The portfolio concept was initially developed within the learning knowledge and now constitutes an important planning tool to ensure an overall strategic perspective on the flow of materials in the teaching process. This paper contends that this concept is also relevant to the capital knowledge, and describes the development of portfolios methods to manage the flow of materials from subjects area with goal and objectives to installation onsite, and its application to a Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan &Applied Science University, The Colleges of Economics and Administrative Sciences Project. The case study evidence suggests that the focal point of portfolios concepts are the interfaces between parties, and exchange of information, and development across project organisational boundaries based on partnering-type arrangements. The management of the flow materials from the portfolio point of view also requires early planning of selection of materials, and in more detail, than is required in the traditional approach to materials procurement.
