Have you ever wondered what goes on in world of Estimating? Well, I will share with you the “Science of Estimating”. I will only scratch the surface here, but hopefully you will get the idea…
Before an Estimator can begin, there are 5 key elements that must be in place for Estimator to complete his/her task.
They are:
- Quantity
- Size of the piece
- Ink
- Paper
- Finishing
Other elements would be Description, Customer, and urgency of the piece to be printed. These are just as important as the 5 main, however, one can estimate with the 5 key elements, and fill in the blanks with other pertinent information afterwards.
There are many, many different sizes, ink configurations and papers. Business Cards to Large Format Maps to Booklets, and everything in between. It all just depends.
Finishing also comes in a variety of different forms. There are flat sheets, Saddle Stitched Booklets, Hand Glued & Folded pieces. It all just depends on the application. Some pieces are for long term use, some are meant to be used over a period of time, and some are meant to be read and/or used and discarded. It all just depends.
So, as you can see, the Science of Estimating has many different avenues, a plethora of different options, and lots of head scratching. It just all depends.
