Evaluation of Sport Equipment Procurement Project Scheduling By Implementing Critical Path Method (CPM) and Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

The success or failure a project is largely determined by the planning and control of the project. This research was conducted on a sports equipment procurement project, especially gym equipment at a national company. The main problem with this project was the delay in completing this project for 33 days due to delays in the shipping department which caused delays in the process of subsequent activities. The purpose of this research is to find the optimal time that can be used to minimize delays in project completion. Optimizing working time is quite important for companies in working on projects to avoid wasting resources and losing the trust of their clients. The methods used in this study are the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). The results showed: the CPM method obtained 15 critical activities with a total duration of 239 days from the previous 306 days and the PERT method obtained 13 critical activities with a total duration of 258 days from the previous 306 days. Of the two methods, there is a difference that is 19 days faster with the CPM method. Thus the CPM method is used further for scheduling this project.
