Editor's Notes
- Project management systems that integrate and make use of information from every part of the supply chain are becoming more sophisticated.
- Successful projects reap the benefits of a disciplined approach to supply chain management. Site material management being at the end of the chain, relies heavily on careful documentation and sharing of information from engineering, procurement and logistics functions. From CAD design systems we now extract with relative ease, full material take offs and bills of materials for all areas of the plant design. Often this work is carried out many months before there is any construction activity at site so can easily be overlooked. By linking engineering and design data to site material management you will many hours of work with a better system for controlling and issuing materials. Material Requests Some SMM systems can now call up material requirements based on installation drawings used at site. A material engineer simply loads the drawing numbers and a build analysis is carried out to verify there is enough materials to complete the current activity. If there is insufficient materials work may be rescheduled until the material arrives at site.
- Missing information from any part of the supply chain can result in poor management of resources, including warehousing, site laydowns, equipment and human resources for unloading, inspecting materials and general handling. Accurate expediting reports allow site material managers and site planners to adjust the schedule if needed based on scheduled deliveries.
- A key to successful site material management is implementing best practice methodologies, procedures and control systems to link all parts of the supply chain. During a project assignment to Pend Lai, China, Michael was tasked with implementing a material control system for the module yard. A total of 350 containers were in transit and all due to hit the wharf within six weeks. Having accurate information of container contents was imperitive for the planning of warehousing, laydown yard use and people and equipment resources

- Michael Downing worked closely with PJOE fabrication company. During startup of the module yard Michael oversaw the implementation of integrated management systems for the control of site materials. The Chinese had fairly simple control systems but instead chose to adopt the integrated system as it provided advance build analysis of each module and accurately tracked materials in multiple warehouses, lay down areas and materials in transit.
- Cutting edge technology, such as the satellite GPS tracking system used at the Boyne Smelter can see huge gains in productivity. Receiving materials is faster and the time to locate, tag and retrieve materials is significantly reduced. The material tracking system project was managed by Michael Downing. The system successfully tracked over 14,000 steel components and recorded exact placement in each lay down yard. The use of the system was later expanded to assist with receiving and tracking 3.7 million refractory bricks, with storage locations in both Gladstone and at site.

- The ground is littered with the remains of the 1000’s of firecrackers. Michael Downing (6 th from right) was assigned to the fabrication yard during the initial weeks of the project to ensure material control methodology and systems were correctly implemented by the fabricator.
