Methodology for Indirect Material Control in a White Line Company

Abstract

At the fierce level that companies generally find themselves in, it is no longer allowed to let the missing material off the shelf of a stock, be it material that is part of the product or indirect material that assists in assembly activity. People involved in the item buying activity need to have full control of inventory, whether planning, changing the planned or planning the unexpected. For the preparation of this study, the daily activity of indirect stock operators of a White Line Company was observed. The factory material control system (ERP) has many functions that made control complex. In parallel to the ERP system, a material control worksheet was created and shared in the cloud that allows all necessary information regarding an item to be easily viewed, where the indirect material worksheet manager needs to update daily by downloading every morning information from the ERP system. Getting better inventory supply chain management, better execution of activities.
