Against the cheaper offer. Labour, space and any presentation fixtures it needs. Has the other supplier included those?
13 pointsThey've included a presentation fixture, but not filling it. So both offers start after the awkward bit, just with different kit in the picture.
20 pointsThen give both the same incoming condition. Include empty-tray removal too.
16 pointsI've added that. Stores already clears the returns at the manual station; I'll check whether the proposed layout blocks that route.
22 pointsAlso ask who resets the fixture for the next box size. Tool-free adjustment can still take someone's time.
22 pointsHave you timed someone filling one of those proposed fixtures by hand, Alex, because that might answer the expensive question before either supplier redraws the cell?
18 pointsNot yet. We can compare a mock-up with the manual station using the same incoming boxes. Need to include the empty returns, as Beth said.
23 pointsDid the comparison. Sorting and presenting take most of the handling time, so we've asked both suppliers to price that part explicitly. I'm not selecting an arm from the transfer time alone.
9 pointsWhat did stores say about the return-tray route?
