Full Description

This update of CII research on materials management presents materials management functions at both the organizational and project levels. It focuses on practices and procedures for developing and/or improving an organization's materials management functions. It addresses the increased integration of the materials management process throughout the project life cycle, and tackles the challenges associated with the extended supplier base, global sourcing, and longer lead times. Also, it discusses specific issues relative to contracting services, and looks ahead at six critical emerging issues: workforce constraints; projects of growing size and complexity; strategic supplier relationships; emerging markets (global sourcing); materials, manufacturing, and fabrication quality; and environment and sustainability.
