Implementation of Kanban Visualization Using JIRA Software to Optimize Project Bid Monitoring at PT Catur Manunggal Pratama

Abstract

This paper aims to reduce the risk of failure in monitoring project bids that hinder operational management effectiveness at PT Catur Manunggal Pratama. The company faces inefficiencies due to traditional, paper-based systems that cause workflow delays, errors, and potential business losses. A quantitative approach was employed by implementing a Kanban system using JIRA Software to improve transparency, structure, and operational efficiency. Data were collected through interviews with the operations manager and analysis of related documents. The findings reveal that inadequate bid monitoring contributes to reduced tender success rates, workload accumulation, and difficulties in resource planning. The application of a digital Kanban system enhances project visibility, streamlines workflows, and supports better decision-making in managing bids. This study shows that improving monitoring processes can lead to increased efficiency and reduced operational risk. The implication for management is the need to adopt structured digital tools that support competitiveness and performance in the bidding process. Enhanced transparency and real-time tracking are crucial for minimizing errors and maintaining control over ongoing tenders. This paper contributes to the literature by demonstrating the practical application of Kanban methodology combined with JIRA Software in the context of project bid management, offering an effective digital solution for addressing inefficiencies in construction-related business operations.
