The Complete Material Management Bootcamp

Course overview

What function does material management serve?

The practice of meticulously planning, arranging, and overseeing procedures related to the movement of materials is known as material management. This procedure is essential to keeping supply chain management and operations running smoothly.

Which kinds of material management exist?

Purchasing raw materials, as well as managing their amount, quality, and support for smaller goods, are all part of materials management. The majority of the finished product and total manufacturing cost are attributed to the raw material. Since this process makes up the largest portion of the final product, it must be handled carefully. The cost of materials has a significant effect on a company’s production pace as well as its profit margin. Creating policies for the procurement of materials while considering variables like cost, quantity, and quality falls within the purview of materials management.
