- Abstract
- This handbook is the product of two and one-half years of effort by the Materials Management Task Force of the Construction Industry Institute (CII). The Materials Management Task Force was formed in February 1984. It has guided research and document preparation in the rapidly growing areas of construction materials management. Prior to 1982 there was little documentation on this subject, but as is evident from the Bibliography there have been a considerable number of publications since 1982. The Construction Industry Cost Effectiveness (CICE) Project Report A6.5 (Business Roundtable 1983) was the first major research effort published on the subject of construction materials management. A condensation of this study is included in the Modern Management Systems Report A6 (Business Roundtable 1982). The Materials Management Task Force has subsequently published a series of documents shown in the Bibliography. Some of the chapters and appendices in this handbook (e.g., Chapter 2) are the original source documents published by the Task Force. The report on Atrtributes of Materials Management Systems (Stukhart and Bell 1985), and Costs and Benefits of Materials Management System (Bell and Stukhart 1986) are the foundation for much of the material included in this volume, and are referred to in several chapters. This handbook is designed to be used by all project materials management personnel but is emphasizes the industrial construction sector, reflecting primarily the background of the authors of the chapters.
