1. Q: Our company already has a set of material coding system. Is it necessary to use the Universal Material Coding System(UMCS)?
A: Actually, many companies have established its own material coding system for internal material management. But normally, there are many players in a project, such as engineering companies, owners, suppliers, logistic contractor, etc. The company's proprietary material coding system is difficult for outside users' access. UMCS is to build an open coding platform for all players who take part in a project. Everyone can look up material code on this platform.
UMCS and the company own code system are not contradictory. If the material code is only used within the company, there is no problem for company material code. If there are many users outside of the company take part in the project, it is better to use UMCS instead of company proprietary coding system.
2. Q: How to look up the material code of the known materials?
A: The so-called "known materials" should be the materials that the user already knows the material name and specifications. User can visit the UMCS main page(www.e-umc.com), and type the material name into searching box to search the material directly. UMCS will show the material list.
Click the required material link to access the material name page.
In the specifications list, select the specifications of the material, click the search button, user can find the material code.
