Tracking Materials Real-Time in Construction Execution
Effective materials management significantly impacts whether or not a construction or maintenance project remains on schedule and on/under budget. Materials-related workflows, such as warehouse management, still often rely heavily on paper-based data or other rudimentary systems, resulting in errors and poor project outcomes.
Getting the right materials to the right place at the right time and in the correct sequencing are a major driver to the success of any construction execution.
Putting people first in digital materials tracking
Materials management efficiency impacts everything from schedules to budget to carbon footprint of a project. Even established companies remain entrenched in outdated material management systems because it's what people are comfortable with.
Successful digital transformation is human-led not technology-led. The human predisposition to resist change must be addressed to lubricate a pathway toward a more efficient, more profitable, more sustainable digital future. MODS recognizes the importance of putting people in the driver's seat of digital transformation and lends experience with change management toward the successful uptake and scalability of new digital technologies, including materials management systems.
The value of going digital with materials management software
Handover and information management are susceptible to various issues, including confusion, miscommunication, safety lapses and compliance gaps due to the lack of an accessible, easy to navigate, centralized database.
In the current environment, it is increasingly difficult for Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) firms as well as owners and/or operators of industrial assets to maintain commercial viability and sustain existing assets in the long run. Industry-wide adoption of efficiency-enhancing technology is essentail to maximizing and sustaining ROIs.
