| Abstract | In developing countries like India, the contractor organizations face a lot of problems in managing the construction materials. Due to growing demand and competition the contractor organizations need to adopt certain standard procedures for managing the construction materials. Procedures for complicated problems like material management can be illustrated through the help of information modelling of the process. Information models help in analysing the system and redesigning it. Hence material management information models help in making the material management of the contractors easier. This study develops information models of material management process for contractor organization through qualitative analysis. The tasks and process involved in the material management were identified and mapped. The existing practice of the material management is evaluated and problems were identified. Certain process changes and recommendations are suggested to the eliminate the problems. Generalized information model of the material management process is developed by this study. This information model of the material management process can be used by contractor organizations for improving their process. |
