| Materiel Management coordinates
and controls materials for Facilities Management
and functions as a liaison between Facilities
Management and UCLA Purchasing. Relatively
new to the department, Materiel Management
has replaced the more traditional procurement
emphasis on order processing with a more
proactive approach that forecasts and plans
for material needs and establishes inventory
policies and procedures. The new approach
has improved material availability and reduced
obsolete and excess material, resulting
in fewer shortages and better client response
and efficiency.
Materiel Management uses a centralized, automated
MRO supplies warehouse and
bar code technology to track materials to make
maximum use of existing, and reduce
overall, departmental inventory. The system
provides increased accuracy in billing,
inventory costing and quantity-on-hand data
to increase our negotiating position while
monitoring vendor performance. In additon, we
are responsible for tracking the
inventorial assets.
