Construction projects include many risks due to uncertain factors, so it is very important to repeatedly evaluate the performance of on-going work in the aspects of cost and schedule plans during a project. In Korea, however, construction projects are managed by focusing on the results of projects. Moreover, cost and schedule are managed separately even though the efficiency of integrated management is very high. So, on the first of July, 2000, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation announced that Earned Value Management System(EVMS) which is a cost and schedule integrated management tool will be applied in the public sector. However, many people confuse the meaning of EVMS with that of cost and schedule management, and they also believe the EVMS isn't suitable for Korea, because the construction environment of Korea is different from that of America and Australia, etc. As a matter of fact, in America Cost/Schedule Control System Criteria(C/SCSC) which is the original form of EVMS was established in 1965, and they have 32 years experience to apply C/SCSC and EVMS to real projects. Also, in America the EVMS is applied to only Cost Plus Fee Construction projects, while on Korea almost all projects are performed by Fixed Price Contract. Accordingly, this study understands and analysis the concepts of cost/schedule integrated management and Baseline
establishment method that is a major element of EVMS management system clearly and finally, proposes the establishment method of PMB for owners that could be applicable to real projects.
