materiaaliluettelo

Matiaaliluettelo is a catalog or list of materials and components required for a project, product, or construction. It records what is needed, often including raw materials, parts, fasteners, and finishing elements, to support planning, procurement, production, and inventory control. The term is commonly used in Finnish engineering, manufacturing, and construction contexts.

A materiaaliluettelo normally contains data essential for ordering and handling materials. Typical fields include item number, name or description, material type, specifications or standards, quantity, unit, dimensions, tolerances, finish, supplier or manufacturer part number, lead time, price, storage location, and notes. The level of detail may vary according to discipline, project size, and the systems used.

Formats range from simple tabular documents to complex databases. It can exist as a standalone list, be embedded in design drawings, or be integrated with CAD, BIM, or ERP systems. In manufacturing, the lijst often corresponds to a bill of materials (BOM); in construction, it may serve as the materials section of a construction or procurement plan. The exact terminology and scope can differ by industry, but the core purpose remains the same: to specify what is needed, when, and by whom.

Best practices include consistent item numbering, standardized descriptions, alignment with standards, revision control, and linkage to procurement and inventory systems. A well-maintained materiaaliluettelo supports cost estimation, supplier negotiation, and efficient material flow throughout the project lifecycle.
