Optimization of project duration and constraint resource using monte carlo method

Optimization of project duration and constraint resource using monte carlo method / Yap Han Yin
Pengunaan pemantauan jadual dan kawalan merupakan alat pengurusan dan program pengurusan yang penting. Alat-alat ini adalah untuk mengelakkan kegagalan dalam pembinaan bangunan yang boleh menjejaskan prestasi projek pembinaan. Kajian ini mengkaji pendekatan sebagai alternative untuk mengira laluan kritikal dalam projek pembinaan dengan menggunakan Monte Carlo Simulation kaedah untuk menentukan kritikal aktiviti, kemungkinan tempoh penyiapan projek dan juga menganggarkan jumlah kos projek pada projek yang sebenar di Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang. Kaedah laluan kritikal menunjukkan hubungan antara aktiviti dan penjadualan aktiviti pembinaan. Walau bagaimanapun, analisis CPM adalah satu proses berketentuan yang tidak mengambil kira pembolehubah rawak. Oleh itu, analisis lanjut menggunakan Primavera P6 untuk menjana hasil CPM serta menggunakan Microsoft Excel untuk mensimulasikan kritikal daripada aktiviti dan kos untuk setiap aktiviti. Perbandingan Kaedah Laluan Kritikal konvensional dengan Monte Carlo Simulation menunjukkan hasil yang lebih realistik yang berhampiran dengan projek sebenar. Sumber kekangan dianggar menggunakan Monte Carlo Simulation supaya kedua-dua hasil dalam aspek masa dan aspek kekangan boleh dibandingkan dan dioptimumkan untuk memberikan tempoh penyiapan paling lama dengan kos yang minimum. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The use of schedule monitoring and control is an important management tools and program management. Tools are available to prevent failure in construction of building that can affect the performance of the construction project. This study reviews as alternative approach to calculate the critical path in a construction project by using Monte Carlo Simulation Method to determine the criticality of the activities, forecast a most probable completion duration of a project as well as estimate the total cost of the project on a real project in Bayan Lepas, Penang. Critical Path Methods provides interrelationships of activities and scheduling of construction activities. However, CPM analysis is a deterministic process which does not account random variables. Thus, further analysis using Primavera P6 to generate CPM results as well as using Microsoft Excel to simulate the criticality of the activities and the cost of each activities. Comparing the conventional Critical Path Method with Monte Carlo Simulation Method, Monte Carlo Simulation Method shows more realistic results which close to the actual project progress. The restraint resources is estimated using Monte Carlo Simulation Method so that both result in duration wise and resource wise can be compared and optimized to provide a longest probable completion duration with minimum cost.
