Abstract


ABSTRAK: Pengelolaan persediaan material yang efisien sangat penting dalam proyek konstruksi untuk menghindari keterlambatan, pembengkakan biaya, serta kekurangan dan kelebihan material. Penelitian ini menyelidiki optimalisasi pengelolaan persediaan material menggunakan metode Material Requirements Planning (MRP), dengan fokus pada teknik Lot Sizing—Lot for Lot (LFL) dan Part Period Balancing (PPB). Studi kasus dilakukan pada pembangunan Kantor Kementerian Agama di Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini menargetkan material beton bertulang, seperti semen, pasir, dan besi tulangan, yang merupakan bahan penting bagi proyek tersebut. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui observasi lapangan dan wawancara, sementara data sekunder diperoleh dari dokumentasi proyek, termasuk Bill of Materials (BOM), jadwal, dan rincian biaya. Dengan menggunakan MRP, penelitian ini menghitung kebutuhan material, jadwal pengadaan, dan biaya untuk teknik LFL dan PPB. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teknik LFL secara signifikan mengurangi biaya dan meningkatkan efisiensi dibandingkan dengan metode PPB. Pada lantai pertama, teknik LFL menghasilkan penghematan biaya sekitar 51,9% dibandingkan dengan metode PPB. Demikian pula, untuk lantai kedua, penghematan biaya sekitar 72,2%. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa teknik LFL merupakan teknik yang optimal untuk pengelolaan persediaan material dalam proyek konstruksi, memastikan ketersediaan material tepat waktu dan biaya penyimpanan minimal. Temuan ini memberikan kerangka praktis untuk meningkatkan efisiensi pengadaan dan menawarkan wawasan berharga bagi proyek konstruksi di masa depan yang ingin mengurangi biaya dan meningkatkan keandalan penjadwalan.


ABSTRACT: Efficient material inventory management is critical in construction projects to avoid delays, cost overruns, and both shortages and surpluses of materials. This study investigates the optimization of material inventory management using the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) method, focusing on Lot Sizing techniques—Lot for Lot (LFL) and Part Period Balancing (PPB). A case study was conducted on the construction of the Ministry of Religious Affairs Office in Banda Aceh. The research targeted reinforced concrete materials, such as cement, sand, and rebar, which are crucial for the project. Primary data was collected through field observations and interviews, while secondary data was obtained from project documentation, including the Bill of Materials (BOM), schedules, and cost breakdowns. Using MRP, the study calculated material requirements, procurement schedules, and costs for both LFL and PPB techniques. The findings revealed that the LFL technique significantly reduces costs and improves efficiency compared to the PPB method. For the first floor, the LFL technique resulted in a cost saving of approximately 51.9% compared to the PPB method. Similarly, for the second floor, the cost savings were around 72.2%. This study concluded that LFL is the optimal technique for material inventory management in construction projects, ensuring timely availability and minimal storage costs. These findings provided a practical framework for improving procurement efficiency and offered valuable insights for future construction projects seeking to reduce costs and enhance scheduling reliability.
