Pengaruh Pengelolaan Bahan Bakar, Pemeliharaan Kendaraan, dan Penjadwalan Perjalanan terhadap Efisiensi Operasional pada PT Primajasa Perdanaraya Utama
Abstract
Land transportation supports population mobility and the distribution of goods and services in
Indonesia, so bus companies must maintain service quality while controlling operating costs. PT
Primajasa Perdanaraya Utama shows signs of inefficiency: actual fuel costs exceeded the budget
every year from 2021 to 2025 (a variance of 3.38% in 2021 and 6.60% in 2025), and several routes
had load factors below 75%. This study examines the effect of Fuel Management, Vehicle
Maintenance, and Travel Scheduling on Operational Efficiency. The study uses a quantitative
associative (causal) approach. Primary data were collected through a five-point Likert questionnaire
from 50 employees involved in operations at the Cawang head office and the Tanjung Priok terminal,
and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS.
The results show that Fuel Management (t = 5.245; p = 0.000), Vehicle Maintenance (t = 2.703; p
= 0.007), and Travel Scheduling (t = 3.427; p = 0.001) each have a positive and significant effect
on Operational Efficiency. The R-Square of 0.571 indicates that the three variables explain 57.1%
of the variance in Operational Efficiency. The findings emphasize the importance of controlling fuel
consumption, planned fleet maintenance, and schedules aligned with passenger demand.
