About this example

This example is the quote a sheet metal job shop in Cincinnati, Ohio, sends a food equipment manufacturer for three parts of a new machine: 60 welded stainless steel control enclosures, 60 access panels with pressed-in studs, and 240 powder-coated steel mounting brackets, built to the customer's drawings.

Buyers compare fabrication quotes part by part, so every part line carries its gauge and material, the operations it goes through, and its finish. Programming, flat patterns, first articles and a weld fixture are one-time charges kept apart from the part prices. A four-step process shows how the enclosure is cut, formed, welded and inspected. A price break table shows each part at four quantities, followed by the assumptions on tolerances and certificates, what is excluded, short terms on surcharges and overruns, and an acceptance block that also takes a PO.

Who it is for

Sheet metal shops, metal fabricators and job shops that quote cut, formed and welded parts from customer drawings.
