Engineering Project Performance & Cost Control Transformation

An engineering firm managing multiple concurrent projects lacked structured visibility into project cost, schedule performance and resource allocation. Reporting was manually consolidated from project management systems, timesheets and finance platforms, creating delays and inconsistent KPI definitions.

Leadership struggled to track real-time cost variance, milestone progress and resource utilisation across projects. By the time performance issues were identified, corrective action was often reactive rather than proactive.

ROAR Data implemented a structured Power BI reporting framework integrating project management, ERP and time tracking systems into a unified engineering performance model.

Executive dashboards were developed to monitor Schedule Performance Index (SPI), Cost Performance Index (CPI), margin per project, resource utilisation and milestone achievement rates in real time.

Following implementation, project reporting preparation time was reduced by 55%, schedule performance improved by 12% and engineering rework was reduced by 18% due to earlier visibility of performance risks.
