Manufacturing Fact Finding Guide

Abstract

Manufacturing Fact Finding is one of the key elements of hardware production contract proposal evaluations. It is a critical examination of the offeror's cost (labor) estimates relative to the solicitation and the proposed manufacturing approaches and methods which culminates in a Technical Evaluation Report. The Technical Evaluation Report addresses the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the proposed direct and support labor estimates and is a major input to, and often the cornerstone for contract negotiations. The purpose of this document is to delineate a set of guidelines for fact finding production hardware manufacturing proposals to ensure fact finding is properly, rigorously and consistently performed by BMO. The audience targeted by this document are those individuals called upon to fact find the Manpower Volume of hardware manufacturing proposals. For the fact finding neophyte, it is intended as a primer and guide for the process. For the fact finding veteran, it is intended as a refresher and check list of the fact finding process.
