Quoting the parts you have made before
Most quotes in a job shop are for something you have already made.
- 20 quotes a week
- 25 minutes each from scratch: find the drawing, the material, the last price
- 5 minutes each when the part, method and last quote are on file
- Time quoting per week
- 20 × 25 min = 8.3 hours
- 20 × 5 min = 1.7 hours
- Per year
- ≈ 415 hours
- ≈ 85 hours
About 6.6 hours a week back — roughly 8 working weeks a year of one person's time.
