Cost Estimating Survey

In October of 2006, MTI Systems surveyed over 10,000 job shops nationwide on the effect that cost estimating has on their business. Of those people that responded...

64% believe their company has lost jobs because of overestimating what their costs would be to make a part during the quoting process.

93% believe their company has lost money on a job because the actual cost of manufacturing the part was more than it had been estimated to be.

93% have added a "Fudge Factor" to their quotes because they were unsure of its accuracy.

79% have not responded to an RFQ because they did not have time to quote it by the stated deadline.

71% have customers asking them to justify their pricing by demanding a detailed cost breakout when submitting a quote.
