Materials Management 6 Materials Management Materials Management 6How our society uses materials has a fundamental effect on the economy and the environment. Inefficient and wasteful use of materials not only challenges the capacity of the earth—air, water, land, minerals, and other resources—but also the accessibility and affordability of the materials that we as a society rely on to function. For the Mid-Hudson Region, our goal is to shift from the status quo, where much of the material used in the Region is shipped to other parts of NYS or the US for disposal, to a future where the Region is self-sufficient in materials management, ultimately achieving a ‘zero waste’ outcome. Our plan centers on developing regional solutions to maximize the value of materials and extend their useful lifecycle, to: h Reduce waste generation h Decrease the impact of materials transportation for disposal/recovery h Increase reuse, recycling, composting h Enhance local market creation for improved materials recovery outcomes To achieve these objectives, we must: h Expand organics recycling h Increase material reuse h Promote product stewardship and Environmentally Preferable Purchasing h Pilot new technologies h Implement transportation improvements h Facilitate inter-county cooperation h Change policy to improve local management capacity 6-1 Mid-Hudson Regional Sustainability Plan Materials management seeks to understand how its objectives through the NYS Solid Waste Manage- society uses materials in an effort to change behavior, ment Plan, funding, permitting, and approval of local create smart policy, and implement programs to fulfill plans and facility applications. needs and ensure prosperity while using less mate- In the Mid-Hudson Region, each county serves as a rial, reducing toxic waste and exposure to hazardous formal Solid Waste Management Planning Unit, pro- substances, and recovering and reusing or recycling as viding oversight, guidance, and in some cases running much of the material consumed as possible. facilities and other infrastructure and services.

ISBN 978-88-95608-68-6; ISSN 2283-9216 DOI: 10.3303/CET1871083 Engineering Management and Cost Control of Petrochemical Projects Jingjing Song, Zhiwei Helian* School of Economics and Management, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China [email protected] With the increasing developing of petrochemical engineering construction market, China has accumulated rich experience in project engineering management and cost control, but has not yet established a complete cost control performance evaluation system, and the traditional project cost control method has been unable to meet the cost requirements under the new project management environment. For this, this paper studies the engineering management and cost control system theory of petrochemical projects, and builds one petrochemical project cost control system. The analysis results show that mature project management mode has been increasingly applied in petrochemical projects. The construction of the engineering cost control early warning system can achieve the objective of cost control. The related cost control performance evaluation system can greatly improve the actual engineering cost control level and realize the quantification and standardization of cost control performance evaluation. 1. Introduction Petrochemical projects involve various fields in the country such as import and export, labour, capital, and economic politics (Liu et al., 2018; Bovsunovskaya, 2016). In terms of project management, due to different climatic conditions, technical standards and backgrounds of different countries, the management of engineering projects is faced with great challenges (Willems and Vanhoucke, 2015).

    International Journal of Research ISSN NO:2236-6124 A STUDY ON ROLE OF MATERIAL MANAGEMENT ON PERFORMANCE OF THE SALEM CO-OPERATIVE SUGAR MILLS LTD AT MOHANUR 1Dr. V.M. Anitha Rajathi 2P. Vijay Ragul Assistant professor, Student University College of Engineering, Tiruchirappalli ABSTRACT Material management is a tool to optimize performance in meeting customer service requirements at the same time adding to profitability by minimizing cost and making the best use of available resources. The main objective of the study was to assess the role of material management on the performance of “The Salem cooperative sugar mills ltd”. A sample of 150 respondents was selected from this population using the stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, consisting mainly of closed ended and open ended questions. The data was analyzed by the descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and percentages. The study advocated that a lot of emphasis need to be directed to material management in sugar mills in order to achieve significant cost saving, reduction in wastes and production cost and to achieve increase in profitability and product quality. The study recommended that sugar mill have to adopt information technology and to be fully computerized, use of proper codes in all materials and have to train the employees to increase the knowledge on the use of inventory control systems in the future. KEYWORDS: Material management, organizational performance, inventory control systems. INTRODUCTION In the earlier years, the material management was considered as a cost center. Purchasing department was spending more cost on the goods and materials, while store huge amount of materials in inventory, blocking money and space (Ramakrishna 2005).

    Information Technology Policy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Management ITP Number Effective Date ITP-SFT008 February 22, 2017 Category Supersedes Software None Contact Scheduled Review [email protected] February 2018 1. Purpose The purpose of this Information Technology Policy (ITP) is to establish enterprise-wide standards and policy for the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and its modules. 2. Scope This Information Technology Policy (ITP) applies to all departments, boards, commissions and councils under the Governor’s jurisdiction. Agencies not under the Governor’s jurisdiction are strongly encouraged to follow this ITP. 3. Policy Customer Relationship Management (CRM) CRM software entails all aspects of interaction a company has with its customer, whether it is sales or service related. CRM allows marketers to gain the essential business insights needed to make intelligent decisions, focus on customers to drive demand, and increase customer retention. It also facilitates a better way to manage marketing resources to do more with less. CRM solutions provide the following capabilities: • Align marketing resources to support organizational objectives • Understand the returns on marketing spending • Accelerate marketing processes with increased visibility and control • Drive customer demand with targeted marketing messages • Identity and retain high-value customers with customer loyalty programs • Establish a standard, streamlined marketing process with a central marketing platform Agencies requiring new or updating existing CRM applications are to leverage the CRM solution available from Integrated Enterprise Systems (IES) when the IES customer relationship management solution meets the agencies’ business requirements. Current standards and product availability are in section 4 of this ITP. Agencies are to analyze their CRM business requirements and assess the business value of integration and exchange of information with the Commonwealth’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
