Pace of work
 
 
- The "pace of work" variable
- 
- Depends on whether the rate of production is optimized
 
- For example
- 
- If the target delivery date is set sooner 
- Than an optimal program of work suggests
 
- Then the work must be accelerated 
- By applying additional resources, or overtime 
- Either may imply additional cost to perform 
- And possibly additional risk due to increased complexity in coordination
 
- If the work is prolonged 
- Extra costs result from idle capacity
