Base Line Execution Index (BEI)

DCMA considers a BEI below 0.95 to be indicative of a lack of efficiency requiring further investigation and possible mitigation.

The Baseline Execution Index (BEI), is another project in-progress measure intended to indicate level of performance against the baseline plan. In other words, how efficient is the construction team at getting through the tasks.

The test is a straightforward percentage check on actual number of Tasks completed at the Status Date divided by the baseline number of Tasks that should have been completed.

e.g.  At the Status Date 150 Tasks should be complete and only 135 are actually complete.  There fore the Index Factor is 135/150 = 0.9 or 90% of expectations.

This indicates a problem with productivity which requires investigation and action to correct.

Conversely, Baseline completed Tasks of 150 with an actual count of 170 provides an Index Factor of 175/150 – 1.17 or 17% above expectations.
