Abstract:
This thesis effort provides a valuable tool for contract performance measurement (CPM) analysts to use both while attending formalized Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (C/SCSC) training, and while on the job. Research indicated a large amount of written material existed on contract performance measurement and the more specific topic of C/SCSC, yet this information was hidden in a wide array of unindexed professional journals, master's thesis, and texts. Further, while many professions have a reference guide of annotated bibliographies, CPM had none. Through an extensive literature review using several search and retrieval methods, the authors were able to amass a bibliography of nearly 100 professional journal articles, thesis, and texts which address contract performance-measurement issues within 11 more specific topic areas. While these sources do not begin to represent a census of the available information, it does represent a wide cross-section of some of the more important contributions to the performance measurement knowledge base.
