 Abstract

I have framed my project Current Inventory practices of real estate developers with
Building Technologies and Idea' Ltd. During the course of our project I was able to study
the material flow in the construction sector as per the scheduled activity and requirement.
As per our project's focus I made a positive attempt to analyze the flow of materials
throughout the project in terms of its usage as per the oncoming requirement of the
proposed activity.

Primarily Inventory management is about specifying the size and placement of stocked
goods at various stages of the project. Inventory management is required at different
locations within a facility or within multiple locations of a supply network to protect the
regular and planned course of production against the random disturbance of running out
of materials or goods yielding in profits.

The material layout also avoids confusion and risks thereby creating a safe atmosphere in
the construction site. The role of material management in various organizational
functional activities such as material purchasing decision, material forecasting, material
planning and budgeting, selection of potential information from sources are identified as
key learnings of the project. Also, inventory management with direct linkage with other
functional areas of management such as TMQ, HRM, IT etc and application of tools &
techniques of inventory classification in the real life situation that elaborates on stock
levels and rating analysis.

I also took a stand to find out the techniques to select vendors and various aspects in source
selection stressing on the local source who is in a reachable limit from the construction
site, with its positive and negative analysis since the key to successful analysis is to
identify the important characteristics of the particular purchase.

The graphical representation of our analysis is a result of the work I carried through our
project. It educates the trigger points, the point which helps the staff in charge creating an
order for the material so that the work shall not stop.
