Re-Quote Impact at 72% re-quote scope included: a worked example

This worked example runs the re-quote impact numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 72% re-quote scope included instead of the typical 100%. Estimate cost exposure from customer re-quotes and drawing revisions.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Changed cost per affected unit: 9.4 $ / unit (held at the documented default)
  • Affected quote or order quantity: 520 units (held at the documented default)
  • Re-quote scope included: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 100)
  • Expected customer recovery: 80 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: gross re-quote impact before recovery = changed cost per affected unit × affected quote or order quantity.
  • recoverable re-quote impact works out to 2,815 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • gross re-quote impact before recovery works out to 4,888 $ at these inputs.
  • re-quote impact outside the revised scope works out to 1,369 $ at these inputs.
  • re-quote impact not recovered works out to 704 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where re-quote scope included sits at 100% and the headline result is 3,910 $, this scenario comes in 28% below the baseline at 2,815 $.
  • Use it the moment a cost driver shifts after a quote is locked, a steel surcharge, a new finishing operation, or a revised tolerance, and you need a defensible number before reopening price with the customer. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • recoverable re-quote impact: 2,815 $ (headline result)
