The fuzzy approach to the project network analysis of the project planning and control is commonly oriented on the fuzzy critical path setting and the project duration monitoring. In the article, this approach is improved by the addition of the project costs perspective to the standard time aspect. The relations for the fuzzy quantity of the total project costs and for its membership function are derived. The example demonstrates the application of the theoretical relations and shows how the enhanced fuzzy approach can be used when different project variants are to be compared. The example also reveals how the fuzzy approach with the project costs monitoring brings new information for the project planning and management and for the risk management.

Construction delays are a common and major concern in most construction projects. Construction project delay can indirectly affect of project performance. Delay resolve method is to schedule crashing with various methods. This crashing planning is done by combining the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Time-Cost Trade-Off (TCTO) method for the minimum cost in crash duration calculation. Project A data is used to be a case studi in crash duration calculation and costs increase. Rescheduling with CPM result project completion time 120 days and after crashing project duration becomes 94 days, there was a reduction 26 days project completion time. Crashing programme are do to 18 activities from 30 critical activies rescheduling with CPM result. Total project costs changes is Rp. 19.923.466,- due working time addition (overtime) to reduce project time with Time Cost Trade Off method. Normal condition project costs is Rp. 985,171,182.52 and after duration crash becomes Rp. 1,005,094,648, -.

Project scheduling is an important task in project management which monitors the project duration, resource utilization and affects the benefit of project for all kinds of project such as construction, IT, renewable energy, product design and manufacturing etc. Among many methods for project management, critical path method (CPM) is one of the better-known planning and control techniques in project scheduling. In this study, CPM-based computerized program was developed together with modeling of step by step calculations of parameters of interest such as earliest starts and finishes, slack and float times of project activities resulting in determination of critical path for the project. One advantage of computer implementation of CPM using MATLAB in this study is that unlike conventional method, it eliminates necessity to conventionally draw network diagram to perform critical path analysis.

The critical path method (CPM) has been useful for project planning, yet its float calculation errors in cases of complex schedules hinders its ability to provide decision supports during project control, namely corrective actions and forensic analysis of schedules. To improve project control, this paper enhances the critical path segments (CPS) scheduling technique and incorporates a rich visualization of all as-built events made by all parties, including work stops, accelerations, and rework. Its improved critical path calculation incorporates the decision variables used at the project control stage such as revised construction methods. It also uses a modified float calculation with forward-pass only to avoid float errors. A case study is used to demonstrate the proposed technique and its benefits for project control. This research has the potential to revolutionize scheduling computations to resolve CPM drawbacks and provide decision support capabilities to help improve project planning and control.

The guiding principles of project implementation are planning. The discrepancy in time, cost, and quality between the plan and the actual implementation of the project requires management decisions supported by an analysis of the optimization of the duration of the project and the search for reserves to reduce the implementation time. For this purpose, a basic PERT model for a specific project was developed, early and late deadlines for work, time reserves, and a critical path were calculated. This work is aimed at applying methods of evaluation and analysis of projects to find optimal solutions and control the efficiency of time and costs in project planning, by varying the work on the project and the executors of the work. The results of this study showed that there are quite large time reserves for works 5-7, 7-9, 6-9, etc., which makes it possible to redistribute work between performers and allows you to vary performers during the implementation of several projects simultaneously.
