Study of the Use of Primavera P6 Computer Program for Planning and Cost Planning for Construction Project Management

Abstract

This research aims to study the use of Primavera P6 program in planning the duration and cost of construction projects by analyzing the quantity of work, materials, labor and machinery from BOQ (Bill of Quantities) for planning and comparing costs. including using project performance indicators such as BCWP, BCWS, ACWP, CPI, SPI, CV, SV to assess the value and efficiency of the project from project simulation in 4 phases, found that 1. The project progressed 25%, BCWS value = 20,341,803.04 baht, SV value = -20,038,557.54 baht, CV value = -109,491,703.68 baht 2. The project progressed 50%, BCWS value = 33,980,146 baht, SV value = 6,180,297.5 baht, CV value = -108,137,343.72 baht 3. The project progressed 75%, BCWS value = 94,905,240.52 baht, SV value = 11,986,476.95 baht, CV value = -90,474,325.45 baht 4. The project progressed. 100% BCWS = 109,794,949.18 THB SV = 0.00 THB CV = -83,198,409.53 THB The results of this study show that Primavera P6 can help to make the planning and monitoring of construction projects more efficient by estimating the actual cost compared to the planned cost to improve the project management for maximum benefit.
