I priced an arm and gripper for spacer unloading, then told my colleague the fixture was only a little job; he asked how little and I had nothing, so what should our first pilot estimate actually contain?

Ask whoever makes the fixture to estimate the work, including changes after the first trial, because little is currently standing in for somebody else's time.

Our machinist would make it, and I had assumed he would fit it around other jobs.

Which other jobs lose that time?

Repair work, mostly, which makes the free-time assumption look worse rather than better.

Before any fixture gets made, time the manual unload and watch where the fiddly bits are. We had a proposed handling exercise where getting the parts into a sensible starting position took longer than moving them. Lovely robot problem, poor reason to buy a robot.

Include the people needed for the trial too, not just the machining estimate; someone will prepare parts, supervise it and deal with the interruptions.

Julia, baseline timing is now part of the proposal; Naomi, I'll name preparation and trial support instead of putting one vague labour allowance.

When I get called back to a supposedly simple job, it's usually an awkward part or a recovery nobody taught. Budget a second person learning those cases, not just you becoming very good at rescuing the pilot.

And agree the pilot's supervision and safeguarding before treating it as a normal production task.

Understood, Anika; this stays a reviewed supervised trial, and Leah's second-person training is in the scope I'm taking to my colleague.

What result would make you drop it? Put that beside the budget before everyone gets fond of the kit.

Keep the repair-work displacement visible in that discussion as well, since a promising unload time won't give the machinist those hours back.
