Which of the two organizational structureto be adopted depends on the factors:
- How important are MM activities to theunit and for that matter to organization?
- Will Unit suffer substantially if MM doesnot perform effectively as it ought to?
- How much funds blocked in inventory andconstraints of working capital?

Which of the two organizational structure tobe adopted depends on the factors:
- How important it is that MM activities beclosely coordinated with O&M, others &Accounts Department?
- Is it essential that materials cost becontrolled tightly and effectively?
- What is absolute value of purchases?
- What is the range and variety of materialspurchased?

Which of the two organizational structure tobe adopted depends on the factors:
- What is the percentage of materials costin total production cost?
-What are the market conditions
- And last but not least, do we intendto develop a professional team ofMaterials personnel to effectivelycontribute in overall organizationalobjectives?

Which of the two organizational structure tobe adopted depends on the factors:
- Organization will certainly be benefitedfrom a higher caliber, creative MMD,should it be treated as a profit- makingcentre that receives close attentionof general management.
- It is, however, realized that Accounts,
Production, Engineering or MaintenanceDeptts have their own priorities, whichare in conflict with basic objectives ofsound Material Management

Which of the two organizational structure tobe adopted depends on the factors:
- Modern tendencies as such are to de-linkmaterials functions from these Deptts.Integrated Materials Management functionis recognized as top managementfunction and Head of MMD reports directlyto head of unit or organization.
Even if Materials is primarily treated asservice activity, it should report to thatservice head that it serves most

Integrated Materials ManagementApproach:
This is essentially an organizationalconcept that brings together, under oneorganizational component i.e. MaterialsManagement Department, theresponsibility for planning, purchasing,transportation, storing, disbursing andcontrolling materials .

Advantages of integration of materialsmanagement functions:
Improved supplier relation results fromensuring delivery schedule on the basis oflatest inventory position and production
requirements
Paper work and duplication of workreduced through better coordination andproper communication among personsperforming the related functions.

Advantages of integration of materialsmanagement functions:
Improved customer services often resultsfrom reduced delivery time.
Reduced overall cost of materials as aresult of using more scientific and
economical methods in planning,acquisition, storage and control ofmaterials.

Centralization Versus Decentralization ofMaterials Functions:
A company with several operating plantfaces one additional organizationalproblem.
- To what extent should materialsmanagement functions be centralizedat corporate level?
There may be complete centralization orcomplete decentralization or develop anorganization somewhere between thesetwo extremes.

Centralization Versus Decentralization ofMaterials Functions:
Factors to be considered: Similarity of the classes of materials used in eachof plant. If a firm’s plants use different materials,centralization offers only minimal benefits,
Size of each individual materials department.Centralization is more advantageous when afirm’s individual plants do not have largematerials department.

Centralization Versus Decentralization ofMaterials Functions:
Geographical dispersion of plants: Closurethe firm’s plant are located geographically,the feasible centralization becomes.
Geographical dispersion of plants: Closurethe firm’s plant are located geographically,the feasible centralization becomes.
No and size of plants: If there are largeNo of plant of fairly big size, centralizationwill become difficult & create moreproblems in availability of materials thanany gains.

Centralization Versus Decentralization ofMaterials Functions:
Advantages of Multi-plantCentralization:
Scope of greater specialization.Consolidation of materials requirementsand economy through bulk purchases.
Better coordination with suppliersLesser buying cost.
