How do you use financial performance metrics to identify cost savings?

To reduce, the initial cost we will go for lease methodology instead full brought out. For that will use Net Present Value (NPV) technique which will determine the difference between cash now and cash future at a date.

Other beneficial programmatic metrics that give you a good sense of where the program sits is understanding your EAC (estimate to completion) which is your actual cost (all cost incurred up until the current point in time) plus your ETC (estimate to compete) aka your forecast or remaining cost required for the program. Your BAC (budget at completion) is the budget minus any fee you were awarded. Take your BAC minus your EAC and you get your VAC (variance at completion). This variance tells you if you are either overrunning the program (represented by a negative dollar amount) or under running the program (represented by a positive dollar amount).

Both project completion progress and also cash flow in flow progress has to match more or less or else which will create unnecessary inventory to the company which is not advisable too. Hence It's most important to track the financial metrics match with the project progress.

Financial metrics also give the business operations and accounting department an accurate forecast of revenue recognition which is helpful is giving the company and understanding of human resource and non human resource growth potential, r&d potential, and capital expenditure potential to name a few. These metrics also show if the program manager is closely watching the program from all angles and making smart decisions that are beneficial for not only the success of the program, but for the company as a whole.

Your CV (cost variance) which is your earned value (EV) minus your actuals (AC) gives an indication of any cost savings to be realized. A negative amount means you are overrunning and need to pay close attention to your spending for the remainder of the program. A positive amount means cost savings are being realized. The program team still needs to follow the costs closely to make sure there are no future slips, but once the project is complete, the team will have a better understanding of the true profitability of the program. This is essentially your positive variance plus your negotiated fee percentage.

To use financial performance metrics to identify cost savings in program management: track and analyze key financial metrics (depending on the program type) such as cost variance, return on investment, cost of goods sold, and cost per unit; compare actual costs to budgeted costs; identify areas of overspending or inefficiency; conduct cost-benefit analysis for potential savings initiatives; prioritize cost-saving opportunities based on potential impact; implement strategies such as process optimization, resource allocation adjustments, and negotiation with vendors; regularly monitor and evaluate cost-saving initiatives to ensure effectiveness and adjust as needed.
