Cost Estimating Software Tool Boosts Mattson/Witt Precision Products Quoting Speed


(West Springfield, MA) MTI Systems, Inc. has announced today that since implementing the company's Costimator cost estimating software, Mattson/Witt Precision Products, Inc. (Barrington, IL) has dramatically improved the consistency and speed of their cost-estimating process.

"Often times, we quoted similar parts to the same customer," said Kevin Graff, director of operations." When they see wild fluctuations in pricing, they tend to lose confidence. Occasionally, this put us in a position to have to defend pricing forcing us to review all parts again, thus wasting valuable time and resources."

Mattson/Witt Precision Products, Inc., an innovator in the water treatment industry, pioneered the plastic brine valve and they are known for being the go-to company for plastic component solutions. They developed a strong reputation for their workmanship & service - and wanted to ensure their quoting was more consistent. Costimator proved to be the answer.

"The final puzzle piece was finding a consistent platform for multiple users so everyone was singing from the same sheet of music," Graff explained. "With Costimator we saw that it came filled with virtually every machine available with the manufacturers recommended feeds and speeds. Now, simple & complex parts are quoted systematically and quickly with a high degree of accuracy. "

Read their case study - Costimator proves to be " the final piece of the puzzle" for Mattson/Witt Precision Products, Inc. and learn how this cost-estimating software helped to boost their ability to quote faster and more accurately.

Costimator was first developed in 1982 to help manufacturers estimate parts and processes. Whether machining, fabrication or mechanical assembly, it helps companies calculate cycle time and the cost of manufacturing a part or product assembly based on their equipment and their shop rates. Recently, the software has expanded its capabilities to include meeting the needs of a wide variety of OEM's - ranging from the defense & aerospace industries, to medical, automotive and consumer product manufacturers.
