③ Quoting & Billing
Stage 01 / The Hook
Machine & Labor Dynamics
Establishes your baseline — every downstream calculation anchors to these inputs.
Q1 · Shop Profile
Revenue, operator count & loaded hourly rate
Every formula below anchors to these three numbers. Use your fully-loaded rate including burden, insurance, and benefits.
Q2 · Annual Operator Turnover
Machine operators replaced per year
$0
turnover leak/yr
Industry average is 15–25% for skilled machine operators. Every departure triggers replacement cost plus ramp drag on the new hire.
2 replaced/yr

Q3 · New-Operator Ramp Time
Weeks to reach full production speed
$0
ramp deficit/yr
During ramp, new operators typically run at ~55% efficiency while drawing full wages. The gap is pure overhead.

Q4 · Unplanned Downtime
Machine downtime from unplanned stoppages
Tooling failures, unplanned maintenance, and program errors idle expensive equipment. We value each lost hour as foregone machine contribution plus the operator wages you still pay — not full shop rate.
No Preventive Maintenance Schedule — check if this applies. If checked: unplanned downtime compounds because failures aren't caught early, and rush repairs typically cost 2-3x a scheduled fix.
⚠️ Guaranteed Profit Leak Identified
Aging equipment without a preventive maintenance schedule compounds downtime cost over time — each failure risks scrapping the in-progress job on top of the machine's lost capacity.

Stage 02 / The Exposure
Quality & Materials
This is where scrap cost surfaces. Most shops assume their job-costing catches this — it doesn't.
Q5 · Scrap & Material Waste
% of material cost lost to scrap
$0
scrap leak/yr
Typical job shops run roughly 2-3% scrap; strong operations sit under 1%, weak ones above 5%. Enter your actual estimated rate — we apply it to your material spend rather than assuming a number for you.

Q6 · Setup & Changeover Time
Excess hours per changeover vs. your best operator
$0
changeover waste/yr
Enter the average extra time a typical changeover takes compared with your fastest operator. Multiplied across every setup in a year, that gap is unbilled labor.

Q7 · Monthly Rework Rate
Parts failing first-article or in-process inspection
$0
rework cost/yr
Each reworked part costs approximately $210 in re-machining labor, re-inspection, and schedule disruption.

Stage 03 / The Closing Proof
Quoting & Billing Drift
This is where standard shop-floor tools go silent. These leaks compound invisibly for months — sometimes years.
Q8 · Quote-to-Actual Margin Audit
Last review of quoted vs. actual job margin
Jobs quoted at a target margin routinely lose ground during production. Every unreconciled job hides the real gap between what you thought you'd make and what you actually made.
Within the last 3 months
Active tracking — minimal margin drift
3–12 months ago
Margin variance likely compounding
Over 12 months ago or never

Q9 · Machine Utilization
% of available spindle time actually cutting
$0
capacity gap/yr
High-mix job shops legitimately spend large amounts of time on setups, inspection, and tool changes — so we don't hold you to a high-volume production target. Typical job shops run 25–35% spindle utilization; stronger operations reach 45–55%. We model the gap between where you are and a realistic job-shop target, not a theoretical maximum.

Q10 · Job-Costing ↔ Shop-Floor Integration
Automated sync or manual reconciliation?
Manual bridging between job travelers and job costing averages 4-6 hours per week of admin waste — plus elevated billing error risk.

Shop-floor data syncs directly to job costing — minimal admin waste
Partially automated
Some manual steps required — ~3 hrs/wk reconciliation waste

Spreadsheets or paper travelers — ~6 hrs/wk waste plus high error risk
