Accelerate the Implementation Time of Kadiri University Clinic Constructions Projects Using Critical Path Method (CPM)

Abstract

The efficiency of project implementation time becomes one of the efforts in optimizing the use of implementation time. CPM is one of the network methods used to determine the critical path of each implementation. This research aims to optimize Time by applying CPM methods in the Kadiri University Clinic construction project in Kediri. The project consists of 2 floors with 12 essential items of work. The implementation time of the project is planned to be complete for 134 days. The data used in this study form a project schedule (Gantt chart). From the data, analysis of the sequence of implementation using the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) method and carried out the calculation of earliest start (ES), latest start (LS), earliest finish (EF), and latest finish (LF). Critical paths are known from slack/float calculations and are depicted in the form of network diagrams. From the analyses, it is known that the project can be complete within 71 days. The results were 63 days earlier than planned. With the use of the CPM method in project scheduling, optimal timing and critical implementation are found. So that it can be used as a reference in the performance of the project implementation.
