Common Challenges in Materials Management
Owners often struggle with transparency issues around materials management due to disconnected work processes or lacking data governance. This makes it challenging to establish a single source of truth or reliable source of material status and will hinder effective forecasting or planning activities.
Lack of Transparency of Materials Information
As a critical component of the overall asset lifecycle, a well-defined and properly governed material master is essential. A structured asset definition—whether for bulk materials or tagged items—enables clients to effectively catalog, classify, track, and manage materials throughout the entire downstream data chain.
Disparate Data Sets
In today’s process there are a ton of data points from different disciplines which need to be connected, understood and actioned. By having the right tools, work processes and reporting available you can make quicker decisions.
Lack of Integrated Planning
Whether for capital projects or operations & maintenance, not fully integrating materials management into planning activities results in adverse effects to projects or maintenance work orders. This leads to low confidence in project planning, delays or outages due to missing materials, and reduced ability to complete forecasting or look-ahead planning activities.
Siloed Work Processes
The Materials Management lifecycle is a work process that engages every discipline and function of an organization at one point or another, from engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance, finance and all others in between.
Each function knows its role in the lifecycle, but these work processes often are not aligned or integrated across an organization’s functions or divisions. This leads to misalignment, duplicate data or lack of trust in data causing unrealistic expectations, delays or missing material based on requirements and availability.
