How to calculate ROI from faster quoting in manufacturing
A practical framework for estimating recovered engineering time, quote throughput, and revenue impact.

1. Hours currently spent quoting 2. Reduction in quoting time 3. Additional quotes submitted and expected win rate
Then include margin protection from fewer missed line items and better costing consistency. The combined effect can be significant even before headcount changes.
