IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CPM METHOD IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT OF THE SURABAYA “X” HOSPITAL HEALTH CHECKUP

Abstract

The process of planning to project control during the execution of construction work is an important activity of a
project. A project can be said to be a success or a failure caused by ineffective planning and control, so project
activities fail. so there will be a delays, decreased quality, and increased implementation costs. A project is limited
by a predetermined time and cost so management in the project must be able to anticipate changing conditions
that occur. The Critical Path Method abbreviated CPM method can be applied to manage project completion time
more efficiently and effectively. To be able to reduce the impact of project delays and cost overruns through a
crash calculation mechanism with three alternative controls; additional labor or overtime work. Duration
acceleration is carried out on jobs that are on the critical path and with the cheapest costs. In this study, the total
project age was 277 calendar days, while the project deadline was 284 calendar days, thus the project was
delayed for 7 calendar days with a total fine of Rp 25.242.944.400 and penalty cost is 1/1.000 for sum of contract.
In this study the CPM method is intended to shorten the life of the project so that it can be completed in accordance
with the predetermined time limit and determine the age of project in accordance with the existing contract, using
CPM the project life can be shortened to 257 working days with an budget efficiency Rp. 176,700,611
