Quote Margin with quoted selling price per part of 310 value: a worked example in precision springs, stampings & micro-formed components

Push quoted selling price per part up to 310 value and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when quote margin in precision springs, stampings and micro-formed components needs a clean margin number for a precision springs, stampings and micro-formed components go / no-go review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted selling price per part: 310 value (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 125)
  • Fully-loaded cost per part: 100 value (unchanged)
  • Reference price basis: 100 value (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Quote margin amount gap = available quote margin amount - required quote margin amount) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 % for quote margin, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 value for quote margin amount gap.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 310 value for available quote margin amount.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for required quote margin amount.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where quoted selling price per part sits at 125 value and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 740% above the baseline at 210 %.
  • It computes the dollar gap between quoted price and cost, then expresses that gap as a margin percentage of a reference price. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
