In project planning, the process of determining optimum duration is an important step. This research was conducted on library building project of State Islamic Institute of Samarinda. The construction of this building demands acceleration due to the urgency of need, after experiencing 9 days delay on bore pile work. This study aimed to analyze the duration of required time acceleration by fast track work performance and analyze the total cost of the project after the fast track. This research was done by arranging material from related books and field survey results. The method of problem solving was Fast Track method. Based on the research results, it was known that the use of fast track method in the construction work of State Islamic Institute of Samarinda's library building can save time as much as 9 working days from the total normal day of 60 working days or about 15 % of the implementation time. Implementation of fast track method to accelerate the construction of State Islamic Institute of Samarinda's library building had enabled savings of Rp.27.300.000,00 from the total cost of the physical work implementation as much as Rp. 5.458.455.157,30. This amount is equal to 0.50 % of the overall cost. This acceleration of work did not increase the cost of physical work, and even can save indirect costs. However, to maximize the implementation of fast track method in the field, it required good management and qualified workers, as well as optimal control of the work implementation.

“…Three years later, in 2001, Peña-Mora and Li [30] developed a dynamic planning and control methodology by integrating axiomatic design, concurrent engineering, the graphical evaluation and review technique (GERT) and system dynamics modelling. The major contribution of this work was the inclusion of a probabilistic view of activity overlaps.…”

Fast-tracking a project involves carrying out sequential activities in parallel, partially overriding their original order of precedence, to reduce the overall project duration. The current predominant mathematical models of fast-tracking are based on the concepts of activity sensitivity, evolution, dependency and, sometimes, information exchange uncertainty, and aim to determine optimum activity overlaps. However, these models require some subjective inputs from the scheduler and most of them neglect the merge event bias.In this paper, a stochastic model for schedule fast-tracking is proposed. Relevant findings highlight the existence of a pseudo-physical barrier that suggests that the possibility of shortening a schedule by more than a quarter of its original duration is highly unlikely. The explicit non-linear relationship between cost and overlap has also been quantified for the first time. Finally, manual calculations using the new model are compared with results from a Genetic Algorithm through a case study.

“…Consequently, the dependency relationships between design and construction tasks need to be analyzed and served as the overlapping relationships so that a DB project can be logically partitioned into concurrent design and construction phases. Some related researches are useful and referred for creating the fast-tracking model [5][6][7]. By applying dependency structure matrix (DSM), the Analytical Design Planning Technique (ADePT) was addressed by Austin [7] to analyze the information dependencies between design activities, and provided an appropriate mechanism to schedule a design process.…”
