Abstract

A project is a business or activity that is complex, non-routine, limited by time, budget, resources and performance specifications designed to meet consumer needs. The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) construction project in Pulau Pinang Village, which has a capacity of 50L/SPAM, affects access under public roads. Therefore, this research was carried out to speed up project time using the Time Cost Trade-Off Analysis (TCTO) method. TCTO is an analysis method used to speed up project completion time by compressing the schedule to get a more profitable project in terms of time (duration) and cost. TCTO analysis uses the Crashing method, assisted by Microsoft Project 2016 software. The research results show that the standard time to complete a project is 180 days, and after accelerating with a Crash time, the minimum project completion time becomes 147 days; while accelerating with a Crash time, the maximum project completion becomes 140 days. Alternative improvements based on critical hotspots in this research use maximum crashing. This result is evidenced by the efficiency of reducing the total project cost by 0.36%, namely IDR 26,709,375.38 and the efficiency of reducing the total project time by 22.2%, namely 40 days.
