Quest Services
     
   

Product development is a key element in the successful sales cycle. Accurately judging the cost and value of a product is becoming more and more important. Traditionally, it has been deemed acceptable to measure the fabrics, cost the trims, price the accessories…. and to then guess the labour content!

     
    That process of "estimating" labour is fast becoming a thing of the past. Certainly, labour is rarely the largest cost element in a product, but….. knowing how long it takes to make a product is not just about cost…. Efficiency, productivity, production capacity and delivery dates all rely on accurate assessment of the time it takes to manufacture the goods.
     
    GSD Quest® is a bespoke service offered to the Retail Sector and to the smaller manufacturer who perhaps does not have the infrastructure to undertake a full GSD® application, and facilitates rapid estimation of the "Standard Time" involved in manufacturing a product. On request, we will analyse your product range and provide you with an accurate assessment of labour content. The analysis we provide will come either from our existing library of information, or we can construct specific data for your unique product range.
