Abstract
This study reviewes the so-called ”Ten Steps for Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system developed by the World Bank. The system needs to incorporate the three main components of the project; time, cost and quality, through a set of indicators. By studying Earned Value analysis (EVA) techniques include: (1) Earned Schedule Technique, (2) Fuzzy Approach Technique, (3) Planned Value Technique, (4) Earned Duration Technique, (5) The Weight Value Technique, (6) Linking EVA with Time Based Schedule Technique, (7) Active Floating Time Technique and conducting a comparison among them to assess their limitations in evaluating the project schedule performance, it has been found that the technique of ”Active Floating time” introduced by Amir Najafi in 2016 had the most accuracy in analysis comparing with all techniques. Incorporating Six Sigma methodology with Earned Value Analysis (EVA) technique provided a rationale for measuring the quality of accomplished work. Whereas the sigma level has been considered as an indicator of the quality, a formula has been proposed such that a part of the contractor’s financial dues was recommended to be deducted using a Demerit factor. A developed computer program ”Holistic M&E” provides an integrated tool that supports Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system through indicators and charts of the project performance status in the various aspects, whether time, cost or quality at any stage of project implementation. The developed program is applied to an actual case study for construction of Faculty of Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences at Kafr El-Sheikh University. This study includes seven chapters as follows: In Chapter one, a brief introduction and importance of the research are given along with the motivation, the objectives and the scope. A brief methodology of the study is also given in this chapter. In Chapter two, the basic knowledge, historical background and significance of the topic of research are described. Theoretical aspects of the research are also discussed briefly. Also the relevant literature is surveyed. In Chapter three, a comparative study between the different Earned Value Analysis (EVA) techniques is conducted to evaluate them and identify which one expresses the true status of the project performance. In Chapter four, a general overview of a proposed holistic M&E system will be outlined by incorporating Earned Value Analysis (EVA) technique and Six Sigma methodology in Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System. As well as, a formula is proposed to incorporate the quality component into Earned Value Analysis (EVA) technique. In Chapter five, a computer program is developed to implement a system for monitoring and evaluating the construction project with describing the application procedures to illustrate its capability to be used by the practitioners. In Chapter six, a real life project is investigated to test validity of the developed program. In Chapter seven, conclusions of the research findings and recommendations for future researches are presented.
