Construction Performance and Materials Management
Implement metrics-oriented performance management processes to increase transparency, reduce waste, and proactively address global supply chain challenges.
Measuring project performance and effective materials management is a vital part of a Built Environment project management process. In this course, you will learn the key challenges in Performance Measurement and Materials Management, and the best practices recommended to address these challenges, including how to use the right metrics to manage and monitor performance throughout a Built Environment project lifecycle.
- How to build a project performance strategy
- The core progress measurement methods, how they work, and when they are useful
- Tools and techniques for effective materials management.
