Abstract

EPC (Engineering-Procurement-Construction) power plant projects have a high complexity to achieve project success (i.e., cost, quality, and time). This study aims to identify factors of team effectiveness that directly or indirectly significantly affect the success of the EPC power plant project. Factors of team effectiveness are identified using SLR (systematic literature review) based on project management journals. We then utilize the Delphi method to analyze the relevance and impact of the factors on project success. We reveal twenty-eight factors and their impacts. Subsequently, we assess an EPC power plant project based on the factor^s implementation, importance, and frequency of problems by conducting a focus group discussion. Fishbone diagrams are employed to investigate root causes and seek improvements or solutions. Four factors are deemed to need further improvement: respect, effective procurement/contract methods, communication, and decision-making. This study is unique and novel as it focuses on the EPC power plant project in Indonesia. It provides project managers and members with knowledge to create effective teams to succeed. Finally, the study provides reference indicators for forming an effective project team.
