  • Abstract
    An analytical scheme is presented for measuring the physical completion of engineering effort and relating this to the appropriate segment of a budget curve, representing planned expenditure of effort. The method was developed in connection with weapons systems projects. A measure (the delta factor) is devised of the variation of actual physical engineering completion from the standard or expected value. A computational algorithm for the delta formula is given. Illustrations are given of its use as a diagnostic tool.
