How to Build Costing Modelers for Contract Electronics Program Quote Pricing Analysis

RFQ, Quoting, Costing, & Pricing | PDF | $249

When your EMS provider quotes a price, do you know what the product should actually cost to manufacture? Not compared to another quote. That just tells you which provider quoted lower. Do you know the real number? Most OEM teams cannot answer that question because their entire cost knowledge comes from what providers tell them. A costing modeler built from your own data changes the negotiation completely.

This document identifies the specific contributions required from nine OEM departments, covering engineering, procurement, operations, finance, sales and marketing, legal, and program management. For each department, it defines what data and inputs must be contributed, who is responsible for delivering them, and how those inputs feed into a costing model that captures both direct manufacturing costs and the fully-burdened indirect labor costs most OEMs miss entirely. Includes a department input summary matrix. Built to create an independent cost baseline so OEM teams negotiate from knowledge rather than from provider-supplied numbers.

Who this is for
