| description | Material management is an important issue as seen in construction
waste management. Best practice of material management is
accompanied by various benefits which are acknowledged by several
studies. The site layout has particular effects on both materials and
their waste through effective waste management practice. Ignoring the
benefits of material management could result in a daily reduction in
productivity of up to 40% by material wastage. Thus, the benefits of
effective material management must be well comprehended for the
sake of waste minimization. Another convincing fact about waste is that
poor site management accounts for the largest factor of waste
generation. Hence the site condition is very crucial in developing
effective material management. Factors contributing to the efficiency of
material management process are effective logistical management and
supply chain management. The logistics system must be performing as
schedule so that materials are wisely managed on-site without
encountering presence of excessive materials. As materials
management is closely related to logistics in construction projects,
there will be delay in construction projects when materials are not
delivered to site as scheduled. The management must be effective in
terms of delivery, off-loading, storage, handling, on-site transportation
and on-site utilization of materials. |
