Materials and equipment is the physical basis for railway construction. Their quality and suitability have a direct influence on the quality of the project and strong impact on the safety of the future railway operation. This paper studies the method of building a prompt and accurate Materials Tracking Management Information System (MTMIS). Based on the platform of railway construction essential data, the MTMIS integrates basic data during the process of materials supplying, testing, allocating and quality inspection; analyzing data properties; and developing data coding and establishing the data correlations. Materials production batches, delivery batches, and inspection batches are collected and monitored in MTMIS, which provides possibility for tracing and positioning individual materials and equipment in the same batch. MTMIS also provide decision support for railway construction quality control and supplier credit rating and provide database export to future management information system applied during railway operation and maintenance.
