Research ＆ Development of Computerized Materials Management System

The materials management of Xinyu Xingang Specialty Steel Co. Ltd. features big number of warehouses, great variety of materials and price variation of a single kind of material. Therefore owing to so a great deal of work, the conventional manually-operated system would not be applicable for the said management and would fail to provide proper distribution & logistics and reduce purchase and stocking costs under the precondition of satisfying the requirements for the production and materials quality. To meet the said purpose, a computerized materials management system has been developed of which the configuration, design and research etc. are described here in the paper. Actual operation of the system has shown that it is easy to operate and very applicable for the said management, having met relevant expectations.
