Track: Project Management

Abstract

Traditional shipyards in East Java, Indonesia have produced a lot of wooden boats. The performance of schedule and cost are the most critical in the boat building process. In this study, we aim to evaluate the performance of project management at traditional shipyard by using the S-curve, schedule performance index, and cost performance index. Based on the overall performance, the results showed that the boat building project still spent more cost than the budgeted costs and completes the boat building activities less than had been planned. The biggest gap between planning and realization is in the hull construction activities, frame installation, and hatch installation. Several caused factors are only a few people who are proficient in bending process, no special precision tools in bending process, and simple equipment/manually usage. This paper provides a new insight for calculating more than one boatbuilding project in S-curve. Future research could be done by sensitivity analysis for tolerated day’s number of each activity in manufacturing process in order to gain the good CPI and SPI values.
