Analyzing Material Management Techniques On Construction Project

Uploaded by

John Ajish

The document analyzes techniques for managing materials on construction projects. It discusses how poor material planning and control can increase costs through losses in productivity and delays. The study explores current material management practices in two phases: the first uses an S-curve analysis to identify reasons for deviations from planned material use, and the second applies inventory control techniques like ABC and EOQ analysis to address stock-out problems. Effective material management can bring benefits like reduced overall material costs, improved labor productivity, better schedule adherence, and stronger supplier relationships.

ANALYZING MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

TECHNIQUES ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

ABSTRACT:

The efficient procurement of material represents a key role in the successful


completion of the work. Poor planning and control of material, lack of material
when needed, poor identification of material, re-handling and inadequate storage
cause losses in labor productivity and overall delays that can indirectly increase
total project cost. Effective management of materials can reduce these costs. This
paper is written to explore the current practices of Material Management so this
study is conducted in two phases, First phase gives the Qualitative information
regarding deviation in planned and actual materials in terms of S curve analysis
using MSP tool and reasoning over the deviation is essential to know the effect of
material planning before execution of project. Various comments on S curve
analysis have given in terms of problems of administrative causes, consultant’s
causes, contractor’s faults, and unavailability of resources. These major reasons of
changes represented in terms of pie chart. To maintain sufficient stock of raw
material in period of short supply, to protect inventory against deterioration and
control investment in inventories and to keep it in an optimum level an inventory
control techniques such as ABC and EOQ analysis is carried out in second phase
of study to overcome the problems of stock out.

INTRODUCTION

Construction material constitutes a major cost component in any


construction project. The total cost of installed material may be 50% or more of the
total cost. The goal of material management is to ensure that the materials are
available at their point of use when needed hence, efficient procurement of
material represents a key role in the successful completion of the work. It is
important for the contractor to consider that there may be significant difference in
the date that the material was requested or date when the purchase order was made,
and the time at which the material will be delivered, thus material management is a
key of project management.

OBJECTIVES OF MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

Material management system can bring following objectives

 Efficient material planning


 Buying or Purchasing
 Procuring and Receiving
 Storing and Inventory Control
 Supply and distribution of material
 Quality and assurance
 Improved efficiency
 Good supplier relationship

To fulfill all these objectives, it is necessary to establish a good coordination


between all the employees of material management department

BENEFITS OF MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

 Reducing the overall costs of material


 Better handling of material
 Reduction in duplicated orders
 Material is on site when needed and in the quantities required
 Improvements in labor productivity
 Improvements in project schedule
 Quality control
 Better field material control
 Better relations with suppliers
