Abstract

Construction project efficiency is the key to success amid budget pressures and cost inflation. Value Engineering (VE) is a systematic solution to balance cost, reliability, and project performance. Pareto analysis identified four main works for optimization: walls, frames, floors, and ceilings with cost/worth ratio >1. Alternative solutions included AAC/HEBEL walls, PVC sills, unpolished homogenius tile, and PVC ceiling. The implementation of Value Engineering resulted in significant savings in walls (38.63%), frames (24.21%), ceilings (46.62%), and floors (39.74%). The total savings reached Rp1.481.761.485,10 (38,52% of the initial cost), with Life Cycle Cost as the main consideration.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the application of Lean Construction methods to reduce waste in construction projects in West Java. Inefficiencies often arise from seven types of waste: waiting, inventory, motion, overproduction, inappropriate processing, transportation, and defects. Data were collected through a quantitative approach, by distributing questionnaires to construction experts in the West Java region. Data analysis utilized a Likert Scale to determine the intensity level of each waste category. From 14 respondents, the two highest waste categories were Waiting (weather disturbances) and Transportation (the distance of suppliers to the project site). Root cause analysis was conducted using the 5 Why method with experienced respondents. The main issues identified were poor planning, inefficient logistics, and improper supplier selection.

Abstract

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly through ChatGPT, offers significant convenience but also raises ethical concerns related to autonomy, responsibility, and authenticity. This study critically examines AI usage through the lens of existentialist philosophy. Using qualitative methods and literature review, it explores the views of Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, and Søren Kierkegaard to analyze the ethical implications of AI for human existence. The findings suggest that AI use must align with personal freedom and responsibility. ChatGPT is not merely a tool but a medium that can shape human authenticity and may lead to existential alienation if uncritically used. Thus, ethical awareness and philosophical reflection are essential in navigating AI’s role in modern life.

Abstract

Organizational commitment refers to the emotional bond, loyalty, and sense of obligation an employee feels toward their organization. This study investigates the influence of the work setting on organizational dedication, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating element. The research was carried out at the Bali Regional Development Bank (BPD Bali), Badung Branch, involving 45 employees selected through a census approach. Data were obtained through questionnaires and interviews, then analyzed using Path Analysis and the Sobel Test. The findings reveal that the workplace atmosphere and employee satisfaction both have a beneficial and substantial impact on commitment to the organization. Moreover, the work atmosphere positively influences job satisfaction, which then facilitates the connection between the work atmosphere and commitment to the organization.  These results align with social exchange theory,  suggesting that improving the workplace atmosphere and employee satisfaction may lead to greater commitment among staff.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of a repeatedly implemented tax amnesty policy on the level of tax compliance and state revenue in Indonesia. Tax is the main source of state revenue and plays a crucial role in funding development and public services. However, low tax compliance is a serious challenge for the national tax system. The Indonesian government has implemented tax amnesty several times as an effort to improve compliance and broaden the tax base. Although this policy provides short-term benefits in the form of increased revenue. Research results show that repeating tax amnesty can actually reduce long-term tax compliance and create negative expectations among taxpayers. Taxpayers tend to postpone their obligations in the hope that there will be another tax amnesty, which ultimately has a negative impact on the stability of state revenues.

Abstract

The selection of structural materials plays a crucial role in determining cost efficiency and construction time in building construction projects. This study aims to analyze and compare the construction costs of reinforced concrete and steel structures in the construction of the Modern Islamic Boarding School An-Nizam in Purwokerto. A quantitative comparative method was used by calculating the volume of work, construction cost estimates (RAB), and project duration for both types of structures. The analysis focused on main structural elements such as columns and beams, based on detailed drawings, unit price standards, and project technical data. Based on the calculations and analysis of this project, it can be concluded that the total construction cost for the reinforced concrete structure is Rp 8,983,363,148.58. Meanwhile, the total construction cost for the steel structure is Rp 8,445,489,989.60. The duration of the steel construction work is 19-20 weeks, and the duration of the concrete structure construction work is 25-30 weeks. Therefore, it can be concluded that from this case study, the total cost required for concrete structure construction is cheaper than steel structure construction by a difference of Rp 537,873,158.98. However, the duration of steel structure construction is faster than concrete construction, with a difference of 6-10 weeks.
