The present invention relates to a method for integrally managing material information in a supply chain chain system, and more particularly, to a method and system for efficiently managing information on materials necessary for production of finished products or semi-finished products, And a system therefor.

Generally, companies that produce raw materials, parts, assemblies, and finished products provide information about their products to customers who purchase the products they produce. In spite of providing information on their products through the Supply Chain System, it is troublesome to provide product information separately on the homepage in order to secure another customer.

In this case, many suppliers are required to post information on the information publishing site separately from the information supply through the supply chain system each time a new product comes out. If the information is not posted, the information of the product can not be promoted. A great inconvenience may be caused.

The demand for information in the supply chain between the buyer and the supplier in the production activities has recently been confirmed by the FTA, the origin of the disputed mineral, the environmental impact assessment of the product, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals, the obligation to provide information on regulations, and the Korea Chemical Assessment and Registration Act, which will be implemented in 2015.

Therefore, producers are inconvenienced to provide information on the production items to a separate information providing site and to provide them again to the customer as a part of marketing.

In addition, product developers can not individually search numerous homepages operated by producers directly or indirectly in order to find the materials needed for product development, and even if they find the necessary materials, it is often difficult to trust the quality or performance .

Accordingly, there is a need to develop a method for collecting material information that can provide accurate information on materials in a simple and easy manner.
