Materials Management
• Planning and controlling the flow of materials
• Objectives:– Maximize the use of the firms resources– Provide the required level of customer service
Company Objectives
Income = Revenue - Expense
• Need to increase income with:– Best customer service– Lowest production costs– Lowest inventory investment– Lowest distribution costs
Manufacturing Planning and Control
• Planning and controlling the flow of materials through the manufacturing process through:– Production Planning– Implementation and Control– Inventory Management
Production Planning
• To meet the demands of the marketplace• Establish priorities• Ensure capacity
• Activities–Forecasting–Master Planning–Materials Requirements Planning–Capacity Planning
Implementation and Control
• Putting into action and achieving the plans– (made by production planning)
• Purchasing
Inputs to the Manufacturing Planning and Control System
1. Product description2. Process specifications3. Time needed4. Available facilities5. Quantity required
Process Specifications
• Recorded on a Route Sheet• Describe how the product is made
– Operations required to make the product– Sequence of operations– Equipment and accessories required– Standard time to perform each operation
Physical Supply / Distribution
• All the activities involved in moving goods – from the supplier to the beginning of the
production process– from the end of the process to the customer
• Transportation • Distribution Inventory• Warehousing • Packaging
• Materials Handling

AIM OF MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
To get
1. The Right quality
2. Right quantity of supplies
3. At the Right time
4. At the Right place
5. For the Right cost
PURPOSE OF MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
•To gain economy in purchasing
•To satisfy the demand during period of replenishment
•To carry reserve stock to avoid stock out
•To stabilize fluctuations in consumption
•To provide reasonable level of client services
Primary•Right price•Low procurement & storage cost•Continuity of supply•Consistency in quality•Good supplier relations•Development of personnel•Good information system
Objective of material management
Secondary•Forecasting•Inter-departmental harmony•Product improvement•Standardization•Make or buy decision•New materials & products
Four basic needs of Material management
1. To have adequate materials on hand when needed
2. To pay the lowest possible prices, consistent with
quality and value requirement for purchases
materials
3. To minimize the inventory investment
4. To operate efficiently
Basic principles of material management Effective management & supervisionIt depends on managerial functions of • Planning• Organizing• Staffing• Directing• Controlling • Reporting• BudgetingSkillful & hard poised negotiationsEffective purchase systemShould be simpleMust not increase other costsInventory control
Elements of material management
1. Demand estimation
2. Identify the needed items
3. Calculate from the trends in Consumption.
4. Review with resource constraints
Objectives of procurement system
•Acquire needed supplies as inexpensively as possible
•Obtain high quality supplies
•Assure prompt & dependable delivery
•Distribute the procurement workload to avoid period of
idleness & overwork
Points to remember while purchasing•Proper specification
•Invite quotations from reputed firms
•Comparison of offers based on basic price, freight & insurance,
taxes and levies
•Quantity & payment discounts
•Payment terms
•Delivery period, guarantee
•Vendor reputation
(reliability, technical capabilities, Convenience, Availability, after-
sales service, sales assistance)
Storage
•Store must be of adequate space
•Materials must be stored in an appropriate place in a correct way
•Group wise & alphabetical arrangement helps in identification &
retrieval
•First-in, first-out principle to be followed OR ..
•Monitor expiry date
Inventory control
It means stocking adequate number and kind of stores, so that the materials are available whenever required and wherever required.
Functions of inventory control
•To provide maximum supply service, consistent with maximum efficiency & optimum investment.
•To provide cushion between forecasted & actual demand for a material
•Re-order level: stock level at which fresh order is placed.•Average consumption per day. lead time. buffer stock•Lead time: Duration time between placing an order & receipt of material
PROCURMENT OF EQUIPMENTPoints to be noted before purchase of an equipment:
•Latest technology•Availability of maintenance & repair facility, with minimum down time•Post warranty repair at reasonable cost•Upgradeability•Reputed manufacturer•Low operating costs
•Installation

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE•Purchase with warranty & spares.•Safeguard the electronic equipments with: (as per guidelines)
•Voltage stabilizer, UPS•Automatic switch over generator
•Requirement of electricity, water, space, atmospheric conditions, etc. Must be taken into consideration•Well equipped maintenance cell must be available•All equipment must be operated as per instructions with trained staff•Maintenance cell•Communications between maintenance cell & suppliers of the equipment.•Follow-up of maintenance & repair services
•Repair of equipment•Outside agencies•In-house facility
DISPOSAL1. Circulate to other units, where it is needed2. Return to the vendor, if willing to accept3. Sell to agencies, scrap dealers, etc4. Auction5. Local destruction
Material handling system
Right Definition : Material handling uses the
right method to provide the right amount of the right material at the right place, at the right time, in the right sequence, in the right position, in the right condition, and at the right cost.

Value Analysis Defined…Value Analysis Defined…• Value Analysis is defined as a cross-functional
objective evaluation used to improve and analyze the value of a product, system or service. The overriding goal of a Value Analysis program is to decrease cost while improving performance and/or quality.
• Value Analysis is effective because it is the
analysis of both function and cost.
