Material Management System Based on Daily Work

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to introduce material management system based on daily schedule management. The backbone is a scheduling system that adopts a production planning system as well as a project scheduling system. The lowest level in the scheduling system is the daily schedule management, which is linked to material management system. The paper focuses on the material management and scheduling systems to implement a material “pull” system for reducing materials inventories on site. Benefits and challenges of material management and scheduling systems are discussed through interview with managers and engineers.
