Codification of MaterialsIt is also called as Identification of material
Useful in operation department
Record of each of the item
Proper stock-taking a good identification is of immense help
Proper codification of inventories item
Codification by Group Classification
What do we mean by coding For instance, 010237 inventory kind of gasket
E.g. classification of materials in an inventories Ø01-Raw materialØ02-purchase componentsØ03-spare partØ04-toolsØ05-other supplies
Codification by Group Classification
Based on ‘shape’ of itemsØ1….WireØ2….TubingØ3….RodØ4….BarØ5….SheetØ6….stripLike that the material of construction, Group of
classification, particular item code be codedNine digit code identify the finished product
Codification by Group Classification
Mnemonic Coding MethodØNumber and alphabet used ØE.g. SH 015 60 mean ‘ a shunt, 150 amps., 60 m V.’
Hybrid system of coding ØGroup classification and mnemonic codesØE.g. PI 1 1015 ‘pipe, Vinyl hosepipe, 10mm.ID*15mm ED.’
Characteristics of Good Coding System
ØFlexibility
ØPrecision
ØBrevity
ØComprehensiveness
Standardization of Materials
Codification helps in the standardization of item in the inventory
Reducing the variety of inventory to workable minimum
Standardization of materialsAdvantages
ØPurchase cost will be lower ØLess stocks need to be maintained for current
consumption as well as for safety stockØPaper work reduceØStreamlining the material planning process
