Cwicr Schedule Integrator

CWICR Schedule Integrator

Business Case

Problem Statement

Project planning requires:

• Linking costs to schedule activities
• Generating cost-loaded schedules
• Projecting cash flow requirements
• Tracking earned value

Solution

Integrate CWICR cost data with project schedules to create cost-loaded Gantt charts, cash flow curves, and earned value tracking.

Business Value

• Cost visibility - See when costs occur
• Cash flow - Project funding requirements
• Earned value - Track cost/schedule performance
• Integration - Connect cost and schedule data

Quick Start

from datetime import date

# Load CWICR data
cwicr = pd.read_parquet("TR_workitems_costs_resources_DDC_CWICR.parquet")

# Initialize integrator
integrator = CWICRScheduleIntegrator(cwicr)

# Create activities
activity1 = integrator.create_schedule_activity(
    activity_id="A001",
    description="Foundation Excavation",
    start_date=date(2024, 6, 1),
    duration_days=10,
    work_items=[
        {'work_item_code': 'EXCV-001', 'quantity': 500}
    ]
)

activity2 = integrator.create_schedule_activity(
    activity_id="A002",
    description="Foundation Concrete",
    start_date=date(2024, 6, 11),
    duration_days=15,
    work_items=[
        {'work_item_code': 'CONC-001', 'quantity': 150},
        {'work_item_code': 'REBAR-002', 'quantity': 5000}
    ],
    predecessors=["A001"]
)

# Generate cash flow
activities = [activity1, activity2]
cash_flow = integrator.generate_cash_flow(activities, "Building Project")

print(f"Total Cost: ${cash_flow.total_cost:,.2f}")
print(f"Project Duration: {(cash_flow.end_date - cash_flow.start_date).days} days")

Common Use Cases

1. Monthly Cash Flow

for month, cost in cash_flow.monthly_costs.items():
    print(f"{month}: ${cost:,.2f}")

2. Earned Value Analysis

progress = {'A001': 100, 'A002': 60}
actual_costs = {'A001': 45000, 'A002': 72000}

evm = integrator.calculate_earned_value(
    activities,
    progress,
    actual_costs,
    data_date=date(2024, 6, 20)
)

print(f"CPI: {evm.cpi}")
print(f"SPI: {evm.spi}")
print(f"EAC: ${evm.eac:,.2f}")

3. Export Cash Flow

integrator.export_cash_flow(cash_flow, "project_cash_flow.xlsx")
