Analysis of the Time Control of the Implementation of the Crashing Method Project in the Andongrejo – Bandialit Road Improvement Project, Jember Regency

Abstract

ANDONGREJO – BANDIALET ROAD JEMBER REGENCY and as the Implementing Contractor is PT. RAJENDRA PRATAMA JAYA with a contract value of IDR 14,050,000,000 (Fourteen Billion Fifty Million Rupiah) and was carried out within a period of 181 days. In the implementation of the construction project of ANDONGREJO – BANDIALET ROAD IMPROVEMENT JEMBER REGENCY there were obstacles due to the influence of weather and other technical matters, The method used to speed up the duration of a project in foreign terms is crashing. The terminology of the crashing process is to reduce the duration of a job which will affect the project completion time. Crashing is a deliberate, systematic and analytical process by evaluating all activities in a project that are centered on activities that are on a critical path. The results  of the study concluded that the addition of manpower to accelerate the duration of the project (crashing) from 21 days to 16 days led to a gradual increase in the total cost even though the indirect costs decreased. This is due to the addition of labor costs that increase every day as the process accelerates the duration. Although the cost slope per crash activity remained flat (IDR 2,769.79), the total project cost increased from IDR 634,595,472.00 at a duration of 21 days to IDR 634,669,270.25 at a duration of 16 days, indicating that time efficiency does not necessarily result in total cost savings, as the additional labor costs are greater than the indirect cost reductions.
