THE DIRECT ANSWER

Keep setup assumptions separate from per-piece run effort and identify whether the approved program and fixture can actually be reused. A repeat part number is not sufficient evidence. Confirm drawing revision, batch size and inspection requirements before converting the quote into a job with a credible production handoff.

Understand the decision

A customer requests fifty more shafts made last year, but the tolerance has tightened and the original fixture is unavailable. The estimator must decide whether the earlier setup allowance remains valid and prevent the shop from treating the order as an unchanged repeat batch.

Work through the requirements

  1. Compare revision, tolerance and fixture availability.
  2. Record setup assumptions independently of quantity.
  3. Approve the routing basis before job release.

Watch for this failure

Using the last unit price without reviewing the setup can understate a small repeat batch. Preserve the reason for any reused allowance, including fixture condition and program revision, so the shop can challenge it before production.
