Quotation Process for Contract Manufacturing.... an example

     This is an example of how a quotation process is for contract manufacturing environment. 

    There are multiple systems used in the market for contract manufacturers. Some of them are using off the shelf product to carry out a quote. While others may have developed internal system to manage this process. Of course there are pros & cons for these 2 options. Can you list a few?  

    The below picture suggest the first part of the quotation process flow. The second part of the quotation process is actually listed in my earlier blog, named "new business buy off".

   

    There might be technical terms used. Please email me if you have any questions. This could be a basic start for you to learn how to know the whole quotation process works in an EMS industry. 

    Just one additional note, this process can also be used for any major ECO (engineering change order) re-quote. 

    Hope this helps you understand a little bit more on the quotation process in an EMS industry. As usual, I appreciate your feedback & comments. If you need a PDF copy, please email me. 

Thanks.
