Course Overview
This unique Material Cataloguing, Specifications & Storage Planning training course is aimed at assisting delegates to develop skills and competence on how to establish and maintain a comprehensive materials and product catalogue to support business and operations covering all operational, maintenance and supporting activities. Skill set on how to ensure timely supply and services of the right products from the right sources will also be covered. Understanding and confidently provide standard product specification in line with approved standards such as API, ASTM, BS, JIS, DIN and other renowned standards.
Delegates would be able to equip themselves on how to categorize and integrate master product catalogue into User’s Parts list of equipment/plant and machineries including production, maintenance and construction materials list. This MHMMD training course will also provide delegates on how to effectively maintain records related to products, standards, specifications and certifications to ensure prompt provision of information including statistics and exercises related to master catalogue.
Training Objectives
- To review, analyse and classify the stock (inventory) line items for its adequacy and completeness of specification, catalogue group, validity, compliance and its linkage of the user’s requirement.
- Know how to gather and assemble data of non-stock materials (direct purchase materials) from various user divisions / departments
- Able to classify and assign appropriate product group and to integrate with master product catalogue
- To understand how to develop unique product / catalogue identification code / part identifications for all products and services in line with International accepted cataloguing system and procedure to ensure technical and commercial integrity of the product and equipment
- Ability to use Configuration Management Systems
- To appraise standard technical specification, acceptable quality standards and in compliance with global Health, Safety, Environment and Quality Management systems
- Know how to assign storage and handling procedure based on the manufacturer’s guidelines
Training Methodology
This Material Cataloguing, Specifications & Storage Planning training course will be delivered by number of short and long class exercises, team working and presentation, video, situation-based case studies, work-based problem solving, awareness of various Materials Management Systems and Configuration Management Systems.
Organisational Impact
This MHMMD training course will review and analyse in depth the Materials Cataloguing, Specification and Storage Planning with sound knowledge of International Standards such as API, ASTM, ANSI, BS, EC, JIS, DIN, SOLAS, DOT and IMDG. Delegates will be equipped with state of art Materials Management System processes and procedures. Participants will also be able to review and process generalization of proprietary materials in order to reduce inventory and storage cost and to provide technical and commercial support on materials specification and catalogue references. Delegates will be better equipped in terms of providing meaningful and effective suggestions for enhancement of Materials Management System. Participants will know how to control, monitor and supervise catalogue review and contribute effectively in clean up data (configuration management of data) in the Material Management Systems.
