, wrong scope, cost overrun. Act immediately.
Ineffective / Efficient
Efficient but wrong scope. Realign to objectives.
