Take advantage of ...
... a powerful database combined with a CAD-like Drawing Approach

The project management software QEI Exec provides you with a very powerful database that you can use to easily manage even large projects and multi-projects. Project data can be entered into QEI Exec or imported from other applications.

You can edit project data both in a spreadsheet-like or graphical (barchart, network, structure) mode. The graphical mode is not simply predefined by the software but a CAD-like approach allows to display data as you need them.

This approach gives you the user total control over the appearance of your data. See this example ...

Structure Support of QEI Exec Project Management Software

Primary project structure: all data is created within primary project structure (eg WBS = Work Breakdown Structure)
Numerous analysis options: data can be analysed via any number of alternate summary structures (eg OBS = Organisation Breakdown Structure, PBS = Product Breakdown Structure)
Instant recalculation of roll-up as data changes
Structure depth: structures can be of any depth
Flexibility: no enforced coding schemes

The graphic below shows a sample work breakdown structure in QEI Exec. Traffic lights visualise the state of the structure element. Please, visit our Online-Tour to learn more about the details shown in this work breakdown structure.

Earned Value Functions of QEI Exec Project Management Software

Complete data history: baselined data may not be deleted. The process saves copies of all current key data (dates, rate decks, work patterns etc)
Rebaselining / Unbaselining: projects can be rebaselined or unbaselined if required
Rate conversions: earned value parameters can be computed with or without rate conversions applied
Actual costs: can be recorded independently of actual quantities
Actual costs: may be applied at any level in the activity breakdown structure
Performance monitoring: consolidation controlled by basis (eg all resources, single resource) and date - allows monitoring of past and anticipated performance in detail
Key parameters: are computed dynamically for every element of every structure based on the current consolidation
"Traffic light" information: Chart data may be coloured based on cost or schedule performance to give "traffic light" information

Project management without earned value analysis is not serious. The graphic below shows a sample graphic of earned value analysis in QEI Exec. Please, visit our Online-Tour to learn more about the details shown in this earned value graphic.

Time Chainage Charts in QEI Exec Project Management Software

Commonly used on linear construction projects such as roads, pipelines and tunnels, time chainage charts (Download for further information: Time Chainage brochure) display activities against both time and distance.

The principal benefit is the management of work in confined spaces where typically only one operation can be performed at a time. PCF originally developed this extension to QEI Exec for TransManche Link, the group set up to construct the Channel Tunnel.

Time Chainage Charts in linear projects significantly increases the quality of your project management. The graphic below shows a sample time chainage chart in QEI Exec. Please, visit our Online-Tour to learn more about the details shown in this time chainage chart.

Boxcharts in QEI Exec Project Management Software

The traditional barchart (Gantt chart) displays one bar per line in the vertical direction. Although some packages (including QEI Exec!) can display multiple bars per line, even this format does not always provide a suitable means of displaying information in situations where one wishes to group tasks or activities together.

Boxcharts are extension to QEI Exec that were originally co-developed by PCF and British Aerospace to display work assignments for engineering staff during aircraft manufacture. In a typical boxchart the horizontal axis displays a timescale much like a normal barchart, whereas the vertical axis groups tasks by the resources assigned to them. This means that a single task may appear more than once on the boxchart if it has multiple resources assigned to it. The height of each box also indicates the amount of the resource being assigned.

Boxcharts add a dimension to the barchart. This way it enhances the information given in the chart. The graphic below shows a sample boxchart in QEI Exec. Please, visit our Online-Tour to learn more about the details shown in this boxchart.
