QMS is a fully integrated system for the management of all phases of the material management process in a project environment. Tracking commences from the Material Take-off (Bill of Materials) and continues through generating requisitions/inquiries, purchase orders and then moving to site, though deliveries (receipts), movements and the issuing of materials. The system automates much of the materials control process from automatic generation of material quantities for purchase through to automatic generation of issue and movement dockets while keeping a complete history of all changes.

QMS is a system designed specifically for the management of large quantities of bulk materials such as pipe and fittings, insulation, electrical and instrumentation, and/or structural steel on major resource projects.

Developed in the mid 1990s and fine tuned with customer feedback from it’s use on key Oil and Gas and Power Station projects in S.E. Asia, QMS is proven to deliver a massive return on investment by improving the productivity of materials controllers and reducing the risk of material shortages that are commonly caused by a changing design and late deliveries.

The focus of QMS is primarily on the procurement and construction end of the project materials process. QMS starts by importing the Material Requirements (BOM or MTO) from the design system (PDMS, PMS, etc) and then manages the process of:

• Tracking changes to the requirements as the design progresses.
• Generation of inquiries and purchase orders for materials.
• Expediting and recording material deliveries.
• Control of material deliveries.
• Control of material issues and movements.
• Inventory/Stock control management.
• Management of material traceability.
• Progress monitoring.

QMS helps you ensure that the materials you need on site are available as required and that a complete audit trail is maintained at each phase of the materials management process.
