Solutions for the concrete readymix supply shortage on projects in the New Capital (IKN) of Indonesia

Published: Jun 13, 2025

Abstract:

Purpose: The conceptual framework of the research should be able to represent all of the ideal aspects of Readymix Concrete Supply Chain, as it consists of the aspects of Environment, Product, Method, Supply Chain, Time, and Finance. Based on This Research address the main probable cause through Kepner-Tregoe Analysis. Kepner-Tregoe analysis is utilized to assess the whole situation including the caveats for not to analyse in regards to later problem-solving process. After the root cause of the problem is determined, this research also uses the SWOT analysis to gain information in regards to the internal and external factor that may affect the company welfare as it also carries out as considerations to generate alternative solutions.

Research methodology: This research required Subject Matter Experts’ responds based on the Pairwise Comparison in order to achieve the aimed goal of the current problem, as the solution must consider all the solutions criteria. There are five solutions criteria and three alternative solutions proposed by the Subject Matter Experts. The Solutions Criteria are consists of Cost, Flexibility & Adaptability, Schedule, Product Quality, and Supply Chain Reliability, as the three alternative solutions are proposed to solve the concurrent issue. Alternative decision is ranked through Analytical Hierarchy Process to analyze which decision should be feasible for PT XYZ.

Results: The result was to build a new batching plant as the first priority ranking with score of 50,3 % with the considerations of five solutions criteria which are Cost, Flexibility & Adaptability, Schedule, Product Quality, and Supply Chain Reliability. To implement the decisions, it is mandatory to complete the preparation process, risk mitigation, budget planning, and site/location mapping before the executing the plan.
