MTI Systems Offers Trial of Costimator Estimating Software
This article debunks 5 myths surrounding cost estimating for manufacturing.
WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA – July 23, 2014 – MTI Systems revealed today that they now offer manufacturing suppliers and OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) a free trial of their Costimator cost estimating and quoting software. The software is available at no charge to help manufacturers evaluate how the technology can easily create value for their business.
"Industry data shows that the majority of manufacturers have no systematic, scientific way of estimating part or assembly costs, instead relying heavily the experience of their estimators." adds David LaJoie, Product Manager, MTI Systems, "Since this manual method of estimating is very subjective, it can lead to drastic inconsistencies between estimators, and even worse, from estimate to estimate."
