<![CDATA[Construction projects consist of a series of interconnected activities; consequently, delays in specific activities can impact the project's overall completion time. The Junior Staff Camp construction project at the Thiess KBU site experienced delays relative to the planned schedule, necessitating an acceleration strategy to mitigate these delays. This study aims to analyze the implementation of a "Crash Program" method—specifically by increasing the workforce for critical path activities using Primavera P6—and to evaluate the resulting changes in project duration and labor requirements. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing actual project data such as planned and actual schedules, work progress, work volumes, activity durations, activity dependencies, and workforce data. The analysis involved identifying delays, determining the critical path, selecting activities suitable for acceleration, calculating durations following workforce increases, and rescheduling using Primavera P6. The results indicate a planned project duration of 88 days, whereas the actual duration reached 122 days, representing a 34-day delay. Five critical activities—A7030, A7130, A7190, A7210, and A7520—were selected for acceleration through the addition of four workers. Rescheduling results showed a reduction in project duration to 109 days, achieving a 13-day (10.66%) acceleration, alongside an increase in peak manpower from 27 to 31 workers. Although the Crash Program scenario successfully reduced the delay, it was unable to restore the project duration to the original planned schedule.]]>
