ABSTRACT The current development of construction projects lead to construction projects being more complex and complicated. The success or failure of a project can be due to inadequate planning and less effective controls, resulting in inefficient projects. This will result in delays, lower quality, and increased implementation costs. All of those problems are expected to be overcome with Presedence diagram method by reducing the impact of delay and swelling of project cost by crashing with applied overtime. Acceleration of duration on the critical path jobs was performed. The results with PDM indicated that the optimal duration of project was 100 days with efficiency time for 20 days or equal to 16,67% and the total cost of Rp 13,060,754,232.00 with cost efficiency equal to Rp 528,158,094.00 or 3,88%.

Effective project management implies the use of advanced planning and scheduling methods that allow to determine feasible sequences of activities and to complete a project on time and on budget. Traditional scheduling tools like fundamental Critical Path Method (CPM) and various methods for Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) and Time Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (TCPSP) have many shortcomings for construction projects where spatial factor plays a critically important role. Previous attempts to interpret space as a specific resource were successful for particular problems of line-of-balance scheduling, space scheduling, dynamic layout planning, horizontal and vertical logic scheduling, workspace congestion mitigating, scheduling multiple projects with movable resources, spatial scheduling of repeated and grouped activities and motion planning. However, none of these methods considers the spatio-temporal requirements in a holistic framework of generic RCPSP problem and provides feasible results accounting for workspace and workflow factors. In this paper we start with the classical RCPSP statement and then present mathematically strong formalisation of the extended generalised problem, taking into account workspace congestion and workflow disturbance constraints specified in practically meaningful and computationally constructive ways. For the generalised RCPSP problem an effective scheduling method is proposed. The method tends to minimise the project makespan while satisfying timing constraints and precedence relations, not exceeding resource utilisation limits, avoiding workspace congestions and keeping workflows continuous. The method reuses so-called serial scheduling scheme and provides for additional computational routines and heuristic priority rules to generate feasible schedules satisfying all the imposed requirements. Advantages of the method and prospects for its application to industrial needs are outlined in the paper too.

Positional Weight

Scheduling of construction projects is normally performed with the critical path method (CPM). The popular CPM/PERT network techniques are based on the assumption that sufficient resources will be available when needed to complete all project activities on schedule. This unrealistic assumption can lead to ineffective resource usage and project delays. For scheduling of the project activities with resource constraints, other algorithms have to be used. This technical note first outlines the suitability of ranked positional weight method (RPWM), a heuristic resource scheduling method, to construction project scheduling. It then focuses on a new heuristic technique, the enhanced positional weight method (EPWM), which is an improved version of the RPWM. Some interesting comparisons between the results given by Primavera, Microsoft Project, RPWM, and EPWM are also presented.Key words: ranked positional weight method, enhanced positional weight method, and critical path method.

The construction of new shipyard in the Cilacap area is one of the best ways to reduce the accumulation of vessels. The construction of shipyard has many risks, one of the risks that can occur during the construction of the shipyard is in terms of cost and time. Project scheduling is a tool to make sure the project finished on time. This paper discusses project scheduling and cost calculation using Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) method for Graving Dock project development in Cilacap. Project scheduling is useful to indicate the relation of each activity to another. This paper will discuss the critical activities during Gravity Dock development and the duration for the whole project using CPM. The next step is to determine the probability of the completing project that can be finished within the time frame using PERT. Based on the CPM analysis, the probability of Graving Dock project can be finished in 204 days is 79,81 %. The total cost for Graving Dock project in Cilacap is Rp. 6.486.122.769.

This study aims to know the planning to control the project activities during the implementation phase. The success rate or failure of a project leads to less mature planning and less effective controls, resulting in project delays, increased implementation costs and lower quality. To set the time for completion of the project to be more effective and efficient can use PERT and CPM methods so as to reduce the impact of delays and swelling of implementation costs. The PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) method is a method that aims to reduce as much as possible delays, Production, and coordinate various parts of a job thoroughly and accelerate the completion of the project. While the CPM method is a method of planning and control projects that have cost data in the past. Based on the analysis results show the initial duration of the project with duration of 180 days (6 months) with the total cost of Rp. 73.599253,59. As a result of overtime work system, the duration of its activities to be 164 days with project cost of Rp. 55,089,267.07.

Background: Building construction projects have very complex activities, so they require precise and accurate methods of scheduling and control. Using the right method, the project executor can carry out the project according to plan and any schedule deviations can be controlled effectively. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of using the bar chart/S-curve and computerized precedence diagram method (PDM) on scheduling and controlling building construction projects. Methods: The use of the two methods and their effectiveness during project work were analysed using a survey directed to building construction workers. Results: A total of 50 workers completed the survey. The use of PDM (using Microsoft Project) was significantly more effective than the bar chart/S-curve method in scheduling building construction projects (t count 15.516> t table 2.660) and controlling building construction projects (t count 17.233> t table 2.660). In addition, PDM was associated with allowing the project to find the critical path more quickly, overcoming project delays more effectively. Conclusions: By using PDM, a on a building construction project’s schedule for the implementation of the work can be changed immediately, if there is a delay or deviation of work. The findings of this study are useful for construction service companies and the development of construction management science in civil engineering study programs.

Positional Weight

Construction projects are commonly scheduled by the critical path method or its similar methods, with the assumption that resources are unlimited. The ranked positional weight method, which may be used for project scheduling and resource allocation for both constrained and unconstrained resource scheduling, is found to be relatively easy in application. In construction, the availability of resources is sometimes limited and this leads to an extension of project duration. The critical path method and similar approaches cannot provide an answer in this scenario. A bridge construction project is used to illustrate how the method can be applied.Key words: scheduling, resource allocation, ranked positional weight method.

Project is any work that has a beginning and ending, consisting of several jobs/activities that must be carried out in a certain order. Contractors typically use the Gantt Chart Method in scheduling home construction projects so that it is difficult to know the impact caused by the late completion of work on scheduling the entire project. The purpose of this study is to determine the time needed to complete two housing units using the Precedence Diagram Method and the Line of Balance Method. The data used in this research are the dependency relationship between activities, time schedule, cost analysis plan (RAB), and SNI unit price analysis. The analysis process carried out in this study is to calculate the time needed to complete two housing units using two methods, namely the Precedence Diagram Method and the Line of Balance method. The results of this study indicate the time needed to build two housing units using the Precedence Diagram Method 7 days faster than using the Line of Balance Method.

Cost overrun in construction projects is a common phenomenon in Iraq. This might occur due to diversity of factors. This study aims to identify the factors influencing construction projects cost that are potentially controllable by main contractors. A field study through a questionnaire survey was directed to a sample of related Iraqi professional engineers from general contracting companies at both public and private sectors. Their opinions on the impact and frequency of each factor were investigated. The questionnaire offered (59) factors classified in (8) categories namely; legislations, financial and economic, design, contractual, site management, material, labor and equipment. The factors were ranked according to the highest Relative Importance Index (RII). The study revealed (10) major factors that are potentially controllable by main contractors namely; labor productivity, sub-contractors and suppliers performance, equipment productivity, site organization and distribution of equipment, experience and training of project managers, scheduling and control techniques, planning for materials supply, planning for equipment supply, materials delivery and planning for skilled labor recruitment. Recommendations to aid contractors and owners in early identification of these factors are also included in this study.
