Scheduling of Empennage Structure Design Project of Indonesia’s Aircraft with Critical Path Method (CPM)

Abstract

Production of the aircraft becomes very important to facilitate many passengers of aircraft in Indonesia in the future. The design of a very complex aircraft requires proper project management. This study aims to perform the best scheduling project of empennage structure design of Indonesia’s aircraft with limited resources. Critical Path Method (CPM) is used to schedule the project based on activity and resource. CPM scheduling results in completion time for activity data for 400 working days. CPM scheduling after assigning human resources results in a longer completion time for 1023.47 working days. CPM scheduling is carried out by reallocating of human resources to produce a shorter completion time, and it results in completion time for 955 working days.
