At present the primary challenge for the industry partner, ACQBUILT, Inc., is not only to improve its**manufacturing process in order to reduce time and cost, but to improve inventory management in accordance**with the JIT principle (which can also provide significant benefits such as increased cash flow by reducing the**inventory holding cost), and to establish real-time data collection for more effective decision making. Although**these inventory management operations are supportive services considered vital from a management**perspective, ineffective control of inventory and internal supply chain can disrupt the company's cash flow and**lower its productivity. Hence, the industry partner is seeking to improve the performance of inventory**management such that real-time data collection can be achieved in terms of both field operation and**administrative aspects of the ERP system. In order to improve the current state, a four-step methodology is**proposed that will be carried out over six months in collaboration with the industry partner.**STAGE 1: Analyze the efficiency of the current state of inventory management and processes; STAGE 2:**Develop a real-time data acquisition system to collect real-time data for inventory management; STAGE 3:**Plan and develop an integrated material management system to collaborate with the existing ERP system;**STAGE 4: Plan an optimal inventory layout based on cost-benefit analysis, and identify avenues for future**research**A material management system can capture all dynamic data in real time and effectively synthesize it along the**internal supply chain associated with various types of resources. With the assistance of a feature-based**modelling method, real-time information collection can be merged into an ERP system. For these reasons, this**research will benefit the industry partner (and the construction manufacturing industry in general), and enhance**its inventory and supply chain management practice in order to further leverage the benefits of a construction**manufacturing approach.

目前，行业合作伙伴ACQBUILT， Inc.面临的主要挑战不仅是改进其制造工艺以减少时间和成本，而且要根据JIT原则改进库存管理（这也可以通过降低库存持有成本来增加现金流等显著效益），并建立实时数据收集以进行更有效的决策。虽然从管理的角度来看，这些库存管理操作是至关重要的支持性服务，但对库存和内部供应链的无效控制可能会扰乱公司的现金流，降低生产力。因此，工业伙伴正在设法改进库存管理的性能，以便能够在ERP系统的现场操作和管理方面实现实时数据收集。为了改善目前的状况，提出了一个四步骤的方法，将在六个月内与行业合作伙伴合作实施。**第一阶段：分析当前库存管理和流程的效率状况；第二阶段：**开发实时数据采集系统，收集库存管理的实时数据；第三阶段：**计划和开发一个集成的物料管理系统，与现有的ERP系统协同工作；**STAGE 4：基于成本效益分析，规划最优库存布局，并确定未来**研究的途径**物料管理系统可以实时捕获所有动态数据，并沿着**与各类资源相关的内部供应链进行有效的综合。借助基于特征的**建模方法，可以将实时信息采集合并到ERP系统中。由于这些原因，这项研究将有利于行业合作伙伴（以及一般的建筑制造业），并加强其库存和供应链管理实践，以进一步利用建筑制造方法的好处。
