  Project construction: a series of activities that are only implemented once and generally have a short time (the start and end of the project is relatively certain).

           The project has three characteristics:
1. Unique: never the exact same sequence of activities, the project cycle is temporary, the schedule and cost are determined, and involved various different human resources.
2. Resources are needed: resources involved in the project: workers, money, machines (manchines), methods and materials (materials).
3. Organization: each organization has diverse objectives in which it engages a number of individuals with varying expertise, diversity of interests, varied personalities and uncertainties.
  Management: a process to utilize human resources and other resources to achieve certain objectives, so that objectives are achieved efficiently / effectively and effectively / results.
 Resources: generally resources are grouped into 5 groups, namely: human (men), material (material), machinery, methods and money.
    Resources are generally available in limited quantities so that it is an obstacle to the achievement of objectives, and with the constraint management process can be overcome so that the objectives are guaranteed to be achieved.
Other constraints in achieving the objectives: time, natural conditions, socio-political conditions, market conditions and so forth.
 Project Activity: A temporary activity that lasts for a limited time, with a certain allocation of resources.
  Project Management: A management process of a project from start to finish of the project to achieve the project objectives well, on time, as required and at the cost provided.

Project Types
1. Construction Engineering Project: The main activity components consist of feasibility assessment, design, procurement and construction.
2. Manufacturing Engineer Project: A manufacturing project is a process to produce a new product, its main activities include engineering design, product development, procurement, manufacturing, assembly, test function and product operation.
3. Project Research and Development: Aims to conduct research and development in order to produce a particular product.
4. Project Management Feasibility: Not produce products in physical form but in the form of reports.
5. Capital Project (for investment): Includes land acquisition, land preparation, purchase of materials and equipment.

Project Management "Types of Projects"

Project is a temporary activity. In the process, there is always a limit (time, scope and budget) that affect the successful implementation of the project. Changes to any one factor will affect other factors. All activities in the project is a chain that started from the idea, planned, and implemented, until it really gives results that are in accordance with the original plan.

In everyday life, we can see various types of project activities. The types of project activities are broadly related to the assessment of economic, financial, environmental issues, engineering design, marketing, manufacturing, and others. However, in reality, we can not divide the project into one particular type, because in general the project activity is a combination of several types of activities at once. However, when viewed from the most dominant activity performed on a project, we can categorize the project as follows:

Construction Engineering Project, the most dominant activities undertaken are feasibility assessment, engineering design, procurement and construction.
The engineering project of Manufacture, the activity of this project covers all the activity that is to produce new products.
The Project Management Services, the main activities in the project are designing management information systems, designing efficiency and savings programs, diversifying, combining and taking over, providing emergency assistance to affected areas, designing strategies to reduce crime and drug use, other.
Research and Development Project, the main activities undertaken include conducting research and development of a particular product.
Capital Projects, the activities undertaken are usually used by a corporation or government, such as land acquisition, land preparation and material purchase.

BACKGROUND

Projects are temporary activities that take place within a certain timeframe, with limited resource allocation and are intended to carry out a predetermined task.

In project management, there is a complex interaction between human factors, materials, equipment, methods, and capital. Therefore, in order for the project to run well and meet the above criteria, it requires good planning (realistic) and controls that can minimize deviations (variance).

In this training will be discussed Microsoft Project applications in project planning and control. Training will be done by completing a comprehensive case example.

OBJECTIVES

Understand the project strategy and organization
Understand the planning, scheduling and control of project costs
Able to use computer applications in project management
Discussion of cases occurring during the project and post-project period
This training is not only a mere theory, but rather a workshop so that after the training, participants can have something that can be implemented in the workplace
