Organise, control and monitor supplies of materials
Overview
"This standard is about organising, controlling and monitoring supplies of materials by managing the supply of materials for the project, evaluating the performance of the supply chain and making improvements in the acquisition, storage and use of materials for the project in accordance with current organisational requirements which are equal to or exceed current statutory and legislative requirements.
This standard is for people working in the occupational area of construction site management which is defined as the management of multiple construction trades and disciplines and can be used by supervisors and managers"
