3. INTRODUCTION
• Important function for improving productivity in construction projects.
• The management of materials considered at all the phases of the
construction
• poor MM can affect construction time, quality and budget.
• planning and controlling of materials MUST BE NEED for right quality and
quantity of materials.
• The goal is materials are available at their point when needed.
• The materials management system insure that the right quality and
quantity of materials selected, purchased, delivered, and handled
onsite in a Timely manner and at a reasonable Cost.

4. DEFINITION OF MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
 Material management is defined as planning, identification,
procuring, storage, receiving and distribution of materials. The
purpose of material management is to assure that the right
materials are in the right place, in the right quantise when
needed.
 The responsibility of material management department for the
flow of materials from the time the materials are ordered,
received, and stored until they are used in the basis of material
management.

11. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

12. The term INVENTORY is defined as “the systematic
control and regulation of purchase, storage and usage
of materials in such a way so as to maintain an even
flow of production and at the same time avoiding
excessive investment in inventories.”
12

13. Costs Associated With Inventory
• Purchase (or Production) cost
• Capital cost
• Ordering cost
• Inventory carrying costs (holding costs)
• Shortage cost
13

14. Objectives of Inventory Control
 To ensure that the supply of raw material & finished goods will
remain continuous so that production process is not halted and
demands of customers are duly met.
 To minimise carrying cost of inventory.
 To keep investment in inventory at optimum level.
 To reduce the losses of theft, obsolescence & wastage etc.
 To minimise inventory ordering cost.

16. TWO BIN SYSTEM – A INVENTORY POLICIES

17. Commonly adopted inventory-control
policies

18. V-E-D Classification
• V-Vital :Items without which the activities will come to a
halt.
• E-Essential :Items which are likely to cause disruption of
the normal activity.
• D-Desirable :In the absence of which the hospital work
does not get hampered.
18

19. 19

20. H-M-L Classification
• Similar to A-B-C analysis. But it doesn't depend on annual
consumption. The items listed out in decreasing order of
unit value.
H-High
M-Medium
L -Low
20

21. F-S-N Classification
• Takes into account the distribution and handling
patterns of items from stores.
• Important when obsolescence is to be controlled.
F – Fast moving
S – Slow moving
N – Non moving
21

22. 22

23. • ‘F’ items are those items that are fast-moving—i.e., in a
given period of time, say, a month or a year, they have been
issued a number of times.
• ‘S’ items are those items that are slow-moving—in the
sense, in a given period of time they have been issued in a
very limited number.
• ‘N’ or non-moving items are those that are not at all issued
for a considerable period of time.
FSN Analysis

24. S-D-E Classification
• Based on the lead-time analysis and availability.
S – Scarce: longer lead time(imported)
D – Difficult : long lead time(indigenous)
E – Easy : reasonable lead time
The items coming under S class are imported items, hence
it has to be purchased once in a year or it may be an item
which is not easily available in market.
24

25. S-O-S Classification
• S-O-S :Seasonal- Off- Seasonal
• Some items are seasonal in nature and hence require
special purchasing and stocking strategies.
• EOQ formula cannot be applied in these cases.
• Inventories at the time of procurement will be extremely
high.
25

26. G-O-L-F Classification
• G-O-L-F stands for:
G – Government
O – Ordinary
L – Local
F – Foreign
26
X-Y-Z Classification
• Based on the value of inventory stored.
• If the values are high, special efforts should be made to
reduce them.
• This exercise can be done once a year.

28. ABC Analysis
 The ABC (Always Better Control) inventory control technique is
based on the principle that a small portion of the items may typically
represent the bulk of money value of the total inventory in
construction process, while a relatively large number of items may
from a small part of the money value of stores.
 The money value is ascertained by multiplying the quantity of
material of each item by its unit price.

29. ABC Classification System
Classifying inventory according to annual value of consumption of
the items.
A- very important
B- mod. important
C - least important
Annual
value
of items
A
B
C
High
Low
Few Many
Number of Items
29
 The Pareto principle states that 80% of the total material cost
(overall consumption value) is based on only 20% of items.

31. Procedure for ABC Analysis
• Make the list of all items of inventory.
• Determine the annual volume of usage & money value of each item.
• Multiply each item’s annual volume by its rupee value.
• Compute each item’s percentage of the total inventory in terms of
annual usage in rupees
• The relative position of these items show that items of category A
should be under the maximum control, items of category B may not
be given that much attention and item C may be under a loose
control.

32. What is ABC analysis?
ABC analysis is an inventory categorization method which consists in
dividing items into three categories (A, B, C):
A being the most valuable items,
C being the least valuable ones.
This method aims to draw managers’ attention on the critical few (A-
items) not on the trivial many (C-items).
(ABC = Always Better Control)
This is based on cost criteria.
About 10 % of materials consume 70 % of resources
About 20 % of materials consume 20 % of resources
About 70 % of materials consume 10 % of resources
32

33. Small in number, but consume large amount of resources
Must have:
Tight control
Rigid estimate of requirements
Strict & closer watch
Low safety stocks
Managed by top management 33

34. ‡
Moderate control
Purchase based on rigid requirements
Reasonably strict watch & control
Moderate safety stocks
Managed by middle level management
34

35. Larger in number, but consume lesser amount of resources
‡
Must have:
Ordinary control measures
Purchase based on usage estimates
High safety stocks
‡
ABC analysis does not stress on items those are less costly but may be
vital
35

36. The ABC calculation
The annual consumption value is calculated with the formula:
(Annual demand) x (item cost per unit)
Through this categorization, the supply manager can identify inventory
hot spots, and separate them from the rest of the items, especially
those that are numerous but not that profitable.

42. Conclusion
• The boundary between class A and class B might not be as sharply
defined;
• The purpose of this classification is to ensure that purchasing staff use
resources to maximum efficiency by concentrating on those items that
have the greatest potential savings → selective control will be more
effective than an approach that treats all items identically.
42

43. The ABC analysis can be also be useful in several steps of the Sourcing
Value Chain:! Demand Identification, to gather the annual spend of a
site! Demand Aggregation, to gather the annual spend of several sites!
Opportunity Assessment, to identify leveraging opportunities.
‡
The ABC tool is used to identify the vital few from the trivial many,
according to a defined set of criteria.
‡
Different decisions may be taken from the result of the ABC analysis.

Needs to be completed in the moment for the most accuracy.
Still might reflect the biases of the data collector.

45. EOQ model
45

46. INTRODUCTION
Economic Order Quantity Is The Number Of Units That A
Company Should Add To Inventory With Each Order To
Minimize The Total Costs Of Inventory.
Example For Inventory Costs Are
 Holding Costs
Order Costs
Shortage Costs
46

47. DEFENITION AND EXPLANATION
 Size Of The Order Which Gives Maximum Economy In
Purchasing Any Material And Ultimately Contributes
Towards Maintaining The Materials At The Optimum Level
And At The Minimum Cost.
 The Amount Of Inventory To Be Ordered At One Time For
Purposes Of Minimizing Annual Inventory Cost.
47

48. EOQ=
•A = DEMAND FOR THE YEAR
•CP = COST TO PLACE A SINGLE ORDER
•CH = COST TO HOLD ONE UNIT INVENTORY FOR A YEAR
FORMULA OF EOQ
48

49. HOW TO CALCULATE EOQ
1. Understand And Review The Formula
[2 * (Annual Usage In Units * Order Cost) / Annual
Carrying Cost Per Unit]^(1/2).
2. Define The Variables.
3. Calculate The Numerator
4. Divide The Numerator By Annual Carrying Cost Per Unit
5. Take The Square Root

51. The Diagram Below Illustrates How These Two Components (Annual
Holding Cost And Annual Order Cost) Change As Q, The Quantity Ordered,
Changes. As Q Increases Holding Cost Increases But Order Cost Decreases.
Hence The Total Annual Cost Curve Is As Shown Below - Somewhere On
That Curve Lies A Value Of Q That Corresponds To The Minimum Total
Cost.
51

52. THE TOTAL COST FUNCTION
 Total Cost = Purchase Cost + Ordering Cost + Holding
Cost
 Purchase Cost : Variable Cost Of Goods= Purchase Unit
Price × Annual Demand Quantity. This Is P×d
 Ordering Cost: Cost Of Placing Orders: Each Order Has A
Fixed Cost S, And We Need To Order D/Q Times Per Year.
=S × D/Q
 Holding Cost: The Average Quantity In Stock (Between
Fully Replenished And Empty) Is Q/2; =H × Q/2.
52

53. UNDER LYING ASSUMPTIONS
• The Ordering Cost Is Constant.
• The Rate Of Demand Is Constant
• The Purchase Price Of The Item Is Constant I.E. No Discount
Is Available
• The Replenishment Is Made Instantaneously, The Whole
Batch Is Delivered At Once.
53

54. USE OF EOQ
 As A Part Of A Continuous Review Of Inventory System
 Model For Calculating The Appropriate Reorder Point And
The Optimal Reorder Quantity
 Tool For Determining Quantity Of Inventory
54

55. EOQ(Economic order of quantity) analysis
The EOQ refers to the order size that will result in the lowest total of ordering and
carrying costs for an item of inventory. If a firm place unnecessary orders it will
incur unneeded order costs. If a firm places too few order, it must maintain large
stocks of goods and will have excessive carrying cost.

56. Figure 11.6 Inventory behaviour under EOQ model
11.4.6 Economic Order Quantity Model

57. Figure 11.7
11.4.6.1 Total cost curve – EOQ model

58.  The total cost is given by the sum of inventory-carrying cost
and ordering cost.
Total cost TC = Ordering cost + Carrying cost (11.1)
 The following notations are used to develop EOQ model:
D = Demand rate; unit/year
A = Ordering cost; Rs/order
C = Unit cost; Rs/unit of item
I = Inventory-carrying charges per year
H = Annual cost of carrying inventory/unit item
Q = Order quantity; number of units per lot
 It is assumed that demand is at a uniform rate. Thus, the
average inventory required would be (0 + Q)/2 =Q/2
throughout the year.
 The total number of orders placed would be D/Q per year.

(Contd…)

60. Some of the observations that are clear from the
above expressions are:
More the demand per year, larger will be the order
quantity.
Higher the order cost, larger will be the order
quantity.
More expensive the item are, smaller will be the
order quantity.
Higher the carrying cost is, smaller will be the
order quantity.
11.4.6.1 Total cost curve—EOQ model
(Contd…)

61. The derivation of EOQ is based on a number of
assumptions such as:
 Demand is deterministic and continuous at a constant rate.
 The process continues infinitely.
 No constraints are imposed on quantities ordered, storage capacity,
budget, etc.
 Replenishment is instantaneous (the entire order quantity is
received all at one time as soon as the order is released).
 All costs are time-invariant.
 There are no shortages of items.
 The quantity discounts are not available.
 There is negligible or deterministic lead time.

64. What is Job Layout?
• A job layout is prepared to promise that work proceeds smoothly
without any obstruction. The various construction resources such as
material, men, machinery etc. should be arranged in such way to achieve
optimal utilization of space. The larger and more complex
the project, greater will be the need for planned
detailing at site. And job layout can be defined as a
job layout and
site drawing of
the proposed construction showing the location of entry, exit,
temporary services, material stores and stocks, plant or equipment
and site offices.
