This makes it especially important to try to optimize the management of the aerospace sector. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to propose the so-called Enhanced-Earned Value Management (hereinafter, E-EVM) model, able to explore the simultaneous evaluation of many projects, from which the management of the project can take advantage. Additionally, this model considers the possibility of forecasting pending tasks, measurable in time units or cost units, until the end of the project. The main contribution of E-EVM methodology is its capacity to detect both delayed and advanced projects by converting times (hours) into monetary units (EUR). Empirically, this enhanced model has been applied to a real case study in the aerospace industry composed of thousands of subprojects and the results provide the project manager with valuable information to make decisions in a short term. Through computer graphic representation techniques, the visualization of project deployment can be improved. Finally, the E-EVM model can be used even in big projects where a very large volume of information must be simultaneously treated and also, it will be suitable to apply pattern recognition concerning the project performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13020232","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,30]],"date-time":"2021-01-30T06:22:20Z","timestamp":1611987740000},"page":"232","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Enhanced-Earned Value Management (E-EVM) Model: A Proposal for the Aerospace Industry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6236-9853","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joaqu\u00edn","family":"L\u00f3pez Pascual","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Econom\u00eda de la Empresa, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 28032 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5955-5754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"Mel\u00e9ndez Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Organizaci\u00f3n de Empresas y Marketing, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Campus de Somosaguas, 28223 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1318-1221","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvador","family":"Cruz Rambaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Econom\u00eda y Empresa, Universidad de Almer\u00eda, La Ca\u00f1ada de San Urbano, s\/n, 04120 Almer\u00eda, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Mel\u00e9ndez, J.C., and Gal\u00e1n, J.L.
