Baseline Execution Index (BEI) Report Overview

Use this report to compare the cumulative number of tasks actually completed each period to the cumulative number of baseline tasks scheduled to be completed. The Baseline Execution Index (BEI) metric is used to indicate the efficiency with which actual work has been accomplished when measured against the baseline.

The report is driven from the activity table and compares the number of tasks that should have completed to a certain point in time with the number of tasks that were completed.

The dates used for the BEI calculation originate from one of two places. If the schedule originated from Open Plan Professional (OPP) then the baseline dates come from the baseline identified in the grid on the schedule link page for the schedule project. If the schedule did not originate from OPP, the dates from the activity table are used.

The Baseline Cumulative section number represents those that have a baseline finish before the period end date. The Actual Cumulative number represents those tasks that contain an actual finish date before the same point in time.

You can only use the Baseline Execution Index (BEI) report if you have proper access rights.
