👉 Quantity engineering, also known as materials management or procurement optimization, is a systematic approach used in manufacturing and construction to ensure that the right amount of materials are ordered, delivered, and utilized efficiently. It involves analyzing project requirements to determine the precise quantities of raw materials, components, and labor needed, thereby minimizing waste, reducing costs, and optimizing resource allocation. This process includes evaluating supplier options, negotiating contracts, and implementing strategies to manage inventory levels effectively. By integrating quantity engineering into project planning, organizations can enhance productivity, improve project timelines, and achieve better overall project outcomes while maintaining quality standards.
