Start with the existing spacer job over an agreed order boundary. Then ask the study to price the proposed preparation, release, changeover and staff involvement against that same work, with a decision before pilot spending.
9 pointsWe agreed to compare one regular spacer order first. My colleague wants a limit on the hours they can be pulled away from production.
4 pointsPut that limit in the study scope now. A small robot trial can become a large interruption if the fixture designer assumes your colleague is available whenever another sample is needed.
17 pointsA capped allowance is now listed. Fixture designer has asked for sample variation and current release steps before quoting its work.
20 pointsDid the designer get those details, Leo, or is the quote still waiting on your workshop?
21 pointsAnd keep the current method's interruptions in the baseline too. The comparison should not give either approach a conveniently uninterrupted best few minutes.
10 pointsDetails supplied, Felix. The study price includes fixture work and the capped staff allowance. We have not booked the pilot; the whole-order comparison is the next decision point.
12 pointsThat is a much better discussion to have with your colleague. They can judge a defined piece of work instead of being asked to absorb whatever the arm price forgot.
