Material readiness

Determine whether the correct material for a work package is physically present and accepted at receipt. Ordered, or in stock on paper, does not count.

See why ERP cannot answer this
  • Records
  • Released work
  • Physical build
  • Human authority

What happensCritical material does not arrive, or arrives on hold. The area loses executable work while labor and access windows keep running.

  1. Receipt lands with a hold, Records

    Two of the nine spools are in stores, made to the revision Rev D supersedes. ERP counts what was purchased and landed, which is not the same as usable at the revision that governs this work.

  2. The kit is checked against the package, Records

    The material gate reads open for WP-019. Bought, landed, reserved and accepted are four different facts in three different systems.

  3. Executable work disappears, Released work

    The work planned for the shift and the work the yard can physically do stop being the same list, and only one of them is on the schedule.

  4. The consequence reaches steel

    Labor and access strand, Physical build

    A crew and a released access window in zone MS-03 are both committed to work that cannot start, and both are consumed whether or not it does.

  5. Material control dispositions, Human authority

    Accept, substitute, or resequence. Production then re-releases against the material that is actually there.

What it costsA crew can be blocked, install the wrong material, or close work without the evidence that the material was accepted.

How VeldBuild answers it

Is the WP-019 kit complete and accepted, or short at receipt?

What it reads

Scope
The material kit for one work package, governing revision, physical location, receipt lot, certificate set, and applicable discrepancies.
Records
Work-package material kit · Purchase and receipt records · Receipt acceptance and discrepancy state · Material certificates and evidence · Change notices that re-specify material
Evidence it needs
Receipt and acceptance records · Discrepancy records · Material certificates · Kit-to-work-package linkage

What it computes

Steps
  • Distinguish ordered, received, physically located, and accepted state
  • Check quantity, specification, lot, certificate, discrepancy, and revision applicability
  • Never treat receipt as acceptance
Output
Accepted or short, item by item: what is held, why, and the revision each item must clear against.

What stays with people

Left unknown
  • Missing certificate or lot trace
  • Unestablished physical location
  • Unresolved discrepancy or revision applicability
Decided by
  • VeldBuild reports the accepted-material state; it does not accept material or clear a discrepancy
  • Material control owns receipt acceptance and disposition

What would prove it on real records

Test
Reconcile a live ERP, receiving, and quality slice against floor-verified kits and reviewed material-control dispositions.
  1. Which items are held, and against what discrepancy?
  2. Which held items must clear against the pending revision?

If your team answers this by hand, start with one work area.

Email the release decision, the systems that hold its records, and who owns it. Keep the first message non-confidential.
