Quantity Planning and Scheduling (QPS)

Challenges

Engineering quantity statistics is a core foundation for cost control, schedule planning, material procurement and settlement audit in the construction of large petrochemical projects. Due to the project's characteristics of large scale, complex processes, intensive professional intersection, long construction cycle and numerous participants, this work runs through the whole construction cycle and faces multiple prominent challenges in design, construction, professional collaboration, data management, construction mode and personnel process management.

1Deviations in source data at the design stage
The connection between process package and detailed design is flawed, with large deviations between estimated and accurate quantities. Frequent cross-professional design changes lead to missing or repeated statistics, and the bill of quantities for non-standard equipment accessories is incomplete.
2Disconnection between actual and designed quantities during construction
On-site construction conditions cause objective deviations in engineering quantities without unified measurement specifications. Hidden works are prone to false or missing records; subcontractors have inconsistent reporting standards, and engineering visa confirmation is non-standard, aggravating statistical distortion.
3Barriers in inter-professional collaborative statistics
Each professional has different measurement rules and statistical dimensions without unified project-level standards, leading to missing or repeated statistics. Cross-professional change data cannot be updated synchronously, and fuzzy professional interface division causes statistical blind spots in overlapping areas.
4High difficulty in massive data management
Data carriers are diverse and incompatible in format, with high error rates in manual entry and serious data islands. Real-time statistics and dynamic updates of massive data lag significantly, and there is no full-cycle data traceability mechanism, making subsequent verification and audit difficult.
5Increased statistical difficulty due to special construction modes
Modular construction requires the split statistics of prefabrication and on-site installation quantities, prone to missing or repeated statistics of rework quantities. Cross-border/regional projects have inconsistent measurement rules; the localization of non-standard equipment lacks unified statistical templates, increasing statistical difficulty.
6Non-standard personnel and statistical processes
There is a shortage of interdisciplinary talents with petrochemical process knowledge, measurement rules and digital tool application capabilities, leading to statistical errors. The lack of a full-cycle closed-loop statistical process and unclear responsibility division among participants result in data disconnection and mutual buck-passing in case of disputes.

What is QPS

Quantity Planning System (QPS), the professional quantity planning and management system, is a standardized and full-cycle data-driven platform tailored for large-scale complex projects (e.g., petrochemical, nuclear power, construction, hydropower). It is designed to address core project management challenges—quantity control, resource allocation, productivity monitoring, and construction period management—and deliver targeted insights on optimizing quantity management efficiency through end-to-end support from planning and feedback to analysis. 

Quantity Planning System (QPS) enables rapid formulation of accurate quantity plans from the outset, helping enterprises deliver projects on time and within budget. Leveraging standardized classification systems (PBS/QBS/CBS/WBS), built-in industry template libraries, domestic IT innovation support, and multi-terminal access (WEB, APP, PC client), it empowers flexible and efficient operation for project teams. It provides strong support in plan formulation, dynamic progress tracking, cross-system collaboration (seamless bidirectional integration with  PPE), and data visualization (S-curves, classified reports), facilitating the achievement of precise quantity control and overall project performance improvement. It also supports Excel import/export for convenient data interaction and multi-dimensional productivity calculation (budget/actual/cumulative/target productivity), ensuring accurate and efficient quantity management throughout the project lifecycle.
