Re-Quote Impact Calculator

Use this calculator to scale changed cost per unit across affected quantity and expected recovery when a customer asks for a revised quote after scope, drawing, material, tolerance, or due-date changes.

What this calculator does

  • Estimate cost exposure from customer re-quotes and drawing revisions.
  • deciding whether a re-quote needs a price change, schedule change, or customer approval
  • The result estimates the dollars that can be recovered from a re-quote scenario.

Formula used

  • gross re-quote impact before recovery = changed cost per affected unit × affected quote or order quantity
  • recoverable re-quote impact = gross re-quote impact before recovery × re-quote scope included × expected customer recovery

Inputs explained

  • changed cost per affected unit: Use the cost difference from material, routing, tolerance, setup, inspection, packaging, or due-date changes.
  • affected quote or order quantity: Use the parts, assemblies, lots, or releases impacted by the re-quote.
  • re-quote scope included: Use 100% for the full revision or less for one operation, line item, date change, or customer option.
  • expected customer recovery: Use the percentage of the changed cost expected to be accepted through revised pricing, change orders, or commercial negotiation.

How to use the result

  • Use it to document revision impact, negotiate customer changes, update pricing, and prevent margin leakage.
  • Treat the result as an estimate until the RFQ package, customer drawing revision, material quote, routing, setup standard, shop rate, outside service quote, scrap history, open capacity, due date, and quoted commercial terms are confirmed for the same job, lot size, and customer order.
