The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, where data is collected through literature studies, field observations, and analysis of project documents such as plan drawings and weekly reports. Data analysis techniques include calculating several indicators, including Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), and Variance at Completion (VAC). The results showed that in weeks one to nine, the project ran according to the planned schedule, but there was a delay between weeks ten to nineteen. In the twentieth to twenty-fourth week, the project made progress again. The effectiveness of project time and cost control was obtained with a score value of 1.603, which indicates that project control is very effective. Based on these results, it is recommended that the implementing contractor compile detailed daily reports to monitor cost overruns and anticipate existing risks. The use of Earned Value method can be combined with other methods to maximize project control. In addition, logistics, equipment, and resource management should be considered to prevent unwanted problems.

Introduction An assignment is a task that needs to be finished within a specific timeframe and budget in order to accomplish the intended outcomes originally. A project can also be defined as a series of actions or work that is planned and carried out to achieve a specific goal within a certain period of time (Nurtsani et al., 2017; Rahmanto & Janizar, 2022). Planning, execution, supervision, and completion are parts of projects that usually involve limited resources, such as budget and manpower (Ndunguru, 2023). Examples of projects include scientific research, infrastructure development, and software development. In the process of implementing a project, there are several obstacles or barriers that often occur. These include an insufficient amount of resources (cost, people, and equipment), the experience of the implementation team with the type of project at hand, and their expertise in using equipment. Some of these factors can cause delays or deviations from the plan (Anwar & Hayati, 2013; Kartikasari, 2014; Widayanti et al., 2017). Inadequate project management can lead to substantial setbacks in planning and increased expenses during implementation. Employing the concept of earned value, also known as EV, is a method utilized to supervise both time and cost in a project (Pahalawan, 2014; Wijaya & Hartati, 2016). The concept of earned value involves determining a budget by taking into account the progress made in completing the work. Performance can be measured Copyright: © 2025 by the authors.

Thus, the relationship between the budget spent and the physical progress achieved can be known in the future (Ariana & Lestari, 2023). Work completion time is very important during project implementation. The way in which work is carried out, the allocation of manpower, and the accuracy of material inventory forecasting all play a role in determining the duration of a project. Project control methods are needed to overcome the problem of work delays. The Earned Value method is a control that can be used. The technique known as earned value analysis is utilized to evaluate the progress and effectiveness of project costs and schedules. This approach facilitates the assessment of project progress, provides insights on project duration, predicts project expenses, and identifies discrepancies promptly (Mughni et al., 2024). Therefore, there is a need to implement a technique to enhance the efficiency of overseeing and managing project tasks. One approach that addresses the aforementioned issues is the Earned Value Method. This technique is employed to evaluate how well a project is performing in regards to expenses and timing, to forecast the remaining costs of the project after the review period, and to predict the final cost of the project after the review period (Irniawan et al., 2024). Situbondo Regency has an area of 1,638.50 km2, or 163,850 ha, and is located on the north coast of the Horseshoe region, East Java, approximately 150 km from west to east. Situbondo is the capital of Situbondo District. Of the total sub-districts, 13 are located in coastal areas. Sumbermalang sub-district has an altitude of 100-1,223 meters above sea level, and Banyuputih sub-district has the largest area, 481.67 km2. In 2019, climatic conditions recorded the highest rainfall of 3,549 milli/meter in December, with 16 most frequent rainy days. Situbondo Regency is located at 7°35'-7°44' South latitude and 113°30'-114°42' East longitude. Situbondo Regency originally had Situbondo as its capital and was known as Panarukan Regency. During the Dutch administration of Governor General Daendels, who built a forced labor road along the north coast of Java, the road was called "Jalan Anyer - Panarukan" or better known as "Jalan Daendels". However, during the administration of Regent Achmad Tahir (± 1972), the name was changed to Situbondo Regency. In general, Situbondo Regency is a lowland with a slope between 0o and 45°. Most of the area is well flooded, with 1,629.03 km2 (99.42%) never flooded, while 0.78 km2 (0.05%) is sometimes flooded and 8.69 km2 (0.53%) is always flooded. Situbondo Regency can be divided into three regions based on their potential and geographical conditions. The northern region, located by the coast and sea, has great potential for fisheries development, including fish farming and fishing; the central region, which has a flat topography, has potential for agriculture; and the southern region, which has a sloping topography, has potential for plantations and forestry. One of the bridges in Situbondo is the Bagor Bridge that connects the two regions. These bridges are usually built to facilitate public transportation and improve accessibility.
