For over 30 years the Magus expertise has supported diverse projects in both lump-sum and reimbursable business environments. The Magus Material Solution has sustained Procurement and Construction activities in excess of $2.5B worth of bulk commodities to date.

All bulk materials are associated with 20% to 35% of the EPC/M project TIC. The following are historical surplus bulk material averages (as provided by the suppliers) at project completion:

As an example, a $500M (TIC) facility will potentially purchase $50-70M in piping bulk materials. In this example, every 1% of surplus is aprox. $500-700K. Using the historical averages above, Magus offers a probable savings of $12M vs Construction and $10M vs EPC in material costs alone.

Successful Material Management includes the complete range of activities that focus on getting the right material, to the right place, at the right time, and in the most cost effective way.

What key advantages does the MAGUS MATERIAL SOLUTION offer?

The types of projects that Magus Material Solution ideally suited for:

What is Material Management?

Material Management is the complete range of activities that focus on getting the right material, to the right place, at the right time, and in the most cost effective way.

Applies to engineered, bulk, fabricated materials.

What is Material Control?

Material Control is the function that supports and manages the Key Performance Indicators of Quality, Quantity, Acquisition, Schedule and Cost.

Primarily used to control the bulk commodities such as Piping, Electrical, Instrumentation, and Structural Steel.

Why Material Control?

Improve productivity and directly lowers project costs through better work planning and less costly rework.

Provides procurement with accurate bulk material requirements.

Reduces the combined costs of excess inventory, storage, handling and maintenance.

Acts as a continuous measurement of project material budgets.

Enhances project schedule expectations.

Surplus management (minimize surplus).

What about "Surplus"?

Surplus is a key measure of the materials process effectiveness.

Surplus and Shortage are frequently related and often have a common cause.

Supplying too much of any material creates a Surplus to the project, and increases cost by consuming budget

Supply of the wrong material creates a Shortage, and will have an immediate impact on the budget and schedule.
