System Design and Computer Application for Materials Management

Systems and computers have provided materials management with dynamic control of the entire materials cycle, from procurement through shipment, with full lot/location traceability. The use of a functional design allows for “dock to stock” tracking, including the often overlooked functions of receiving, inspection, materials disposition, and vendor evaluation. This methodology has changed the way materials management operates in the organization.
