name: 'Quoting bound to the production schedule'
status: approved
mechanism: >-
Compute the suggested price and the promised date against a specific asset
slot in the same schedule that holds availability and output rate, so the
commercial commitment and the capacity record are one decision rather than
two. The rule set that adjusts price by size, weight, and volume keeps
running, but it reads the schedule instead of assuming it.
capabilities:
- name: 'Rule-based quoting with product definition, accounts, quote delivery, acceptance, and sales attribution'
classification: native
conditions:
- 'The customer states its pricing rules.'
evidence_ids: []
- name: 'Production schedule with bills of material, work orders, allocations, and production lines or locations'
classification: native
conditions:
- 'Per-asset output rates have to be entered and maintained.'
evidence_ids: []
- name: 'Binding the account''s quoting rules to asset availability and output rate'
classification: configured
conditions:
- 'The customer states the per-asset rules, including which assets run which work well.'
- 'Requires the schedule to be current, which makes it dependent on scheduling discipline.'
evidence_ids: []
- name: 'Forecasting engine with seasonality and risk exposure, for price, production, and time'
classification: configured
conditions:
- 'Configured to the customer''s data model.'
- 'Seasonality requires historic data. Accuracy without it is not established.'
evidence_ids: []
- name: 'Raw material planning, zero-stock strategy, and leftover management'
classification: roadmap
conditions:
- 'Seller described this as a next step once data is in the system, not as current behaviour.'
- 'No release date was given.'

- name: 'Preventive and predictive maintenance'
classification: unavailable
conditions:
- 'Seller stated no module exists.'
- >-
The seller''s personal patents in predictive maintenance are individual
background and must never be presented as product capability.
evidence_ids: []
expected_outcome_hypotheses:
- 'A quote can carry a price and a date computed against a named asset slot rather than a general rule.'
- 'Quoted margin and realised margin become comparable per order.'
- 'Sequencing choices can be evaluated against their cost before the commitment is made.'
limitations:
- 'No maintenance capability of any kind, so asset availability does not account for planned downtime.'
- 'Material planning is not available today, so a slot can be confirmed that material cannot supply.'
- 'Output depends on per-asset rates being maintained. Stale rates produce confident, wrong answers.'
- 'Sequencing judgement is supported, not replaced.'
prohibited_claims:
- 'Any preventive or predictive maintenance capability, and any association of the seller''s patents with the product.'
- 'That raw material planning, zero-stock, or leftover management is available.'
- 'Any quantified improvement in win rate, margin, on-time delivery, or changeover count.'
- 'That scheduling becomes automatic or that human sequencing is removed.'
- >-
Any extrusion changeover or run-length behaviour when selling into
`M1_V2`. Moulding setup, cavity, and cycle-time behaviour is different and
the transfer rule prohibits carrying it.
