Hello Team,

 

Materials management concept is to manage resources in an integrative way for national economic development. This is possible with the development Management Information System (MIS), technological innovations and selection of economic and newly-developed materials for manufacture. It is the management’s responsibility to develop the materials management system.

 

Materials management can deal with campus planning and building design for the movement of materials, or with logistics that deal with the tangible components of a supply chain. Specifically, this covers the acquisition of spare parts and replacements, quality control of purchasing and ordering such parts, and the standards involved in ordering, shipping, and warehousing the said parts.

 

Regards,

 

Saiyid
