Ask the packing person to walk you through replenishment and changeover. You can put observed work beside the supplier assumptions, then mark what still needs a trial. I wouldn't give that labour a neat hourly figure before seeing the job.
10 pointsShe also has to assemble the inserts. Neither quote mentions that. I'll start with her actual sequence.
19 pointsThat could be a substantial bit of the job. Does either proposal change how the inserts get prepared, or are both quietly starting after she's done them?
19 pointsBoth start after preparation. We're adding it to the staff estimate and asking what training each supplier includes.
7 pointsInclude who covers her regular work during that training too. We've found a day's supplier visit can take several people's time even when the quote only has one day on it.
16 pointsAnd let her practise a changeover. Watching one isn't the same experience.
21 pointsAdded practical changeover training and staff cover. The subtotal has grown, but it now describes work we recognise.
17 pointsThat's a better basis for comparing them. I'd still keep the untested replenishment timing visible as an assumption, so it doesn't quietly become a promised saving when the sheet gets forwarded.
