“…Furthermore, investigate the factors that influence the betterment of construction work scheduling, identify the critical level of each factor and identify the method of improving the preparation of more effective construction work schedules [39]. The information obtained will be used to develop structural modeling for material management and it is hoped that these models will assist the construction industry, especially contractors to improve the efficiency of material management [40].…”

A Framework of Efficient Material Storage Management on Congested Construction Site

2018

Material storage management focuses on starting material into the built-up site to be recorded, the material layout and stored over a certain period until it is taken out of the storage area to the work site and the process is repeated. The emergence of new technologies that are not integrated and have no efficient management methods as well as inexperienced management negatively affect the storage management of overcrowded site sites. This study aims to devise an efficient set of materials storage management on a congested site. Critical studies have been referred on more than 50 previous research journals covering by the elements. The framework of this study comprises four elements that are defined as workflow of storage management, storage management systems, material storage methods and roles of responsible parties. The combination of the elements can contribute to the strengthening or discovery of the theory or concept that can be used by the developmental growth and future of the industry.

The study appraised the degree of necessity and usage of material management methods adopted by small-scale construction firms in Abuja and Lagos State, Nigeria. It identified and examined the factors affecting material management practices, and assessed material management-related factors influencing cost variance. Eighty (80) structured questionnaires was administered on sites supervisor/manager through purposive sampling. Data obtained were analyzed using frequency, percentages, Mean score and relative severity index. The study revealed the most important material management method as site planning and organization (4.95), while employment of security (4.88) was often adopted for effective material management. The study found the most severe factors affecting material management as poor site organization, non-availability of material on sites, material not delivered as per schedule with severity index of (0.958), (0.948) and (0.928) respectively. Inadequate storage facilities (3.69), damaged materials (3.65), Loss of material (3.54), were found as material management factors most influencing cost variance. The study therefore recommends that; proper site organization should be carried out on construction site; materials should be made available on-site with required quantities and delivered as at when due with adequate stacking and storage facilities. More so, there should be adequate storage facilities on construction sites, material damage/ loss of material should be reduced to the barest minimum. The service of a good estimator should be engaged by the firms to mitigate against inaccurate/poor estimation of materials.

“…He concluded that RFID in materials tracking was found to help in inventory control and retarded the increase of construction cost. Jusoh and Kasim 19 developed a prototype system to provide the mechanism for integrating materials management and resource modelling in the construction industry with the application of MS Access (database system), MS Project (for resource planning), and RFID (for materials tracking) which was proved to be very effective.…”

In managing a pipeline construction project, the selection of vendors, the procurement of materials, developing optimum inspection policy, planning and managing the inflow of materials at different point of time, managing desired level of inventory, proper storage of materials, managing outflow of materials backed up with flow less transportation process and minimizing of wastages at the construction site are big challenges faced by all clients of a cross-country pipeline project. Therefore, on this backdrop, an attempt has been made to construct a materials management system that is applicable for the construction of a cross-country pipeline project. In this context, the objective of this research work is to model the materials management system by applying different methods to take care of vendor selection, materials inspection, materials storage, materials transportation, controlling stock, and managing wastage of materials at the project construction. The methods used for conducting this research work are Garret’s rating technique, and physical system theory (PST). After reviewing different problems faced by the Morbi–Mundra pipeline project team of Gujarat State Petronet Ltd (GSPL), it is expected that the model developed would remove problems faced by GSPL and would facilitate different clients of a pipeline project to complete the project without any time and cost overrun.
