The Right Material, at the Right Time
The most effective way to control project costs is to handle the complete material management from the very beginning through the end.
5 Step Process Focuses on Process Steps
At CMMS, our goal is to ensure that every project is completed on schedule, under budget and with minimum material surplus. Experience has shown that the most effective way to control project costs is to start at the very beginning of the project and carry those savings throughout every phase of construction. CMMS materials management process parallels the critical functions of the customer to maximize productivity and lower costs – from conception to operation.
A detailed, comprehensive Individual Electronic Project Catalog is built listing the specific products to be used throughout the project. This becomes the “go-to” source for electrical management at all stages of the project.
The catalog ensures that:
- Only material from approved manufacturers is used
- Pricing is consistent
- The number of specialty and non-stock items requests is kept to a minimum
- Accurate lead times are entered for each item including the time to manufacturer + transit time + customs time
Wholesale Electric CMMS professionals use their unique combination of field construction experience and product knowledge to produce an accurate and detailed Material Take Offs (MTOs) from the electrical drawings. These MTOs list the materials, their quantities and types and where they are to be installed on the site.
CMMS uses the customer’s Construction Schedule to create the Purchase Schedule for Material, the Production Schedule for Manufacturers and ultimately the Work Plan for the Release of Material.
Construction personnel can enter the Required On-Site Dates for areas/work packages into the CMMS system.
A Work Plan on the Required On-Site Date is developed which determines purchasing and inventory activities.
Electronic release of material to the construction crew on an as-needed basis reduces the project investment and field material management costs as well as material surplus.
Construction personnel pick up and sign for work packages containing exactly what they need for the work tasks at hand according to the Construction Schedule. With the help of CMMS Cable Management, cable is cut to length in order to reduce measuring and cutting time during installation and to reduce surplus.
Real-time, any-time access to the project file is available via our web-based system, making global project management easier and more efficient.
The configurable components of CMMS allow customers to tailor our system to fit their specific project and reporting requirements.
