- Abstract
In the construction project delive1y process, the supply chain of construction businesses can only be efficient and effective based on the prompt availability of building materials. \Vhereas, the process of requisition for the materials on the construction site, if not handled appropriately, can adversely affect construction perfonnance. Therefore, the study was aimed at developing a web-based material requisition system (W-BMRS) that will make the supply chain on construction sites seamless and more effective. A use case and an activity block diagram provided an understanding of the users and functionalities of the material requisition platfonn. In addition, using a different user interface and a database system including a programming language to connect them, the study developed a web-based material requisition system for construction finns using the model view controller (MVC) model. The MVC model comprised of using MySQL, HTML, and PHP. The W-BMRS was tested by sending materials requisition through the supply chain of a construction finn. The results were presented via screenshots of the web-based platfonn. In conclusion, any construction firm can register on the platform and make use of the web-based materials requisition system to maximize productivity and optimize the use of ICT in their materials' supply chain process.
