Requirement register
Each extracted requirement carries its source, revision and proposed response. Missing tolerances, incompatible options and uncertain matches stay open.
From an incoming request to a reviewed quote.
A worked example for manufacturing: turn a request for quotation (RFQ) into a draft a sales engineer can check, refine and approve.
Before
Knowledge is scattered. The deadline is not.
A sales engineer reads specifications, searches previous offers and asks colleagues for missing details. The same context is assembled again for costing and approval.
Proposed workflow
Prepare the decision. Keep authority clear.
Receive
Record the RFQ and documents. Link every extracted requirement to its source.
Resolve
Retrieve permitted product data and comparable offers. Flag missing or contradictory requirements.
Prepare
Draft the technical response and proposed configuration using approved costing rules.
Review
A sales engineer checks feasibility, assumptions, price and exceptions before approval.
Record
Write approved fields to CRM or ERP with an audit record and duplicate-action protection.
The review pack
Give the engineer something concrete to check.
Configuration and assumptions
Show the proposed product or bill-of-materials reference alongside the assumptions used. Comparable historical offers provide context, not automatic authority for today’s price.
Approval and write-back
Technical feasibility and commercial terms have separate approval owners. The final system action uses the approved version and records the resulting quotation ID.
Human controls
No unreviewed commercial commitment.
The system does not approve price, accept contractual terms or promise technical feasibility. Missing evidence and conflicting requirements route to the responsible person.
Measurement plan
Compare like-for-like work.
Compare similar product families and request complexity. Time the entire path from receipt to an accepted quotation, separating hands-on preparation, approval waiting time and corrections. Count proposals that reviewers reject or rebuild as part of the cost.
Baseline
Sample comparable RFQs and record elapsed time, engineering effort, corrections and exceptions.
Quality
Check requirement coverage, source accuracy, configuration validity and review effort.
Scale decision
Compare similar requests before and during the limited deployment. Expand only when the evidence shows reliable quality and less manual work.
Handover
A workflow the team can maintain.
Handover includes interface specifications, evaluation cases, approval rules and recovery procedures. Commercial authority remains with the manufacturer.
