BRIEF INTRODUCTION

ICT materials, components and assemblies have its specifications

before it will be purchased. As a learner you are expected to be familiar
with the properties of these materials, products and the factors to be
considered should be your basis in choosing the proper materials,
components and assemblies.

3
 The Factors in Selecting the Materials:

1. Selection of material – it is the ability to choose the materials using the

following considerations:
• Cost of the material – is the amount of purchasing the materials, it may
differ from one supplier to another even if the specifications are the
same.
• Environmental consideration – anything that leads to the pollution of
soil, water and air, especially its energy consumption impact. At the
end of ICT hardware use, recycling, disposal like e-waste this would be
used in landfills and would provide impact and effect to the
environment.
• Chemical properties – is a material properties evident during the time
of its use will show chemical reaction.
• Physical properties – the identifiable and unique aspect of a material
most particularly its basic capabilities.
• Mechanical attributes – the physical properties that any material
exhibits when applied with forces, such as elasticity, tensile strength,
elongation, hardness and fatigue limit.
• Company producing the material – the business name provides
identity to the business and the product it produces, especially when
the enterprise produces unique and amazing products.

2. Testing of material – this will help analyze the quality and standards of
materials using the following techniques:
• Hardness tester – any device that checks the hardness of a material
by measuring the durability of such material.
• Comprehensive strength test – it is more of mechanical test that
measures the maximum amount of compressive load a material can
bear before such material breaks.
• Impact test – is used to observe the mechanics how the material
exhibit when it experience shock and such material immediately
deform.
• Fluoroscope – is an imaging machine which uses X-rays to determine
the interior characteristics of an object.
• Testing machine – a universal tester for materials for testing tensile
strength and compressive strength of materials.
• Creep test – is subjecting the material to high temperature progressive
deformation at constant stress test or ability to alter its form after such
test has been taken.

3. Cost of material – the amount when buying or selecting the materials for
specific project. Though this is economical in the selection process, the
amount must consider also the quality and reliability of materials.

4
 The ICT Materials, Components, Assemblies and Its Specifications

In relation to the factors in selecting the materials, as a learner, you

need to be familiar with the ICT materials, components and assemblies’
specifications. Not just the name of these items, you must be particular also
on how to describe details about such item.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The work order and standard procedure (Standard Operation

Procedure – SOP) are statements the learners should be familiar with to
ensure good work procedures are set in proper order and condition. This is
used to give directions and clarity to all those concerned individuals.

9
 The SOP in Material Options

The learner should be familiar and include a standard operation

procedure (SOP) in material selection particularly those that are useful such
as computer, parts, properties, installation materials, networking and
troubleshooting on the following items in terms of:

• Good quality – free from any

deficiencies
- Check product inspection
record
- Physical inspection
• Reliable – consistent
performance
• Low cost – inexpensive, cheap
• Suitable for the application or
purpose – right quality for its
intended use

Mock-up view of computer

components and assemblies

 What Should be Done When Receiving the Materials

The SOP or things to be done as soon as you receive materials.

• Match the packing slip or

marking slip of the items
received with the paper
itineraries
• The materials received is
indicated in the purchase
order
• Materials of acceptable
conditions
• Setup or installation terms
Check the item before signing the are met
paper itineraries of received materials

 Things to Do When the Materials or Goods are Received

10
 • Place the paper/document in a
record folder or cabinet
• Use administrative software to
document electronic data of
received materials/goods
• Set aside those items that are
defective or goods to be
returned.

Checking the bar code of the

received materials

 When is Return of Materials/Goods/Merchandise an Option

• Incomplete materials received

from the suppliers
• Defective materials
• Make arrangement with the
supplier regarding incomplete
materials or change of
defective materials

Returned merchandise

 Making the Inventory Report of Materials

• Monitor how many materials

are available and already at
hand
• Record purchases of
materials
• Report damages of materials

Monitor the received materials

11
 The Learners on Effective Management and Efficient
Responsibilities

Act as quality checker – record the date of receipt, name of materials

purchased, quantity, official receipt number, signature of the person who
bought the materials.

= Log report to be accomplished by the quality checker

Date OR # Item Quantity Signature Quality
Received Name Checker

• Monitor and coordinate the checking requirements – identify the

materials that are in good condition, damage or needing replacements.

= Assessment form of materials received

Quality Checker: Date:
Item Name Total # in Good Total # of Errors Comments
Condition

• Generate reports when receiving the materials – record data of the

reports both record book and digital format (administrative software)
