CYCLONE Modeling Analysis Operation Slab Work Project Conggeang Bridge – Cisumdawu Toll Road Section 5A

Abstract

Construction productivity measures the output generated in the construction process using available resources. In the Indonesian Construction Industry, construction is often carried out inefficiently, resulting in high construction costs, prolonged durations, and substantial waste, leading to low levels of construction productivity. This study aims to enhance construction effectiveness through planning and management aided by model simulations, specifically targeting slab work operations at the Conggeang Bridge Project - Cisumdawu Toll Road Section 5A. The modeling simulation in this study utilizes the CYCLONE model with the assistance of EZSTROBE/STROBOSCOPE and SIMULINK software. This approach provides data on productivity, utilization factor, and average wait time for the operations under review. Based on the obtained data, a productivity and sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify several alternative improvements in the execution of slab work operations on this bridge. The proposed improvements aim to reduce construction costs, implementation duration, and generated waste, thereby increasing overall construction productivity.
