Abstract — This research is about the MIVAN technology
and the balance technique line. In addition, this section
compares project planning using MSP and Primavera. MIVAN
is an aluminum formwork system. MIVAN was invented by a
European construction company. In 1990, MIVAN started to
produce formwork in Malaysia and the company was renamed
MIVAN. This technique is widely used in Europe, the Middle
East and Asia. Formwork is described as a temporary structure
that serves as a foundation for the permanent structure of the
building. MSP Project Management is a well-regarded solution
for managing various projects for various clients. P6 is often
used as a standalone program in this category. Line of balance
(LOB) is a management control method used in the
construction industry for projects that involve blocks of
repetitive work activities, such as highways, pipelines, tunnels,
railways and high-rise buildings, as well as prefabricated
buildings and terraced houses. . As the country's population
grew, the construction process became exponentially more
difficult. As we all know, the construction of high-rise buildings
is becoming more and more popular. However, the
construction process of these high-rise buildings takes longer,
so modern technology is used to reduce the length and cost of
the project. New sophisticated technology is produced for the
construction of multi-storey projects, resulting in the creation
of cost-effective and expedited project construction.

1. INTRODUCTION
Line of balance (LOB) is a control management process
used in the construction industry where the project contains
blocks of repetitive work activities such as roads, pipelines,
tunnels, railways and high-rise buildings, prefabricated
buildings, townhouses, etc. Process when collecting facts
about time, cost and schedule performance, all project-
related tasks are compared to a specific plan. LOB displays
process, project status, continuity of team size and work
background, time and phase of project activities, provides
management with measurement tools. LOB helps project
management by comparing the formal goal with actual
progress, examining only deviations from established plans
and measuring their degree of severity with respect to the
rest of the project, addressing problem and problem areas,
and solving problems within specific constraints.
1 Predicting future performance.
2 The programmed number of completed units is met.
3 A constant rate of repetitive work is maintained.
4 Workers and the plant are constantly moving
through the project to maintain and fully employ a
balanced workforce.
5 The cost benefits of repetitive work are achieved.
Line-of-balance (LOB) is a variation of linear scheduling
methods that allows operations to be balanced so that each
activity is performed continuously. The main advantage of
the LOB methodology is that it provides information about
the speed and duration of production in the form of an easy-
to-interpret graphic format. A LOB chart can show at a glance
what is wrong with an activity flow and can reveal potential
future bottlenecks. It is clear that LOB allows a better
understanding of a project composed of repetitive activities
than any other planning technique, because it allows
adjusting the production rate of activities. Allows smooth and
efficient.
1.1. MIVAN Technology
MIVAN is essentially an aluminum formwork system. The
MIVAN system was an invention of a construction company
from Europe. In 1990, MIVAN from Malaysia started
producing formwork, then named MIVAN. This technology is
widely used in Europe, Gulf countries and Asia. Formwork is
defined as a temporary structure whose purpose is to
support a building structure. The development of formwork
at the same distance as the progress of concrete construction
in the 20th century. Nowadays, modern technology must be
required because the population is growing and the land
available for building houses is limited. For a mass housing
project, it is essential to know new technologies for quick
project completion, quality service life and wear resistance.
MIVAN technology is able to construct a huge no. home in a
short time. MIVAN formwork can be easily removed. All
activities can be easily arranged and the result is more

accurate, better controllable and higher quality production at
economy with shorter time.
2. METHODOLOGY
It is difficult for a project manager to know what activity is
taking place on a particular floor when it comes to a
construction project that is broken down into a large number
of activities. The Line of Balance planning technique can be
applied to a project consisting of repetitive activities, as it
facilitates continuous monitoring of the project at each
milestone.
The main objective of this study is to draw a balance line for
repetitive activities and compare the actual and delayed
work in each stage of work and summarize the activities that
are critical and draw conclusions.

5. CONCLUSION
1. As the country's population grows, so does the
workload of the construction process. As we all
know, the construction of high-rise buildings is
becoming a trend, and since the construction process
of these high-rise buildings takes longer, modern
technologies are used to reduce the length and cost
of the project.
2. A new sophisticated technology is developed for
building multi-storey projects, resulting in cost-
effective and fast project construction.
3. A case study on a housing project was prepared and
the results of a comparison of traditional formwork
and MIVAN technology were found. MIVAN
technology has proven to be suitable for large
construction projects and can be reused about 200-
300 times.
4. Despite the significant initial investment in the
MIVAN technology, it delivers a cost-effective project
and there is no need for plastering as it provides a
better finish than conventional formwork.
5. Using MIVAN technology, project duration can be
shortened. As a result, MIVAN technology is
unsuitable for small-scale applications.
6. By using the number of employees, the breakeven
technique is useful in evaluating the rate of
production of each activity.
7. Increasing the workforce will speed up project
output, but increasing the workforce will increase
costs.
8. The use of VICO Control 2009 software helps in
successful planning and visualization of activity
planning and scheduling at each site.
9. You can compare the activity rate calculated from
the balancing formula row.
10. The required resources, i.e. the required manpower,
can be determined using a formula that gives both
theoretical and actual results.
11. The purpose of this study is to investigate and put
into practice the LOB method and the VICO control
tool for calculating the total duration of a high-rise
residential building project. Based on the results, a
better approach to project planning from the LOB
and VICO tool will be chosen for the calculation of
project progress lines. The LOB technique and the
VICO tool are graphical representations of repetitive
tasks that allow the project manager to evaluate
projected and actual production rates and make the
necessary decisions.
12. The standard shuttering technique is widely used
throughout the world, although it increases the time
and cost of the construction operation. Classic
formwork is unsuitable in areas with a high
population, limited usable land and rapid

construction work. The MIVAN formwork system
fulfills all this.
13. MIVAN technology delivers improved results in
terms of cost effectiveness, speed of construction
and durability of the building structure.
14. Construction speed can be achieved using MIVAN
formwork in a 4-day cycle per floor. It is possible to
remove the floor slab forms without removing the
support, but they are not conventional. The
traditional system has a displacement that is 86%
greater than the MIVAN design system.
