Implementation project management concept for installing devices of auto part assembly line

Abstract

Nowadays, project management is an approach used to meet the organization goals and objectives. Project time management is an important part of managing a project. Good project time management can be the key to gain a competitive advantage of the organization. Currently, the study’s organization have problem in controlling the project time. The objective of this research is to improve project time management and deliver project on time. This research applied project time management follow the project management body of knowledge guideline in installing devices of auto part assembly line project. Tools and techniques used in this study were decomposition, precedence diagramming method (PDM), dependency determination, lead and lag, expert judgement, analogous estimating, reserve analysis, critical path method (CPM), duration compression, and resource levelling. Moreover, Microsoft Project was used to support project plan development and control project schedule. Project schedule was presented in form of Gantt chart and milestone chart. S-curve technique was applied to evaluate the project performance. The result of the study shows that the implementation of project management body of knowledge concept can improve project time management of installing devices of auto part assembly line project.
