Performance Evaluation of Project Management Using System Dynamic Approach, Case Study: EPCC LNG Filling Station Cargo Dock Project

Abstract

Time delays are a common phenomenon in construction projects. The Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning (EPCC) LNG Filling Station Cargo Dock Project, the second company service in the technical service business segment in EPCC Project, was delayed by 8.98% at the end of the project. A system dynamic (SD) approach is proposed to simulate the interaction of delay factors to provide lesson learned and preventive actions so that the following project enables to completed on time. In this research, the combination of The project management knowledge area and project management process group on PMBOK®, KT-Problem Analysis (PA), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and sensitivity analysis is used to define the delay factors. The delay factors that significantly influence the project are inadequate procurement control, inadequate resource planning, incident, late payment, interruption from the client for design, and changing person. The system dynamic (SD) model is proven to find the significant root cause of project delay effectively, resulting in the proper lesson learned and preventive action in the following Company’s project.
