Analysis of Construction Implementation Time and Cost Scheduling by Adjusting Budget Changes Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic (Case Study on the Randugunting Dam Construction Project)

Abstract

Abstract The Randugunting Dam, located in Blora Regency, is planned to have a capacity of 10.40 million m and is expected to irrigate an area of 630 Ha, providing a raw water supply of 0.15 m/second. The construction activity of the Randugunting Dam is one of the construction works that has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, namely cash flow is hampered. Therefore we need an analysis of cash flow management scenarios and determining strategies for handling the impact of the pandemic on implementation. The data used in this study is the result of interviews with the project implementation team for the Randugunting Dam construction, and data on the project cost budget. Cash flow management analysis is carried out by applying 3 scenarios, namely: scenario 1 (fixed time), scenario 2 (slowed down time), and scenario 3 (accelerated time). The analysis was carried out with the help of the Microsoft Project 2010. The determination of the handling strategy in this study used the DSS (Decision Support System) method, and the SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat). The results of the study chose scenario 3, which is to speed up the time of 6 months. Acceleration is done by increasing the working time. The annual cost required is higher than scenario 1 (fixed time) and 2 (delayed time by 7 months), but the building is completed faster and can be used immediately. The strategy generated by SWOT analysis is Diversity Strategy and produces 8 (eight) strategies. Diversity Strategy is a strategy by maximizing internal strength factors (S), namely increasing the internal capabilities of project implementers and avoiding external threat factors (T), especially related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
