SiteManager Materials Workgroup
38
Material Categories

• Design materials
• QM materials
• Quantity based materials
• Tested materials

39
In a perfect world

• Mix designs could be associated to CCSJ / items
  of work. The design would need to be valid
  (up-to-date) to be used. If a producer was
  expired the design would no longer be valid.
  Assuming all producers were valid the mix design
  would satisfy QM sourcing requirements for the
  item.

40
QM Samples (sourcing)

• QM based on sourcing.
• Once an approved source is added no sample should
  be required. We have too many samples in the
  system already.
• Need a utility to manage producers / suppliers /
  materials also need to modify SiteManager to work
  off valid producers for QM materials.

Initial Prototype Contract ST will be selected
by CSJ, Project, and then MATERIAL.
45
Initial Prototype Conversion factor editing.
46
Initial Prototype Material QM sourcing will be
built into the window. QM sourcing now done
manually by copying samples will be automatic /
Mix Design association.
47
Initial Prototype Mix designs, will be
associated to the project by the inspector
through the DWR window
48
Initial Prototype Contract Materials sampling
and testing editing.
49
Initial Prototype The sampling checklist report
will be moved inside the contract sampling and
testing window. To display all materials ST
requirements.
50
Initial Prototype The status tab will display
the materials deficiencies.
