Accurate Technical Estimation on RFQs for Tier1 Aerospace Manufacturer in Saudi Arabia
At Cognitive Engineering Technologies Pvt. Ltd., we recently collaborated with a prominent Aerospace Manufacturing company in Saudi Arabia, providing comprehensive Technical Support for their Request for Quotation (RFQ) and Cycle Time Estimation needs.
While we do not engage in direct Cost Estimation, our role was pivotal in equipping the client with the detailed Technical Inputs required to build accurate and reliable cost models on their end.
Project Objective
To support the client’s internal Estimation team by delivering Engineering-driven data that informs:
- Machining Time Predictions
- Manufacturing Feasibility Assessments
- Special Process Requirements
- Resource and Capability Planning
- Stage-wise Breakdown of Manufacturing Processes
What We Delivered
- Detailed Process Sheets and Operation Plans
- Technical Cycle Time Estimates (not cost)
- Process Routing Suggestions
- Raw Material Size & Cutting Strategy Inputs
- Special Process Identification Reports
- Recommendations for Shop Capability Alignment
Outcome for the Client
- Streamline Their Internal Costing Workflows
- Respond Confidently to Aerospace RFQs with Realistic Timelines
- Build Repeatable Estimation Templates Using Engineering Logic
- Improve Cross-Functional Collaboration Between Planning, Production, and Sales Teams
Supporting Global Aerospace with Engineering Precision
This collaboration has not only enhanced the client’s Quotation Process, but also helped reinforce their Technical Readiness for complex Aerospace programs.
