| July 20 - Global Materials Management Solutions (GMMS) Update |
|
Presented by Reg Hunter, an independent Productivity Improvement Strategist and an Engineered Systems Solution Designer
GMMS represents a collaboration of established construction industry logistics, materials information management and engineered solutions providers, working in concert with owners, EPCs, fabricators, BIM and FIM suppliers to realize an integrated and deployable materials management solution that provides end-to-end visibility, predictability, traceability, chain-of-custody and control of construction materials. This webinar will provide the reduction-to-practice overview of GMMS, which represents the next logical step from the concepts and strategies highlighted in previous FIATECH productivity improvement webinars (Feb 17 - Planning for Productivity Improvement: Capital Construction Projects), FIATECH productivity improvement pre-conference workshops, conference exhibits, and presentations. In addition, the concepts and motivations for GMMS is discussed in the upcoming RFID for Material Management and Productivity Improvement book, soon to be released by FIATECH. To facilitate reduction-to-practice assessments, a GMMS demonstration deployment has been made at the Panprojects/Panalpina facility located near the Houston airport. This allows all aspects of the system to be evaluated and refined without disruption to any construction jobsite and also enables ongoing evaluation of productivity improvement systems and technologies.
