AACE International 2010 Annual Meeting

June 27-30, 2010

The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering will hold its 2010 Annual Conference at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis in Atlanta, Georgia. This event will present the best practices of cost estimating, cost control, business planning and management, profitability analysis, project management, and planning and scheduling.

On June 28, 2009, Mark Walden from the FAA, Rohit Iyer and Tom Brown from EcoSys, will be presenting Implementing an EVMS/Cost Controls System for FAA's TAMR Program.

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Terminal Automation Modernization and Replacement (TAMR) program is a capital program that employs a phased approach to modernizing the air traffic control systems used by controllers at the Nations major airports. The third phase of the Program involves the modernization or replacement of the automation systems at additional air traffic control facilities to support the increasing demand for air traffic services.

This paper describes the EVMS/cost controls system for the TAMR program that takes into account the unique challenges of managing a large federal program supporting critical national infrastructure, including:

• Managing costs throughout the entire lifecycle from funding to estimates to bids/proposals through delivery
  
• The ability to make program adjustments and take corrective action based on accurate and predictive cost performance data
  
• Adaptable Earned Value rules meeting different needs while adhering to ANSI 748 audit requirements
