2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

We have been assigned to perform a work schedule using Gantt chart and Arrow
on node (AON) method as well as identification of critical path (CPM) for the purpose of
the studies. The floor plan taken was from a project from Kimlun Sdn Bhd from Johor
Bahru. The project proposal was done on April 2008 and it was a building of
multipurpose hall in Taman Desa Skudai, Skudai Johor Bahru area. The purpose of these
multipurpose hall constructed was to provide improved facilities to the housing area
located around these hall for them to conduct any activities. The location of the project is
shown in the Figure 1 and 2 below.

From the map, it is shown that the hall was surround with housing area and
university area. Here some description about the construction company of this project.
Kimlun Sdn Bhd (“KLSB”) was incorporated in Malaysia on 21 October 1977 as a
private limited company under the name of Kimlun Earthworks Sdn Bhd. Subsequently,
on 22 October 1994, the company changed its name to Kimlun Sdn Bhd. KLSB has
expand its business from being involved in building construction and infrastructure
projects to an engineering and construction service provider. KLSB is currently involved
in larger scale building and infrastructure construction projects in Johor Bahru and the
Klang Valley, either as main contractor or sub-contractor, or teams up with public listed
companies, government-linked corporations or other main contractors, to secure projects
by participating in open tenders or invitations from the customers to tender for projects.
For the purpose of studies, we then calculate the total fomrwork from this engineering
drawing. The calculation of formwork is very important because it is a benchmark for
any structural design for it to have adequate strenght to resist failure and will not deflect
easily when the forms are filled.

This building is designed as “Rumah Sukan”, for sports purposes. This building structure
is made up of concrete and steel. The shape, plan view and detailing are shown in the
both architecture and structural drawings obtained from the company. This building is a
closed structure because it is surrounded by brick walls. All designs are referring to the
respective standards and specifications, for example, MS 544: Part 2: 2001. The plan
view and detailing of the drawings, detailing of design and part of references are included
in the appendix.

2.1 OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this project is to evaluate the time management of this
project by using Gantt chart method and Arrow on node (AON) to identify the critical
path (CPM).

3.0 PROJECT DETAILS

This project is commenced with the identification of works and using work breakdown
analysis (WBA) to analyze the work breakdown structure (WBS) and the duration of
each WBS are estimated. Followed by the creation of Gantt chart based on the duration of
WBS,
