The entire material management process is about meeting the engineering requirements at the correct time. So, generating accurate engineering requirements in an efficient manner is the first step for effective material management.
The goal at this stage is to define and quantify the engineering requirements. These requirements might be new or might result from certain change management in the existing system.
