Abstract: One of aspects plays key important to deliver successful of projects is Project Management. More than 75%
project failed due to the complexity in of the project which are determines how the work should be done and
what the best methodology to implemented. Science and Engineering has been changes from industry 1.0
when the discovery of the steam engine to industry 4.0 as marked as an artificial intelligent engine.
Construction of Hotel Ships that have been more than 105 years old (sailing over the world), required
combination project management methodology to create shipbuilding into an onshore hotel with additional
rooms and other supporting facilities such as reclamation land, swimming pools, massage rooms, Carpark.
Located in Bintan - Lagoi, the application of agile methodology into project implementation becomes
important to break the deadlock in work methods that result in deviations in the S-Curve. Daily monitoring
into work sub-items with analysis per hotel room becomes an important milestone to raise the actual S-curve
close to the S-curve plan.
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
PT CSK Insulation Engineering, as integrated EPC
contractor, specializes services provision of
mechanical & electrical installation, including
insulation and architectural, and construction for
commercial building awarded HVAC, Fire Protection
System, and Plumbing A&A Doulos Phos Hotel. MV
Doulos is a retired cruise ship, the ship has previously
been known as the SS Medina ordered 1913 and
launched 1914 (two years after legendary Titanic ship
was sinking in the North Atlantic Ocean). As-built
weight around 5,426 Gross register tonnage and
conversion into hotel weight raise to 6,818 Gross
tonnage.
Holding the Guinness World Records as The
“World’s Oldest Active Ocean Going Passenger
Ship”, in 2009 end of cruising service and become
scrap ship at dry dock Singapore. Until 2010, MV
Doulos had new owner Mr. Eric Shaw director and
chief executive of BizNaz Resources International Pte
Ltd in Singapore. She renamed as Doulos Phos means
Servant of Light and converting to a luxury hotel. In
2015, with the budget around USD $25 Million,
construction of hotel resort started in reclamation land
around 2,16 acre and consist of 104 rooms, swimming
pools, Jet Spa, Beach Club, Massage cabin,
Amphitheatre, Piano Lounge, and Restaurant.
Project start in august 2017 and planned to be
finished in December 2018. Consist of two area
which are External area and Internal Area. Sequence
of works from external area (exterior phase) and in
parallel certain part of internal area (majority at 1st
floor and Corridor area) , last part is room area
including finishing works called as interior phase. In
first 6 month progress running as per plan (S – Curve),
each progress controlled using weekly plan, and
second 6 month progress running more slowly and
create gap at S- Curve.
The complexity occurred at Alteration and
Addition works of Doulos Phos hotel project when
progress reach interior phase. Each room was unique,
there are no similar rooms within 104 rooms,
decoration, bed location, furniture arrangement, and
even utilities at toilet . Because the interior rooms
perception of owner, consultant and contractor is not
in same line, makes progress even worse.
Projects stop almost more than 3-month, cause
delay, standby workers and increase stress constraint.
As Project manager, reverse project management
methodology needs to enforce. One of project
