The right strategy can help identify areas of improvement and maximize resources, thereby increasing the chances of achieving overall project goals. Periodic evaluation is vital, as it allows teams to adjust their approach based on feedback and results. The application of appropriate performance management tools and techniques will greatly support the effectiveness of improvement strategies, creating a more productive work environment and responsiveness to changing project needs. This research aims to measure the performance of the ABC project and determine the optimal strategy to improve efficiency. Project performance evaluation was conducted using the performance prism method, which assesses five key aspects: stakeholder satisfaction, stakeholder contribution, strategy, process, and capability. In addition, the Critical Success Factor (CSF) method was used to identify the main factors affecting project success. SWOT analysis was applied to formulate improvement strategies that fit the project conditions. Data processing was conducted through surveys, interviews, and indepth analysis of project conditions. The ABC project's implementation was most affected by the process aspect, while the final inspection activity was the most important factor in its success. The analysis identified 12 improvement strategies that could boost efficiency and mitigate project delays. These strategies include process optimization, technology implementation, and improved coordination between stakeholders. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to project management in optimizing performance, improving the effectiveness of resource management, and supporting the achievement of more efficient and highly competitive Keywords: Critical success factors. improvement strategies. performance prism. project performance. INTRODUCTION The manufacturing sector has experienced significant growth post-COVID-19. The postpandemic period saw a 4. 64% increase, contributing 18. 67% to IndonesiaAos total economy . The growth of the manufacturing sector correlates with an increase in supporting workforce numbers. 2023, the total workforce in the manufacturing sector reached 19. 34 million, an increase of 0. from the previous year . This growth signifies that IndonesiaAos economic cycle is moving towards an ideal condition, driven by the normalisation of production processes, allowing orders to be fulfilled as before. The current ideal condition of the manufacturing sector presents an opportunity for productivity Productivity success is reflected in the effectiveness and efficiency of utilisation within an organisation. When productivity runs smoothly, it drives economic growth . One of the key determinants of productivity in the manufacturing sector is workforce conditions . Every manufacturing industry strives to enhance employee productivity to maintain competitiveness . Employee productivity improvement can be measured through performance achievements . Performance evaluation has a positive impact on employee productivity. Employees in the manufacturing sector must be equipped with the necessary skills and competencies to perform their duties effectively.

KPI identification for construction projects The collected data is processed using the performance prism and CSF methods. The performance prism method evaluates project performance through five aspects: stakeholder satisfaction, stakeholder contribution, strategy, processes, and capabilities . Identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPI. is crucial for performance measurement using this method. KPI identification on a project can be seen in Figure 1. The CSF method helps identify key factors influencing the success of the ABC project . Project performance constraints are identified based on the selected strategy . , which is expected to address all challenges in project implementation . The identified constraints necessitate a control strategy, analysed using SWOT methodology. The SWOT-based project strategy formulation aims to provide control and improvement recommendations based on internal and external project conditions . The next stage after data processing is the conclusion. The purpose of the conclusion is to show the essence of the results and contribution of the research . RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The performance measurement of the ABC project was analyzed using the Performance Prism Table 1 presents the results of the Performance Prism measurement for the ABC project. The ABC project involves 13 stakeholders, whose presence aligns with the project activity phases scheduled in the finishing process. The stakeholder process begins with identifying the satisfaction and contribution of the stakeholders in the ABC project. Satisfaction identification indicates the level of satisfaction of stakeholders . involved in the ABC project, while contribution identification shows the level of contribution from each stakeholder . in maintaining project success within the planned The determination of project success is based on time and quality, ensuring that the identification results align with project conditions as per the initial plan. The results of stakeholder satisfaction and contribution identification for the ABC project are presented in Table 1. The total activities in executing the ABC project amount to 13 activities, with each activity being performed differently depending on job descriptions and qualifications. Table 1.

The calculation of the comparative matrix is based on the weight of each criterion. Table 2 presents the weight calculation and performance values of KPI criteria, stakeholders, and elements. The KPI identification results found 54 KPIs, with each strategy, process, and capability having two KPIs from the 14 involved stakeholders. The pairwise matrix calculation results indicate that the highest criterion weight is the process, with a value The consistency ratio of the weighting results is 0. 027, which is less than 0. 1, indicating pairwise consistency. This suggests that PT X prioritizes the process aspect in executing the ABC The process aspect drives PT X to emphasize punctuality to prevent project delays. If delays occur. PT X will face penalties in the form of fines and a loss of trust from future project owners. All process constraints must comply with proper procedures and minimize repetition as much as possible. 1,307 Weight Performance Value Stakeholder A.
