MATCONTRK is a specialized module within the EPCPROMAN suite, developed by PARASCADD, specifically designed to streamline material control and facilitate proactive look-ahead planning for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects.

Features

Transit

This feature allows tracking and management of materials in transit, offering visibility into quantity, location, and expected arrival.

SRN (Shipment Released Note)

Maintains logs of shipment releases from vendors, helping verify if the material has been dispatched as per the PO and track delivery performance.

CDD (Contractual Delivery Date)

Records the date promised by vendors for delivery and flags any delays against these commitments.

FDD (Forecasted Delivery Date)

Tracks revised, forecasted delivery dates to reflect real-time vendor updates or logistic changes.

Input Module

Collects critical parameters required to initiate the look-ahead analysis, including MTO category (e.g., preliminary or top-up), line-wise and store-wise material priority.

Look-Ahead Planning Engine

At the heart of MATCONTRK lies its powerful Look-Ahead Planning capability. This feature provides visibility into material readiness by analyzing a combination of key inputs: Material Take-Offs (MTOs), Purchase Orders (POs), Commitment Due Dates (CDDs), Forecasted Delivery Dates (FDDs), Estimated Time of Arrival (ETAs), items currently in transit, and material receipt confirmations such as DRRs and MRRs. The system supports look-ahead planning against multiple MTO stages, including Preliminary, Intermediate, Final, and Top-Up MTOs. It also offers the capability to track material consignments using a combination of key delivery milestones such as SRN, FDD, CDD, and transit dates. MATCONTRK allows planners to conduct material availability analysis on a daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis. This timeline-based approach ensures that project teams can forecast short-term needs while also aligning with long-term material procurement strategies.

Reports

Produces configurable, exportable reports that provide insight into material readiness, potential shortfalls, and delivery status, supporting construction planning and procurement escalation.

Material Availability Analysis

One of the key strengths of MATCONTRK is its ability to produce actionable insights through its look-ahead analysis. It categorizes line readiness into classifications such as Completely Possible, Partially Possible, Not Possible, depending on the availability of required materials. The system also generates Material Constraint Lists, which help pinpoint specific items or assemblies that are likely to delay progress. These insights serve as valuable decision-making tools for both the planning and procurement teams. MATCONTRK enhances project predictability, strengthens cross-functional coordination, and supports efficient execution of construction work fronts.
